ped Mt an elegant brick dwelling-house,

He was received by stiff, well-drossed
lady. who could be well recognized as a
widow of some years standing.
On learning the mission OF her visitor,
the lady invited him to take . seat In the
hall. Having arranged himself into a
working position. he inquired for the
number Of persons in the family OF the
lady. -.....--- -..-..-

The Upas Tree.

We have received two letters inquiring
whether the familiar account Of the Upas
tree (or the utopia tree" rs we once
heard 1t called in sermon from city
pulpit) Is true or not. Tho story q
mere fable. which first gained credonce
In Eurole the narrative Of Focrsch. n
surgeon in tho Dutch East India Com
pany's service, published about the middle
!. of the last century. He described the
tree rs poisoning the air OF the whole
valley where II grew. so that neither AMI
nal nor vegetable could live there. But
when Deschamps and Leschenault visited
Java, they found that this deadly tree
flourished only where vegetation was most
luxuriant, and that itw haunted by birds
and insects. In another part Of Java,
there Is q narrow valley where neither
animal nor vegetable life can exist, bnt
this Is owing to the exhalatiOn of carbonic-
acid gas from an old volcanic crater.
Upas Is Mala word meaning poison, and
Is applied to u variety of vegetable prod.
nets. The proper name of the so-called
Upas tree Is the antiar or antiar lthe an
tiaris toricaria of LeschenaulD which
grows in many parts Of the Sunda ana
PHILIPPINE Islands.
Ills very beautiful tree. and some,
times grows to tho height Of q hundred
feet. From its milky juice. mixed with
black pepper and the juices OF certain
roots, the Malays prepare poison Tor
their arrow. which Is very prompt and
virulent In It's action. Cloth Is sometimes
made from tho flbrous bark Of tho antiar.
but unless the fiber has been thor .ughly
cleansed. Il produces a painful itching
when worn next the skin.
Since writing the above, we have met
with an account of this tree In Pouche''s
Universe. He states that the juice Is not
poisonous unless introduced beneath tho
skin. While Ieschenault was examining
one of these trees which he had cut down,
the exudat on from the broken branches
flowed over his face aud his hands, but
without injuring him. But eight drops OF
the Juice injected into the veins Of q horse
killed It directly; and criminals have bcen
known to die In five or six minutes after
being pricked In tho breast with lancet
dipped In the juioe.-Joursal Of Chemistry.

O, crickets, hush your boding song!
know the truth Il makes 80 plain
Ys say that Autumn dies ere long,
And soon that winters wrath and wrong
viii chill the pallid world again.
O. mouruful wind Of midnight, cease
To breath your Low. prophetic sigh;
Too dearly for my spirits peace
see the mellow days decrease,
And feel December drawing nigh.
Fali silently. October rain,
Nor lAke that vailing uudertone-
Nor beat 80 loudly on the pane
The sd monotooous refrain,
which tells the summer time hath hown-
he charter of your eoldea days,
o goldeuest month Of all the throug'
Oh pour less lAvishly your rays!
Hoard carefully your purple hase
30 hsply u may last more long
Spendthrift October ! Art thou wise,
Who wastest in thy pleuteous primo
More beauty on the earth and skies,
Mere hue and glow than would suffice
To brighten sll the winter timef
Yes-better Autumn, al delight,
And then winter Ill anblsst,
Than months Of mingled dark and bright,
or fsdel tints and pallid light,
Imperfect dreams and broken rest.
All. better II our life could know
One wholly happy, perfect year,
One time Of eloudless Joy and GLOW
And then It's days Of rayless woo
Than this commingled hope and fear.
This doubt and dread which usught consoles
which marks our brows ere manhood's prime
This dark eternity that rolls
Like chariot wheels scros our souls,
And makes M old before our time.
SO pour ycur light, October skies,
O fAircst skies which ever Are
Pat on, o Earth, your bravest dyes,
And smile, although the cricket cries,
And winter thrratens from AFR.

