A tipsy man went into Sunday school
and for few moments listened very at
,sn,ively to the questions propounded to
the scholars, but being anxious to show
his knowledge of 'scriptur' and doctrines,
he stood up, leaning on the front of the
pew with both hands. .Parson B,
said he, ask me some of them hard ques-
shuns.' Uncle John said the parson
with a solemn face and in drawing
tone, don't you know you are IN the
bonds of sin and the depths Of iniqulty g
.Yes'ir and in the gall Of bitterness too.

A Correspondent of The Lon ION Economist,
in treating of opening the Amazon, has the fol-
lowing observations:
"At present, we regret to a ID, the great..hind-
rance to the speedy development Of the nayiga-
ton of the Amazon are the pretensions Of the
United States. In South America the great
Northern Republic is regarded as an aggressive
power. Already its infue is predominant
in Ecuador and New Granada In Peru its
Minister had for while almost equal power.
Hitherto it is in Brazil only that no footing h as
been gained. Between Brazil and the United
States the difference OF tseir forms Of gayern-
ment raises species of aatagonIsm which rem
ders the approach Of North American preten-
| siois, claims and controversies political dan
ger for the only South American monarchy.
Therefore il is that Brazil instinctvcly resists
the introduction Of United States interest into
| he valley OF the Amazon, seeking rather to de-
velop It's great resources by native energy and
enterprise. An! in this policy Brazil does, III
/ truth, but support AMI work oat the cause Of
Sonth American Independence generally"

Noon day in Autumn

The azure hills with heat were glowing,
And bread and >potless Was the sky,
The fevcrcd rill had lost its downing
The wind had tainted TO sigh
And hot and fierce the sun came down
Whilst In the woodland shadows brown
All songless sat the robin bird.
And scarce sound Of life was heard,
The aspen leaf alone was stir'd-
whilst in the reedy. turbia pool,
O'ershadowd by the maF.c tree,
Whose waters dark are ever cool,
The heifcrsstocd with patient Knee.
The earth lay painting in her sleep
For fcrcc and heavy biazcd the sun.
The sturdy reapcrs one by oae
Had left the yellow harvest field;
And where the shaded spring did keep
Its dimpled bosom from the day,
There stretched at ease, their senses yield,
And happy doze the hours away.
