The River Amazon.

Prof. AGAssIz has returned from his Bra-
lillian expedition, and few nights ago lee.
tured on the Natural Features of the ANA
zon Basin," to the Young Mons Christian
Association of Boston. He said
The country of the Amazon is so different
from any we are familiar with that it de-
serves careful examination. 1t is one vast
plain, with no hills interrupting the view.
The Amazon flows 1000 mileB through a
valley | 200 miles wide. This valley is a
low plain, it's slope not exceeding $50 feet,
the river, in 1900 miles, having a descent OF
only 2l0 feet. The mouth of the Amazon
is l60 miles wide, and the muddy water of
tho river can be seen at sea long before the
land is visible; and it even tinges the blue
of deep water. The snow in the Andes be-
gins 10 melt in August and September, but
il is not until June that the Amazon is
highest. But the principal part of the water
of this river does not come from the Andes,
but frcm the vast basin which it drains.
And this water does not all come at the
same time, but the northern rivers arc swell.
ing when the southern ones are empty, aud
the southern ones swell when the northern
ones are empty. There is about 90 feet
difference in tho hight Of the river, and the
country being 80 low, of course 1t is entirely
submerged at tihies and the natives traverse
the entire forest in their boats. The narrow
passage between the trees they call boat

The waters of the main stream aro whs

is large amount OF milk, and this color is
visible fifty miles beyond its mouth. All
the tributaries that rise in the mountains
are of The same color, but those that have
their source ia the forests have a black
tnsc, the Rio Niger being nearly the color
of ink. Although this large river enters
the Amazon, yet il has no pereeptible effect
upon the colcr Of the latter.
The climate Of the Amazon basin Is de-
ightful, ranging from 70 to 92 degrees u
is most healthy, yet no country has a worse
reputation; and this is caused by the mlsrt p
reservations of the people and former rulers
OF that section. The Whites degrade the
Indians aud themselves in order TO make the
former serve them He had seen white

THE REJECTED BANK NOTE.

What is the price of this dressing
gown, sir 2" asked q sweet.faced girl, ell
tering the elegant store of Hunlley Il War
ner, in a city, and street of city, which
shall be'nameless.
1t was cloudy day. The clerks lounged
over the counter and yawned. The man to
whom Alice Lock addressed herself was
jaunty and middle.aged. He was head
clcrk of the extensive establishment of
Huntley & Warner, and extremely conse-
quential-in manner.
This dressing gown we value at six
dollars-you shall have it for five as trade
is dull to-day"
Five dollars r. Alice looked at the dress
ing gown longingly, and'the clerk looked
at her. lie saw that her clothes, though
made and worn genteelly, were common
enough in texture, and that her face was
very much out Of the line. How it changed,
how shaded how lighted by the varied
play of her emotions. The clerk could
have sworn that she had no more than that
sum, FIVE dollars in her possession.
The gown was very good one for the
price. 1t was of common shade, tolerable
nerino, and lined with the same material.
/ think she hesitated moment; Il
think I'll take it" she said. Then seeing
in the face before her an expression she
did not like, she blushed as she handed out
the bill the clerk had made mp his mind to
take.
"Jennis," cried Torrent, the head clerk,
in quick pompous tone, pass up the note
detector."
Up ran the toe.headed boy with the de.
tector, and down ran the clerks eye from
column to column. Then lie looked over
with sharp glance, and exclaimed:
"Thats counterfeit bill.
Counterfeit Oh, not cannot be The
man who sent it could not have been so
careless you must be mistaken, sir"
81 am not mistaken am never mis-
taken, Miss. | must presume. OF course,
that you did not know il, although so much
bad money has been offered rs of late that
we intend TO secure such persons as pass it,
Who did you say sett in"
Mr.. c.. sir, OF New York. lie could
not send me bad money, said the trembling
| frightened girl.
@Humphl said the clerk. w ell there g
no doubt Of this you can look for your
self. Now don't let me see you here again
until you can bring good money, for we al
ways suspect such persons as you that
come on dark days with well made
story"
q but, sir"
"You need make no explanations, Miss.
said the man insultiugly. Take your bill
and tho next time you want to buy dress
| ing gown, don't try to pass your counterfeit
money" and as be handed it, the bill fell
from his hands.