soldiers march in "Faust.' played by Miss
N. A. Ansell.
1t is hardly necessary TO say that the large
audience, strangers and all, were exceed
ingly grati6ed with the mornings exercises.
Evening DedicAtory Exercises.
At halt. past seven O'Clock in the evening
the dedicatory exercises were opened with
music by the choir of the chapel, and 0y an
invocation by the Rev. MIR. Colman.
Colonel Mason followed with An address
in transferring the University real estate
and property from the United States gov
erament to the American Missionary Asso,
citation. We regret that want OF tins ana
space prevents the publication OF th@ ad-
dress in our present issue.
An answering address was made by Rev.
Mr.. Healy, accepting the transfer oE behalf
of the association, Of which the reverend
gentleman is agent. We are compelled, for
the reason given above, from incorporating
this address in our present article. After Mr..
Healy's address, short speeches were made oy
Mr.. Sauvinet, Senator Pinchback and Post
master Lowell, all having reference to the
progress of education, particularly among
the colored population.
Between the addresses the choir sung sew
eral appropriate odes. and the exercises
were closed with prayer by. Rev. John
Turner. The place was crowded with an
intelligent audience, who, no doubt, de-
parted with enlarged views OF their dutles
in relation to the spread of education, and
gratifed with the progress already Wede.

THE RESULT OF PASSION. The Philadel-
phia Ledger selects an extreme case to Illus
trate a homily on the evil of human passion.
"A notable example," it says, "of the evil
results of giving way to passion was wit
messed in the Court Of Quarter Sessions on
Tuesday. married woman, the wife of an
industrious mechanic, the mother OF two
infant children, was sentenced to two years
imprisonment for an attempt to avenge a
fancied injury to her husband by burning
out the eyes of another man with vitriol. 1t
was a terrible example of the evil Of ungov-
erned passion-a marked instance OF the
mischief done by listening to idle rumor ana
gossip-for the man who was supposed 10
have done the injury was innocent, and a
most distressing case in every particular,
for the husband of the unfortunate woman
was with her. vainly trying to comfort herln
her fearful affiction, and she with her httle
children clinging to her knees, ss the two
years doom of Imprisonment Was pro-
nounced by the Judge"

The following anecdote is told Of DR..
Cabarrus. the great homeopathic physician,
who has just died in Paris. Mile. Julia Bar
ron was out of sorts and sent for him.
"What's the matter ~ asked the doctor.
"Oh, hardly know myself" she replied;
"my spirits are terribly unequal. Some
times I am greatly elated and then sud
denly sink into the deepest melancholy"
After moments reflection Cabarrus said
gravely, 6" am afraid there is but one way
to cure you."
"What is it ?" she inquired eagerly.
"You must get married." he replied with
mirthful twinkle of the eye, but still keep
ing a grave face. ,.,
Swell" said Mile. Barron after little
hesitation, followed by long drawn sigh ol
relief; perhaps you ere right. Would you
marry me?'
MA chere," replied Cabarrus blandly
"the doctor prescribes, but he doesn't taxi
his own medicines"

We have some curious statistics from
French author writing on contemporary wars
as to what it costs to kill man. Heetakes
the whole expenditure of money for each
war; and divides that by the number of men
killed on the field, or whose death was ow-
ing directly to the war. In the Crimean
war, where many were congregated in close
quarters, he estimates that 100000 were
Killed at the cost OF 81 ,165 per man. Put
ting the deaths in our late war at 29l 600,
which is rather low estimate. each death
was purchased st cost of Sl6,72 In the
late Mexican and South American wars, the
expense for killing man WAS $4,000. In
the Danish war $500 lives were lost at an
average OF SIG, 900. In the Austro-Prussian
campaign of 1866, which ended at Sadowa,
s55u0 was the price per death. II will
thus be seen that it cost tbs government
mora rs extinguish one life than any of the
