A SINGULAR BIRD oF CHINA AND JAPAN.-
There is bird called the 'Slenhoh," on the
crown of whose head there is a beautiful scar
let tuft of down, or velvet skin, to which the ma
tives believe the poison of serpent it is fond o.
eating determines. This downy ceast is often
formed into bead, and that bead is concealed
in the ornamental necklaces of the high officers
for suicidal purpose, in case of imperial dis.
pleasure, which, as report goes, is easily effected
by merely touching the venemous bead with
the tip of the tongue, when death follows in.
stanty. l saw pair of this ornithological Gu.
riosity at Ning-po; they were natives of Siam,
and resembled the crowned crane. They were
both young, male and female, nearly of size,
and had very long legs. The head was of most
handsome black torkng behind, having on the
crest scarlet skin. The rest OF the body is
white, except ON the secondaries of the wings,
which We're not red, as represented in some Obi.
nese drawings but black, and overlapping the
tail. On the embroidered breast pieces oi
dresses worn by the highest mobiles Of the State
there is a copy of this singular bird elegantly
worked. A native work on the ornithology Of
China gives some curious and prodigious starie:
about this fuwl--that it can live 1000 years
that at so years Of age it can sing regularly ant
beautifully every hour of the day; that on reach
ing its 1,0O0th year it can mount trees, butnev
er before that.

A RELIGION FOR ALL WEATHERs. There is a
fishing village on the coast of Cornwall, where
the people are very poor, but pious and intell
gent. Last year they were sorely tried. The
winds were contrary, and for nearly month
they could not 60 to SEQ. At last, one Sabbath
morning, the wind changed, and some of the
men whose faith was weak went out towards
the beach, the women and children looking on
sadly, many saying with sighs-
"lm sorry it's Sunday, buff we were not
so poor"
"But if" said sturdy fisherman, starting up
and speaking aloud surely, neighbors, are your
butts and its to break Gods law2"
The people gathered around him, and he ad-
ded:
'Mine's religion for all weathers, fair wind
and foul This is the love OF God, that ye keep
it holy That's the law, friends. And our
Lord came not to break, but fulfill the law
True, we are poor; what of that1 Better poor
and nave Gods smile, than rich, and have his
frown. Go, You that dare; but never knew
any good OF a religion that changed with the
wind"
These words in season STAYED off the pprpose
of the rest They went home aud made ready
for the house of God, and spent the day in praise
and prayer In the evening, just when they
would have been returning, a sudden storm
sprung up, that ragged terribly for two days
After the tempest, came settled weather, and
the pilchard fishery was SC. rich and abundant
that there was soon no complaining in that vii
lage. Here was religion for all weathers.-
Remember the words, "Tru,t in the Lord and dc
good, and verify thou shalt be fed"

POETRY.
An Ancient Toast.


1t was grand day in the old chivalric tim
the wine citcling round the board in mol
hall, and the sculptured walls rang with sen
ment and song. The lady Of knightly heart W
pledged aloud by name, and many a syllable 81
ni6cant of loveliness had been uttered, until
came to St. Leon's turn, when, lifting the spar
ling cup on high
"I drink to one," he said,
"wbose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory Is dead.
.To one whose love for me shall last,
When lighter passions long have passed,
So holy tits and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledged to you"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid his hand upon his sword.
With fury flashing eyes;
And Stanly said, "We crave the name,
Proud knight, of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count so high"
st. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood,
Thus lightly to another;
Then bent his noble head as though
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, "My Mother"

pretty successful in bantering an Irlshman, when
the latter asked him show the devil he had
come to lose his leg" SWELL" said Jones, ION
examining my pedigree, and looking up my de
scent, found there was some Irish blood in me,
and, becoming convinced that it had all settled
in that left leg, had it cut ofat once" ..Be the

PERrIsENT.-In these days when every penny
saved ia notable, it is good to revive the sage
words of Emerson to his wife, for they may inn
part an idea to some ladys mind:
o. excellent wife, cucumber not tliyself to get
curiously rich dinner for this man or woman
who has alighted at our gate, nor a bed chamber
made ct too great cost. These things, if they
are curious in them, they can get for few shil-
ling in any village; but rather let the stranger
see, if he will, in your looks accent and behay-
oir, your heart and earnestness, your thought
and will. that which he cannot buy at any price
in the city, and for which he may well travel
twenty miles, and dine sparingly and sleep little,
to behold. Let not the emphasis OF hospitality
lie in bed and board, but let truth and love, and
honor aud courtesy flow in all thy deeds.

THE VALUE OF INDIAN CoRN-For the follow
ing interesting information in regard to this lit
tie understood kind of food, we are indebted to
Hunts Merchants Magazine:
'sBy those who do not know, or are too scien-
tifc to profit by the experience OF nations OF
men and herds of fat cattle, Indian corn, rice,
buckwheat, &c, are only considered good fod-
der Lebig states that if We were to go naked
as the Indians, or if we were subject to the Same
degree of cold as the Samoedes, we should be
able to consume the half of a calf and dozen
candles at single meal. During excessive ia
tpue in low temperature, wheat flour fails to sus-
tain the system. This is owing to deficiency
in the elements necessary to supply animal heat,
and the strong desire for oleagnous substances,
under these circumstances, has led to the belief
that animal food is necessary for human support.
But late scientific experiments, and better ac-
ouaintance with the habits of the North Amer-
can Indians, have shown that vegetable oil
answers the same purpose as animal food that
one pound of parched Indian corn, or an equal
quantity of corn meal, made into bread, is more
than equivalent to two pounds of fat meat.
"Mea from Indian corn contains more than
four times as much oleaginous matter as wheat
flour; more starch, and consequently capable OF
producing more sugar, and though less gluten,
in other important compounds it contains nearly
as much heterogeneous material. The combina-
ton of alimentary compounds in Indian corn,
renders it alone the mixed diet capable Of sus.
tanning man under the most extraordinary cir
cumstances. In it, there is natural coalescence
of elementary principles which constitute the
basis of organic life, that exists in no other veg
etable production. In ultimate composition, in
nutritious properties, in digestibity, and in its
adaptation to the varied necessities of animal
life in the different climates of the earth, corn
meal is capable of supplying more of the abso-
lutte wants of tile adult human system than any
other single substance in nature"
