EXECUTION OF AN F.LEpnANT.-An
American circus has been travelling about
Switzerland with great success this sum-
mer, but at Friburg, last month, the male
elephant, over fatigued by the constant
marching, and irritated by the rough treat
ment Of his keeper, suddenly seized his
keeper and tossing him to great hight,
on his fall crushed his chest with his foot
before any assistance could be Afforded
As it is generally understood that after
once killing man these animals are dam
gerous, the director of the circus decided
upon having it killed, and for that pur-
pose applied to the authorities Of Friburg
for piece Of cannon. This was granted,
and the animal having been enticed into
favorable position, the gun was fred,
and the brute fell dead.

CoLD DRINKS IN HoT WEATHER.
A writer who recently applied to a ply
sician for an opinion on the subject, as to
what to drink during the warm season,
says:
Ginger" said the doctor, " / consider
the very best article, most easily procured
and least expensive for all persons to en-
ploy. BY its proper use they may have
cold water in abundance, and at the same
time avoid mos, if not all, the i'll effects
produced by the cooling denominations a
great many people pour down their throats
this hot weather. Tel your readers" con-
tinued the physician, to buy few ounces
of powdered ginger, and every time they
are thirsty let them mix half teaspoon
ful in the cold water they intend to drink.
If spoonful of sugar or molasscs is add
ed, it win do no harm. Extract of Gin
ger may also be employed by those who
prefer the article in a liquid form. A
bottle of the extract should be placed
near the ice pitcher or cooler, and when
people drink let them pour teaspoonful
of the extract in their uumbler, before fl
ling it with water. For my use" said the
doctor, Il prefer the powdered article
because it acts more benefcially. In the
West Indies this root is considered one
of the best preventives for the summer
complaints of the tropics, when it is prop
erly used, and is not abused"

relates the following incident:
"On Sunday evening it was my fortune

eyes, with their beetling brows, and the
massive forehead above, brought back to

strange pathos and sorrow, though the
voice was touched with trcmulous tri-

The following beautiful passage is from

The following beautiful passage Is from
the pen Of DR.. Guthrie
Home! To be home is the wish Of the
seamen on stormy seas and lonely watch.
Home is the wish of the soldier, and ten
der visions mingle with the troubled,dre
OF trench and field. Where the palm tree
waves its graceful plumes, and birds Of
jeweled lustre flash and flicker from
among gorgeous flowers, the exile sits
staring upon vacancy; a far-away home
lies heavily upon his heart, and, borne by
the wings Of fancy over the intervening
seas and lands, he has swept away to
home, and hears the lark sing above his
fathers field, and sees his fair-haired
brother, with light foot and childhood's
glee, chasing the butterfly by his native
stream.
And in his best hours, his home, his
own sinless home, home with Fathers
above that starry sky, win be the wish of
every true Christian man. He looks
around him--the world is full of suffer-
ing he is distressed by its sorrows and
vexed by its sins. He looks within him
-he finds much in its corruption to grieve
for. In the language of heart repelled,
griyed, vexed, he often turns his eyes up
ward, saying, ! would not live always" !"
No; not for all the gold Of the worlds
mines, not for all the pearls Of her seas
not for all the pleasures of the frothy
cup, not for all the crowns of her king
doms, would / live always. Like bird
about to migrate to those sunny lands
where no winter sheds the SHOWS, or strips
the grove, or binds the streams, he will
often, in spirit, be pluming his wing for
the hour of his flight to glory.

Marriage in Egypt.

When an Egyptian wants wife, he IS
not allowed to visit the harems OF his
friends to select one, for Mohammed for
bade men to see the face of any woman
they could marry, that is to say, any be-
sides their mother or sisters. A man is,
therefore, obliged to employ a khatbeh,"
or matchmaker, to find one for him, for
which service of course she expects
g backsheesh"-that is, payment. The
khaibeh, having found girl, recommends
her to the man as exceedingly beautiful,
and eminently suitable to him. The faith
er is then waited upon to ascertain the
dowry he requires for all wives are pur-
chased, as they were in patriarehal days.
When Jacob had no money to pay for
Rachel, he served her father seven years
as an equivalent; and when duped, was
obliged to serve second term to secure
his prize. (Gen. xxix.) Fathers still
refuse to give younger daughter in mar
riage before an elder shall have been mar
ried. The people in Armenia, in Asiatic
Turkey, forbid a younger son to marry
before an elder; and this is likewise the
law of the Hindoos.
