MISCE LII A n Y.
Six Years Among CannibaIs.

l AM physician to hospital IN a large
seaport town. My curiosity was aroused
lately by the face of man, which, as it
lay upon the pillow Of a hospital bed look
ed singularly savage. 1t was marked by a
broad blue line extending from the lower
level of his nose to an inch below the lips,
and from the back of one whlsker to the
back of the other. Evidently such tat
too-mark was not one with which any gen.
teel man would have been willingly disfg-
ured. On the patients recovery | put
some questions to him, and obtained the
substance Of the following account. For
several seasons believe the tale to be a
true one. 1t was not volunteered the
man appeared to be ashamed of his own
story, and required steady cross-exami-
nation before he would yield up half of
what he had to say. The cross-question-
ing produced no inconsistent statements !;
no published accounts contradict anything
that he states and he mentions many facts
known iii this country through books which
it is net likely that he ever read.
David or Daniel Dash, native of the State
of Virginia, embarked on board whaling
ship as common seaman, at the age Of
nineteen. His ship sailed round Cape
HON, and had been cruising about perhaps
for nineteen months when she was overta-
ken by storm near the Marquesas there
she was driven ashore in spite of all exer-
tons, and soon went to pieces. The crew
consisted Of thirty persons. The captain
and twenty-four men took TO the boats, and
he believes escaped. He and four others
swan to land. AS soon as they arrived on
shore they were surrounded by the natives,
made prisoners, and carried few miles
into the interior. Being then placed in a
long hut, the prince or chief came to them
and arranged them IN line. Without any
delay his choice was offered to them
whether they would be tattooed or killed.
The chief easily made his meaning under
stood ; he produced first the usual tattooing
implements pointed to the marks on his
own person, and then to the bodies of his
prisoners. Presenting next knife, he
made feint of cutting off their heads.
After this dumb-show, the chief offered
to each man in succession dagger or bowl,
that is to say, knife or tattooing apparatus.
Would they be dead men or savages p
Dash's four companions being his seniors,
polled first at this election and they chose
the knife. He was, however, young to die,
and willing to DO anything to save his life
He chose to be tattooed. As soon as the
decision of the five men had been ascer-
tanned, the four who had disdaned to be
made comrades by the Cannibals We're kill
ed. They lost their heads. Without the
least delay, their bodies were cut up, and
preparations made for feast. The large
bones were cut out to make fsh-hooks,
spear-heads, tattoo instruments; particular
parts were cut off to be given as offerings
to the Gods, and the rest Of the flesh was
cooked. Holes were then dug in the earth,
and filed with dry wood, some large stones

The CELTIC IANGuAeE.-=It is a curious
coincidence, that, as the first mighty wave
of the hostile immigration, that burst upon
Europe before the time of our Saviour, con-
sisted Of tribes belonging to the great Gel.
tic race-the remains Of which, identified
by their original dialect, are still found IN
Brittany, in Wales, in the highlands of
Scotland, and especially in Ireland-.so by
far the greater portion Of the new and friend
iy immigration to the United States con-
siists of persons belonging to the same fervid,
imaginative and too often oppressed race:
1 have heard in the villages of Wales and
the highlands of Scotland, the gospel preach
ed in substantially the same language in
which Brennus uttered his naughty sum-
mons to Rome, and IN which the mystic
songs of the Druids were chanted in the
depths of the primeval forests of France
and England in the time of julius Cesar.
1t is still spoken by thousands Of Scotch,
Welsh and Irish immigrants, in all parts OF
the United States.-Edward EvereA.

A Choice Of Ev1ls.--Two young Off
GERS were travelling in the far West, when
they stopped to take supper at small ROAD
side tavern, kept by very rough Yankee
woman. The landlady, in calico sun.

the table to pour out. She inquired OF he
guests "if they chose long sweetening or
Short sweetening In their coffee" Inc mrs,
officer, supposing that "long sweeteni,ng

It accordingly. Whut was his dismay when
he saw their hostess dip her finger deep
down into an eafthen jar of honey that stood 3
near her, and then stir it (the finger round

preferred "short sweetening." Upon whlch
the woman picked up large lump OF ma.

The Old Woman.

Gray-haired and very old was she,
With many wrinkle where
The rose and lily once had bloomed
When lite's young morn was there;
And often from her dim old eyes
Methought there fell tear
Upon her knitting work that told
Of fmemories fond and dear.
And oft her bosom heavsd sigh,
As from the open door
She watched the little ones at play,
AS she had played of yore.
She knew that cankering cares would come
To spoil the castles fair
Their little hearts were building high,
For they were built in air.
She had been young; and children dear,
She called her own, had crept
Behind her chair to ''hide and seek,"-
No wonder that she wept;
For they were dead, and these brought back
The memory of their tone,
And drew those tears to bathe the flowers
In memory's garden sown.

Common Sense.

She came among the glittering crowd
A maiden fair, without pretence,
And when they asked her humble name,
She whispered mildly, "Common Sense"
Her modest garb drew every eye,
Her ample cloak, her shoes of leather;
And, when they sneered. she simply said,
81 dress according to the weather"
They argued long and reasoned loud, ,.
In dubious Hindoo phrase mysterious,
While she. poor child, could not divine
Why girls so young should be so serious
They knew the length of Plato's beard.
And how the scholars wrote in Saturn;
She studied authors not so deep,
And took the Bible for her pattern.
And so she said, excuse me, friends,
fiud all have their proper places,
And Common Sense should stay at home
With cheerful hearts and smiling faces"

A Hymn to the Night.

Oh night most beautiful most rare!
Thou giv'st the heavens their holiest hue
And through the azure fields of air
Briug'st down the gentle dew
Most glorious occupant of heaven.
And fairest of the earth and sea!
The wonders of the sky are given,
Imperial Night to thee
For thou, with breathless lips apart,
Did'st stand in that dim age afar,
And hold upon thy trembling heart
Messiah's herald star.
In Olivet thou heard'st him pray,
And wept thy dews in suffer light,
And kissed his sacred tears away!
Thrice blessed, loving Night!
And thou did'st overweight with sleep
The watchers at the sepulchre,
And heard'st the asking Mary weep,
Till Jesus answered her.
For this love thy hallowed reigni
For more than this, thrice blest thou art!
Thou gain'st the unbeliever's brain
BY entering at his heart!
Oh Night! most regal most divine
Thou lift'st the spirit from the dust
Gods best and brightest gifts are thine,
All thine, and it is just

much to his astonishment, insisted that that
was the day he had set. He seemed con-
