The girls expressed much groaning gre
at parting with Joshua, and this cheered his
heart during his whaling voyage with Capt
Surge, who took him to his house on bis re
turn. and offered him a cottage and his
blooming daughter Petrelina-cottage and
daughter to go together. But Joshua was
in doubttll he should see Lena and Fatima
and if they had worn we'll. So he paid
them a visit.
You can't have Fatty, Josh, said Lena
she's engaged.
Then, as You are true-blue, I'll take you,
Can't that, neither for I'm married.
Then you may both go to thunder, and
1'll go to the Captains daughter. She's a
clean sift, with a cottage too.
Joshua now fastened back to Captain Sage
and said he guessed he would accept Petre-
lima. But Petrelina had been married
three days before, ana the angry old tar now
kicked him out for doubtful son of sea-
cook.
This effectually removed Joshua and all
his doubts. and planted in thei; stead per-
manent conviction that the doubts of a
bachelor will save him from many worse
ones,

Tomorrow.

"To-mcrrow, my mother" little child said,
"To morrow, my mother, will;'
But to- day was his lat. ard to morrow came not
And to nire out of ten never will.
To the tenth it once came TO a very old man,
Long time had he lain on his bed.
And his hands wore so cold, and his limbs were
so stiff,
He already seemed one dead.
"Pray to heaven for mercy )" they breathed in
bis ear,
"There is tine enough yet," he replied;
"I am better-much BETTER" he would have said
more,
But ere he could say it he died,
So it is with the child, sc tits with the man,
"To- morrow" is ever the thought
Which checks the bright progress of many soul
With schemes of magnifcence fraught.

In Sorrow.
BY ALICE CARY.

'Tis all ore whether ! sit and spin,
lis all orc whether I rise and weep,
Hope has no premise with me to keep,
have nothing 70 lose, have nothing to win.
The work falls ont of my weary hand,
Life's path Is lost To my weary feet,
The world to my vision is incomplete,
Ar atom OF shifting and shapeless sand.
The best ont Of all that is best miss;
TIE light from the morning is gore away
TIE noontide sun is a shadows Pl Y,
and love but the hint of higher bliss.
All things have fallen to the blindness Of fate;
There is no, hing that either doubt OF believe
Neither has faith any trust TO retrieve;
Therefore l sit in my darkness, and wait.
Thou who hast laid on my spirit this pain,
Leave me, q leave ne not thus in the dust;
Grant me to feel and to know thou artjust,
Though the bright daybreak dawn never again

what Can a Child Do9

Suppose the little cowslip
Should hang its golden cup,
And say, "I'm such 81 tiny flower,
I'd better not grow ups
How many a weary traveller
Would miss its fragrant SMELL
How many little child would grieve
To lose it from the dell.
Suppose the glistening dew-drop
Upon the grass she uld say,
"What can a little dew-dTOp doa
I'd better roll away"
The blade on which it rested,
Before tie day was done,
Without a drop to moisten it,
Would witber in the sun.
Suppose the little breezes,
Upon a summers day,
Should think themselves too small to cool
The traveller on his way;
Who would not miss the smallest
And softest ones that blow!
And think they made a gr,at mistake
If they were talking 500
How many deeds of kindness
A little child may do,
Although 1t has SO little strength,
And little wisdom, too!
1t wants living spirit
Much m ore than strength, to prove
How many things a child may do
For others, by its love.

The LEoPARDs ArT4oK-rne power Of
the leopard is wonderful in proportion to
its weight. I have seen q full grown bull
lock with his neck broken by tho leopard
that attacked it. 1t is the popular belief
that the effect is produced by blow of the
paw. This is not che case. Few leopards
rush boldly to the attack like a dog; they
stalk their game, and advance crouchingly,
making use of every object that will afford
cover until they arc within q few bounds of
their prey. Then the immense power Of
the muscle is displayed in the concentrated
energy OF the spring; he flies through the air
settles on the throat, unusually throwing
his body over the animal, while his teeth
and claws are fixed on the neck. This is the
manner in which the spine of the animal is
broken, by a sudden twist, and not blow.
The blow from the paw is, nevertheless, i'm
mensely powerful, aud one stroke will rip
open bullock like knife. But the effect
Of the wound are still more to be dreaded
than the force of the blow, there is pesu-
liar poison in the claw. which is highly
dangerous. This is caused by the putrid
flesh which they are constantly tearing, and
which is apt to cause gangrene by inocula-
tion.-Baker's Wandering in Cevlon.

