THE BIRD OF THE ToLLING BELL.-Among
the highest woods and deepest glens of Brazil
sound is sometimes heard, so singular that the
noise quite unnatural; it is like the distant
and solemn telling of church bell struck at in
teryals This extraordinary noise proceeds from
the Arawonda. The bird sits at the top of the
highest trees in the deepest forests, and, though
constantly heard in the most desert places, it is
very rarely seen. 1t is impossible to conceive any,
thing of more solitary character than profound
silence of the woods, broken only by the metallic
and almost supernatural sound of this invisible
bird, coming from the air and seeming to follow
wherever you go. The Arawonda is white, with
circle of red around its eyes; its size is about
that of small pigeon.

A WIFE'S PRAYER.-The author who penned
the following lnes has truth on his side:
a man who has the prayers of pous wife,
and knows that he has them-upheld by heaven,
or by refined sense of obligation and gratitude,
can rarely become very bad man A daily prayer
from the heart of pure and pious wife, for hus-
band engrossed in the pursuits of wealth or fame,
is a chain of golden words that links his name
every day with the name of God. He may snap
it three hundred and sixty times in year, for many
years, but the chances are that in time he will
gather the sundered flaments and seek to reunite
them in an everlasting bond

THE BEAUTY OF TRUTH.

NTruth crushed to earth will rise again.
The eternal years of God are hers,
Bat Error wounded, wrthes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers."
How powerful is truth 1t imparts grace even
to the most virtuous actions, while candid and
frank confession softens and half expiates the
commission of even crime itself Truth is the
only solid foundation which all transactions
between man and man can or even ought to be
based 1t elevateS its votaries in the confidence
and admiration of the world and is, essentially
speaking; the very "divnty that stirs within us. !"
1t is by far the most inspiring attribute that a
humaa being can be endowed with-a being made
IA the image of his God How high is the
testimony borne in its favor, when friend informs
another that he has received important intelligence
from Mr. Sensible and his allocutor replies:
Then you may believe it implicitly, for Sensible
was never known to utter falsehood; no, nor
even to indul &c in evasion or prevaricaton." Such
person can always command the faith and trust
of his fellows, and his advancement in the world
is as certain as the vcissitudes of this life will
permit because he is lover of honest sincerity.
A few years agoan employee of a public company,
by piece of objectionable neglect, caused great
loss of property aud also of life. He was examined
by several of the Directors who had assembled for
the purpose and asked-"Are you guilty of the
negligence charged?"
His reply Was-"l am.
He lost his situation, but the Directors soon
obtained another post for him, which enabled him
to support his family, without being exposed to
contingent responsibilities that had produced his
previous misfortune and the consequent calamity
On Director being ask ed why such an individual
had been again trusted, the reply was, "because he
told the truth, though ruin stared him in the face
and few persons would have had the virtuous
courage to have done under such painful and
trying circumstances
'Ah" was the rejoinder of the parties making
the inqury-"You have indeed acted right-with
both justice and humanity. man of reliability
and candor is above all price"
Even in triacs, truth should be cultivated and
carefully studied. Children should be accustomed
to strict attention to it, in the most minute
particulars:
If, says johnson, "thing happened at one
window, and they, when relating it, say that it
occurred at another, do not let it pass, but
instantly check them. You do not know where
such deyiations might end"

. Destructione of Jerusalem.

From n lecture by Sir E. Bulwer
Lytton we take the following thrilling
description
six years after the birth of our Lord,
Judea and Samarias became Roman
province under subordinate governors,
the most, famous of whom was Pontius
Plate. The governors became SO OPP
prsssive, that the Jews broke out into
rebellion and seventy. years after Christ,
Jerusalem was finally besieged by Titus,
afterwards Emperor Of Rome. No
tragedy on the stage has the same
scenes Of appalling terror as are to be
found in the history Of this siege. The
city itself was rent by factions at the
deadliest war with each other--all the
elements of civil hatred bad broke loose
tho streets were slippery with the
blood of citizens-brother slew brother
tho granaries were set on fire famine

tered the eagles of Rome. But this
triumph was brief; the ferocity Of the
ill-fated Jews soon again wasted itself
on each other. And Titus marched on
---encamped his armies close 10 The
walls-and from the height the Roman
general gazed with awe on the strength
and spiendor Of the city Of Jehovah.
Let us here pause--and take, our
selves, mournfil glance at Jerusalem,
as it then was. The city was fortified
