Heathens and handkerchiefs.

The following is given in London paper,

"In the Bumbajee Islands-a fine group stu-
ated near the Tooraooray Coral cluster-tho
Society for Propagaling the Use of Pocket
handkerchiefs is making many converts. They
We're at first strenuously opposed by powerful
chief called Glumbydumb and on a late occa-
sion this warrior assembled his people at a
'pah-pah,' and harangued them against the
use of the " wipeseywees,' or handkerchiefs of
the English. That very night the misguided
and unhappy man was struck with cold in the
head, of the severest kind, and in two days he
was seen humbly approaching the missionary
station with an Offering of nine fat buIlocks,
twenly-three pigs, and eight tons of yams,
which he proffered in exchange for small blue
cotton handkerchief, inscribed with the Beg
gar's Petition Having obtained it, he made
oyer his domlnions to his good friends, the mis-
slobaries. The society has every reason for
believing that this mans penitence is of the
sincerest character"

Happiness.

We have nothing to do with happiness. 1t
comes, or it does not come. 1t obeys no re4u-
latlon. 1t is secured by no plan, no wisdom, no
fine scheme of thought, no human policy or
persuasion. The very caprIces Of life forbid
the idea Of happiness. We are to undergo an
ordeal-to work out a certain resulI-ahout
which we ourselves have no certainty. We
are in the hands of power in which our hands
are p0weress-whch heeds little how We hope,
or sigh, or dream. or suffer. We must keep
our hearts silent; sthe what we can resign,
as readily as possible, what we can /; indulge in
few expectations; leave all that we can to the
Power whose will is absolute, and before which
all our purposes shrink into nothingness lam

or, so thinks an able reviewer, who thus ex-
expresses it awe are told, by those who have
gone into the statistics of our cheap literature,
that the fiction which comes most home to the
costermonger's bosom, is that which has the
least to do with his business If you wish him
to weep, it must be over the sorrows of baron
