the town, at the northern extremity OF
the ancient city, the grass ovorgrown

resting-placc of those who have died
without the pale Of the Mother Church. ,
Roses bloom here the winter long, and
the plume shaped trees, which are scat
tered here and there about it, preserve
their dark evergreen foliage throughout
the entire year. A silence warm, sunny
and delicious envelopes the whole spot
broken only by the drowsy hum of flies
and the fitful strains of Kolian music
which tho passing brcezcs wake in the
boughs Of the expresses.
The division of the cemetery in which
hcatS is buried is surrounded by deep
and broad excavation. perfectly impassa-

precautions have been taken to seclude

ANECDoTc OF CRocoDILE The In
dams told US, that a, San Fernando
scarcely a year passes without two OF
three grown-up persons, particularly wo-
men who fetched water from the river,
being drowned by those carnivorous rep.
tiles They related to us the history Of
Young girl of Uritucu who, by singu-
lar intrepidity and presence Of mind,
saved herself from the jaws of croco-
die When she felt herself seized. she
sought the eycs Of the animal. and plung-
ed her fingers into them with such VIC.
lencc, that the pain forced the crocodile
to let her go. after having bitten off the
lower part Of her left arm The girl,
notwithstanding the enormous quantity
of blood she lost, reached the shore,
swimming with the hand that still re.
manned to her. In those desert coun-
tries, where man is ever wrestling with
nature discourse daily turns on the best
means that may be employed to escape
from tiger, boa. or a crocodile every
one prepares himself in some sort for
the danger that may await him. Il
knew" saiG the young girl Of Uritucu
coolly, "that the cayman let's 60 his hold
if YOU push your fingers into his eyes. d"
Long after my return to Europe, l learn
cd that in the interior of Africa the ne.
grocs know and practice the same means
of defence. Who does not recollcct, with
lively interest, Isaac, tho guide OF the
unfortunate Mupgo Park, who was seiz-
ed twice by crocodile, and twice escap-
ed from the jaws Of the monster, having
succeeded in thrusting his fingers into
the creatures eyes while under water ?
The African Isaac and the young Amer
lean girl owed their safety to the same
presence Of mind, and the same combi-
nation of ideas. --Hum5ohlfs Personal

After hunting in company with boy

The next day, somewhat detected at
his loss, he went into the pulpit, and
took for his text the following passage
from Job :-"Oh. that l knew where

Ycstcrnight how long it seems
Met In the land of dreams,
One that loved me LONG ago
Better it had not been so.
No, we met not as of old -
was planting in the mould
OF his grave some flowers to be.
When he came and talked with me
White his forehead was, and fair,
With such crowns AS angels wear,
And his voicc-but | alone
Ever heard so sweet tone
All priced but yesterday
In the distance lcsscning lay,
Like some golden cloud afar,
Fallen and faded like Il star.
flushed the chamber is, he said,
flushed and dark where We must we'd
But our bridal home is bright
Wilt thou 60 with me tonight 7
Answering then, sadly said,
lam living, thou art dead
Darkness rests betwixt us twain,
Who shall make the pathway plain
All thou lowest not, he cried,
Else to thee had not died
Else all other hope would be
As n rain drop to the sea.
Further, DINNER, earth withdrew
Lower, softer, bent 'hc blue,
And like bubbles in the wine,
Dlcnt the whispers, Am thine.
Angels saw to their bowers,
Bearing home the shcaves of flowers,
And could hear their anthem swell
Reapins in the asphodcl.

Shaking in my face the dew
Underneath woodland tree,

And dripping from the caves,
see the little tiny drops
Cling glistenng to the leaves;
The little birds beat quick retreat
Adown the misty glen,
And raise their joyous notes aloud
The rcd-brcast and the wren
And over all the earth around
The fog lies thick and low,
And clings with whitening splcndor round
The mountains lofty brow.

Fall softly on the pave,
And joining in one little stream
Flow to the oceans wave.

That falls so sweet and low
Upon the rock, within the bower
Where Gods own beauties grow
