AN AFRICAN SERAGLIo.-"A cat,' says
the proverb, ''may look at king !" but
woe bctide the foolish man who presumes
to look at any one oil the 1888 wives. whose
bright eyes and musical voices make the
king of DahOmey the most blessed OF NOR
tails. The royal household is usually very
large. The king il permitted to have 1888
wives. A very few only Of these women
live in the palace at the same time the
rest reside at the royal country house, or in
a part of the town consisting Of two streets
reserved for their use. This locality is en-
closed, aud guards placed al the gates,
which no persons are permitted to enter.
Their female friends and even the royal
messengers converse with them at the bar
ricades. When they go abroad. which does
not often occur. they arc attended by num-
ber of boys, furnished with whips OF ele-
phants hide, which they use freely upon all
persons who do not instantly turn away
and cover their eyes. Whipping and ining
are penalties inflicted on those who look at
the kings wives. On great public occca-
sions, several hundred of these royal danes
accompany their cOnsort arrayed in pro-
fusion of silks and gold. OF course 1t
sometimes happens that his majesty does
not know how many wives and children he
possesses.- [Macbriar's Africans at Home.

uALLowED GROUND.


What hallows ground where eroes sleepS
Wis not the sculptured piles you heapl
In dews that heavens far distant weep
Their turf may bloom;
Or Oenii twine beneath the deep
Their coral tomb:
put strew his ashes TO the wind
whose sword or voice has served mankind
And Is he dead, whose glorious mind
Lifts thine ON highY
To live in hearts we leave behind,
Is not to die.
Is't death to fall for Freedoms righH
He's dead alone that lacks her light
And murder sullies in Heavens sight
The word he draws.
What alone can enOble hghU
noble causel
Give that, and welcome War to brace
Her drums, and rend Heavens reeking spacel
The cOlors planted face to face,
The charging cheer
Though Deaths pale horse lead on the chase,
Shall still be dear.

properly administered
That such dangers may be averted, recommend the

int they seek Him in public and In private by fasting,
humiliation and prayer; and commend the interests Of
our beloved State and country to His protecting ca
Also that they supplicate Him to bestow upon tenn
poral good and spiritual blessings, limited only by
necessities aud His glory that the President Of the

him in the discharge of his responsible duties, and be
sustained by people loyal 10 the government that He
