Civil War.

Sac g
. The New York Evening Post has an elaborate
article, predicting servile and civil war, ON
broader field than that of Kansas-if the Border
Ruffians are to have their way the meanwhile-
In that contingency, the Post thinks the South
will be perfectly defenceless, and gloats over the
unspeakable horrors which it imagines would come
upon them. 1t also foreshadows not only seryile
war; but the efforts of the emancipated to aid their
brethren.
There is no doubt, In our minds, that if the Free
Sellers are defeated In their attempts to conquer
Kansas by an armed emigration, they will endea
yor to gnt their vengeance by stirring up Just
such war as the Post has painted with such com
placency. This is their scheme. 1t will not sue
coed. The South will be forewarned by these
raenaces, 1t viii prepare itself for the evil day
And when that day comes, the Post will then dis
cover, to its establishment, that Southern slavery
will be a source of strength, instead of weakness
In war, and that the Southern States cannot only
defend themselves, but avenge themselves upon
their enemies. .s-. E--.

The Man who loved Fun.

The story is familiar of man who took
passage in fiat boat from Concinnati bound
to New Orleans. He passed many dreary
listless days on his way down the Ohio and
Mississippi, and seemed to be desponding
for the want of exercise. Specifically he
was quiet and inoffensive, paroically, he was
perfectly good natured- and kindly disposed.
In course of time the craft upon which
he was passenger put into Napoleon, in the
State of Arkansas, for groceries. At the
moment, there was general fight extend
ing "all along the front of the town" which
at that time consisted of single house.
The unhappy passenger, after fighting
and jerking his feet up and down, as if he
were walking on red hot bricks, turned up
to ''used up spectator and observed:
''Stranger, is this free fight"
The reply was prompt and to the point.
alt is; and if you wish TO go in, don't
stand on ceremony"
The wayfarer .'did 90 in" and in less
time h IN we can relate the circumstances, he
was literally 'chawed up" Grouping his
way down to the flat, his hair gone, his
eyes closed, his lips swollen, and bis face
generally 'msppcd out" he sat himself
down upon ehickencoop, and soliiquized

more striking example of a ahalf horse, half

was cut up by some twenty dirk knife

Sianlese Fruits.

A correspondent of the Pennsylvania In
gasrer, writing from on board the United
States steamer San Jacinto, at Hong Kong,
thus describes the principal fruits he met
with during the stay of the vessel in the
Siamese waters:
"Siam produces the finest fruits of the
East in proflsion. The pine apple, the
mangostein, the banana, the mango, the
lichse, the cocoa-nut, the dhurien, the ram
botan, and several Others whose names |
have forgotten abound in great plenty, and
are of the finest quality. The mangostein
is the most delicious; its refined delicacy
of flavor is unsurpassed. For beauty of
appearance, when opened, it is unrivalled.
An outer shell encloses five or seven pits
of snow white color, which form beau
tiful contrast with the rich red of the shell.
1t may be emphatically styled the ladies'
fruit. The dhurian is of large size and dis
gusting odor, that of sulphuretted hydro
gen. 1t is of rich creamy consistence,
but the odor is so repulsive that only long
perseverance can make one appreciate and
like it, and when once the evasion is con-
quered the desire for it becomes strong
passion. The Maley will undergo any pri-
vation, part with house, wife, children, and
all that man holds most dear, to crafty his
appetite for this fruit. The fruit is not
good until the tree producing it is about
twenty years old; and although they
might be increased in number bv plant
ing, vet they are 10th to take the trouble
to do it. Each tree produces but five or
six dhuriens. No man in the East plants
acorns that oaks may grow for postelity.'

