"Whai have you to gain by division and

~ The importations Of cured meat into

are yet in infancy" if we may use such an
expression, is conceded, but that they will
long continue SO, must he denied. The
lmportatlons of this season have not gener.
ally turned out well or profitable, which is
not owing to the inferior manner of curing
and packing. In the hurry to get this
class Of merchandise to this market, there
naS been undue haste, and as an inevitable
result, the meat has been insufficently cured
AAa then carelessly packed. The natural
consequence Of such reckless haste has been,
@as the meat has spoiled before it reached

FEMALE BEAUTY.-Tho ladies of Arabia
stain their fingers and toes red, their eye
brows black, and their lips blue. In Per

eyes, and ornament their faces with vari.

The Hottentot women paint the entire

In Greenland the women color their faces

nearly all islands Of the Pacific and Indian
oceans, the women, as well as the men
tattoo a great variety of figures on the face,

and keeping the wound open for a long
time form deep scars in the, flesh, which
they deem highly ornamental. And an.

Sumatran mother carefully 6attens the

applied to the skull in order to hatten it
and thus give it new beauty. The mod

And whitecaps dancing, pale with Fame,
The corpse-lights Of the wreck.
The west-wind blows the west-wind blew,
And on its snowy,way,
That hissed and hushed like rush ing sand,
My soul fed far away.
The snow went towards the morning hills
In curling drifts of white.
But went up to the gates Of God
Through all the bowling night.
I went up to the gates of God,
The angel waiting there,
Who keeps the bloodred keys Of Heaven,
Stopped down to hear my prayer.
"Dear keeper of the keys Of Heaven,
A thousand souls tonight
Are torn from life by land and sea,
Whose life was yet delight.
"But am tired with storms and pain
Sweet angel let me in!
And send some strong heart back again
To suffer and to SIM
The angel answered stern and slow:
''How darcst thou be dead,
While God seeks dust to make the street
Where happier men may tread?

Go hear its dead-bell's toll!
Lie speechless underneath their feet
Who tread across thy soul.

Whose righteous judgments wait,
Thy murdered cry may cleaye the ground,
But not unbar my gate"
Right backward through the seething snow,
Back through the battling wind,
Ny soul crept slowly to its lair
The body left behind.
The west-wind blows, the westwind blew
There are dead men on the sea,
And landsmen dead in shrouding drifts;
But there is life in me.

REMARKS.

1t was evident from the commencement
Of the contest that Terra Firma had it all
his own way. His regularity of movement,
greater weight, and variety of other ad-
yantages, evinccd TO the knowing ones, at
an early period, how the affair would tcrmi-
nate. His younger and somewhat ccccn-
trio antagonist must hereafter seek laurels
in much less pretentious field than the
Solar System Our readers will bear us
witness that, from the start, we predicted
the result, and the details of the rencoun-
ter prove the correctness Of our position
We understand that Mercury, the stakehol-
der, has appropriated the stakes, and as he
cannot be apprehended without deranging
the Solar System, the Champions belt is
all that Terra Firma will gain by the CON

ROUND II.-Timc. being called by the
Sun, both men came to the scratch prompt,
ly, Terra Firma smiling and the Comet
presenting rather a subdued appearance
A little cautious sparring ensucd, when
they closed and fell, Terra Firma above
and laying on the Comet till removed by
his seconds.
ROUND III-The men came up at the
call of Time, the Comet evidently the worse
for wear having lost the most Of his beard
and one of his tails, which had broken off
in the fall. He made an effort to get one
in on the mob of his antagonist, who stop
ped it and countered heavily with his left.
First knock down for Terra Firma.
RoUND IV.-It was now evident to our
reporter and the majority of the knowing
ones that the superior weight of Terra
Firma could not be overcome by the quick
ness of his young antagonist, who began
to evince groggy condition and fought
wildly. A few hits passed, with first blood
for Terra Firma, a rally and Comet down,
with the former falling heavily on him.
ROUND V.-Time being called, both men
came up, but, on squaring, Comet staggered
and fell; and, not rising again, tie victory
was declared to be with Terra Firma, who,
leaping over the ropes, resumed his paral-
lels of longitude and latitude, aud rc-enter-
ed his daily course as fresh as he had com
menced the contest. The Comet, after
short nap, proceeded towards his ophelon.
