Capt. Burton and the Savage.

During one Of Capt. Burton's voyages in
the Esser he was becalmed off an island of
the Society group, in the South Pacific, and
one day a valuable case of surgical instru-
ments was stolen from his cabin. A num-
Der of the savages, with the chief of the
and he knew the chief was of the number
On the following day he pulled on shore,
with the best part of his crew, and found
the chief, in comp any with several of his
principal warriors, sitting before his hut.
Burton made known his errand through his
interpreter, whereupon the sable monarch
expressed unbounded surprise Not only
was he sure that none of his people had
stolen his articles, but he could assure his
milk-skinned brother that his people
would not steal under any circumstances.
The Captain assumed confident atti-
tude, and begged to inform his swarthy mai
esty that he-Burton-kneW where the
missing property was. He had the power
to discover such things. 1t might save the
chief vast deal of trouble if he would at
once produce the stolen property.
Upon this the chieftain declared that
he would have nothing more to say upon
the subject; and to give seeming weight to
his asser tion he drew forth his pipe, and
having filed it with tobacco, he commenc-
ed to strike fire on n peace of punk wood
with flint and steel. Capt. Burton told
the interpreter to bid him stop,
"Tell him." said he, "that will bring
fire from heaven into his pipe"
The chief received the announcement
with look of incredulity, but, neverthe-
less, dropped his flint steel, and suffered
the Captain to proceed. Burton drew from
his pocket small sun glass, or magnifying
lens, and concealing it in his hand, he bade
the chief to smoke away, and at the same
time he turned the bowl of his pipe
towards the sun, and brought the focal
rays of the sun up to the tobacco. The
fire took and the smoke came forth. The
dusky chieftain pufled out fragrant cloud,
then looked at the bowl of his pipe, and
then knelt in awe before the pale-faced
Captain. He would not tempt the wonder

Died Yesterday.

Died yesterday" Who died? Per-
haps it was gentle babe-one whose laugh
was as the gush of summer rills lettering
in the bower of roses-whose little life was
a perpetual litany a May-time crowned
with the passion of flowers that never fade.
Or mayhap it was youth, hopeful and
generous, whose path was hemmed by flow
ers, with not serpent lurking underneath;
one whose heart painted for communion
with the great and good, and reached forth
with earnest struggle for the guerdon in
the distance But that heart is still now;
he "died yesterday"
"Died yesterday" A young girl, as pure
as the orange-fowers that clasp her fore
head, was stricken down as she stood at
the altar and from the dim aisle of the
temple she was borne to the garden OF
the slumberers." A tall, crowned man, girt
with the halo of victory, at the days
close, under his own vine and fig tree, fell
to dust even as the anthem trembled upon
his lips; and he, too, was laid "where the
rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep" An
ancient patriarch, bowed with age and
cares, even as he looked out upon the dis
tant hills for the coming of the angel host,
slank into dreamless slumber, and on his
door-post is written, "Died yesterday"
"Died yesterday" Daily men, women,
and children are passing away, and hourly
in some graveyard, the soil is flung upon
the dead. AS often in the morn we find
some flower that blushed sweetly in the
sunset has withered up forever; so daily,
when we rise from the bivouac to stand
against our post, we miss some brother
soldier, whose CHEEKY cry in the sieges and
struggles of the past has been as fire from
Heaven upon our hearts.
Each day some pearl drops from the
jewel thread of friendship-some Tyre tC
which we have been wont to listen has
been hushed forever. But wise is he who
mourns not the pearl and music lost foi
life with him shall pass away gently, as al
eastern shadow from the hills and deatf
be a triumph and gain.

That Turkey.

Frederick Douglas tells this good story:
was hungry once, very hungry indeed,
and had little conference with broth
er slave on the subject of helping myself
TO turkey that saw fluttering in one of
the out-houses. l told Sandy (for it was
Sandy JenlSins) that was hungry, wanted
something to eat, but that had religious
scruples against helping myself to that
turkey. knew that he was a praying
man, God-fearing man, and wanted his
advice on the subject. He told me that it
was rather ticklish question in ethics.
There was some risk about it, but SO far as
the act itself was concerned, it was per
fectly legitimate. He said you are your
masters property? Yes, said. That
turkey is your masters property? Yes. II
you put that turkey into you, that turkey
does not cease to be the property Of youI
master, but only adds TO the property in
another form. So it was simply question
of removal. said that it stood to reason,
the whole thing was clear to reason, and
helped myself.
