natives, but are found growing natu-
rally in the wood; and, in clearing
woodland for cultivation, every tree
is cut but the shea. The tree itsell
very much resembles the American
oak, and the fruit from the kernel OF
which, being first dried in the SUM-
the butter is prepared by boiling the
kernel in water, has somewhat the
appearance of a Spanish olive. The
kernel is enyeloped in a sweet pulp

the hest butter ever made from cows

ofthis commodity seems to be among
the first objects Of African industry
and it constitutes main article'o

rusty headIess nail sticking in the
temple Of it, which he drew out Sc
cretly and wrapped in the corner Of
bis handkerchief. He then demand
ed of the grave-digger whether he
knew whose skull that was. He said
it vas a mans who kept a brandy

quarts, was found dead in bis bed
next morning. "Had be a wife:?'-
Eyes "What character does she
bear?" "a very good one: only the
neighbors reflect on her because she
married the day after her husband
was buried" This was enough for
the doctor who,under the pretence Of
visiting bis parishioners, called on the
woman. He asked her several ques-
tions, and among others what sick
ness her husband died of. She Civ
ing him the same account he had be.
fore received, he suddenly opened
the handkerchief and cried, in an au-
thoritative voice-"W Woman, do yon
know this nail?'' She was struck
with horror at the unexpected de-
mand, instantly owned the fact, and
was brought to trial and executed
Truly might one say, with even more
point than Hamlet, that that skull

Censure not the Heart.

Oh, censure not the heart that loves,
However strange choice we see;
Each gentle spirit knows its fate,
Though hid from US the tie may be!
When mYtals meet, their spirits hold
Communion in the silent air:
And trust, and doubt. and love, and hate
invariably are wakened there!
Oh, let them freely love that can!
Our mortal lives will soon be Ger;
We cannot know what earthly bliss
Survives upon a heavenly shore!
Full many a fragile, tender joy
Was made for this poor world alone:
And whether found, or failed of. here,
In after-life will ne'er be known!

Take her, her earliest love was thine,
And still unchanging clings to thee,
Twining round thee like vine
Around its chosen forest tree.

She placed her young hopes blushing ther'
Take her, and when the sun of joy,
The visioned future gilds with light,

Thine be the hand to dry her tears,
And thine the voice to comfort still.

The Blazing Crate.

We used to have blazing crate,
And I would sit and sew,
And when the window pane would shake,
How would the baby crow;
But mother said the whistling. wind
Would make our hearts more dear,
And then 1 laid my needle down,
The roaring blast to hear.
We used to set the table out,
And joyous was the meal,
The vapory wreath from silver urn,
Would to the ceiling steal;
And while the ruddy fre-light danced,
We bathed us in its glow,
While every bosom warmed afresh,
And love did overflow.
We gather round the embers now,
Our silver urn is gone.
Our fathers face has rugged lines,
And mothers cheek is wan;
The polished walnut, piece by piece,
Has been exchanged for bread,
And the dear babe, who used to crow,
Has gone to Join the dead.
How stern reverses chill the heart!
We scarcely smile in woe,
And they who fight for daily bread,
Have lost Hopes ardent glow;
God be the friend of those who toll,
By adverse fate depressed,
Mid this cold earth some warmth be gam
By leaning on His breast.

These men, many of whom are nei-

Methcdists, Congregationalists, Lu-
therans, or what not--who are men
of no religion, who have no church,
who do not say their prayers, who
live God defying lives every day Of
their existence, are now seen with faces
as long as their dark lanterns, with the
whites of their eyes tSrned up in ho'
ly fear lest tie Bible should be shut
by the Pope. Laughter, applause.
! and derisive cheers, Men who were

religion, to take any part with Christ

Arm SPECULATION. New YORK,
. March 20-The news of the failures
in California produced no effect here
of any consequence. Private advi-
ces lead to the belief that all the
houses will resume payment WITHIN
a few weeks from the sailing OF the
steamer.
When the Northern Light was COM
ing up Monday night, she touched
the shore and communicated the
news; a few spectators got bold oil
it and operated largely in stocks yes

the steamer arrived but the decline
did not. and the boys lost some filty
thousand dollars, because stocks ad'

correspondence that they are Ger

The richest denomination, we see
by the census tables, is the Metho-
dist. which is set down at Sl4 $780,

which is estimated at $l4,369.S59.
The Episcopal, which in number OF
churches stands fifth, ranks third Tor
its church property. being estimated
at SlI.26l.O7O. The fourth is the
Baptist, sl0,93l,S32; the fifth is
the Roman Catholic, SS,973,03S;
and the sixth, the Congregational,
$6,973,962.
1t is said that up to the present
time. the art of printing has not pen
etrated into any part of the Moorlsh b
Empire; every thing is written with
the hand; and not only in all the
mosques, but in all the houses OF nj
most all the Moorish families who IN
habit the towns, there is preserved an
immense number of manuscripts
which date from the most brilliant
epochs Of Mussulman civilization.
