That flash of lightning had done good
service, for some of the old fishermen,
looking out from the village inn, had
caught sight of three stlugglers, and per-
ceiving a lady lying hesslessin the arms

"Here, sir, give me the lady," cried
one.

Johheoh ! " RaSSclaSs ne imaginary
description given Of it by the learned doc
tor, if at all true in Abyssinia's ancient
and better days, is far different from the
present appearance. BTr. Parkyns de-
scribes it as a deep, magshy valley sur
rounded by high and sandy hills, on The
sleeps Of which poor villages are built,
whose inhabitants cultivate millet, and
depend for water al the dry season on
what the sand flats retain Of the winter
rains. Our traveller thought proper to
decline that preferment, particularly as
he would have been obliged to defend his
province continually from neighboring
tribe.
He describes The people of Abyssinia
in general as rude, but hospitable; low in
their domestic morals, backTard u al tie
arts of life, and addicted to many singular
and silly superstitions. BY one of these,
all blasksmiths are regarded as possessed
ofsupernaturalpower's and a story which
Mr.. Parkyns found in high credit, ilIus-
trates at once the ignorance and crcdulity
of the people. A certain old woman in
the neighborhood of Adoua, to all appear
ance died, and was buried; but on the
following night the priest, who in Abys-
synia acts as sexton also, was visited by
noted blacksmith, who for considera-
ton, obtained leave of his reverence to
remove thc body privately. After this,
it was remarked that the blacksmith rode
a remarkably fine ass, which, as it passed
the houses Of the deceased woman's mar
ried sons, on the way to market, always
brayed loudly, and endeavored to enter
their doors. One of the sons at length
began to suspect that there must be some
what magical in the business. By his
instigation a rising of the village took
place, the blacksmith was seized, ass and
all, the priest gave his evidence against
him, and the sorcerer confessed that hi,
ass was the young mems mother, who haC
not died, but had been cast into trance
by his art, and afterward transformed into
the quadruped he rode 10 market Hi
power extended no farther than the body
the human feelings and memory remained
hence the recognition of her children
The blacksmith offered, provided his liz
were spared, to restore the old woman
wonted appearance. Mr.. Parkyns coul
not learn the mode Of exorcism, but whel
it was almost complete one of the youn.
men, overcome by anger, forgot the prom
ise the family had made, and ran the sor
cerer through with his spear, to the grea
misfortune of the old woman, for one O
her feet had not been disenchanted, and
remained asinine.
! One cannot read these accounts Of
far-distant and halfbarbarous, yet re
markable country, without feeling hop
much our free and enlightened countr,
owes to the Providence that has so large
ly blessed her. Let us hope the debt vii
be in some sense acknowledged by ou
missionary enterprise abroad, and ou
prayerful emdeavors at home, that til,
knowledge of the Lord may cover tn,
earth, and that nation may rise up to cal
our country blessed.

a MAN there came, whence none could tell,
Bearing n Tombstone in his hand
And tested all things in the land
BY its uucrring spell.
Quick birth Of tronsmution smote
The fair to foul, the Coul TO fair;
Purple nor crminc, did he spare,
Nor scorn the dusty coat,
or heirloom jewels, priced so much,
We're many changed to chips and clods,
Ard even statues of tire gods
Cyumbied beneath its touch.
Then angrily the people cried,
"The loss outweighs the profit far;
Our goods suffice us as they are'
We will not have them tried"
And since they could not so avail
To check his unrelenting quest,
They seized him, soying-"Lot him test
How real is our joil!'
But though they slew him with the sword,
And in a fire lis Touchstone burn'd,
Its doipgs could not be o'erturned,
Its undoings resorted.
And when, to stop all future harm,
They strew'd its ashes On the breeze;
They little guessed each grain Of these
Conyey'd the perfect charm.

In briery dell or thicket brown,
On mountain high, in lonely vale,
Or where the thistle sheds its down,
And sweet fem scents the Passing gale,
There hop the birds from bush to tree,
Love Glls their Threats,
Love swells their notes,
Their song is love and liberty.
No parent bird shall love direct,
His fair he seeks in plumy throng,
Canghtby the plumlss Of her neck,
OF kindred s~oftncss Of her song.
Tacy sing and bill from bush to tree,
Love fills their throats,
Love swslls their notes,
Their song is love and liberty.

GoLp WATcu CAsEs.-ThcP hiladelphiaLcdger in
s]penking Of the manufactory Of watch eases, which
is carried on extensively in that city, says there
arc eleven firms engaged in the business, all of
whom employ over 300 hands, and turn ont Mt least
500 cases per wack, ut a cost of some $50. 00U0, or
more than 100000 annually. The gold manu-
featured into cases weekly will not amount to much
less than Sl4,000, or over a half million Of dollars
The movements, as the internal ar
or works ofwatches are called, have
hitherto been manufactured in Europe, and impor-
rted, tho watchmakcrs Of this country only furnish
ing the cases, A few months ago, Denison, How
ard & Davis, Of Waltham, Mass, commenced the
manufacture of these works, with new and iugeni.
Gus machinery, by which the teeth Of the wheels
are accurately cut and finished at once, requiring
no other touches by the workmen. So true is this
work that the watches may not only be mlbe to
keep correct time. and what has hitherto been con-
sidered an impoai5iIity, may all be made to keep
the same time.

is giving too much consequence to them to answer
them in the Senate. Nv opinion is. that when "A
newspaper comes to US containing such statements

to allow our own newspapers to do il. If the Brit.
