a contrast between the well. clad, reading,
writing, thinking American, with watch,
pencil, and a bin OF exchange in his
pocket, and the naked New Zealander,
whose property is club, a spear. mat,
and an undivided twentieth of a shed to
sleep under! But compare the health Of
the two men, and you will see that the
white man has lost his aboriginal strength.
Ii the traveller tells us truthfully,r strike
the savage with broad axe, in day or

you had struck the blow into soft pitch,
and the same blow shall send the white
man to his grave.
The civilized man has built coach,
out has lost the use of his feet He is
supported on crutcbes, but lacks support

refinement some energy, by christianity

OF the display. On going to his door he
saw with amazement the sky lit up with
| the falling neteors, and he concluded at
! once that the world was on fire, and that
the day OF judgment had come. He
stood for a moment gazing in speechless
terror at the scene, and then with yell Of
midst OF the falling stars, and there, in shis
efforts to dodge them, he commenced
series of ground tumblng that would have
/ done honor to a rope dancer. ...,,.fs
~ His wife, being awakened in the mean
time, seeing Peyton jumping and skipping
abous the yard, bawled ont to him to know

was DOM out thar dancin' round, without
his clothes on.' But Peyr ton heard not
The Judgment and long back accounts he
would have to settle made him needless, of
al! terrestrial things and his wife, BY this
time, becoming alarmed at his behavior,

door, tshrieked out at the top Of her voice
