The Tabled Upas Tree.

What passes with most people as a fable, is,
after all, reality. BroOke's Journals of a resi-.
dence in Borneo are entitled to all credit. for
their author ranks already as one of the most re-
markable men of the age, having, by his indi-
vidual enterprise, put in train series of events
resulting in the conquest and the probable civil
izatOn of the savages of that island.
While making geological examinations in
search of coal, he, with his friends, discovered
an isolated Upas tree Gntea'ias taricaria,) near
ly forty feet high. Its trunk was almost straight,
its bark smooth, and of red tan color, and its
head dense mass Of green glossy foliage. The
ground beneath its shade is crowded with tombs,

Women of the olden Times.

An eloquent writer in the Ladies' Western
Magazine, hits off the false sentiment of mod
ern society in relation to. the gentler sex, and
among other good things, says:-
"The same qualities that blessed the rude
mountain homes of the olden time, when women
made their simple toilet by the mirroring waters,
must make them blessed now. The qualities,
that could make home anywhere, even in the
hove that stars shone through at night-the
heart that infused soul into the for better and
for worse" Of the ceremonial-ther rare Jewels of
virtue and contentment that adorn her every day
like bride'--the willing sacrifice of thousand
present pleasures to the common good-the
bright intelligence that can interest, if it cannot
gulde-the gentleness that can soothe, if it can.

A Remarkable Parrot.

A very remarkable instance is related of
parrot belonging to Mr. Braham, of Brompton,
which was presented to him by lady who had
bestowed great pains in teaching it to talk. This
gentleman had friend to dine with him one day,
and after dinner pause having Cnsued in the
conversation, the guest was startled by voice
proceeding from one corner of the room, calling
out in a strong hearty manner, Come, Braham,
give us song" Nothing could exceed the sur
prise and admiration OF the company. The re-
quest being repeated, and, not granted, the
parrot struck up the first verse of God save the
king" in clear, warbling tone, aiming at the
style of the singer, and sung it through. The
ease with which this bird was taught was equal
ly surprising as the performance. The same
lady taught it to accOst Madame Catalina, when
dining with Mr.. Braham, that it so alarmed her
that she nearly fell from her chair. On its COM
mencing " Rule Brittania," in loud and intrep-
id tone, the enchantress fell on her knees before
the bird, expressing in terms of delight, her ad-
miraton of its talents. This parrot has only
been equaled in talents by one owned by Colo
mel O'Kelly, of London. Once upon being ask
ed to sing, it replied, 81 never sing on Sun
day." "Never mind that, Poll" the Col. would
say, come, give US song" "No, excuse me,
have got cold" it would reply, "Don't you
know how hoarse ami" This extraordinary
bird could perform the verse entire, of "GOd save
the king" words and music from beginning to
end.

Humility.

If thou art a vessel of gold, and thy brother
but Of wood, be not high minded; it is God that
maketh thee to differ; the more bounty God
shows, the more humility he requires. Those
mines that are richest are deepest; those stars
that are highest seem smallest; the goodliest
buildings have the lowest foundations the more
God honoreth men, the more they should humble
themselves; the more fruit, the lower the branch
on which it grows; pride is ever the companion
of emptiness. Oh how full was the apostle, yet
how low was his language of himself-least Of
all saints, last of apostles, chief of sinners; no
suficiency to think, no abilities to do all that
he is, he is by Divine grace.-ReynOlds.

to imagine he will be, before trying it. If your
parents are rich, and have nothing better to do
with their msney, let them board you at Cam
bridge or Yale for four years. But if they are
poor, laboring people, stay with them and labor
too. But dent the less strive for liberal cdu-
cation. Be liberal in supplying yourself with
books and time. Journey on foot, and study ma
ture and men. Ask questions of everybody and
every thing. Thus doing, you viii probably ac-
quire more satisfactory and useful knowledge

distress your parents, to have knowledge put in

A Fable.

Once upon time, man., somewhat in drink
belize, raised dreadful outcry at the corner of
the market place, That the world was turned
topsy turvy that the men and cattle were all
walking with their feet uppermost that the
houses and earth at large (if they did not mind
it) would fall int the sky; in short, that unless
prompt means were taken, things in general were
on the high road to the devil" As the people
only laughed at him, he cried the louder and
more vehemently; nay, at last, began objuring,
foaming, imprecating when good natured au-
ditor, going uP took the orator by the launches,
and softly inverting his position, set him down
on his feet. The which upon perceiving, his
mind was staggered not a little. "Ha duce
take it p cried he, rubbing his eyes, $50 it was
not the world that was hanging by its feet, then
but /, that was standing on my head!" Censor

ma thought he could discover when he visited
that locality in 1749.
The savages of the forest attributed this Phe-
nomenon to the struggling of their ancestors to
return to the earth, and they discharged their flu
sis into the air to frighten them back to their
celestial abodes-fearng that should they all re-
turn, they would totally destroy the game, and
cause famine in the land.

Destruction of the Solar System.

Professor Michel, Of Glasgow University, de-
livered lecture before the Wilmington Club,
in London, and closed it with the following ex-
traordinary language. "The planets are retain
ed in their orbits, because two opposite forces
exactly balance each other. But modern astron-
omv has proved that there is power at work
destroying their balance. From observations
made on the retarded return of Encke's comet,
and its gradual approximation to the sun, we
learn the existence of fluid, an ether, which
however subtitle, tends to diminish the centrfu-
gal force and add to the attraction of the sum-
However slowly it may approach, we may yet

falls back obediently upon its mothers BOSOM

RESIGNATION.
By FLORENCE PERCY.

Though life is full of grief,
And dark with clouds of care,
And pleasures smile, tho bright, is brief
AS clouds in Summer air
Though gushing tears would vainly start,
When joys last ray is gone
Teach me to say, with yielding heart,
"Father-thy will be done !"
Though dearest hopes depart,
Each breaking as it flies,
One tie that binds my erring heart
To earth's vain mockeries--
Teach me-though thus the hottest ties
Are severed, one by one,-
To check the tears that fain would riso,
And say "Thy will be done !"
Though fades loves holy light,
Meier to rekindle more
Where had deemed 'twould lingel bright
Till life's brief dream be DER
Though cold and dark the shrine may be,
Where once its radiance shone-
Teach my crushed heart to turn to thee,
Breathing "Thy will be done!"
Though scorn usurps the place,
Where once affection shone-
And vainly strives my heart to trace
The love, before my own
Though earth's dark GOODNESS seems to chill
My stricken heart to stone
Teach me to whisper humbly, still,
"Father thy will be doneT'
Strengthen my trembling heart
To meet life's darkest hour,
Nor weakly bow, though sorrows dart =
Should pierce it, Utmost core
Teach me, oh, teach me to endure,
Till sets life's sinking sun
To know my faith in the secure
And say "Thy will be done"
