ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

The following facts possess some striking
points of interest. We may premise that
the story is strictly true, the names only for
obvious reasons, being suppressed.
In the year 1927 young woman of de-
cent parentage, engaged in the service of
clergyman's family in the west country, be-
came acquainted with, and formed an at
tachment to, a young man in the neigl'bor-
hood. A child, the result of this attachment
was ultimately from the inability of either
of the parents to support it, consigned to
the care Of the grandmother on The fathers
side. The mother had frequent opportuni-
ties of seeing and hearing of her boy while
she remained in that Quarter Of the country,
but some timeaatterwards she left the neigh
borbo>d and removed to distance. After
wards the ircther left the same district also,
and removed to Ireland, taking the boy
along with him. Scme years passed away,
and, being mutually ignorant Ct each other
place of residence, the mother, afteT using
means to discover whittier her child hGA
been removed, gave up all hope of obtaining
the much desired intelligence. She con-

" IN which she served, and in a few years
after an offer of marriage was made to her
by q respectable tradesman, which, after
cantidy relating to him the circumstances
of her previous life, he was, by reason of
his attachment to her, induced to repeat, and
she gratefully accepted the offer. In the
prosecution Of his business he soon after re-
moved to Glasgow, where he commenced
business as an engineer. The father OF the
boy, in the meantime, had also married, <
bv him the youth, when he grew up, was
sent to and completed his apprenticeship
with an engineer in Ireland. subsequently
the lad went to Glasgow in search OF and
obtained employment, by singular coinci-
dence, and without a knowledge on either
s,de of the relationship, from the engineer
who, as we have stated, had married the
bows mothers s. from the fact of her not hay
inS seen him since he was an infant she never
suspected and indeed could not possibly
have recognized him,as her long-lost boy.
1t appears that brother of the lads Ia

parcels Sc, in the city, and to him, among
others, the father had sometimes, IN his let,

only an English scholar, who will give me
his careful and impartial attention. All |

not be so recondite, as it might be expected
to be. All that is needed, for due aPpre-
clatioii Of the arguments is correct un-
derstandlng of scme half dozen Hebrew
words, and about as many Of Creek. In-s,
deed the argument hinges chiefly. on; the
meaning of one Greek, and three Hebrew
words. By giving these words in our let
tiers, Instead of the characters of the origin
al languages and by referring for their u
sage to the English Bible; the whole inyes-
tigatioh may be made perfectly ineligible
to d person 0f merely tomhoh education.
| will therefore attempt, if your patience
will bear with me, to search to its founda-

of slavery as depending ON the masters night
of property in the slave. And | am conf
dent that, if am successful in my effort TO
make fair presentation of the subject, the
Bible will be found to contain stronger
argument in defence of slavery, than even
most Southern people have been accustsm,

HINTS TO FARMERS BoYs.-There Is
one thing that would like to impress upon
the minds of the farmers of this country
To all YOU that have boys that can write,
get each one memorandum book; few
Sheets of paper will do, if nothing better
can be had and in that have each one
keep an account of every days work done
in the year, the kind of work employed in,
and the day Of the month and date of the
wear. IF in sowing, mention the kind OF
grain, and the amount of seed per acre, the
time of planting and the time of reaping.-
In fact, / should have them note all the
passing events of the farm; and as they
grow older they will find more of import
ance to. note. Six cents will buy book
that will last one year, to commence with.
NY word for it, the farmers will adopt this
course, their sons will be much better farmers
than their fathers. 1t may seem dry bus;
ness to commence with the first Of JanuarT
but as the spring opens, the green grass az
and the tasks win Be nfa6rer ere ~ a.g pa ihsa
day until the close of the year. Who woG-a
not give twice what the paper and ink ccSt,
could they but obtain a memorandum beos
written BY grandfather hundred yes
ago {? Try it, farmers, young and old keep
a Journal of every day and you will becc9'e
race of scientific book-farmers, not 10 90
imposed upon.4A Farmer.

A SAD CoNTRAsT.-A painter once met
with beautiful child. So enraptured was
he with its countenance and expression of
loveliness that he resolved to paint it. He
did SO and hung his favorite picture in his
study. He made it his guardian angel. In
sorrow and passion he sought relief and
tranquility in gazing upon that charming
countenance. He purposed, if he ever saw
its counterpart to paint that also. But years
passed away before he found face so in
fernally ugly as to satisfy his idea of per.
feet contrast to his darling picture. 1t was
that of a wretch, lying ill despair, upon the
floor of his cell. He painted that terrible
countenance. But what must have been his
emotions when he learned that it was the
very same person he had painted before
the last that of the reckless, ruined youth.
The best things perverted become the
worst.
The sweet juices changed, produce the
sharpest acids. The little angel likeness
has been metamorphosed into the reality of
a fend.

40 persons are over 100 years of age, 60
are over go years, and 314 are over 80

INTERIOR OF AFRIcA.-The WestminsteI7
Review contains an interesting article rela,
ting to Africa, from one who claims to have
lived for several years on the westeri
coast, whence he made excursions into the
country. He says state of civilization ex
lists among some of the Tribes, such as ha
not been Suspected hitherto by those who
have Judged only from such accounts as
have beeh given of the tribes with which
travellers have come in contact. They cam
not be regarded as savages, having organ
lied townships, fixed babitatous, with reg
ular defences about their cities, engaging i
agric iulture, and the manufactured cottcn
cloths for clothing, which they ornament
with handsome dyes of native production,
and exhibit handicraft in their conversion
of iron and precious metals INTO articles OF
use and ornament. The merchants en-
tlHst their goods to the care Of native ira
ders, in various parts of the country, stored
in huts, without protection, yet preserved
in entire safety, acts of robbery being very
rare. Native traders are held in high re-
spect, especially if wealthy :; and in SENS
cases whole tribes engage in the business q
itinerant traders, no impeachment being Of
,fefed to them even among nations whess
state of war exists.

of distressing drought, found vase of wa
ter under little shed by the roadside, for
the refreshment of the weary traveller
A man in the neighborhood was in the habit
of bringing the water from considerable
distance, and filling the vase every morn

could have no motive to do this, but a
kind regard to the comfort of weary travel
ers for he was never there to receive their
thanks, much less their money. This was

shops to search for arms orfugitives drag
