BETTER TO FIGHT THAN RUN.-"That
which thou hast to do, do it with all thy
might" said clergyman to his son.
SO did this morning." said Bill, with
an enthusiastic CLEAN in his eye.
All what was it, darling2" and the
fathers fingers ran through his ofspring's
curls.
Why, I walloped Jack Edwards" said
the young hopeful, till he yelled like
blazes. You should just have heard him
holler, dad p
The father looked unhappy while he
explained the precept did not apply to any
act like that, and concluded with
You should not have done that, my
child"
"Then he'd walloped me-" replied the
young hopeful.
Better" said the sire, " for you to have
fled from the wrath to come"
Yes" replied the hopeful, by way of a
final clincher, " but Jack can run twice as
fast as / can"
The good man sighed, went to his study,
took up pen, and endeavored to compose
himself.

AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE.

was out shooting, writes gentleman,
resident in the colony of Port Natal, to
friend in England, and observing an Gree
bee, Ia small red buck l endeavored to
approach it near enough to secure shot;
and, making circuit, came up towards
it, keeping small hill between myself and
the buck, until thought l might venture
to look out and see the whereabouts of my
intended game. What was my surprise
when 1 found that the animal had not
moved since | first saw it, and was then
standing in a peculiar attitude, perfectly
motionless, and not twenty yards from me.
These little creatures have extraordinary
sight, and are very timid, rendering it diff
cult to approach within hundred yards,
unless you surprise them while sleeping in
long grass. l stood watching the buck for
some time, at first supposing it to be sick.
l then thought l would see how near |
could get, and, there being an ant-head
close beside the buck, l approached, and
on looking over the mound, saw the head
of large boa-constrictor lying just out Of
a hole under the heap; and the buck stood
with its head turned on one side, in an
awkward position, gazing intently on its
deadly enemy, and not in the least aware
of my vicinity. / retreated cautiously.
fearing to break the spell, and wishing to
watch the last act in this singular mesmer-
| ic drama.
The buck must have remained at least
five minutes in this transfxed position, the
hair of its back erect, its eye dilated, and
its attitude stiff and unnatural. Suddenly
1 saw it on the ground, the thick black
coils of the boa EMBEDDING its body and
legs. I fired instantly, and the reptile
slowly unwound himself, compelled to sue
cumb to a power more terrible than his
own. My gun had one barrel rihed, the
other a smooth bore for shot. l had dis
charged shot only, not being far off, and
the body of the snake was nearly severed
yet, in the short instant during which he
had embraced his prey, he had broken ev-
cry bone of the pretty creatures body. |
measured the snake, and found its length
to be eighteen feet nine inches.
The eye of the boa is very peculiar
while mesmerizing its prey; it almost APP
pears to emit fame. 1t may be compared
to an amethyst or ruby, or both, with an
emerald stuck together, and rapidly re-
volving in the sun.
Its mouth was closed, or nearly so, and
its long tongue darling from side to side, as
if in greedy anticipation of the dish of
venison which awaited its devouring jaws.

Nor TO BE OuTDoNE.-An old joker who
never yielded the palm to any one in re-
lating knotty yarn, was put to his trumps
at hearing traveller state that he once
saw brick house placed upon runners and
drawn up hill to more favorable loca-
ton, some half mile distant.

Ethel p said bystander.

saw a two-story house down east drawn
by oxen three miles"
A dead silence ensued. The old man evil
IDENTIFY had the worst end of it, and he saw
it. Gathering all his energies, he bit off a
huge piece Of pig-tail, by way of gaining
time for thought.
They drawed the stone house." said the
old man, "but that wasn't the worst of the
job: after they'd done that, they went back
and drawed the cellar.

A CRUSHED SPIRIT.

Take my hand, papa" said sweet,
mild voice, timidly, last evening, as, with
her father and mother, a little girl emerged
from saloon on Fulton street.
g. Take my hand, please, papa," she said,
more timidly, second time, as she held
out her tiny arm to him.
"No, I qco,at-keep your hand to your
self; won't take things hand like you'll"
and he stepped aside to widen the distance
between them.
The little girl raised her eyes to her ia
theirs face, as if instinctively to read there
whether she correctly understood the mean
ing of the words he had uttered. Her
timid glance was met with a coarse trown,
better suited to demon than parent.
The look made her falter, and she seemed
to sink within herself crushed and
bruised spirit.
"Conae along, you hateful thing j" said
the well-dressed mother, angrily, to the
child. before it had fairly recovered from
the shock that had been inflicted upon her
sensitive nature by her father, and giving
the little one jerk by the arm that would
have sent her face downwards upon the
sidewalk had not the same hand stayed
her fall.
"After we get home, if you do thing
to displease me-" continued rhis mother to
the now trembling child, will hide you
from head to foot now mind, | tell you'll"
The little girl looked up no more, but
hung her head in shame-a crushed and
wounded spirit, no doubt wondering to her
self why God-if she had ever heard of
her God-had made her to curse her pa
rents 2
We have repeated the above, briefly, the
substance of what transpired within our
hearing, last evening, on Fulton street.
The " father" as the child called him, was
respectfully dressed, but was a coarse,
rough man in appearance, weighing at
least two hundred pounds, avoirdupois.
The mother was large, noble looking
woman, and well dressed. The child was
a beautiful, haxen-haired girl, not more
than six years old, and if there is any
truth in physiognomics, possessed natural
ly an intelligent and lively disposition,

opens the heart and understanding of these
parents. What curses will she not heap
upon her parents in after years, should she
have the misfortune to live. The bare
thought of child begotten by the union
of such inhuman human beings is suf6-
GENTLY sad and revolving. But how much
more so is it in such case as this, where
the offspring is brought up under their in,
Auence, receiving, in place of words OF
encouragement, love and tenderness, dark

SAVING TmE.-A clergyman who enjoys
the substantial benefits of a fine farm, was
slightly taken down few days ago by his
Irish plowman, who was sitting at his pillow
in a tobacco field resting his horse. The
reverend gentleman being great econo-
mist said, with great seriousness: John,
wouldn't it be good plan for you to have
a stub sythe here, and be hubbing few
bushes along the fence while the horse is
resting?"

Wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to
have tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and

to be ready for the pot?'

MANHOOD.


Who shall Judge a man from manners?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for p.inces,
Princes fit for something less
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe tie golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed, and overgrown.
God, whe counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values throne the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men!
Men by labor, men BY feeling,
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little weed-clad rills,
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me-
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of nations wealth and fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same,
By the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly hfteth up its voice
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is q sunny right.
God, whose world-heard voice IL singing,
Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression, with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.
