 In order preserve his health and increase his days he must take little in the morning to give him an appetite, or increase it. He knows when it is ten o'clock without consulting any time piece, and he must have little stimulating aid. But the sun reaches his meridian; then he must have some more oi tins stimulus before he dine. Al four in the a

 that about year since the legislature of Georgia pas
 sed an act disqualifng the Cherokee and Greek Tn dans from giving testimony againEt the white people of Georgia. 1t appears by the annexed extract from the message of GOvernor Gilmore to the legislature its session which commenced on the 18th uIt. that he recommends the abolition of thae law, and restora- tiOn to the Indians of ther Iormer rghts and prive. ges. The authorities O Georgia had learnt doubtless that the moral sense of that community was op- posed to the law.
 "It is due to Indian people that that provision
 in the law of 1899 should he repealed which prevents Indians, and the descendants of Indians from being competent witnesses in the of the Sfae in ca- ses where white man is party. The present law exposes them to great oppression, whilst its repeal would most probably injnro one. Attempts have been made 10 strip them of their property by forged contracts, because of the mpOssbility of defending their rights by the testimony of those who alone can know them. And although the moral feelings of Our frontier community has been too correct to hermit such infamous proceedings effect their enS yet the character Of legislation for justice requires that the rights of these department people should not be determine upon the competency of witnesses and our Juries to weigh their credbility."

ESCAPE FROM A LION.

TAMBoOKiE VEL, DEC. =, 1877.
About IL o'clock, I preached from
Heb. Iii, IO.-When Divine service
was over. l visited poor sick Hotten-
tot, who recently experienced one of
the most remarkable and providential
deliverances that ever heard or read
Of. found him in great pain from the
shocking wounds he had received on
the occasion; and in the course Of con-
versation he furnished me with the
following particulars of his escape from
the jaws Of q lion, which he ascribes
wholly to the gracious interposition Of
the Father Of Mercies, aud which are,
therefore, worthy Of being recorded to
his glory.
About three weeks or q month ago,
he went out on hunting excursion,
accompanied by several other natives.
Arriving on an extensive plain, where
there ~as abundance Of game, they
discovered a number of lions also,
which appeared TO be disturbed By
their approach. a prodigiously large
male Immediately separated himself
from the troop, aud began slowly to
advance towards the party, the msjori-
~ Of whom were young aud unsccus-
toned to rencOntres Uf so formidable q
nature. When drOyes Of timid ante
Iopes, or spring bucks only cane in
their way, they made great boast Of
their courage, but the very appearance
Of the forests king made tbem tremble.
While the animal was yet at distance,
they ell dismsunted, to prepare for lir-
ing, and according to the custom OF
such occasions, began tying their
horses together, by means Of their bril-
dies, with the view of keeping the lat
ter between them ADD the lion, ~ an
object TO attract his attention until
they were able TO take deliberate aim.
His movements, however, were too
swift for them. Before the horses were
properly fastened to each other, the
monster made a tremendous bound or
two, and suddenly pOonced upon the
hind parts Of one II them, which, IN its
fright, plunged forward and knocked
down the poor man IN question, Who
was holding the Feins in his hand. His
comrades instantly took flight, and ran

rose as quickly az possible. in order a.
follow them. But no sooner bad he
regained his feet, than the majestic
beast with a seeming consciousness Of
hls superior might, stretched forth his

NATURAL DREAD OF DEATH

II seems TO US strange, il seems a.

from the very constitution Of things,
death must close every scene Of human
life, where il hath reigned for ages
over all generations, where the very
air we breathe and the dust we tread
upon was once animated Iife-itseems to
us most strange and wrong, that this
most common, necessary expedient,
and certain Of all events, should bring
such horror aud Gesolation with il
that IL should bring such tremendous
agitation. as if it were some awful and
unprecedented phenomenon that il
should be more than death--a shock,
a catastrophe. q convulsion 4; as IL TIA
ture, instead Of holding on its steady
course, were falling into irrstrievab;e
ruins.
And that which is strange, is our
strangeness To this event Call sick
ness, we repeat, call pain, an approach
TO death. Call the WEAKNESS and
failure Of the limbs and senses, call
decay, dying. IL is so; il is .
gradual loosening OF the cords Of life,
and breaking up Of its reservoirs
and resources. So shall they all, one
and another, give way. 81 feel''--

PARENTS.

Consider, thou who art a parent,
the importance Of thy trust. The
being thou hast produced il is thy
duty TO support. Upon thee slso It
dependenth, whether the child Of thy
bosom shall be blessing or a curse
to thyself-a useful or q worthless
member of the community. Prepare
him early with instruc ton, aud season
his mind early with the maxims Of truth.
watch the bent Of his inclination, set
him right in his youth, and let no evil
habit gain strength with his years.
So shall he rise like cedar on the
mountain. His head shall be seen
above the trees Of the forest. The
soil is thine own. Let it not want
cultivation. The seed which thou
sowest, that also shalt thou reap.
A wicked son is reproacb to his e..
Their; bat he that doeth right 10 an
honor to his grey heirs.
Teach him obedience. and he shall
bless thee Teach him nodesfy, and
he shall not be ashamed: Teach him
gratitude, and he shall receive bene.
fits Teach him charity. and he shall
gain love: Teach him temperance,
and he shall have health: Teach him
prudence, and fortune shall attend
him : Teach him justice, and he shall
be honored by the world : Teach him
sincerity. aud his own heart shall not
reproach him: Teach him diligence,
and his wealth shall increase Teach
him be',evoience, and his mind shall be
exalted: Teach him science, and his
life shall be useful: Teach him reti.
gion, and his death shall be happy.

THE TWO SEXES.

The last number of the Ladies' Magazine con-
tains its usual varc,y Of valuable and interesting
matter. The following true and elegant para
graphs extracted from article by Mrs ST.
gourlscy, whose mind is the dwelling Of light and
beauty.
"Man might be initiated into the Va.

taught to have patience with the feeble.

different spheres, and constructed in

necessarily imply inferiority. The
high places Of the earth with their
