nr. Livingstone.

Sir Roderick Murchison has heard
from Mr.. Young, who commands the
vingstone search expedition. On the
26th July, the party had been convey
ed to the Kongohi, mouth of the river
Zambesi, in her majesty's ship Petrol,
Commander Gordon, and were about
to cross the bar in their steel boat on
the following day, They had been
abundantIy Supplied with all necessa
ries by the naval authorities at the
cape. The expedition had been strength
ened by the addition of two Kroomen
and an English stoker from the Petrol.
Mr.. Young brought from the cape two
negro youths who had been tormerly y
liberated from slavery by Livingstone,
and who, it was believed, would be OF
good use as interpreters.
After describing the great changes
which have taken place in relation to
land and water at the mouths Of the
Zambesi. the entrance of the east Lug
bo being completely changed, and
Pearl Island disappeared, the letter
thus concludes: Il have not altered
my views respecting the probable time
of our return to the mouth of the Fam
besi, and have written to the senior
officer at the cape for ship to meet
us there on the 1st Of December. In
conclusion, am happy to state that as
far as L can Judge, we are supplied with
everything we can need, are all IN the
enjoyment of perfect health, and look
forward confidently to successful ac
compHshment of our undertaking.

Long Credits.

A rich man was asked to contribute
to certain benevolent work, and the
solicitor quoted the text, He that Civ
eth to the poor lendcth to the Lord,
and that which he hath given will he
pay him again
The merchant replied, with a smile,
Your security is no doubt good, and
your interest liberal, but | do not like
to lend on such long credits, and he
cooIly bowed the collector out.
Alas, the day Of settlement was not
so far off to this poor rich man. In
two short weeks he was called to his
last account. And so the day of our
death seems far off to all of us We
are reckoning on long credits still,
when one messenger after another has
1 been sent to warn us that our term of
stewardship was drawing to close
/ When we see one and another cut
down suddenly about us, it leaves but
a transient impression on our minds
and hearts. We think that a like ca
lamity will never come to us. How
fearful the surprise, too often, when a
sudden summons calls the soul to stand
before its judge.
A young man in the full flush OF
health was suddenly thrown from a
carriage, andso severely injured, he was
taken in house near at hand, and a
physician Immediately called.
I The first question the youth asked
as he fixed his eye piorcingIy upon
him, was,
Sir, must die? Must die? Dc
not deceive me in this matter
The physician informed him that hC
could not live an hour.
Then his whole soul awakened to {
full sense Of the dreadful reality.

hour? And | have made no prepara
ton for such an event. | knew thai

handkerchief FIirtations.

Some genius has recently reduced to
a system the popular habit of getting
up fiirtations by means of handker,
chiefs. The language of flowers is out
of date 1t is too elaborate and round
about a mode of conveying the tender
emotions. Commend US to the hand
kerchief. The use of it is so handy so
natural, and so easily acquired, that
any one who has tried it will at once
perceive its advantages over the old
complicated system. The handker
chief, too, is Suggestive in connection
with flirtations. Think ofthe troubles
that poor Desdemona got into by not

A widow, Mrs Blankenship, living
near Bowling Green, Ky, went to a
run to wash, taking with her her en-
tire family, two little sons and a baby
daughter, followed by their dog. The
dog ran off a short distance into the
woods, and began barking furiously.

He watched her playful fingers

The clerks looked quite uneasy,
And nodded at the boss.

ssa- A washing machine has
been invented by Westerner, which
is thus described: The machine pro-
per comprises a box sixteen inches long,
ten inches wide, and twelve feet (for
water) two sets of brushes, lever and
"a crank. The dishes are placed on a
slide worked by the lever and are low
cred between the brushes, which are
moved backward and forward as brisk
ly as may be required. By peculiar
construction Of the wooden backs of
these brushes a current of water is
continually thrown against the dishes,
sufficient to clean them of any ordi.
nary substance, and the brushes are
sure to remove any other article that
may have adhered to them.

OUR FIRESIDE.

Rich Autumn, With her golden store
May count her treasure DER and DER,
And say such wealth did ne'er before
The land betide;
And fruits and flowers, and yellow sheaves
Are gathered in, and sIthered leaves
Are all the travellers eye perceives
In prospect wide -
But give to me the sheltered room,
Where neither minds nor seasons gloom
Can blight our Joyous mental bloom
BY our tireside!
How sweet to ramble through some book,
Or chat with friefds in social nook,
With children round, on whom TO look
With honest pride,
And then to have the meeting crowned
With some old ditty's cordial sound,
Or sit and hear the tale go round,
Or aught beside
Which may the passing hour engage
or life we'll con the varied page,
And hope for happy, good old age

A Snake an a Boys Stomach. boy
aged eight years, son of Benjamin
Whistler, residing in Mifilin township,
a short distance from Newville, Cum
berland county, has been seriously af-
f1lcted for some time past on account
Of having a living snake in his stom-
ach. The presence of the young rep
tile was discovered about two years
ago, and by rapid growth it has at
tanned size that renders it very pain

assembled at the family residence last
week and held consultation, when it
was decided that the only manner in
which the reptile could be removed
was by cutting open the stomach OF
the sufferer. The boy has not taken
any food except sweetmeats and new
milk for more than year past, and
