The Nuisance of Bad Servants.

Mr.. EDITOR I'm all parts of the civ.
ilized world, it has been the custom. from
time immemorial, to require of servants
seeking employment, certificate OF
character from their last employers, tes-
tifying to their good behaviour and their
competency for the discharge of such du-
ties as they offer to perform. Among
US, servants have been heretofore, and
still are, hired upon heir own representa-
ton of themselves; and in consequence
of this, their employers are doomed to
perpetual disappointment, and in The
course of short time. discover that they
are wholly unskilled in the service they
contract to render, and equally destitute
of those moral perfections, which so
thundered in the index" Many are
found to be thievish, or addicted to vices,
which render their departure blessed
riddance. Besides the great annoyance
caused to Masters and Mistresses, by
omitting to demand certificate in every
case of hiring, the omission operates
greatly to the prejudice OF good servants,
who are excluded from service, by The
ease with which bad servants are enabled,
Upon their own self commentator, to
obtain places. Let certificate of good
character and competency be required
by the employer,.in every case of hiring,
and we venture to predict no little i'm
provement in their domestic comfort. A
word to the wise, &c. ClVIS.

AHorrible Cannibal Story.

A horrible tragedy heretofore briefly
mentioned) is reported from the Island
of Fejee, South Seas. The Rev. Thomas
Baker, with an assistant missionary and
six native teachers, went to visit some
island tribes, and he and his party were
brutally murdered by one of the tribes,
who are described as the most confirmed
cannibals. The writer says:
sin this town (Longtown) there lives
notorious cannibal, with whom had a
little conversation. He pointed me 10 q
pile of human bones in the fork of an
orange tree under which we were sitting,
and assured me that he had eaten the men
of which each bone there was repre-
sentative, and that he had kept these
bones as a m, lento of his cannibalism.
Many other things did this inhuman 7retch
make known to me, and his countenance
and more than ordinarily worn teeth only
helped to convince me that he had liter
ally been bone. .crusher. To have lis
tened to this mans statements, and told.
too, in the presence of those who could
have contradcted them if false, would
have removed forever from the minds of
some the idea that Fejeeans are not low
ers of human flesh. This vile cannibal
declared that, as for eating, nothing was
comparable to human flesh, not even fowls
or pork"
The main fact in the above statement
is confirmed by the letter of gentleman
formerly of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, to a
brother in Cincinnati, dated Leonka, Ova-
Ian, Fejee, September 2nd. 1867. We
make the following extract:
Our native population, too, have been
indulging themselves in csnni5al feast,
almost unprecedented in the annals OF
cannibal Fejee. There is district in the
largest island Of the group of which little
is yet known. White men have crossed
over or through it, but it was never con.
sidered safe. About two months ago one
of the Wesleyan missionaries, with some
what of bravado spirit, determined to
penetrate into the stronghold of heathen-
ism, by their leave or no. He took with
him ten of the Christian natives Of coast
tribes, and marched boldly on, from town
to town, through heathendom, though he
was warned by the people, time and
again, that he would be killed if be went
further on. Still he went on; and when
in the midst of the district they set upon
him and his followers and killed all but
one of the natives, who escaped by more
of chapter of accidents in his favor than
otherwise, to tell the horrible tale. The
dead bodies were all piled up, pow-wow
was held over them by the heathens, and
then they were distributed for cooking,
the ruling chief keeping Mr.. Baker and
one native for his own private palate.
The coast is in furore. The old king
is making preparations to kill, hang and
quarter the interior tribes, and sell ont
the district to white settlers for cotton
growing. Hundreds, or thousands, per.
baps, will be sacrificed to ayenge the mis-
sionary's death.

i Human Being With Nothing to do.

, Most miserable, worthy of profound
pity, is such q being. The most mag

with sparkling murmur of delight. The

and their life gushes forth in harmonic
work. Oh, plant! oh, stream! worthy
of admiration, or worship, to- the wretched

to bathe' with the wide tide of affection
ahead to work, but no work to be done !;
talents .unexercised and capacities nnde-
veloped; human life thrown away
wasted as water poured forth in the desert.
Birds and flowers, ye are gods to such a
mockery of life! WHO can describe the
fearful void of such an existence, the
yearning for an object, the selfreproach
for wasted powers, the WEAKNESS of daily
life, the loathing of pleasure, of frivolity,
and the fearful consciousness of deadening
life-of asspiritual paralysis which him

enthusiasm ceases to arouse, and noble
deeds no longer call for the tear of Joy,
when the world becomes blank, humani.

THINGS THAT LAsT.-Let us now look
at some of those things that twill never
wear out"
have often heard poor blind girl
sweetly sing, "Kind words will never
die" All! we believe that these are
among the things that "will never wear
out" And we are told in Gods own
book to be "kind to one another, tender
hearted, forgiving one another"
The word of the Lord will never wear
out. Though the grass shall wither, and
the flowers fall away, the word of the
Lord endureth for ever. -1-Petcr i. "a,
25.
The life of the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world
to come as long as God shall live; but
the death of the wicked will last for ever.
The joys of the kingdom of Heaven
will never wear out The pleasures of
this world soon die; but the enjoyments
of that world will never have an end.
The crown of glory will never wear
out. The crown of the winner in the
Olympic games soon faded; the crowns
of kings will all wear out; but the crown
of glory will never fade away.
The "new song" will never wear out.
We hear sometimes that some of our
tunes are worn threadbare; but that will
never be said Ct the new song.
Which will you choose? The lasting,
orthat which wastes away? the things
of time, or of eternity? VIII you choose
wealth, honor, fame, or the joys of Heav-
en-. eternal life, the crown of glory, and
the "new song 2" May God enable us
to make wise choice; and, with Joshua,
may we choose to serve the Lord.