NJ x. W. y. CANNING.


From tho savannahs of the South. where oeboiug
afar, =
Came floating To our northern homes the NUT
tered threats Of war,
When treason reared its rampant front, and barred
its murderous arm,
And swore upon our country Gag TO deal disgrace
In snxiOus quest said every heart, "whal mean
We thus 10 dot"
while sorrow shame and augor vexsd the loyal
and the true.
But when by PsTTricidal hands 'sainst sumter's
Was aimed. at length, the tocsin gun, and sped
the fatal ball;
When downward from its glorious hight above
the oceans swell
The nations starry standard sheet before rebel
lion fell;
0 then from every northern home burst wrath
and grief anew,
And poured from every northern home the gall
liant "Boys in Blue!"
From Maine, where patriotism rocks her cradle
meath the pines,
To far Nebraska, on whose verge the "star of
empire" shines,
Swarmcd the brave sons of 76-a hero, every
man
Old Massachusetts,, thanks to God, still foremost
in the van;
Burned in their breasts the sacred fires Of Lex
ington anew,
And flashed along the steel they bore those gall
liant Boys in Blue |"
Once more among old Berkshiro's hills was heard
the rolling drum,
As when brave Stark to Bennington our yeomen
bade to come;
Thro' HOusatonic's quiet wales ran Freedoms
trumpet call
p" The country needs her stalwart sons Hol
rally, one and ALL"
And round the flag there mustered not, in all the
country thro,
A nobler host Of patriot souls than Bcrkshire's
"Doys in Blue"
Stern was the struggle, fierce aud long, on many
crimsOned field,
Ere Treason's venomed serpent did to freedoms
eagle yield;
Ahl / many brother. son and sire who trod the
battle-plain,
Their tranquil homes among these bills shall
never sec againl
Yet not a martyrs dying words his early doom

For in their country's cause they died-thosc

On Gettysburg's immortal field, in the dark
Wilderness,
And by Antieten,.s side they met tho bullets
deadly kiss
Old Mississippi's distant shores know their devo-
ton well,
And the Potomac and the James yet murmur
where they fell
And Anderson, whose damning wrongs still haunt
the living few,
For aye to our remembrance brings our gallant
"Boys in Blue"
And fitting It's the storied rock should bear their
record high,
To teach our children's children how true pa
triots can die
While freedoms bird in sculpture bold shall

AS his eternal watch he keeps DER each beloved

Bright as the mornings early beams and fresh

Shall live in every loyal heart our fallen Boys

AFRAID Of die ItcIl.

Pete MILESTONE, of Arkansas, was once
travelling on horseback through the inte-
rior of the State, aud called one evening, to
stay all night, at little log house near the
road, where entertainment and postoffice
were Kept. Two other strangers were
there, and the mail rider rode up just about
dark. Supper being over, the mail carrier
and the three gentlemen were invited 10 a
small room furnished with good fire and
two beds, which were to accommodate the
four persons for the night. Tho mail car.
rier was little shabby, dirty looking
wretch, with whom none Of the gentlemen
liked ths idea Of sleeping. Pete MILESTONE
eyed him closely, as he asked:

the youth, "or one o them other felers, |

The otlieG two gentlemen took the hint,
and occupied one OF the beds together i'm
nediately, leaving the other bed and the
conlsb TO be enjoyed by Pete aud the mail
boy together as best they could. Pete and
the boy commenced hauling of their duds,
and Pete getting in the bed frsi and wish
ing to get rid of sleeping with the boy, re-
marked very earnestly:

LIVE ABOVE THE WORLD.

The dove let loose in eastern skies,
Returning fondly home,
Ne'er stoops to earth her wing, nor flies
Who're idle warblers roam
But high she shoots through air and light
Above all low delay:
Where nothing earthly bounds her fight,
Nor shadow dims her way.
So grant me Lord, from every stain
Of sinful passions free,
Aloft, through virtues purer air,
To steer my course to Thee
No sin to cloud, no lure TO stay
My soul, as home she springs;
Thy sunshine on her joyful way,
4 Thy Freedom on her wings.
