Among savage clan
OF canniballsh people
A missionary man
Set up his modest steeple.
And there each day he would
Pursue his noble iabois;
He told them 10 be good,
Aud babe them love their neighbors.
The canuibals, with grins,
Gave ear to themes he treated;
They crossed their iawny Sims,
And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost
That missionary's labors-
He taught them to his cost
The way 10 love their ncighbors.
For one day, wheL at prayers,
These cannibals they met him,
They caught HIM unawares-
They killed HIM and they ale him!
They said they found him good
He'd practicej what be taught them
And now they Understood
The goodness he had brought them.
And when they filed each NAV,
They said, while they deplored him,
"They loved him-live and raw
But roasted they adored him I"

a SAD SToRY.--To those members of
the conference now in session who feel in
clined to go off TO far counteries and
preach the gospel, VIC would suggest u
pause, so that they may come to full
appreciation of the dangers that lie in the
missionary's pathway. Among the horr-
BILE cannibals no chickens roam expectant
Of mastcation by good and true ministers,
but cannibalish people do roam with teeth
that water for mouthful of missionary.
Oar duty as great religious journal re-
quires us to give this warning, which may
be impressed by the following sad story
that has drawn tears to eyes all unused
to the melting mood:

They are, for the time being, separated

The efficacy of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters as a specific for recruiting the enfeebled body and
cheering the responding mind has passed into a pro-
verb. In the United States, where this marvellous
tonic has borne down all opposition and eclipsed all
rivalry, the demand for it has annually increased in a
heavier and heavier ratio for years, until at last, the
regular sales of this preparation exceed these of all
other stomachics combined. Eminent members Of the
medical profession and hospital surgeons without
number, have candidly admitted that the pharma-
copeia of the faculty contains no prescription that
produces such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general
debility and nervous diseases, as Hostetter's Bitters.
To use the language of a venerable physician of New
York: " The Bitters are the purest stimulant and the
safest tonic we have" But the uses of the great yege-
table antidote are much more comprehensive than
such praise would imply. As a preparatory an
tidote to epidemic disease, a genial stimulant,a a pro-
moter of constitutional vigor, an appetizer. a sto'
nachic, and a remedy for nervous debility no mediei-
nal preparation has ever attained the reputation OF
Hostetter's Bitters. 1t is the household tonic OF the
American people, and in all human probability WILDE
SO for centuries to come. The magnates of science re-
cognize its merits; and that it is emphaHcally the
medicine of the masses. is proved by its vast and ever
increasing sales.

A GENTLEMAN of leisure and scientific

A GENTLEMAN of leisure and scientific
tastes, living near Glasgow, Scotland,
gives to the world the following: While
out walking, he observed two bees issu-
ing from one of the hives, and bearing
a defunct body of a comrade, with which
they flew for a distance of twelve yards.
He followed them closely, and noted
the care with which they secured a con,
venient hole at the side of the gravel
walk, the tenderness with which they
committed the body, head downward,
to the earth, and the s%olicitude,
with which they afterward pushed two
little stones, doubtless d" in memoriam. !"
Their task being ended, they paused
for about a moment, perhaps to drop
over the grave of their friend a sympa-
thizing tear, and then few away to their
hive.

Val Value Of Little Birds in orchards.

The immense number of nOxiOus IN
sects that little birds will destroy held
high carnival in our fruit orchards last
season. There has never been a year
before the past when SO many wormy
and insect-bitten apples were sent to
market The universal complaint is in
almost every section of-eountry .Our
were all so worny."r But fire away at
the useful little birds; snare them; de
tstroy their nests; encourage rude boys
to stone and shoot every bird within
their reach, and in a few mor seasons
W. shall hear no complaint about
wormy fruit, as there will be none 1; be-
cause the insects and fruit pests will
destroy every embryo blossom or young
fruit before it can mature. Where
birds are encouraged to dwell in an or
-chard,- the codling moth and canker
wormJ which destroy thousands of bush
els of apples, are alldevoured by the
birds before the depredators can reach
the leaves and the fruit. We say, spare
the birds. little birds of all sorts like
small, smooth and fat worms, like the
larya of the codling worm moth. II
birds are numerous in fruit orchards
this depredator will do very little injury
to the apple crop.
1t is a crime for which our country was
punished severely last year, to destroy
such large numbers of harmless little
birds as are. shot and trapped during
every month. of the year. The beauti-
full little sparrows, which have been in.
troduced at sueh-a great expense Of
time and care, are every day brought
into the New York markets by the
hundreds, and sold at extortionate
prices as game, for human food. Robins
and quails, in uncountedo numbers, are
also exposed at the game-stands and
sold. It does seem as if our people are
stupidity bent IN destroying the goose
that lays the golden egg by killing the
useful little birds.

