Bishop Coke, of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, has recently visited Hayti,
and he reports strange things which he
found there. The Episcopal mission
there is now devoting its energies to the
evangslization of the natives of the is
land, 100000 of whom are heathens,
though nominally Roman Catholics.
The condition of most of the natives is
like that in Central Africa-that of bar
barism of the lowest type. They take
their children to the Romish priests for
baptism, and worship the spirit Of evil
In many parts Of the island the canni-
balism of religious superstitions very
largely prevails. Children are stupefied
by giving them a root or bark, and thus
prepared for the rite. After being fattened
for the sacrifice, the deluded worshipers
feast upon their bodies. Both the EpiE-
copal and Wesleyan missionaries testify
that this practice is systematic, not ocoa-
sional. The government has attempted
to suppress this practice, but failed.
Bishop Coke met the excited President
Gefrard in Jamaica, and reports some
conversation with him on the subject.
"I did my best, said the President, to
put down this cursed bandon worship"
In answer to the question of the Bishop,
whether they thus sacrificed children to
their heather god, the President replied;
"Alas, was compelled to shoot eight
men for cannibalism, to strike terror into
those whom could not reach. Canni-
balism is strong there; and it was for
that reason am here an exile, because
made war upon it. As might be ex'
pected, marriage is almost entirely neg
lected. Is il not time that the Protestant
Church should give special attention to
civilization and Christanization In

Two young people of the province Of
Languedoc loved each other tenderly;
but money-the eternal enemy Of love
opposed itself to their happiness.
The father of Mademoiselle Victorine
refused to give her to the youthful Paul,
whose affection was his sole property.
Despairing of softening the old man,
the two lovers, who were in no humor to
wait, resolved to fly. But the young lady
was only seventeen years of age; and to
avoid an accusation, Paul arranged with
witnesses, who were apprised of the time
and place where the meeting OF the
lovers and their fight would occur.
However, in spite Of all her exertions,
the young lady was not able to attend at
the appointed time; the witnesses. grew
impatient. and went of, and when the
two arrived out of breath upon the scene,
they found the place deserted.
What should be done2
M. Paul conducted his well-beloved to
o farm house at a little distance, and
then ran off in search Of fresh witnesses.
1t was Just day-break when the lover
reached the suburbs of Paris.
By good fortune an individual came
along, and Paul advanced towards him.

" Yes, sir" answered the gentleman,
very much astonished.

" That is perfectly understood, and |

"All right; let us go" answered the
unknown, laughing; /" agree to per-
form this service fer you"
" Give me your name and your ad-
dress, if you please
The two friends marched off gaily to-
gether, when Paul perceived gentle
man few PAGES distant.
Would it be repugnant to you"
said Paul, if this gentleman coming to-
wards US was invited to eat some OF the
spare-ribs n
By no means, provided he does not
carry off any part of my share"
Fear nothing Of that sort. "
But still to what end do you ask this
of me2"
"You shall know it soon," said Paul,
fastening forward to the new arrival,
and making his proposition anew in re-
gard to the feast of spare ribs 10
piquante.
The invitation was again accepted.
So laughing and joking together, they
soon came near the farm.
The two unknown beheld with surprise
q young lady coming toward them, and
herself upon the neck Of their
conductor. And their astonishment was
greatly increased when the young people
cried out:
"Messieurs, be ye witness that we
are carrying each other off," and they
jumped into a carriage which was driven
away at a rapid rate.

and the application Of cold most refresh
ing. The clamminess in the mouth, the
nausea, the general gastric Disturbances
are secondary, and have no connection
with any improper meal, and thus are in
no way relieved by the too frequent and
ignorantly administered purgative. This
is not needed, and has no good result.
The only remedies which are Of any
avail are those which act ON the nervous
system, such as hot tea and coffee; or,
after the stomach is quieter, and the
more urgent symptoms have passed off,
little wine or ammonia. IL the head
ache take more the form of hemicrania,
then remedies are occasionally useful, as
the local application of the bisulphide Of
carbon or galvanism, and internally the
bromide of potassium. This is the only
drug that have seen TO be really SER
vieeable. While the nausea exists and
the worst symptoms prevail, even this
remedy is Of no avail"
