The reform thus auspiciousIy commenc-
ed, has kept pace with the steady progress
of the cause ever since The present
year, with population of at least $685.
600 there are 2,507 liquor shops, or one
for every $50 souls. which exhibits in ten
years decrease, not merely Of 33 1-3 per
cent. as the society's statistics might lead
to expect, but Of at least rs per cent. If
this grievous curse had gone on uncheck-
ed IN the ratio of the population, as before
the formation ofthe society, instead OF g.
507 liquor stores, the number the present
year would have been 6,84I.
La harmony with these facts, is the dim.
irution in the man ufacture, and also in
the manufacture, and also in the import
alton of distilled liquors. There were 10

the question which divided them was,
whether the crocodile was TO be worship

controversy. On a certain day, the one
party appearing riding on tie back of cro-
coolies whom it appeared they had train

Hence, on ancient coins, that country was
often symbollzed by the crocodile aud the
palm. n
Having, myself. no great liking to the
croc odie, from all that had heard of the
animal, | was not very much grati6ed to
learn. as We were going up the Nile and
had arrived opposite TO the Town OF Croc-
odiiopis, that there were about fifty of
them on an island little ahead OF our
boat, lying basklng in the sun.

Remembering this, and supposing the
crocodile to be similar sort of creature,
or even more formidable. it is not surpris-

should occasion me some very unpleasant
feeling. felt in fact trenor creeping

1t was early in the morning, and there

But no sooner did the prov touch the

The captain now turned to me and
said. hope you are not afraid now
On fnriher inquiry, discovered why my
apprehension excited so much mirth. The
crocodile is, in fact, the most harmless oil
animals. as perfectly so as pigeon or a
dove. The women on the banks of the
Nile come down to the river with lars,
which they fill with its water; and ia or
der to get it as clear as possible, they
wade o0l,from the bank into the stream as
far as they'c go, sometimes quite up to
their necks, and often bring their children
with them. While both women and
children were thus in the wafer. l have
