TIE COSaAcKs.

Both the name and origin of this singular
people are involved in uncertainty. They
appear to be descended from the Russi-
ans, intermixed with Tartars, Calmucks,
and Gypsiss, Russian forms the ground
work of their language in military mat
ters it is corrupted with Turkish, and in
legal affairs with Polish words. They
inhabit those parts of the Russian Empire
which border on the northern dominions
Of Turkey, Poland and Tartary, as we'll
as the Northern parts of Siberia.
AS united people. the Cassacks seem
to have sprung up in Southern Russia, out
of the remains of that dominion. There,
amalgamating with the natives and fugi-
tives from all parts, they gradually en-
tended their dominion, building towns
and villages, and uaging war against
Turks and Tartars.
Towards the commencement of the 10th
century, kind of military republic, gov
erned 6y elective chiefs, was established
among these rude tribes by Russian.
They began to take the name of Cossacks
in the year 1916, when they began to act
a conspicuous part in Polish affairs.
In 1875, Yermak, a CosSack of great
fame, established q settlement in the south
OF Siberia-hense arose the nation of ST.
berian Cossacks. They have always been
a military people, and have been under
the protection of different powers-the
Russians, the Poles and the Tartars.-
They were finally banishsd and scattered,
and have since gathered themselves to-
gether, and their Russian masters allow

A Truthful ALLEGoRY.-A traveller
was pursued by aunicorn. In his alright
he fell, and as a fallen man, caught at
whatever was in his way: he caught the
branches of tree. He looked before
himself and saw fearful precipice. He
looked back and saw the unicorn ready to
destroy him. He looked again before and
saw hideous dragon, with jaws gaping
to receive him. He looked to the roots
of the tree and saw two rats, one white
and the other black, gnawing alternately
at them. He looked among the branches
of the tree and saw it filed with poisonous
asps, ready to sting him; but from their
lips dropped honey. Regardless of sur
rounding danger he caught the honey,
ate it and persisted.
Oh, reader oh, man see here myself
The tree is life; the unicorn death the
precipice eternity the dragon, thy des-
troyer; the rats, day and night number
ing the hours of thy stay on earth the
asps, thy own bad passions; the honey,
pleasure, of which thou partaketh to thy
eternal ruin.

DON'T be Discouraged.

-nnn't- he discouraged. if. in the outlet
of life, things do not go on smoothly. 1t
seldom happens that the hopes we cherish
of the future are realized. The path of
life, in the prospects, appears smooth and
level enough, but when we come to travel

rough enough. The journey is labori-
Gus one and whether poor or wealthy,
high or low, we shall find our disappoint-
ment, if we have built ON any other cal
culation. 10 endure cheerfully what
must be, and elbow our way as easily as
we can hoping for little, striving for much,
is perhaps the true plan; but don't be
discouraged if occasionally you slip by the
way, and your nsighborS tread over you

lure or two dishcarten you, accidents will
happen; miHcalculations will some times
be made; things will often turn out diff

may be sufferers. 1t is worth while to
remember that fortune is like the skies in
April, sometimes clear and favorable; and
as it would be folly to despair of again
seeing the sun, because the day is stormy,
so it is equally unwise to sink into des-
pondeney when fortune froMns, since the
common course of things, she may surely
be expected to smile again. But again
Don't be discouraged, if you are decei-

happens that men wear borrowed clothes
and sometimes those who have long stood
fair before the world, are very rotten at
the core. From sources such as these
you may be unexpectedly deceived; and
you will naturally feel sore under such
receptions, but to those you must become
used. If you feel them as most people
do, they will loose their novelty before
you grow grey, and you will learn to trust
men cautiously, and examine thsir char
acters closely, before you allow them great
opportunities to injure you. But, once

READY observation-disclosures Willard
(called "Barty," for short, was a queer
customer, once very we'll known in the
northern part of Vermont, for his careless
vagabond habits, ready wit, and remark
able for extempore rhyming. Sitting one
day in village store, among a crowd of
idlers who gathered about him on his ar
rival, the merchant asked Barty "why he
always wore that shocking bad hat ?''-
Barty replied that it was simply because
he was unable to buy new one. Come,
said the merchant, "make me a good
rhyme on the old hat immediatelv-Titb-
out stopping to think, and I'll give YOU
the best castor in the store" Whsreupon
Barty threw his old tile on the floor, and
began
There lies my old hat
And pray what of that p
lis as good as the rest ofmy raimont!
If buy me better,
You'll make me your debtor
And send me to jail for the payment!
The new hat was adjudged, by the unan-
imous vote of the house, to belong to Bar
ty, who wore it off in great triumph, say
ing that it was but poor head that could
not take care of ITSELF
