 An Eastern Love Story.

Kusa-J atakaya, a, Budd dhistic legend, has been rendered for the first time into English verse, from the Sinhales,g by Thomas Steele, .nf the Ceylon Civil Ser-. vice, and published in London by Trub- ner & Go. It is the story of an Indian Prince, son of, tiie greatest sovereign of Dambadivd (India), who is gifted with every intellectual and moral quality, but .illtfavoredo in yhis personal appearance, asks in marriage Q princess of great beauty, and has her brought in pomp to the scourt1of the king, his father. i1 As soon as the. lovely PrabayaH has seen. her bridegroom, Prince Kusa, in broad day light, she takes to flight and returns to her fathers house. Kusa follows ner,1 and after practising various trades in the town where her father 'reigns, ends by obtaining access to the palace, where, as a cook, he distinguished himself by his
 uncommon taleut. But neither his culi- nary skill nor his lamentations move the
 heart of Prabavati and, being insult
 ingly rejected, vhe isfinduced to return to his native town. Immediately after
 his departures seven kings arrive, each at the head of m army, to demand the hand of Prabavati. The father of the
 princess is much embarrassed If he be-
 slows his daughter upon one of the seven,
 the other six will mite against him in a war which may ruin his country! In
 this dilemma, the king,5 touched with compassion, for his people, decides that
 his daughter shall be cut into seven pieces, and the portions carefully equal, ized so that the seven suitors may be
 satished,s. aid no 6ne made jealous
 I,1 The prospect 0f thissevenfold marriage causes Prabavati to reflect she begins
 to consider shAt Prince Kusa, whom She
 so .arrogantlY rejected, is certainly not
 handsome, but full of intelligence, of
 constancy, and love; that he is the son tof the most powerful king, and at the head of the most brilliant court to be found; oshe declares herself therefore
 ready to accept him as her spouse. Kusa has in the meantime returned; by his supefior talents without shedding of
 blood, he defeats and takes prisoners
 the seven dkingly bsnitors ;' and as his
 clemency equals, his bravery, and Pra-
 bavati fortunately has seven sisters, he
 gives one in, marriage to each of the
 conquered kings As for himself, his tuglinesssisl suddenly transformed into
 beauty, he is married to Prabava6, $ and they both live happy ever afterwards"

.lI sI ' NffF- " 7I-t1I !. How Caves are Formed.

It becomes ain interesting question 10 find out how this subterranean system was made .1for in SO many cases Q, valley, passes into q ravine, and that into a cave, that ,the cause which has formed one, must have formed an,. Itrequires but a
 cuxsDry glance to see at sonce that orpn-
 ming water was the main agent. The
 Limestone IS 50, trayersed by joints and
 lines of shrinkage, that the water sinks rapidly down into it's mass, and, collects, in sr1sil stfessms, tfss a which eve their dirleeec-, tioa to the dip of the water and tho pc ,sition of the Assures, These channels
 are being continually deepened and .widenedtby the mere mechahical action
 of the passage of stones and silt. But ,this isi not the only way in which the rock is gradually eroded The limestone
 isicomposed in great part of pure car
 bonate of lime, which is indissoluble in water! as It is, however, readily dissolved in any liquid containing carbonic acid,
 which is an essential part of our latrnos
 .phere, and is invariably present in the rain -waterg and is given off by organic bodies nBy9this siavisible agenty the
 hard crystalline rock is always being at
 tackled in some form or other. The very
 snails that take refuge in it's crannfes leave an enduring mark of their presenee in a surface fretted with otheir acdd exha- lations, which very often pass current among geolo ogiEts for the borings of pho!
 lades, and are thep innocent Cause of much speculation as to the depression of
 the rnountain-t6ps beneath the sea .in
 cofnparatiyely modern times! The car
 bonic acid taken ap by the rain is de- rived in the main from the decomposing
 vegetable matter which generally forms the surface tBon on theo limestone. Its effects are to be seen in a. most marked
 degree in the bare, grey masses of rock fermedo Ispayenents. q sthat stands out like reches nsostouseses from Ithe purple
 heather, and are worn and Assured into the lstrangest possible shapes. Some
 times the,surface is made up fof . nunns ber f'sharp points that lookkke a sheaf
 of sword+blades sF at others are iravines and caves in miniature; and very gener-
 ely the strata afec divided into aseriesof large angular blocks. which work with
 thel greatest freedom. The rninuten fosl
 sil shells and fragments ef crinoidg stand

 agentWhich removed pisoe much rockais chemical, not mechanical. go This invisis shle agent is equally at work in the caves
 as we'll as above ground, everywhere at
 tackiAg the surface, ievetF out of reach of fheistreams. The endless safieties ef
 stalactite and stalagnaite are merely 50
 much solid matter taken by it out of the rock, and re-deposised where the exCessoi carbonic acid In the water happens to be

HUMANE GOVERNMENT,

Enough has transpired in this country
within the short but eventful period of
ten years, dating from the commence
ment of the attack upon Fort Sumter, to
satisfy the world of the mild and merci-
full disposition of our supreme govern
ment. At the very time when republican
France is engaged in a most sanguinary
period of punishment against the leaders
of the rebellion in Paris, the great leader
of the rebellion against the United States
government is permitted to live, and in
the very bosom of the country, give proof
that punishment with him has ''played
out"
While the government of France is en-
gagged in hunting down rebels and shooting
them by the hundreds, the government of
the United States is patiently bearing
WIN the talk of men who pretend ''to
oppose despotic Capitalization of pow
er," but who are in reality only waiting
and hoping for the time to come when
they can assist in overthrowing repub-
lican government in America. This will
seem incredible to the great body of the
American people, who have confidence in

What are we to think of the Democracy
when its organs deliberately declare that
the acceptance of the constitutional
amendments was foreseen to be inevitable
three years ago, but which the party did
not dare to recommend at that time be-
cause the public mind was not prepared
for such conclusion? The open avowal
of this weakness is a confession of tie
utter unreliability of the Democratic lead
ers, for if they have been acting contrary
to their convictions for the last three years,
what security have we that they are not
playing the hypocrite at present? If
they told the people two years ago that
the amendments were utilities, which
were inevitably bound to be overthrown,
when they did not believe what they were
saying, who is guarantee that they
really mean what they say to-day? Per-
haps they have some plan or policy which
they are hiding at present as they evil
IDENTIFY concealed their ideas and projects
in 1868. Is the public ready to follow a
party that declares one fact while it be-
lieves another?
