The Cedars of Labanon.

T~Alnlln wing is an extract from u letter
of r. S. Calhoun, missionary. in the last
number of the Bibliothecs Sacra:
The region of the cedars-ten hours ride
southeast from Tripoli--is not far from 1000
feet above the level of the sea, and is sur
rounded on the north. east and south by
still higher range of mountains. 1t is open
towards the west, and looks down upon a
vast mass ofrugged mountains, and beyond
them to the 'great and wind sea-" The
scenery is most majestic and impressive.
The soil in which the cedars grow. is of a
limestone quality, and SO exceedingly rough
and stony US to be entirely unfit for the
plow. The whole region around is covered
deep with snow, usually from early in De-
cember to the middle OF April. But though
the snow is 50 abundant the cold is not SO
intense as, for instance, in New England.
This region around the cedars is too cold
for rain, and hence almost the entire dis
charge from the clouds is in the form OF
snow, while at the same time, as tar as |
can Judge, from the reports OF the people in
habiting the nearest village, the ice is far
less than with you, thus indicating less
degree of cold.

two feet, a less number three feet and even
four aud FIVE feet in diameter. Several OF
them are from six to ten feet. One that

A little higher it sends forth five immense

One of the Professors Of - College

they bit upon the 70 lowing expejient:
In the course of their walk. they had fre-
quenily seen, at a neighboring farm, black
ram, which was perfectly tame, and which
had been taught TO butt any one, who ap-
peared to challenge hm by st0opibg or
bowling his head. They managed one night
TO entice The ram 10 the College, where
they secured him in en- empty AM dsrkened
room, and fed m the next day. 4, night.
just before the usual time for the Professors

on tiptoe, proceeded toward room whence
issued rather unusual sounds. As he stcoped
to apply his optic 20 the key-ho!e of the

CONDITION OF IDIOTS.

For information under this head also, we
must rely mainly upon reports from the va
rious asy Iums for the education of idiots.
Their condition, as we were prepared to
believe, is represented by those who have
undertaken their education ard improve
ment, as sad in the extreme .-sickening to
contemplate. Human beings, made in Ne
image Of God, destitute of those moral and
intellectual attributes wnich distinguish
them from the "brute that pcrisheth;" sub
ject to the most debasing passions, as in-
satiable gluttony and frightul forms OF self
abuse; alike insensib.e to kindness OF re-
proof; 50 low in the scale of humanity that
even maternal affection is ldvished in vain
upon them.
