WOMEN Born TO DO THE LovINa.-That
nature has ordained love as woman's task, more
than mans, is thus declared, by late moral
ist:
"With man, love is never g passion Of such
intensity Rs with woman. She 10 a being of
sensibility, existing only 10 the outpourings and
sympathies of her emotions. Every earthly
blessing, nay, every heavenly hope will be sac
rifoed for her affections. She will leave the
sunny homo of her childhood-the protecting
home Of her kindred-forget the counsels of
her sire, the admonishlng voice of that mother
on whose BOSOM her head had been pillowed-
do all that woman can do consistently with
homer forsake all that she has clung to 10 her
girlish siinplioIty for years, and throw herself
iato the atms of the man she idolizes. He that
would forsake woman after these testimonies
of affection, is TOO gross william to be called a
man.

The hypocrite had left his mask, and stood

who stole the livery Of the court of heaven,
To serve the devil in in virtues gaise
Devoured the widows house and orphans bread
In holy phrase, transacted villainies
That common sinners burst not meddle with.
At sacred feasts, he sat among the saints,
And with his guilty hands touched holiest things
And none of sin lamented more, or sighed
More deeply, or with graver countenance,
Or longer prayer, wePt o'er the dying man,
Whose infant children, at the moment, he
Planned how to rob. In sermon style he bot,
And sold, and lied and salutatiOns made
In Scripture terms He prayed by quantity,
And with his repetitions long and loud,
All knees were weary. With one hand he put
penny ia the urn Of poverty,
And with the other took shilling out.

Too pGmpously attended, and his speech

Through which the well accustomed eye could see
The rotteaness Of his heart. None deeper blushed

Yet still he tried to bring his ceuntenance
To sanctimonioas seemingi but, meanwhile,
The shame within, now visible 10 ALL

Despair itself some signs of laughter gave,
As Intellectually he stroye to wipe
His brow, that Inward guiltiness deflled.

tioe of this ordeal is common among all the

procedure excited my surprise, for my inter-
course with the natives here had led me to be-
lieve that the women were held in SO much es
timation that the men would not dare to get
rid of them thus. But the explanation reeeiv-
ed was this. The slightest imputation makes
them eagerly desire the test, they are con-
scious of being innocent, and have the fullest
faith II the mauvi detecting the guilt alone );
hence they go willing, and even eagerly, to
drink it. When in Angola, half caste was

Livingstone dissipates many an error current
IN Europe. They have not the striking afini
ty with the baboon which We have been taught
to believe nor are those specimens which
have been brought to Europe to be considered
as representing the race more accurately than
the Euglish race would bs represen ted by the
Squalidest and ugliest specimens q Barnum
might pick up for exhibition. They are often
small, but not dwarish ara exceedingly en-
during, and their thp, wiry frames are oapa-
bic of great exertion. An uuccDqnerable love
of Independence makes them d nomadio hunt

of their warlike character They are dreaded
by lions as well as by men. When they oh
serve evidence of ;he lions having made .
full meal, they follow up his spoor so quietly
that bis slumbers are not disturbed.
''One discharges poisoned arrow from
distance Of only few feet, while his ccmpa-
niou simultaneously throws bis skin CLOAK on
the beasts head. The sudden surprise makes
the lion lose his presence of mind, and he
bounds away in the greatest confusion and
terror. Our friends here showed me the Dois
son which they use on these occasions. 1t is
the eutrails Of caterpiller called N'gws, half
an inch long. They squeeze out these, and
place them all around the bottom of the barb,
and allow the poison to dry in the sun. They
are very careful in cleaning their nails after
working with it, as a small portion introduced
into scratch acts like merbid matter 10 dis
section wounds. The agony is so great that

are equally terrible. He is heard moaning in
distress, aud becomes furious, biting the trees

s'As the Bushmen have the reputation of
curing the wounds of this poison, asked how
this was effected. They said that they admin
istered the caterpiller in combination with fat;
they also rub fat iuio the wound, saying that
