THE GREAT AFRICAN DEsERr.--Few

The GREAT AFRICAN DESERT. --Few
men have correct standard by which
TO measure the vast extent of the Afii-
can Desert. 1t stretches westward
down to the green waters Of the Allan
tic. 1t yields not to the gigantic floods
that the great ocean ceaselessl Y rolls
against the continent. Far into the
high sea the Sahara extends below the
restless waves, so that the depth of wa
ter is but trifing for miles, and ships
cannot approach the inhosptable shores
Fearful sand banks announce to the
weary mariner that he is near the land
Of mysterious Africa, and warn him TO
seek more kindly harbors. Eastward,
the dread waste spreads its white shroud
over the whole northern part of the
continent, Until at last it is lifted on
high by the pyramids of Egypt, and
torn by the mighty floods of the Nile.
In vain, year after year, does it roll its
colossal, dry waves over the sphinx
and temple in vain does it send its
tempest-tossed clouds even across the
fertile valley. The great god of the
Nile whom the Egyptians worshpped
and before whom the ignorant fcllah
still knecls in blind awe, interposcs his
power, and from the sacred mountains
beyond higher voice is heard $50
far shalt thou 60, and no farther :"
The length of the Sahara is thus
nearly six hundred and eighty ceogra-
phical miles, but its breath differs, es-
pecially toward the Red Sea; still it
covers with its dread and dismal ter
rcrs, a space much larger than two
thirds of all Europe.

ornament to the one and benefit 10 the other.
Hungarian by birth, he sought with kossuth to place
his country among the nations of earth. beyond the

practice of those precepts which are alike our glory
and our pride la his efforts to do. he has reaped
the reward of inc ectua resistance 10 oppressun,a
IA home and country know him no more" Apart,
however. from his claims upon consideration as
patriot. the testimonials OF character and capacity
which he brings entitIe him to public confidence TO
the exclusion of those who possess neither the one
or the other. As gentleman his character Is untar-
nished: as u physician. his skill unsurpassed; end
to thoss whose imprudence has left upon them the

The DYING AND THE DEAD. -~lIow
little do we think of the dying and
how little do we think of the dead
Our common brothers and sisters are
dyirg daily around us. Many of them
are poor and friendless, strangers in a
strange land, no father to lit them
from their feverish pillow, no mother
to whisper consolation, no sister to gent
ly press the burning forehead, no bro
ther to watch at night No they are
dying; and dying alone, without hope.
Is there no common brother and sister
hood Are we not all children of the
same parents? Is not eternity our
mutual destiny Can we not aid where
aid is needed or shall we live for
ourselves alone, die death ofremorse
Our friends are dead many of them
died long ago; their places are not fill
led at the table, their chairs are vacant.
We miss them at the freside, in the
parlor, ereryichere except in our minds,
our love for earth and earthly things
fill our minds, and leave no place for
them there. Oman, is this true com
mentary on thy nature' No, it is not
nature, but nature perrerted.

NATUREPRovIDEs FOR ALL.--SO va
rious are the appetites Of animals, that
there is scarcely Il plant which is not
chosen by some and left untouched by
others. The horse gives up the water
hemlock to the goat; the COW gives up
the long leaved water hemlock to the
sheep; the goat gives up the monk S
hood to the horse, &c, for that which
some animals grow fat upon, others alb
hor as poison. Hence no plant is abb
solutely poisonous, but only respective
ly. Thus the spurge, that is so noxi-
Gus to man, a most wholesome nourish-
mcnt to the caterpillar. That animals
may not destroy themselves for the
want of knowing this law, each of them
is guarded by such delicacy Of taste
and smell, that they can easily distn-
guish what es pcrnicious from what is
wholesome and when it happens that
different animals live upon the same
plants, still one kind leaves something
for the other, as the mouths Of all are
not equally adapted to lay hold of the
grass, by which means there is sullici-
ent food for all. To this may be re-
terrcd an economical experiment well
known to the Dutch, that when eight
cows have been in pasture, and can no
longer get nourishment, two horses
will do very well there for some days :;
when nothing is left for horses, four
sheep will live upon it.

Religion in Colleges.

The Society of Inquiry in the An

useful service, in ascertaining the reli-
glous condition of most of the Colleges
during the past year. Their circular
is the bearer of very encouraging in

The number of Institutions from

thlrty-two, containing q total of pupils
OF 4,o6o. vi this number, 1,737 are
professors OF religion. The College
having tho largest proportion of pious
students Is Amherst, nearly two-thirds
OF wnom belong to the church. The

is round IN the Cumberland University,

homes among our *ilds from principle,
or fled the despot's rule for conscience
sake--and when their number vas com
.paratiyely small could afford to be
generous in the terms ofnaturalization.
But now when the penitentiaries of the
old world are vomiting their excres-
cence upon our shores--when paupers
come here by hundreds of thousands to
become tools for politicians--when in
fidel hordes, and Jesuit cabals, and
anti Republican organizations are i'm
ported, installing liberty for licentious-
ness--eyery consideration of prudence
and love Of country unite to call for a
prolongation of the period of residence
before naturalization. And, if 5, Z or
Id years was deemed necessary before
naturalization, when foreign immigra-

to secure the purity of our elections
we should prolong the term ofresidence

with the very scum and offscouring of
European society, coming by hundreds
of thousands. And this is within the
provisions of the Constitution. The
American party seek to make no alter
alton in that sacred instrument, but
merely to exercise the rights guasan-
teed under it to the natiye-born Ameri-
can citizen. Let this fact, too, be re-

The will of Stephen Girard, found
ing this Institution, forbids any priest
or Clergyman to crosD its threshold. -
For this reason we entertained painful
forebodings that it would become q
great nursery of infdelity; but we re-

"The number Of orphans, during
the past year was about three hundred.
They assemble morning and evening of
each day for worship; and on Sunday
they listen to two lectures, which are
accompanied with appropriate devotion
al exercises. All religious instruction
is given by laymen. Nearly all the
Directors and Officers of the College
are members of Christian churches
and the orphans, on leaving the col
lege, usually attach themselves to the
churches of which their relatives or
friends are members"

TOUCHING INCIDENT.

A few days since lovely little
child of four summers was buried in
New Haven. On leaving the house
of its parents, the clergyman, Rev.
Mr.. Jay, plucked up by the roots a
beautiful little "forget-me-not," and
took with him to the grave.
After the little embryo of humanity
had been deposited in the grave, the
clergyman, holding up the plant in his
hand, said:
81 hold in my hand beautiful
flower which I plucked from the garden
we have just left. BY taking it from
its parent home, it withered, but here
plant it in the head of this grave and it
will soon revive and flourish.
So with the little flower we have
just planted in the grave. 1t has been
plucked from its native garden, and has
wilted, but it is transplanted into the
garden of Immortality, where it willre-
viye and flourish in Immortality, glory
and beauty"
