A South African Jungle.

Next morniug, by climbing the highest
trees, we could see fine large sheet Of
water, but surrounded on all sides by the
same impene;rable bel. OF reeds. This is
the broad part of the r,uer Chcbss, and is
called Zabesar Two tre recovered islands
seemed to be much nearer 10 the water than
the shore on which We were, SO we made an
attempt to 60 to them first. 1t was not the
reed alone we had to pass through; pecu-
liar serrated grass, which at certain angles
cut the hands like rszur, was mingled with
the reed, and the climbing convoVu!us, with
stalks which felt as strong as whip cord,
bound the mass together. We telt like
pigm:es in it, and oxen The only way we
could get on was 81 both OF Us leaning
against par. and bending it down ill we
could stand upon it. Tse perspiration
streamed off our bodies, and as the sun rose
high. their being no ventilation among the.
reeds, the heat was sitting, and the water,
which was up to the knees, felt agreeabl7
refreshing. After some hours toll we
reached one of the islands Here we met
an OLD friend, the bramble bush. My strong
meie>ks were quite worn through at the
knees. and the leather trousers OF my COM
panion were torn and his legs bleeding.
Tearing my handkerchief in two, tied the
pieces round my knees, and then encoun-
tered another difficulty. We were-s,ill forty
or fifty yards from the clear water, but now
We we're opposed BY great masses of papy-
rus, which are like palms in miniaiupe
eight or ten fee, high, and an inch and \
half in diameter. These were laced together
by twining convOvu!us so strongly that the.
weight of both Of US could not make way
into the clear water. At last we fortunately
found a passage prepared by hippopo.-
anus. Eager, as soon as we reached The
island, 10 look along the vista to clear
water, stepped in and found i, took me at

0TOur readers will remember that we,
net long ago, told them a story of "Great
Hans httle Hans s-o-H." We have another
o. that link to which they will listen:
A.yourg gutter-snipe, oOrn and brei in
the Five Points region, and who had .ver
known that he had any ether name than
plain Jack, was hauled by brother Brace in
10 the commission school, and with him slid
two companions whom he had only kaowu
in like manner, as "Fln" and EEL"
The former was first asked:
"What is your name"
Fla was the reply
"Ok, u,y-uo. Phiness must be your
name Remember it now"
Then.lle other friend was put Though:
"Whatiis you: name, sonry"
"Eel :"
"Mercy. what a n,me! That will never
d.. suppose it must be Eiias!"
Yes, sir"
All this while the young guuer-snipe hat
been staring a; the odd manner in which hi,
friends names had been heightened out A
length, however, glance of intelligence,
shot ever his face-he took the joke-ant
when asked what his name was, sarcasti
