An English paper gives the following nc
count OF the live freight which was brought
py Tue steamer Ripon from Alexandria to
Southampton
The Rlpon brought home a collection of
oiTdi and beasts from Ethiopia, AbyssiDia.
and other paris oi the world. There were a

pair oil pelicans, three eagles, gazele, three
lynches, two mask cats, Sahara ibex, Ia
goat with magnificent horns,) number Of
kangaroo rats little larger than English
nice, OF very light brown color, and re-
markable Tor the length OF their hind as COM
pared with their fore legs; several Cashmere
goats, Il Wild cat larger than domestic one
marked like lerard, with beautiful head
There was also a number Of venomous SER
pents and gigantic lizards several Of the
cobra capellas were as big round as a mans
wrist. The beasts, birds, and reptiles we're
attended 10 by several grim and picturesque
looking Arabs and Abyssinans, many Of ihe
former wuh large grizzly boards. Among
them were two African serpent charmers;
one OF the latter was lad, strange litIl.
slIryeled-face fellow, who caused much
amusement by his comic manners, his gro-
tesque dress, aud daring handling Of the
beasts and reptiles. la each of his ears were
two brass bed curtain rings, his trowsers did
not reach below his knees, and he wore n
pair OF large Wellington boots His legs
and boots appeared like two mahogany posts

even suffered them 10 bite him without ex-

singular sight TO see one OF these serpents ir-

his tail, while the body was forming grace,
tul curves. and ii was preparing 10 spring
upon the hoy with its mouth open and its
taugs quivering.

and raw. A number of cows and goats
were kept on board the Ripon to supply the
milk.

1t is better for any one TO have lsrge
heart than large fist. 1t would be well for
boys 10 think Of this and to practice npon it
rather than indulge in bullying. and engaging
in personal conflicts and physical struggles.
A boy may think he gains reputation as a
fighter, and perhaps he does, but he loses
real character, which is far more precious
Than reputation. Whatever wrongs AMI
abuses man imposes upon another are real
injuries to his own interior moral quality.
We allude to these principles in the laws OF
mans being, because We Witnessed recently
pugilistc contest between two boys, who
are just reaching forward 10 manheod, and
we wish them and all others to know aud
heed those laws and influences which make
or mar human happiness and excellenee.--

love them, yes. love them
For their own intrinsic worth;
The one when cares oppress me,
And sadness fills my heart,
In meckness comes to bless me
With her soul-endearing art.
Her songs, ike distan, vespers,
Inspire my heart with joy,
Where, like guardian angel,
She soothes her little boy
Unto his evening slumbcr
In music soft and deep.
And, as spirit watcheth
His calm and peaceful! sleep
The o:her--Oh . what beauty
Dwells in her playful eyes.
More like the gems which sparkle
At evening in the skies:
And then her arIless mimicry
Of all our household WAYS
She sings whene'er her mother sings.
And prays whene'er she rrays.
Such jewels God hath given
To share my humble cot,
As messengers from heaven.
To bless my weary lot;
And when the twilight fadeth
And darkness dims the west,
We ask our gracious Father
To guide us while we rest.

A Toast for the Fourth of July.
God bless the good old Thirteen States
God bless the young ones too;
Who cares for musty Birthday dates
God bles. them Old and New.
The old ones first our freedom gained,
In bloody fight Of yorc;
The young ones have their rights maintained
As the old ones did before.
Or South or North, or East or West,
Twin sisters all they be:
One mother nursed them at the breast,
And that was Liberty.
And may the wretch whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread.
Be scorn'd while in this world alive,
And scorn'd when he is dead
Now Gil the bowl with Natures wine,
Let's drink, "God save the King
The only King by right divine,
The Sovereign People King.
For they're the only King own.
All Others despise.
The King that towers above the throne,
The King that never dies.
o! may that sceptre wide extend,
Der every land and sea,
Without beginning, without end,
And conquer to set free.
Till Freedoms banner floats alone,
A beacon in the sky.
And man no other Lord shall own,
But Him who rules on high. OLp '16.
