1t was their custom to eat a, the pub

the establishment. The little boy, about
nine years old, was very laxative and
noisy. On small scale he kicked up as
much noise and fuss at the Donegana as
his paternal relative did on a larger scale
during the rebellion. At meals he was
constantly gabbing in loud voice, and
finding fault with every thing placed be-

Hallowed Ground.

What's hallowed ground Has earth clod
Its Maker meant not should be trod
BY man, the image of his God,
Erect and free,
Unscourged by Superstition's rod,
To bow the kneei
That's hallowed ground--where, mourned ant
missed,
The lips repose our love has kissed -
But where's their memorys mansion Ist
Yon churchyard bowers
No in ourselves their souls exist,
A part of ours.
What hallows ground where heroes sleep
'Tis not the sculptured piles you heap
In dews that heavens far distant weep
Their turf may bloom;
Or Genii twine beneath the deep
Their coral tomb:
But strew his ashes to the wind
Whose sword or voice has served mankind
And is he dead, whose glorious mind
Lifts thine on high p
To i've in hearts we leave behind,
Is not to die.
Is't death to fall for Freedoms right
He's dead alone that lacks her light
And murder sullies in Heavens sight
The sword he draws:
What can alone ennoble fight -
A noble cause!
Give that and welcome war to brace
Her drums and rend Heavens recking space
The colors planted face to face,
The charging cheer,
Though Deaths pale horse lead on the chase,
Shall still be dear.
And place our trophies where men kneel
To Heaven but Heaven rebukes my zeal
The cause of Truth and human weal
o God above
Transfer it from the swords appeal
To Peace and Love.
What's hallowed ground 'Tis what gives birth
To sacred thoughts IN souls of worth -
Peace Independence Truth go forth
Earth's compass round
And your priesthood shall make earth
AHhakIo,oed ground.

The UNcnANuEA Lam D.
Things do not change in the East. As
Abraham pitched his tent in Bethel, so
does an Arab sheikh now set up his
camp; IS David built h g palace
mount Zion, so would Turkish pasha
now arrange bis house; in every street
may be seen the hairy children Of Esau,
squattng on h e ground, devouring a
mess of Ientils like that for which the
rough hunter sold hs brlhright; along
every road plod the sons OF Rechab, whose
fathers, one thousand years ago, bound
themselves and theirs TO drink no wine,
plant no trees, enter no door, and their
children have kept the oath; at every
khan young men sit around the pan of
parched corn, dipping their morsel into
the dish; Jobs plough is still used, and
the seed is still trodden into the ground
b y asses and kline; olives are shaken
from the boughs as directed by Isaiah
and the grating of trees is unchanged
since e days Of Saul. The Syrian
house is still, as formerly, only stone
tent, as temple was but a marble tent.
What is now seen in Bethany may be
iaken as the exact likeness of the house
Of Lazarus, where Mary listened d
Martha toiled, or as the house Of Simon,

nent was broken, and whence Judas set

THE CENTRAL AFRIcANs.-At a mis-,
sionary meeting lately held in England,
DR.. Livingston, the African explorer,
said ;
should like to answer question that
is often put to me, "What sort of people
are those you wander among z"
Now l should like to tell you that they
are very far from being savages. On
the sea coast they are rather blood-thirsty,
especially those who have been in the
slave-trade, but when you get about three
hundred miles into t h e interior, you
meet with people who are quite mild aud
hospitable. 1t is the duty of each man
in the village to give every stranger bis
supper, and to show him every hospitali-
ty which lies in his power. These 1eo
pie are not engaged in hunting, as most
inhabitants of this country think they are,
but are employed in cultivating the soil
They also manufacture iron, smelling it
from stone, and very excellent iron it is.
| brought home with me the last time
was in England some of the ore, and
the iron was manufactured into an excel
lent Enfield rife. The quality was ex-
ceedingly good, ard equal to the best
Swedish iron. They also manufacture
a superior quality of copper, also articles
Of eartbern ware and basket-work.
When we first go among this class Of
people, with the idea of their being sava-
yes, it is rather singular, but ] believe
rue, that they rather believe we are
,avages. They do not understand where
Ill the black people who are carried away
20 to. Thousands are taken away an
iually, and you cannot 60 anywhere
without meeting with slave parties. The
men carry what are called slave sticks,
With fork at the end Of them, which
ire fastened around the necks of the cap
ives, so that it is impossible for them to

CURE FOR DYsENTERY.--Dr. Paige
Of Washington, communicates to the Re-
Publican Of that city the following simple
remedy, long known in family practice,
and which was recently tried in the camp
OF the New York twenty-second regi-
ment, where there were from eighty to
one hundred cases daily, and with rapid
cures in every case In a tescup full
of vinegar, dissolve as much salt as it
will take Up, leaving little excess of
salt at the bottom OF the cup. Pour boil
ing water upon the solution till the cup
is two thirds full. A scum will rise to
the surface, which must be removed and
the stolution allowed to cool. Dose tea
spoonful three times day until relieved.
The rationale of the operation of this
simple medicine will readily occur TO the
orthologist, and in many hundred trials /
have never known it to fail in dysentery
and protracted diarrbea.

an old person approached; to be silent
when they spoke TO yield them the path
when they met them. With US what the

''This voice in silence dies"

as if they would never leave it. "This
