And burning for revenge arose;
He laid her base betrayer low,
And struck Gismay to virtues foes.

Deep in thy mind its traces wear.

Daughters of virtue grant the tear,
Thatlov and honor's tomb may claim.
In your defense the husband here
Laid down in youth his life and fame.
His wife disdained a life fOrlorn,
Reft from her hearts beloved lord

Who for their love their life blood

An African Belle.

Lieut.. Cameron found one tribe in
Africa where women were much more
respected than is common in that
country. This Difference Of the male
sex had, however, the usual effect. The
respected" women became much more
addicted to fashion than their less IA
vored sisters. One of the BELLS of this
tribe is thus described by the traveller:
She is a merry sort of person, this
Mrs. PakWanywa, land really ladylike
in her manners. 1t was great fun
showing her looking-glass. She had
never seen one before, and was half
afraid of it, and ashamed to show she
was afraid.
She is a very dressy body-double
rows of cowries round her head, be-
sides copper, iron and ivory stuck in
her hair, and just above and in front of
each ear Il tassel of red and white
beads. A large necklace of shells was
round her neck, and round her waist
string of opal colored singo-maZzi, and
81 lOpc lldlic VI otliilSS VI a lCV-SOlOlcu
bead.
Her front apron was of leopard skin,
and the rear one of colored grass cloth,
with its fringe strung with beads, and
cowries sewed on it in pattern; bright
iron rings were round her ankles, and
copper and ivory bracelets on her
arms. Her hair was shaved little
back from her forehead, and three lines,
each about a quarter of an inch wide,
were painted below.
The one nearest to the HAIR was red,
the next black, and the next white; and
TO crown all, she was freshly-anointed
with oil, and looked sleek and shiny.
Her upper lip WAS perforated and a
piece of stone inserted, until the lip
protruded a couple of inches, giving a
hideous expression to the face, and
making her articulation quite indis-
tinct.

About twelve years ago Mrs. Weis,
an estimable lady aged about 60 died at
her home near Fort Wayne, Ind, and
her remains were inferred on the farm
of relative, Mr.. Jacob kept, about
two and half miles north of Fort
Wayne. As the farm was about to pass
out of the hands of the family the body
was disinterred for for the purpose of
being removed to Underwood Gene
terry. The coffin, which had been rest
ing in a damp place, was found to be
we'll preserved. When opened the re-
mains presented a most striking ap-
pearance. The features were un-
changed, having altered in no respect
since death. The body was completely
petritied, every portion Of it being as
hard as rock. When struck with the
hand the resulting sound was as loud as
as if stone wall had been hit. Mrs.
Weis was very large women in her
lifetime, and when she died weighe
about 200 fbs. The weight of the petri-
fed body was SO great that it taxed TO
the utmost the strength of six large
men to move it. The lines of the face
were hardened, and the entire body was
as rigid as bronze statue. The re-
mains We're complete, with the eXcep-
ton of the feet, which We're gone, there
being only two small bones left which
were detached from the ankles.
