The Emperor of Brazil has just liberated
the national slaves, the profits OF whose la
bors belonged to the Crown and large num-
| bers of the freedmen, we learn, have entered
the army, and are being forwarded in detach
ments to the seat of war. This looks like
the first step towards general emancipation
in Brazil-at least, it is so regarded by the
Abolition party of the empire.-Neso York
Tribune.
SMILEs.-What sunshine is to flowers,
smiles are to humanity. They are but trifes,
to be sure, but scattered along life's pathway
the good they do is inconceivable. A smile
accompanied by kind work, has been
known to reclaim poor outcast, and change
the whole current of a human life. Of all
lite's blessings none are cheaper, or more
easily dispensed than smiles. Then let us
not be too chary of them, but scatter them
freely as We go; for life is too short to be
frowned away.
A good anecdote is told of house painters
son, who used the brush dexterously, but
had acquired the habit of putting it on
thick. One day his father, after having fire.
quently scolded him for his lavish daubing,
and all to no purpose, gave him a severe
fiagellation. "There, you young rascal, " said
he, after performing the painful duty, chow
do you like that2" "Well, 1 don't know
dad, "whined the boy in reply, "but it seems
to me that you put it on thunderin' sight
thicker than l did !"
A celebrated French preacher, in sermon
upon the duty of wives, said: II see in this
congregation a woman who has been guilty
of the sin of disobedience to her husband,
and in order to point her out, I will fling
my breviary at her head" He lifted his
book and every female head instantly duck

The deepest coal mine in the world is sit
uated at Montwearmouth, England. The
workings are1 300 feet below the surface, and
extend for two miles under ground. At the
bottom of the shaft the heat ranges from 80
to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The British Museum has lately received a
series of specimens of the beautiful sponge
called Venus's flower basket (Euplectella
speciosuna). 1t is more like the work ofsome
lace-maker than a congeries or republic of
minute jelly like animals; and the thread of
which it is woven is 80 hard that it will
scratch glass.

delightfully."- in the mountains and glens in
Scotland. Play pibroch," said Napole-
on, and the Highlander played. play a