Some Strong Talk About Eating Onions

Some Strong Talk About. Eating Unions.
Mr.. Warner, in his book, "My Sum-
mer in a Garden pays this tribute to

I know that there is supposed to be a
prejudice against the onion; but there
is rather a cowardice in regard to it. I
doubt that all men and women love the
onion, but few confess their love. Aztec
ton for it is concealed. Good New
~Englanders are as shy of owning it as
they are of talking about religion.
Some people have days OF which they
eat onions-what they might call Gre
treats" or their Thursdays" The act
is in the nature of a religious ceremony,
an E~leusianian mystery, not a breath of
it must get abroad. On hat day they

that among dark-haired women the
probability of marriage Is in direct pro-
proportion to the darkness of the hair.
Thanks, Mrs. Somerville, for this infor,
nation. 1t furnishes one with an easy key
to calculation. The woman who has al
ready had three husbands and is on her
way to a fourth, will naturally be *
pected to have hair unspeakably black.
In her who is contented with one hus-
band, matrimonial moderation will be
expressed in tresses of a blue-black

will scintillate in a head of brilliant
tow. It is a great thing to have scien-
tifc facts on ones side in question of

THE Sun AT HIS. HoTTEsr.-That the
sun is hotter than any heated substance
known on earth, is proved by the latest
and most careful experiments, it being
demonstrated that in his atmosphere
iron and other metals are contained as
vapor, which cannot be changed into
vapors by any amounted heat on the
earth. For a long time, the accepted
hypothesis has been that the universe
was formed by a chaos of nebulous mat
ter, spread out through infinite space,
this .nebulous matter becoming after
ward conglomerated and aggregated to
solid masses. Great quantities of this
nebuIous matter, possibly from a great
distance, fell together, and thus their
attraction, or the energy of their attrac-
ton, was destroyed, heat being thereby
necessarily produced-heat 80 great as
to surpass all finite ideas and all the
limits of human imagination. IF this
quantity of heat be calculated, and the
sun be supposed to contain the whole
of it-and assuming the sun to have the
same specific heat as water, it would be
heated to twenty-eight millions of de
grees, that is, to a temperature surpass-
ing all temperatures known on earth.

y Northern exchange thus comments
on the recent conviction Of Hos. C. G..
Bowen, NJ. C.;
A stranger, whose knowledge Of our
politics was confined TO such information
as might be CLEANED from Republieao
/ papers, would naturally infer that the
! lion. Mr.. Bowen is a ''seccssionist," a
rebel" and ''disloyalist." He would
not dream that kc belonged to the party
of great moral IDEAS aud was worthy
and by no means singular leader of that
party 10 South Carolina. Put such is
the melancholy fact. lie is very like
the Rev. Mr.. Whi.temore, the cadetship
broker, AID Republican member Of
Congress. He differs ve.y little from
! the three prominent members Of that
party recently sent to the State Prison
for three years, for stufins the ballot
boxes 10 that unhappy State. He differs
only III :hc character Of some of his
vices, and that very little, from the
members Of the Republican Legislature
Of South Carolina who have plundered
that State of millions drawn from the
estates of honest aud virtuous citizens.
To be sure Bowen can read and. write,
whereas a majority Of the Republicans
10 the Legislature Of South Carolina
cannot. In this lie has the advantage
of the rank aud file. And yet, it is for
the express purpose OF keepiugjust such
men in power at the South, aud through
them controlling the elections, that the
legislation of Congress has been shaped.
1t is for this purpose that the President
of the United States has been armed
with the power Of senliug the military
forces of the United States into the
South. Such is the bitter, remorseless
and shameless treatment of conquered
people. Such is the character Of ere
construction" aud "reaping the fruit Of
the war; and such the agents by which
it is accomplished. Fit policy, ct agents,
for the corrupt and uupriucipled parry
which tramplcs upon every principle of
law and dcceucJ in order to secure its
lease Of power over the country.

NEGRO OUTRAGE.
The Lawrensville Herald, of July 7

The Lawrensville Herald, Of July Z

1t is our duty to reoord one Of the

Mother.-Iier mother fed flom the
house, and was fred upon without
effect. Entering, they demanded money
of Mrs. Scott, or information as to the
place in which it was kept. Mrs. Scott
refusing to tell, they proceeded to search
the room, breaking in pieces splendid
bureau, and smashing things generally,
amid oaths aud all manner of foul Ian
guage. Failing in their search, they
returned to Mrs. Scott, dragged her
from her bed by the hair of her head,
fired pistols around her person, and ii .
Dally presented them at her bosom, and
swore that she must either tell or die.
She was still firm. They then carried
her daughter through the same ordeal,
with like result-Seizing upon little
son, they held him up by the hair Of
the head, aud swore if be did not tell
them where they could find the money,
they would cut his throat from ear to
ear. In his fright the child referred
them to a certain trunk, where they
found, and took some three hundred
dollars in gold and silver-mostly gold.
All this was done amid the most hor-
rid oaths an9 abusive language. After
this, the band returned to the store.

dollars more, and were only prevented
from sackius it by the gathering Of the
neighbors, who had been awakened by
the firing and the shouting, to the dis
