TIE WIT AND WISDOM OF THE HAYTIANs. BY
JOHN BIGELow. limo PIP. ll2. scribner Armstrong
On a visit to the island of Hayti more than
twenty years AGO, Nj. BgeiOw struck with the va
riey aud point OF the proverbs which con-
stan,ly heard from the lips of the native population In
fact they appeared form the only original product Of
the Haytian civilization being no less specially OF the
island than the GTuyere cheese is OF Switzerland or The
AldcIney cows of the Channel Islands Many OF these
proverbs no doubt derived from the Old World es
pecally from France while others have the flavor OF The
soil and reflect the highest mental activity OF the uncu
tured people with whom they had their origin. Like all
Proverbs they illustrate the Oca habits of thought and
feeling, and at the time present curious speei-
men OF the identity of human nature under different
circumstances aud in different stages Of Developments
Still the readers who sometimes prefer the sermon 30 the
text will be apt to nd Mr. Bge0ws comments OF more
interest than the proverbs Tney afford him the oppor
tuny which he does not fail 10 seize of much pregnant
discourse ON men and manners, and the ways OF The
world speaking from experience and reflection in a
strain of wise and cordial counsel appealing TO the com
mon sense of is readers, and though always ddactc