FRANCE ABOUT TO HELP HERSELF TO
SLICE OF TERRIToRY.-According to
the latest adyices from Paris, there is
prospect of an additional slice of Algeria
coming under the dominion of France
The following is an extract from Paris
letter:
'.Marshal Random has left Algiers to as
sume the command of the expedition des-
tined TO operate against the Kabyles. In
Algiers the prevailing sentiment now is
that the Kabylia must be subdued at once
and forever. with the exception of the ac-
tual preeipices,' say an occasional correspon-
dent of the Times, writing from Algiers,
this Kabylia is all rich, cultivated land,
covered with olive trees and corn fields
Even the precipices are convertible, for the
French believe rich mineral crops may be
obtained from them. A little nation of
100000 souls possess some millions of acres
of the very best land in all Africa, watered
by three rivers, and teeming with rich har--
vests. This little nation comes within two
score leagues of Algicrs, and cuts off the
province of Algiers from that of Constan-
tine, stepping French engineers from taking
their levels for the railway between Algiers
and Philippeville, driving people who wish
TO travel by land to go South into the Saba
ra in order to get to the province of Con-
stantine.' Can anything be more inpu-
dent or absurd? More seriously speaking,
and with India in our memory, is it in the
course of human events that the French
should have the power to subdue this coun-
try, and should resist the temptations?
The ineabitants, who are ofthe Berber race,
gave the Romans no little trouble, and they
are still an enemy to be feared; but it is
not expected that they will offer any pro-
tracted resistance to the French forces.
From the Moniteur Aigerieu we learn that
the expeditiouary force has already obtain
ed some advantages over the Kabyles. and
that several sheiks have sent in their sub
mission"

Random Gems.

Fortune sometimes is heaped up like the
snow, and like the snow melts and thaws to
nothing again. m
A pleasant wife is rainbow in the sky,
when her husbands mind is tossed with
storms and tempests.
The pride of position in society causes
more anxiety, more heart aches, and more
severe toll, than the necessaries of life.
We should be cautions how we indulge
in the feeling of virtuous Indignation. 1t
is the handsome brother of anger and ha-
tired.
1t was a proyerb among the Greeks,
that haterer that lifts you up to the
clouds, has the same motive as the eagle
when he raises the tortoise in the air-he
wishes to gain something by your fall.
1t is impossible to love one in whose
truthfulness We cannot eon6de; or to slight
whose words, and purposes, and actions
are without assimilation"
One of the strongest rebukes upon the
meanness of human nature ever conceived
was in the picture of the rich man refus-
ing his poor neighbor the crumbs, while the
dog took pity upon him, and licked his
sores.
Spirit is a very fashionable word; to act
with spirit, to speak with spirit, means on
ly to act rashly and to act indisereetly.-i
An able man shows his spirit by gentle
words and resolute actions; he is neither
hot nor timid.
Reputation may be the reward of medi-
ocrity, and fame, of talent that pander to
popular passions; but immortal renown is
the endless chant of generations, singing
the praise of God-like men, who have lifted
their race toward heaven.

The Little Fejee Girls.

One morning, while sitting at breakfast,
says Mrs. Coils, of Fejee, in Africa, we
hearda great clatter of children's voices
outside the house. On my going to learn
the cause, found newly-arrived party of
seven little girls, Of the ages, perhaps, of
between five and seven years, who had walk
ed distance of four miles from one of the
country towns, each bearing her burden of
bread-fruit to buy "First Reading Book"
soon brought the seven books; and, when
getting the bread-frmt counted, one merry
little girl set five large ones before me.
-Four was The price; so these I took, and
gave her back the other The last who
came forward was little, timid girl, who
had only brought three l,read-fuits, and,
indeed, they looked as much as she could
carry; but the book could not be bought
with these; they were to be sold for four.
The girl who had one overstepped up again
as quickly as before, and gave it to the lit
tie child who was in need This settled
the business, and off they went in high
glee. 'j-B ~ i-.sa 1
Now, the secret of their wish to obtain
these books was this: those children who
live far from the mission station and cam
not attend school every day, form schools
in their own towns, under the care of ma
tive Teachers. A SCI It number of these,
when they are able : head well, come to us,
one day in week, 20 be further taught.
The above-named little girls were not con-
tent with the teaching they got in their
own schools but wished to have books to
read at home, that they might be the soon
er ready to come to me--to use their own
words---to get wise. May not little Eng
lish chirdren learn lesson from the con-
duct of these Fejee girls? s i' ien yem
