| A BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY.-When God
created man, he commanded his angels
to visit him on earth, and guide him In
his way, so that he might foretaste the
| bliss of the life to come.
But lustful man sought after sensual
joys IN preference to those Of heaven, and
growing greedy of worldly fruits, began
to quarrel with his brethren for the posses
sion of them; and the guardian angles
wept among themselves. But when the
strong oppressed the weak, and took from
them by force the produce of their soil,
justice rose up sorrowing, and leaving
earth, flew up to heaven. And when the
injured went forth to STAY their injurers,
and crimsoned the plain with their broth
ers' blood, peace rose up sorrowing, and
leaving earth, flew back to heaven. Thus
each bad act scared some good ange from
the world until forgiveness the most
beautiful of all alone remained behind.
And when she heared anger and re-
venge whisper dark deeds in mans ears,
and counsel them to repel the wrongs
that had been done them. she rose up
sorrowing and said will not leave the
1rth 10 -, IL,
| might have rested in my Fathers bo-
som, for men needed me not. But now
that they have fled, | will seek to make
hun listen to my voice, telling him that
as he cherIshes forgiveness there, SO will
forgiveness cherish him hereafter" So
the lovelIest child of heaven remained on
earth and peace and love, repenting, flew
back and followed her train. The good
genius that turned every thing INTO gold.
Poisoned ARROWS OF BRAZILIAN IN
DIANs.-The most curious and the most
formidable weapon Is the blowing cane.
This is eight or ten feet in length, two
inches in diameter at the large end. and
gradually tapering to less than an inch
at the utmost extremity. 1t is usually
formed by two great grooved pieces of
wood fastened together by the winding of
a rattan. and carefully pitched, The bore
Is less than an inch IN diameter. The al
row for this cane Is a split of palm one
foot IN length, sharpaned at one end to
delicate point, and at the other, wound
with the silky tree cotton, to the size Of
a tube. The point of this is dipped in

striking an object, it may break its own
weight, and leave the point in the wound.
With this instrument, an Indian will, by
the mere force OF his breath. shoot with
the preci Ssion of rifle, hitting an object
at a distance of several rods. Oar Gen
TO Pedro never used any other weapon
and we saw him, one day, shoot at a tur-
key buzzard upon a houSe-top, at a dis
lance of about eight rods. The arrow
struck fairly In the breast, the bird flew
over the house and fell dead. Senior Hen
rIque assured US that an Indian in his en-
ploy, at one time or another, had brought
IN seven happy eagles thus shot. The &C
counts we received of the composition of
this poison, were not very explicit, and a.