laid him low by superior strength or cour-
age, we should have sung the sad requiem
Of the stalwart soldier, who fell by the for
tune of war. But surprise was not among the
weapons by which we thought the great
guerrilla vulnerable. Treachery was not a
means by which we supposed he could be
taken off,. Morgan Is no more. The foes
of freedom will rejoice at his loss; they will
be more delighted that he has been be-
trayed and shot down by superior numbers.
We remember his courage, his services and
his sufferings. Kentucky will long ch erish
the memory ofa gallant son, whose ohival-
rous instincts taught her truth that liberty
was never gained by compromise, nor the
oppressor sppeased by submission. She will
bitterly repent that she did not take earlier
counsel of his courage

MooNLIGHT.-Whata a heart break is this
same moonlight. The young delight in It.
the old grow jealous over it, even the canine
race are peculiarly fascinated with moon
light. Such a night, too, as last night was
enough to put one wild with delight. The
full round moon shone deeply down and tho
light was almost as brilliant as the light of
day. Beautiful too as was that moonlight
blessing sto thousands was that last beauti-
full night-raptuous to the lover was the
bright ray of Luna as she peeped laughing
y into the secrets of his social delights
But that same moon witnessed different
places. On the Southern mountain and in
the Southern vale it lighted up scenes that
would make the stoutest heart quail. Un-
ion and rebel refugees, grouped together,
housele ess and homeless, saw the light of
that same moon. but saw it only to add Bit
terness to their sorrow. and to make their
wretchedness more visible. On the battle
field, too is glared and CLEANED that same
moonlight; down upon the decaying bodies
of thousand of our own uncofined fellow
beings, aid upon earth'srough surface, with
out shroud or grave, or friend, or hope, only
In death. All, that same moon that smiled
serenely down on our joys might blush and
crimson when beholding the wretchsdness
OF others as good as deserving as we, caused,
too, by the hardness of our own hearts and
our empty love of earthly glorv.

GooD ADvIoE.-If the body is tired,
sleep. If the bowels are loose, lie down in
a warm bed and remain there, and eat
nothing until you are well. If an action of
the bowels does not occur at the usual hour,
eat not an atom till they do act, at least not
for thirty-six hours; meanwhile drink large
ly of cold water or hot teas; exercise in the

The following amusing story Is extracted
from the Dean of Canterbufy's book on The
Queens English:
A student at one of onr military academies
bad copied drawing OF a scene In Venice,
in copying the title, spelled the name of
the city Kennice. The drawing master put
his pen through the superfuous letter, OBJ
serving:
Don't you know, sir, there is but one hsn
10 Venice?

On being asked what be was laughing about,
he replied, He was thinking how uncom-
monty scarce eggs must be there.
The master, in wrath, reported him to
the Colonel in command, Scotchman.-
He, on hearing the 6isrespectful reply
without in the least perceiving the point OF
the joke, observed:

SrRYcHNINE.-This has become to be OF
late a noted article. We are informed, IN
reference to it, that it is most uncertain
in its action on the human frame; in some
producing almost d death; the same does in
others bringing on tetanic convusions, and
in a lucky few no effect at all; and this doss
not appear to have any relation to the ply s.
ical strength Of the patient. 1t is whitish
crystalline substance and is extracted from
the nut of tree called strychuine, nur
Vonlicd.
This tree grows in Ceylon, is of a moder-
ate size, and has thick, shining leaves, with
a short crooked stem. In the fruit season
it is readily recognized by its rich, orange
colored berries, about as large as golden
pippins. The rind is smooth and hard, and
contains white pulp of which many vari-
cites of birds are very fond. Within this
are fat, round seeds, not an inch in dame
ter, covered with very beautiful silky hairs
aud of an asy grey color. The nut is the
deadly poison which was we'll known and
its medicinal properties we'll understood by
Oriental doctors long before Europe or
America had heard its name. Dog killer
and fish scales are translatons of two OF
its Arabic names. The natives of Hindos-
tan often eat it for months and it becomes
a habit, like opium eating. with the same
disastrous results. They commence with
taking the eight Of nut day, and grad
uallv increasing their allowance to an entire
nut which would be about twenty grains.
If they eat directly before or after food no
unpleasant effects are produced, but if they
neglect this precaution, spasms result. The
chemical tests for it are numerous but only
one or two can be yelled upon as being
accurate.
