The bard, .xtempuriEing. sang much
about the great caisrsctr, cAEnib4is ami
pzgzns, hunger, the wide wastes, great
inland seas and nigyardiy tribes, and
wound up 10y declaring that the journey
was over. that we were even then smell-
ing the bfeezes If the western ocean, aud
his masters brothers had redeemed them
from the hell Of hunger And at the
end of each verse the voice rose high aud
clear to the chorus
Then sing, oh, friends, sing; the journey is
ended;
Sing aloud, oh, friends, sing to the great sea.
Enough now; fall to- said Manwa
Sera; at which the people nearly smosh-
cred him by their numbers. Into each
apron, bowl and utensil held out the sew
eral captains tossed full measures Of rice,
and generous quantities Of sweet potatoes
and portions OF fish. The younger men
and women hobbled after water, and 9TH
ers set about gathering fuel, and the
camp was all animation, where, but half
an hour previously, all had been listless
despair. Many people were unable to
wait for the food to lie cooked, but ate
the rice and fish raw. But when the pro-
visions had all been distributed, and the
noggin of rum had been equitably pour
ed into each mans cup, and the camp
was in state of genial excitement, and
groups of dark figures discussed with an
imation the prospective food which the
hospital fires were fast preparing, then l
turned to my tent, accompanied by Ulsdi,
Kacheehe, the captain, and the tent boys,
who were, suppose, eager to witness my
transports of delight.
"With profound tenderness Kacheehe
handed to me the mysterious bottles,
watching my face the while with bis
sharp, detective eyes as glanced at the
labels, by which the cunning rogue read
my pleasure. Pale ale! Sherry Port
winel Champa9nei Several loaves of
bread, wheaton bread, sufficient for
week! Two pots of butter! A packet of
tea! Coffee! White loaf sugar! Sardines
and salmon! Plum pudding! Currant,
goosberry and raspberry jaml
1.-THE gracious God he praised forever!
The long war we had maintained against
famine and the siege of woe was over,
end my people and rejoiced in plenty.
It was only an hour before we had been
living on the recollections Of the few pea
nuts and green bananas we had consum-
ed in the morning, but now, in an in.
slant, we were transported into the pres
ence of the Injuries of civilization.
Never did gaunt Africa appear so un-
worthy and so despicable before my eyes
IS now, when imperial Europe rose be-
fore my delighted eyes and showed her
boundless treasures of life, and blessed
me with her stores.
"When we all felt refreshed, the cloth
bales were opened, and soon instead of
the venerable and tattered relics of Man
chester, Salem and Nashua manufacture,
which were hastily consumed by the fire,
the people were reclad with white cloths
and gay prints. The nakedness of want,
the bare ribs, the sharp protruding bones
woAe thus covered; but months must
elapse before the hollow, sunken cheeks
and haggard faces would again resume
the healthy, bronze color which distin-
