mother, who was at home, informed
the party that DIR. Livingstone had
passed through there, and that some
of the party subsequently returned.
The mother of the chief further pro-
duced a prayer-book, containing the
name of one of the doctors followers,
who had been left behind en- account
of lameness. The Johanna men had
represented this boy, who was named.
Waikatanee, as having deserted.
It appears that at this time
the boy was absent with the chief, so
that the exploring party had no
opportunity of personal interview
with him. The evidence which had
been obtained at so many different
points and from such a number of
witnesses satisfied Mr.. Young that
the object they had In view had been
obtained, and, acting upon the in
structions issued to them, they re-
solved to return. There appeared
not the slightest reason to doubt the
substantial correctness of the infor-
nation they had obtained, that Liv-
ingstone had passed safely through
the most dangerous portion of his
journey, and had made good his adj
vance into the interior, with an APP
parent intention of descending the
Nile into Egypt. They accordingly
descended the Shire, and in due time,
met with the Petrol, and returned to
Simon's Town. Mr.. Young and Cap
tain Faulkner return to England by
this days steamer, and we are GER
tain will there meet with a recep-
ton which the nature of their report
and their own enterprise and cour-
age entitle them to.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Frlghtful Prophecies

Concerning the End Of AL Things
Are made by relig Gus enthusiasts; and,
on the other hand, philosophers insist
that the centre of the earth is a mass of
fire that the poles of the earth will one
day be at the equator, and that the sun is
gradually fading! Talk like this very
terrible; but, pending such wholesale
calamitteS, it will be as well for each men,
Der of society to take care of his or her
health, and leave the rest to Providence.
The end comes prematurely to ali who
neglect the preservation of that tneSttm-
aUle blessing. suffer liver disease, dys-
pepsia, chronic constipation, or any other
ailment to take its course unchecked, and
it will assuredly shorten life. 1t cannot
be said that the means of protecting the
system against the predis osing causes of
disease are withheld. The constitutions
and physique of the least robust may De
so StIeD gthened and fortified by a course
of ROSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
as to render them all but invulneFable,
not only to the attacks of epidemic diSor-
ders, out also to the ordinary complaints
which prevail in all countries and at all
sea sons. If the immense importance of
PROTECTIVE MEDICATION were universally
understood. this Incompatible vegetable
antidote, which is already the m ost popu-
lar tonic in the world, would everywhere
be claSsed among the staples of life, and
no family would dare to be without 1t.
The time may arrive when this will be
the case, for every year adds hundreds of
thousands to the list of tn ose who use IT.

No Danger.

A hard-shell preacher, worthy man, lately
wound up flaming sermon with magnificent
effusion, by which his hearers were led to uu-
derstand that they were in no danger
"My brethren and sistern, if a mans full OF
religion you can't hurt him. There were three
African children; they put them in fiery
furnace, hetted seven times hotter than II could
be het, and ditdidn't swinge hair on their heads.

MISCELLANY.
Didn't Think.

Opening the door of friends house one
day, made my way through the entry to the
small back court, where Ned, the only son, was
crying bitterly.
"Ah, Ned, what is the matter p
"Mother won't let me go fishing. Harry
and Tom are going to the harbor, and l want
to GO" Here Ned kicked his toes angrily
against the post, to the great damage Of his
new boots.
"Whose little dog is this % | asked, as a
brown spaniel came bounding up the garden
walk.
at is mine," cried Ned in an altered tone.
"did you not know had one 2"
"No, indeed What a fine little fellow
Where did you get him, Ned ?"
Father bought him for me. He lis so know
ing, and teach him many things. See him
find my knife" and Ned, wiping away his
tears, threw his knife into the clover.
"There, Wag," said he, NOW go and find
my knife" Wag plunged into the grass, and
after great deal of smelling and wagging, he
came triumphantly forth, and brought the
knife to his young master.
"Give it to him." said Ned, pointing to
me; and Wag laid it at my feet.
"This is a knife worth having" said | /;
four blades"
"'Ts real good one" said Ned " father
gave it to me on my birthday; and he gave
me splendid box of tools, too" Ned looked
up brightly and forgot his crying.
Let me think" said l. "Was it this
knife that you hurt your foot so with ?"
ooh no" cried Ned, 4" that was done with
an axe but I've got well now.'
was afraid you would be laid up all the
spring"
"Well, it was mothers nursing, the doctor
says. Mother aud father took very great care
of me. 1t was lonely staying in the house so ;
but mother used to leave her work and read to
me, and father often stayed with me-"
al should think you had very kind parents,
Ned" The boy looked down on the floor, and
slight pout puckered his lip. " / suppose
there are none who have your interest and hap
piness so much at heart.
But want to go fishing, muttered Ned.
"Aud can't you trust them, Ned, aud will
ingy agree to their wishes? You may not,
indeed, know the reason why they object to
your going; but, from all your experience OF
their kindness and wisdom, are you not sure
that they would not cross your wishes without
good reason for doing so? And surrounded as
you are by so many proofs of their love, will
you sit there and murmur and cry, and fill
your heart with angry and stubborn thoughts
against them, because of this one little denial
of your wants. Is not this poor and migrate
full return for all their kindness? 1t is little
enough that a child can do for parent, but
that little he ought to do most cheerfully.
suppose the best return a child can make to
parents is a cheerful obedience. How small
that seems And will you grudge giving that,
Ned?"
Ned looked sober Tears started in his eyes
Oh, sir" said he humbly, 81 didn't think Of
it,"
Didn't think is at the bottom Of great
deal Of our ingratitude and murmuring against
both our earthly parents and our Father who
is in Heaven.

Life's Simile.

