In fact, hogs are Of little Pr9ft except
for the oork they do. Their instinct,
habits--their mental, moral and physi-
cal constitutions-are admirable. Even
John Calvin did not, I'd my knowledge,
extend his doctrine Of "original sin
and total depravity" TO the hog. No,

HOW TO BELIEVE.


Over the ocean bounded good,
strong ship. ssHomeward bound was
the thought that made the piping winds
sound sweetly to the sailor, who sat,
in his midnight watch, listening to
them as they whistled through the
shrouds.
'Honeward bound,' thought the
rough seamen--" -"home to the low cot
tage near the wood, and to carry Joy
to my old mothers heart, I 60. Thank
God for a mothers prayers!S
The 'look-out,D as the man at the
masthead is always called, had been a
desperate character, but his mothers
prayers had followed him as he roYed
over sea and land; and when, in his
turn, he had gone aloft to watch all
alone, and to listen to the strange,
Wordless whispers Of the ocean winds,
he hadmore than once fancied he heard
the tones like those of that mother
voice praying for him.
E A faithful chaplain was on board;
and his efforts for the goodof the crew
were blessed. Among others, 'Look-
out Jim"-so named from his far
Esightedness, and because so often sent
aloft-became convert. Whole-heart-
ed in bis piety, as before he had been
in his Wiekedness, he strove with un-
firing zeal I'd impart to all his ship,
mates the knowledge of the Savior he
had found. s
He declared to them that he hat
enjoyed more peace and happiness il

years which he had lived ever afforded
him. 4

BAsHFUL MEN.-We never yet saw

blush and stammer, and shrug their
shoulders awkwardly, unable to throw
forth with ease the thoughts that they
would express, yet commend them to
us for friends.
There are AAe touches in their char
aeters that time will mellow and bring
ont perceptions as delicate as the
faintest tint is to the unfolded rose;
and their thoughts are none the less
refined and beautiful that they do not
flow with the inpetuosity of the shall
low streamlet.

watch. Soon afterwards he rose again,
looking towards the wagons, and groBl-
ing in a manner which showed that he
was angry about something. It came
out afterward that Mr.. Hutton's SER
wants had summoned courage enough
to approach the spot, armed with guns ];
but on seeing the lion get up and look
towards them. they all took to their
heels. The lion crouched down again,
with his fore feet turned under him, as
a cat does sometimes; and as he began
to yawn and wink, Mr.. Hutton thought
he was getting tired Of bis watch. If
he had been, however, he would have
made the attack at once. 0
Towards evening the roaring Of a
lioness was heard, and Mr.. Hutton
trembledlestthe enemy shouldrespOnd,
and that his mate, who would, perhaps,
be hungry, would approach and devour
the supper which the lion was keeping
for himself. Probably the latter had
the same fear, for, though he rose and
laid down again several times, moved
about uneasily, and shifted the ground,
he did not reply to the call, which soon
ceased to be heard. The sun had now
gone down, and myriads of stars were
shining in the deep blue sky. The
lion lay still, and Mr.. Hutton feared to
attract his attention by moving; haY-
ing been up all the preceding night, he
felt drowsy too, but dared not close his
eyes. He hoped that something would
soon occur to draw the lions attention
from him, for he felt he should newt
ably be sacrificed as soon as the animal
became hungry. Several times he
heard antelopes and zebras come to
the water to drink, but the lion scarcely
noticed them. He had evidently made
up his mind to sup on the unfortunate
trader. All at once he raised his head
and began to growl. Mr.. Hutton thought
his last moment had at length arrived,
but, to his surprise, his shaggy enemy
laid down again. In about ten minutes
he rose to his feet and growled angrily;
and as he turned his head away from
him, the trader thought some cther
lion was approaching, and that the one
which had paid him such particular at
tentions was ehjecting to any division
of the spoil. The lion continued to
growl, and moved about uneasily, as if
troubled in his mind. All at once a
Namaqua, whose life the trader had
saved on former occasion, rushed up
to the spot, brandishing frying pan
full of wild-fre, the blaze and glare Of
which so terrified the lion that he
gave tremendous foar, and bounded
off into the darkness. Mr.. Hutton
sprang up, loaded both barrels of his
gun, and started off towards his wag-
ons, which he and his grateful pre-
server reached in safety. 1t was the
stealthy approach Of the latter, who
did not ignite the wild-fre until close
to the spot, which had made the lion so
restless. MIR. Hutton was determined,
after this adventure, to have the lions
skin, and waited day or two for the
arrival Of two brother traders, who
joined forces with him, and went in
pursuit Of the enemy. After two days
search, the lion was found, and killed
at the first shot by one of the party,
whose name was johnson. Mr.. Hut
ton purchased the skin for S25, and il
now adorns his parlor at CapetoWn.

Every healthy, vigorous tree or
plant, is supplied with an almost inf
mite number of fbrous roots, which
penetrate every part Of the sod, and
gather sap, along with it a supply Of
organic and inorganic food. The ex-

Where there is a great number Of
alternatiyesof heat and cold, SO many
Of these roots are broken as to leave
the tree in sickly condition in the
spring, and it should be acarefuI study
to protect them from such action of
frost. Should there be but slight
degree Of frost, not more than enough
to freeze water half an inch to an inch
in depth, a body of water around the
roots would doubtless act as a preseryei.,
and from this fact probably the ridicu-
lous habit arose above alluded to. But
in this climate we have to guard
against foot-deep instead Of inch-deep
frosts.

AN ExcENTR1c PREAcHrR.

Murray's Handbook of South
Italy," lately published, contains some
curious stories respecting Fra Rocco,
the celebrated Dominican preacher,
and the spiritual Joe Miller Of Naples.
On one occasion, it is related, he
preached on the Mole penitential
sermon, and introduced SO many illus
trations of terror, thathe soon brought
his hearers to their knees. While
they were thus showing every sign of
contrition, he cried out. "Now al you
who sincerely repent of your sins, hold
up your right hand.Y Every man in
the vast multitude Immediately stretch
ed out his hand. "Holy Archangel
Michael exclaimed Rocco, " thou
who with thine adamantine sword
standest at the right of the Judgment
seat Of God, hew off every hand that
has been raised hypocritieally." In
an instant every hand dropped, and
Rocco, of course poured forth a fresh
torrent Of eloquent inyectiYe against
the sin and their deceit.
He had great dislike to tobacco,
and when once preaching to crowd
of Spanish sailors, he astonishing them
by telling them there were no Spanish
saints in Heaven. A few, heo said,
had been admitted, but they smok-
ed so many cigars, that they made the
HOLY Virgin sick; and st. Peter set
his wits to work to get them out. At
length, he proclaimed that a bull fight
was to take place outside the gate of
Paradise. Thereupon every Spanish
saint, without exception, ran off to see
the fight, and st. Peter immediately
closed the gates, and took care not to
admit another Spaniard. n
