. CIVILIZATION IN ABYsINrA.--It is "a fact
worthgAof notice that the Kingof Abysina, a
country too often supposed To be Lying IN
darkness" has accomplished three grand move
ments in the progress OF human civilization,
which have been vainly attempted in any other
country in the world He has prohibited slave
ry, abolished poIygamy. Can it be possible
that Africa is ere long to resume the proud
position she once held in the civilized world

Improvement of Smyrua,

Mr.. EDIToR:-lt becomes the friends of this

OF the residents of this town, earnestly ,t,.,..

he considers that the Improvement is not only
for the GENERAL beGeft, of winch he parlakes TO
a greater or less extent, but that his propertv
and perhaps his business becomes of greatly
Increased value. There ought to be more pub

/ Of individuals, doubtless, are sufficiently re-.

with the public improvements that give char

Though all the Banks have gone to smash,
I'll tell you how to cut a dash ID.
Take walk down Broadway Street,
Just where Pearl and it doth meet,
And there you'll find the Barber Jack,
To shave you well he has the Knack
His razors are always in good prime,
And he does his work in excellent time.
His room is always in good trim,
And to fix your hair, it just takes him
His prices are low, for these hard times,
You can pay him one or two half dimes,
And then you'll get an excellent shave
And by the operation, you'll money save
For fifteen cents, he'll cut your hair,
And do itup so very fair;
His perfumes are fresh, and oils good,
So take our advice, If you would
Have your work done in excellent style,
And add Dit to old Jacks Pile.

In little precious stone, ."'
What splendor meets the eye
In a little lump Of sugar,
How much Of sweetness lies
So in little woman,
Love grows and multiplics.
You recollect the proverb SAYS,

A pepper-corn is very small,
But seasons every dinner,
More than all the condiments,
Although it's sprlnkled thinner;
But just SO little woman is.
If love will let you win her.
There's not a joy in all the world
You will not find within her.
And as within the little rose
You find the richest dyes,
And in little grain Of gold
Much price and value licsi
AS from q little balsam,
Much odor doth arise,

Than all the birds that sing;
And SO little woman,
Though very little thing,
Is sweeter than all other sweets,
Zen flowers that bloom in Spring