In life We start company complete
Parents and brethren, comrades, loyers-alll
Assembled round the social fountain, sweet,
We quat pure nectar, yet unmixcd with gall.
Exuberant is youth with hope and joy;
Fair looks the earth, sparkling with Maydew, wet
No storms have come-no shadows to destroy
The blissful harmony Of morn, as yet
Circle there is within circle, and OH
Each ones own self, at the charm'd centre seems,
Where all the hearts affections are sglow,
And loves bright smiles concentre all their beams
Yes. all are here-eould here forever live:
The home centre" is on the hitler side
To gaze across the stream, why should we strive
No lov'd ones on the hither shore resided
This Earth Elysum cannot long remain,
For Time brings separation and distress;
As link by link, Death snaps the social chain,
The closing circle must grow less and less.
Scarce has the sun reached the meridian sphere
Ere half have left Us for the Unveiled shore:
The circle there measures the circle here
We wish to stay, yet long to travel DER!
A lttle-yet a little-and the scales
Tilt down in favor of the spirit homei
The number gone. DER what remains, prevails
And angel brethren beckon US to come.
At last upon the Stygian brink there stands
An aged pilgrim, weary, sad and lone,
With supplicating eyes and outstretched hands,
Waiting to join those who before have gone.

The Live Man.

The Lire Nan is Ike little pig, he is wean-
Ell young aud begins to root airly.
He is the pepper sass of creation-she all
spice Of the world
One Lire Man in village il like case ov
itch at district school-he sets everybodyto to
scratching at ons..
A man who kin draw New Orleans molas-
siss in the month Of January, thru a half inch
auger hole, and sing Home sweet home"
while the moassiss IL running, may be strictly
honest but he amt sudden enough for this
climate.
The Live Man IL az full Of buzziness as the
conductor ov a street ksr-he iz often like
hornet, very buzzy, but about what the Lord
only knows.
He lights up like cotton faktory, and haiat
got emmy more time to spair than skoOlboy
has Saturday afternoon.
He IL like decoy duck, always abuy water
and lives at least Is months during each year.
lie IL ike runaway horse, he gets the whole
ov the road.
He trots when be walks, and lies down at
night only because everybody else haz.
The live man is not always deep thinker
he jumps at conclusions just like the dog duz.
and don't always land at the spot heizlookins
at.
He IL the American pet, perfect mis,ery
tew foreigners but haz dun more with char
coall tew work out the greatness oy this coua-
try than emmy other man in it.
He il jest az necessary as the grease on an

Time Does It.

Time has wonderful power in taking the
concet out Of persons. When young man
first emerges from school and enters upon the
career of life, it is painfully amusing to witness
his self-snfieiency-he would have all the
world to understand that he has "learned out
that he is master of all knowledge, and can
unravel all mysteries. But as be grows older,
he grows wiser, be learns that he knows great
deal less than he supposed he did, and by the
time he reaches three score years, be is pre-
pared to adopt as lis own the sentiment Of
John Wesley =" When l was young l was
sure Of everything; in few years, having been
mistaken thousand times, ! was not half as
sure Of most things as was before. Atpresent
l am hardly sure Of anything but what God
has revealed TO man."

Cure for Collie in Horses.

"Turfman, in the Americdn Stock journal,
gives the following remedy A great many
valuable horses are annually killed by being
drenched with various medicines recommended
by quacks. Let me tell your readers the best
remedy for either flatulent OF spasmodic cole
that | have ever seen tried. 1t is to give CO.
pious injections of warm water to move tho
bowels, and when that is done your horse Is
safe. have seen many horses cured 10y this
treatment, and none killed. All so treated
have speedily recovered If drenching will be
persisted in, take handful Of ground ginger
and put it in quart Of water, and let 1t boil
for fifteen minutes, and when it cools pour II
down the throat of the horse. This warns the
stomach and bowels, and is an excellent rene
dy. Let any person violently attacked with
collie, drink ginger tea, thus prepared, and he
will find speedy relief. And what is good ioF
man in sickness is good for horse with the
same sickness. Man is an animal, as well as
horse; and medicines good for the disease OF
one arc good for the disease Of the other. tho

lowing appears valuable For one pound Of
coffee take one egg and beat it well When
the coffee is nicely Drowned and cool enough
not to cook the egg, pour the egg over it, stir
ring it until every kernel is coated with var
nish. and let it stand few minutes in warm

WHEN TO FIsH.-An old fisherman says II
a man wants to catch fish whenever he visits
the creek, let him not pick the full moon days
to do it in. He gives philosophical reason
for the advice. lie states that when the moon
is full, the nights being bright, enable the fish
to do all their foraging in the night time. VI
course. having all their wants supplied, they
lay up all day, and consequently there is a
scarcity of bites. Under new neon season,
the fish sleep at night and work by day, which
makes difference in the fshermans string.

TESTING BEFORE TAKING.-One cold disa-
greeabe daya farmer, peddling potatoes in one
of our back streets, was hailed by an lrishman
who was in want of peck or so. Feeling in-
competent to make so large purchase, he took
a few quarts from wagon to show his wife
who was in shanty hard by, and who was to
decide the matter. The farmer sat shivcring
in the wind long time, expecting every mo-
ment the rc-appearance of the buyers, but no
one appeared. At last, in answer to the farm
er's call. the man raised the window and an
swered the freezing countryman that report
would be made in a minute. Our man of po-
tatoes. after waiting the minute over num-
Der of times, concluded to end the matter by
one more yell.
This brought to light the lady Of the house,
who expressed great astonishment at the ped
dler's impertinence. She exhorted him to be
more Job-like, and closed by asking him to
wait another minute as tke praties were most
billed and, if good, they might take some.
