r, We have received three numbers of the
q Liberia Herald, viz: those for the ed, 3d.
and 4th month last The number for the
% Cd month details the facts IN relation TO the
murder of Logan, a colonist who had
4 settled himself on the 81, Paul's, in the
Dey's country. acithout the Limits of the
Colony. In a fracas with some Mandin-
= goes, and while attempting to wrest bull
lockfrom them, flor debt, as is alleged, J
one man was killed, and Logan was
accused Of the crime He was accord
ingly tried by the colonists. and as q, mat
ter OF course, his friends acquitted him
Contrary TO advice, he returned to his
n farm, where three or four days after he
VI was murdered BY the relations and friends
J Of the slain native, and an "American"
from Bassa Cove, and a native boy, car.

The Mandingoes are represented as a
fierce and warlike people, whose code,
IKE that If all savages,, is. "blood for
blood" The Deys, among which the
murder Of Logan was perpetrated, are
spoken Of in the sane number Of the
Herald as A"an Ignorant, harmless, and

THE TRACT AND THE JUG.

While travelling through an adjoining
county few days since, | was informed
of circumstance which is proof positive,
of the real value of tracts. A brother
who had met with an accident while pass
ing through the town of NJ, called
at bIacksmith's shop for aid. The
smith was absent, but his wife allowed
the stranger to use the Jorge and tools, as
it was impossible for him to proceed with
out repairing the loss. While at work in
the shop, he accidentally stumbled on
Jug which contained ardent spirits. The
careless appearance of the working sppa-
ratus--the lenky and crazy house-the
rickety fence-the garden overrun with
weeds-the lean, half starved GOWN
fact all he saw or heard, plainly said
Ga drunkard lives here" He fortunately
had a, tract on drunkenness, which he
thrust between the handle and the Jug,
praying that God would use it fol good.
The miserable husband-the unkind faith
er-the brutal inebriate -eturned-he had
pressed the cup of liquid fire to his lips.
his soul was bathed in alcohol -the foup-
tain of human kindness had been burned
within him-all the tender sympathies of
the heart were chilled-and how could
he expect to find his home the calm and
peaceful cottage where he once centered
all his hopes. Sullen and morose, he
seeks his companion the jug. But what
is that in the HANDLED He reads-dashees

A FRAGMENT.

It is a solemn task to wait beside
The couch of the departing to kneel down.
And wipe the death-damps from the coid' "hi'e
brow
OF those we love; to moisten the dry lips
And grasp the hand too feeble to return
The slightest pressure, and to see the I'D
Grow 6xed and motionless upon the eye;
In utter helplessness to sit, and mark
Each essening pulse throb faint and fainter still
And krow and feel that man can do no more.
Yet even here the voice of joy sometimes
Is heard above the wailing OF distress.
There have been those who triumphed when
they died;-
form unseen stood by, and whispered words
The living could not hear, and nerv'd the sou
OF feeble woman, patiently to bear
Natures last throb of mortal agony;
And there WAS oNE--a wife, mother, friend,
Who taught, while dying, more exalted truths
Than thousand homilies could ever teach.

You don't mean nothin' friendly, you
don't, as the rat said to the cat ven she bit
him in the back.
I'm for risin' in the world, as the balloon
said to the bag of sand, and must take
care fm not burst in the process, as the bag
of sand said to the balloon.
I'll penetrate his heart if he has one, as
the mouse said ven he nibbled his way
through the cheese.
We are all here and Waiting for you, as
the leas said to the old woman vot had Just
got back to her own bed, arter sleeping out
for week.
It's pretty, but not pleasant, as the mon
key said ven they painted his tail sky-blue
We don't often see the likes o. you in OuI
parts of the world, as the devil said ven one
Of his imps handed him an ice-cream.
Ven wants you, knows where to fint
you, as the spider said to the fly, ven h'
vove his web all around him to prevent IN
catching cold.
I've seen you vonce, and don't want t.
see you again, as the sick gentleman sal
to the devil ven he called on him one We
afternoon.
We don't want TOO many in this concern Z
vonce, as the boys said ven they got inI
the empty sugar tub.
That's enough to give any one pain
his back, as the cockroaeh said ven the mi
ger put his foot on him.
