AFFAIRS OF Honor IN AFRICA.-The
following account of the way in which
they manage affairs of honor in Africa,
is from Capt. Canots book.
AT the appointed time. the duellists
appeared upon the field of honor, ac-
companied by friends who were to wit
ness their victory or sympathise in their
defeat Each stalwart savage leaped
into the arena, armed with cowhide
cat, whose sharp and triple thongs
were capable of inficting the harshest
blows. They stripped and tossed their
cowries in the air, to determine which of
the two should receive the first lashing.
The unfortunate loser Immediately took
his stlnd and received, with the frmness
of martyr, the allotted number of
blows Then came the turn of the
whipper, who with equal constancy, Of
fered his back to the scourge of the en-
ragged sufferer. Thus they alternated
until one give in, or until the by-stand.
crs decreed victory to him who bore the
punishment longest without wincing
The fayed backs of these "chivalrous
men of honor were ever after displayed
in token of bravery.

A LEAF OF MEMORY LasT.

An old mans memory is queer
place. Indeed it resembles an old fash
ioned garret, full of ielics and souvenirs
of the past the rubbish of to-day, but
the riches of yesterday.
In conversation yesterday with an old
man, who has passed a long and useful
life, and with whom now it is Indian
t'ashneri re were impressed with re-
haark he incidentally made. He had
sccn the opening of near seventy springs,
at first the winters came and went, but
by and by, unmelted snow fakes linger-
ed in his hair, and he saw them drift
over the graves Of one after another,
whose feet with his had brusht d the
the morning dcws together At last
they whitened over his old wife's res ing
place-over her who knew him when the
shadows FIJI to the westward and "the
day was before" them both-who never
thought him old, though all the world
called him so. Every body said when
she died, at is a terrible blow for the
old man." and few did all they could
to make himforget; but there was no
need of that, for, said he, ''they didn't
seem to know where the blow fell they
SO dcplored didn't think how
much l missed somebody to help HE re-

Those few words indeed contain a
world of meaning. He did miss the

Ba~ Here is spicy little piece which
applies as well to this region as to the
particular locality for which it was in
tended. 1t is from the Albany Knick-
erbocker.
Mr.. Gay, of the firm of Gay & Doem,
wants seventy five thousand dollars to
buy two-thirds of the Grand Flummax
railroad. Gays whole capital however,
consits of but fifty thousand dollars,
while no bank in the city, would dis
count his note for a shilling. This be-
ing the case what does Gay do j.? Why
he comes up to Albany, deposits fifty
thousand dollars worth Of state stocks.
and goes to New York and opens bank
for the development of the business of
this, that or the other ward The busi-
ness men of the ward look upon Gay as
q God-send-as an individual who has
brought an amount of capt., Il into their
district that will double the value OF their
property thrce times week. Green,
the grocer, makes Gays bank his place
of deposit. Mutton, the butcher, docs
The same. These are followed by other
business men, until Gay finds himself i j
possession of some eighty thousand dol.
lars, the whole deposited by gentlemen
who wish TO ''build up the usnd.''
This sum, added to the capital of the
bank, gives Gay all the funds he re-
quired TO purchase a controlling interest
in the Grand Flummax railroad. Gay
accordingly takes il into his head that
he will retire from business. He imme-
'i'atoly shuts up shop, and publishes
,a:d in the next days Herald, stating
'aat the ''Diddlingtc Bank has fallen
victim to Wall street conspiracy" The
siepositors are thunderstruck Old Bees
wax, the drygoods dealer, goes crazy,
several gentlemen blow their brains out,

is forgotten in the still greater rascali-

s@- There is an applicability to the
times in the following which must render
it acceptable to all lovers of the humor-
Gus. 1t is one OF the sparkling knick-
knacks of L. &. Clarke.
A "benign cerulean,' enthusiastic for
the rights of the sex, remarks that wo-
mans rights and duties are becoming
every day more widely appreciated.
"The old fashioned scale must be read
justed, and woman, noble, elevating, sur
prising woman, ascend to the loftiest
emincnce and sit superior on the top
most branch of the social tree " The
ear Of a matter-of-fuct man catches the
last sini!ic, and he ventures to say, ''un-
common bad climbers, for the most part
is women Their clothes isn't adapted
to it. | minds once I see woman
climb pole after a leg of muttingl''
If looks conld have killed the malapro-
pos speaker, he would not have survived
the reception which this ridiculous re-
mark enc untered from every guest at
the table, He was himself struck with
the mournful silence which followed,
and added by way Of explanation
That was a thing as happinged on pole;
of course it would he VERY different on
a tree because of The branches At
length however, the theme woman is re-
newed by the former advocate. "Wo-
man has not yet received her full devcl-
ment. The time will come when her
influence will be universal; when soften
ed, subdued, ana elevated, the animal
now called man will be unknown. You

for higher destiny; :" "In course"

s'pose it had been my sister as married
my wife instead of me it's probable
there wouldn't been no great fambly-

VERY TOUCHING,

Here is touching description of q
moonlight scene. After whirling for
sometime in the ecstatic makes of de-

ped out unobserved, on TO the balcony,
to enjoy few of those moments of SOL
itude SO precious to lovers. It was
glorious night the air was cool and re-
freshing AsI gazcd on the beautiful
being at my side, thought never saw
her look so lovely the full moon cast
her bright rays over her whole person,
giving her almost an angelic appearance
and imparting to her flowing curls a still
more golden hue. One of her soft
hands rested in mine and ever and anon
she met my ardent gaze with ono Of pure
confding love. Suddenly change came
over hor soft features, her full, red lip
trembled as if with suppressed emotion,
tear-drop rested on her long, dropping
lashes, the muscles around her faultless
mouth became convulsed, she gasped
for breath-and snatched her hand from
the warm pressure of my own, she tnrn-
ed suddenly away, buried her face in her
fine cambria handkerchief, and sneezedl

PARABLE FROM THE PERSIAN

A man, taking refuge from a raging
elephant, descended into a we'll, and
hung with his hands by two branches
which crept over the mouth. He rested
his feet upon what seemed a projection
from the wall below him; it proved to
consist of the heads of a nest of serpents,
thrust out from their holes. At the
bottom lies dragon, whose open nav
waits the moment of his fall, for meal.
He looks up and beholds two rats one
black and the other white, gnawing off
the branches which sustained him from
falling. One other thing meets his gaze,
namely, hive Of bees, dripping honey
from its mouth. He instantly begins to
eat the honey. Its richness brings for
getfulness of the snakes on which he
stands, of the rats who diminish constant
ly the substance of the branches which
hold his weight, and Of the danger of be-
coming an mediate prey to the dragon
below him. His carelessness and decep-
tion end only with his life.
The well is the world, filed with perils
and miseries. The serpents are tho
various humors whose mixture sustains
bodily life, but which become mortal
poison when their equilibrium is broken.
The two rats, one black and the other
white. are day and night, whose success
ion finally wears out our life. The
dragon is the sure fate which awaits US
all. The honey is the pleasures whose
deceitful sweetness seduces us to turn
aside from the duties which we ought
to follow.

he lacked the means of being otherwise.
Drunk or sober, however, he never alto
gether forgot the proprieties of his pro
fession; he was always grave decorous
and gentlemanly he held fast the form
of sound words, and the weakness of the
flesh abated nothing of the rigor of his
stringent theology. He had been a fa-
vorite pupil Of thr learned and astute
Emmons, aud was to the last sturdy
defender Of the peculiar dogmas of his
