AM Unknown World.

English in Eastern A{rica-HS Fatal Gil
mGhe.-Quite recently the English have made 4
settlement at Alden, near the Red Sea. Having
once obtained 4 foothold, they, English-likc, be-
gan to push about them, and one Of their first
discoveries was a river where none was marked
upon any chart, and upon this they steamed
300 miles without finding the least obstruction.
Having now passed round this continent, let Us
look up in tire interior. For half a century the
English government have been expanding lives
and treasure IN a partial exploration. They
have found that this whole tract Of country is
one OF amazing fertility and beauty, Astounding
IN gold and all sorts OF tropical vegetation.-
There are hundreds Of woods, invaluable for
dying and architectural purposes, not found in
other portions OF the world. THROUGH it for
thousands OF miles sweeps a river, from three
to SIX miles broad, with clear water, and Of IN
surpassed depth, tfoWing on at a rate Of two or
three miles an hour without rock, shoal, Or
or snag, to interrupt its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
rivers pour into this tributary waters of such
volumes as must have required hundreds of
miles to be collected, yet they seem scarcely
to enlarge it, This river pours its waters into
the Atlantic, through the most magnificent del
ia IN the world, consisting perhaps, Of a hun
dred mouths, extending perhaps 500 miles along
the coast, and mostly broad, deep and navaga-
BILE Tor steamboats,. Upon this river are seat
tered cities, some of which are supposed to con-
tain a million of inhabitants, and the whole
country teens with a dense population.
Farin the interior, in the very heart of the
continent, is anationi in an advanced state of
civilization. The grandeur and beauty of por-
tons OF the country through which the Niger
makes its sweeping circuit, are indescribable.-
IN many placesits banks rise boldly thousand
feet, thickly covered with the richest vegetation
OF tropical climes. But all this vast and ST.
bllme country-this scope of rich fertility and
romantic beauty, is apparently shut out forever
from the world. 1t is the negro's sole possess
sion. He need not fear the incursions of the
white man there, for over this whole lovely
country moves one dread malady, and to the
white man it is the "yalley of the shadow of
death" In expedition after expedition, sent out
from the English ports, on the Island of As |
%censlon, not one man in ten has returned alive.
all have fallen victims to this seemingly beauti-
tul country. 1t seems impossible for an Eng
ilshman to breathe that air. So dreadful is it
SO small the chance Of life, that criminals in
England have been offered pardon on condition
OF volunteering in this service, more terrible
than that of gathering the poison from the IA
Tied Upas. This country, tempting as i. is. can
only be penetrated l. at the risk of life; and it is
melancholy to think that those who have given
us even the meagre information that we have, do
so at the sacrifice of their lives.-iSimmond's
Colonial Magazine.

DIAMOND DUsT.-Genius, like the sun upor
the dial, gives to the human heart both it's sha
dow and its light. i.
Pride may sometimes be a useful springboard
to the aspiring soul, butt it is much more fire..
quently a destructive stumblingblock.
Men Of the world hold that it is imrossib1e
to do a disinterested action, except from an in
terested motive; for the sake of admiration. if
from no grosser, more tangible gain. Doubtless
they are also convinced, that when the sun is
showering there to be stared at.
Our safety as e~ulogists lies among our COM
mendations of the dead.
Great men lose somewhat Of their great
ress by being near us; ordinary men gain much.
A letter timely written is a rivet to the chgiu
Of affection; and a letter untimely DELAYED is as
rust to the solder.
AS gold which he cannot spend will make no
man rich, so knowledge which he cannot apply
will make no man wise.
The goodly outside is excellent, when not
falsely assumed; but the worst natural face
that natures journeymen eyer left unfinished
is better than the bravest mask.
Truth is the object of philosophy.
A weak mind sinks under prosperity as we'll
as under adversely. A strong and deep mind
has two highest tides-when the moon is at the
full, and when there is no moon.
Ihe only way to be permanently safe is to
be habitually honest.
Half of a fact is a whole falsehood.
Action is life and health; repose is death and
corruption.
Each Of us bears within himself a world un-
known to his fellow-beings, and each may relate
of himself a history resembling that of every
one, yet like that of no one.
Where the world rebuketh, there look thou
for the excellent.
Nothing but may be better, and every better
might be best.
Knowledge is the parent of Dominion.
Amountain is made up of atoms, and friend
ship of little matters, and, if the atoms hold
not together, the mountain is crumbled into
dust.
Half the noblest passages in poetry are
truisms; but these truisms are the great truths
of humanity; and he is the true poet who draws
them from their fountains in elemental purity
and gives us to drink.

HAVE CoURAGE.-Have the courage to con-
fess ignorance wherever or in regard to what
ever subject you are really Informed.
Heve the courage to treat difficulties as you
would noxious weeds-attack them as soon as
seen. Nothing grows as fast,
Have the courage to meet a creditor. You
must be a gamer by the interview, even if you
learn the worst-we are our own deceivers.
Have the courage to W that you are poor,
and if you can, to laugh at your poverty, by so
doing you disarm your enemies and deceive
nobody,
