The HrESA.-" Cowardly as a hyena," is
an Arab proverb. Perhaps, the main cause of
the universal hatred which this odious beast
inspires, arises from its habit of violating
graves. Whether resurrection-men or hyenss
are concerned, the feeling is the same in the
popular mind. What else can we do but exc
crate the insulters and devourers Of what re-
mains of those we have loved most dearly on
earth Now, the hyena, who fears to attack
any other creature than q solitary, wretched,
ailing, half starved dog, not daring to make
an onslaught on flock of sheep, the vile
hyena disinters the dead and eats their very
bones. Is il likely that such a beast should
meet with anything but detestation? As q
precautionary measure, which is not always
efectual the Arabs bury their dead very deep.
In some districts, they even build two vaults
for the reception Of the body, putting their
precious deposit in the lower one. Conse-
quently, the skin Of 60 bastard an animal is
looked upon as vslueless. In the majority of
tents it would be refused admittance, for fear
it should bring bad luck with it.

DoN'r BE DIscoURAGED.-Itisa is fine remark
Of Fenelon, "Bear with yourself in correcting
faults as you would with others" We can
not do all at once. But by constantj pruni ng
away of little faults, and cultivating humble
virtues, we shall grow towards perfection.
This simple rule-not to be discouraged at
slow progress, but to perseyere, overcoming
evil habits one by one, such as sloth, negli-
gence, or bad temper; and adding one excel
lence after another-to faith, virtue; and to
virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, tenn
-perance; and to temperance, patience; and to
patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness, charity
will conduct the s.owest Christian at last TO
high religious attainmens.
