Tue LATE KING or FABYssINfA.-The
odorc, or Theodorus, who claimed lincal
descent from solomon, was born of hum
bic parents, in place called Quand. on
the borders of Western Amhara. and was
educated in a convent, where he was
placed by his mother He was a daring.
reckless, warlikc youth, and some strong
restraint was required to keep the impetu-
Gus youth in due bounds He escaped
from the convent, and made his way to
Dcjalmetah Kasai, his uncle, who was
then in arms against the king. He be-
came imbued with warlike ideas, and,
after many vicissitudc,, finally became
King Of Abyssina.
He was "A man of great ambition and
considerable diplomacy, and succeeded III
pacifying or subduing the hostile chiefs
of the district. Some Of the more power
fHl chiefs held out, but after good deal
of fighting, and some keen diplomacy, he
made himself master of the situation, and
was crowned on February 9TH ls55 in
the Church of Marian Deresgie, by the
Abuna Salama King Theodore, was, on
the whole, the greatest ruler Abyssinia
has ever had; even, according TO English
accounts, he excelled in all manly pur-
suits and his general manner was polite
and engaging. Had he avoided his fool
ish quarrel with England, and proceeded
on the way of reform which he entered
upon in the beginning of his reign, he
would probably have played an impor-
tant part in the political regeneration of
Eastern Africa.

audience, while Mr., Church proved him
self a thorough scholar and an entire
master of his subject Mr. Gilbert also
evinccd a perfect knowledge of the life
of Caesar, and did much TO vindicate his
character and explain the motives OF
his conduct. The several parts Of the
Literary Conference, by H. S. Baker, on
the subject of "Novels," were well sus-
tanned, and the author labored to prove
the absurdity of condemning the works OF
our eminent authors, simply because they
are fictitious. The Poem, by Mr.. Mussey
was excellent, and the subject well chosen

"Not Worth a Straw"

Perhaps q straw is not 30 worth
less as you think. Let us look a
one for a few minutes. The stems
of wheat, rye, oats and barley are
straws. In order to wave through
and fro in the wind. and yet bear
up the heads Of grain, they must
be both light and strong. How is
lightness secured ? They are made
hollow, like small pipe, or tube;
and yet not wholly hollow through
the whole length, for every now
and then we find n knob, or joint,
which helps 10 brace up the sides
and make them strong. Up this
pipe the sap rises, passing through
the joints, which are porous or full
Of minute holes. Tho porous
joints filter and purify the sap,
which is for the formation and
nourishment OF the ear of corn
" hon the ear begins to ripon, and
the sap is no longer required, these
joints close, or contract, and they
harden; so that no more sap can
pass upward.
Fromthc joints tho leaves spring
forth, which, like arms, stretch
out to catch tho dew, and thus aid
