Perfect Faith.

a correspondent of the Indian Pioneer
gives the following account of an Incl
dent on the recent return of some
British officers from Afghanistan =
"Scene-The widest part of the Khyber,
with barren rocks towering on all sides;
an English officer riding along, escorted
by a motley company of maliks and
trihesmen, all armed to the teeth; more
armed Afreedees in the middle distance
a weary, lonely figure toiling on the
dusty road in huge black boots, face
burned to a brick red and fringed by a
scanty sandy beard. The figure is clad
in thick, wadded garment and has a
bundle on his back. Halt! Who are
your "A Turkestant.' Where are
your comradesp am alone Where
are you going? TO Mecca How
will you get thereY God will help
Peace be with you. And with you
The figure moves off and the armed
circle breaks up. This poor devotee had
tramped hundreds of miles through hills
and valleys, swarming with cutthroats,
secure in his simple faith which had led
him TO leave distant Turkestan in quest
of the still more distant Mecca"

Coffee Planting in Southern India.

Notwithstanding the the serious de-
crease in the average yield of coffee per
acre in the last two or three seasons, the
area under mature plants in the Madras
Presidency has increased in one year,
1867, from As, 252 acres to 40, $50 acres.
The enhanced value which coffee fetches
in the London market has doubtless Civ
en- this industry great stimulus. And
the Indian planter, profting by the al
most total cessation Of coffee cultivation
in Jamaica, and the decline in produc-
ton in Brazil and Java, may, despite
temporary severe checks, look forward
with confidence to the future. A largely
increased value has also accrued to the
fee-simple price of coffee estates in both
India and Ceylon. We heard just the
other day of Ceylon planter buying his
partners share in the estate at the enor.
nous price of 500 per acre for cultivat.
ed and jungle land alike, and the pur.
chaser was no trio at his trade.-Fraser'

Unsu6stantial Real Estate.

We are informed that a gentleman
residinging Wakulla county, by the
name of Cox, who is cultivating small
farm, upon arising one morning recently
was surprised to find that during the
night his residence had been changed
from region where water could not be
seen to the border of a lake. When he
retired the evening before his house was
far away from any pond, lake or river,
but on going out next morning, instead
of his garden, an immense sink, fifty or
sixty yards square, filled with water,
running up within eighteen or twenty
feet from his residence, met his gaze.
During the night this transformation
occurred, leaving not even vestige of
the tallest pine trees, which were stand
ing in their full majesty only twelve
hours before. These sinks, however, are
not unfrequent in that county. 1t has
only been short time since a sink occur

able than the one alluded to above, in
that it occurred upon the very top of a
hill-one of the highest points of land in

AN INVITATION TO THE sLEDsE

Come forth, for dawn is breaking;
Tue sun hath touched the snow:
Our blithe sledge-bells are calling,
And Christian waits below.
All day DER snow-drifts gliding
'Twixt gray-green walls of ice.
Wen chase the winter sunlight
Adown the precipica.
Above black swirliug death waves
We will not shrink nor blaneh.
Though the bridge tflst spans the torrent
Be built by an avalanche,
Wen talk of love and friendship
And hero-hearted men,
MID the stems OF spangled larehes
La the fairy frosted glen.
With fight as swift as swallows
Ven sweep the curdled lake,
Where tie gr0an OF prisOned kelpies
MAKE the hrm requirement. quake.
Wen thread the sombre forest
Where giant pines are crowned
With snow caps on their branches
Bent 10 the snowy ground.
Strong wine of exultation,
Free thoughts that laugh at death
Shall warm or wiDgsd spirits,
Though the chill air freeze our breath.
With many a waif OF music
And memory-wafted song
With the melody Of faces
Loved when the world was young.
With dear Hellenic stories
And names of old romance,
WI make our souls deep echoes
While the hills around US dance:
Dance to the arrowy motion
OF our sledge so firm and free,
Swimming the beaten snow track
As a good ship Skins the sea.
Like love, like all that's joyous,
Like youth, ike LIES delight
This day is dasning DER us
Between a night and night.
o friend, tits ours to clasp It'll
Come forthl No better bliss
For hearts by hope uplifted

Baby Becomes Fashionable.

In dress everything is baby-baby hats,
baby corseges, &c. Of course it is an old

1t was said. "Her hair must be cut a

is difficult to have a waist n Pentant, the
great art lies in the cestus, which is

fourth morning l looked from my win
dow to find the earth basking in summer
sunshine. The sky was q vaultof throb-
bing blue, fecked here and there with
waves of summer cloud, the stretches of
sand grew golden in the sun-rays, while
the saturated hills were bright as if from

vivified me, and as soon as my breakfast
was over | whistled up my dogs and
strolled out into the air.
How bright and beautiful everything
looked after the heavy rainl The
ground was spongy to the tread; the dew
still lay heavily upon the heather and
long grass; but the sun seemed to be
sucking up the moisture from the bog.
Everybody seemed to be out that day /;
and most people seemed to be busy. Old
men drove heavily laden donkeys along

their creels of turf across the bog; and

the turf-cutters were busy,

Opposed to the Telegraph.

The strongest opposition to q telegraph
line from uncivilized races is always met
with when it is first erected. Fear Of
the strange thing and jealousy of terri,
torial encroachment naturally excite the
savage mind to resent the innovation;
and most construction parties in wild
countries have to be protected by an es'
cort Of troops The great trans-Austra-
Ian overland line, recently completed,
was carried for hundred of miles through
desert solitudes, unharmedb by the blacks;
but on the Macdonald range a band OF
hostile natives were encountered, and
the electricians gained bloodless victory
over them by connecting the poles of a
powerful battery to the wire, and admin
istering shocks unawares to those OF the
natives who were prowling curiously
around. The mysterious power, which
seemed to them like thunder stroke,
inspired them with a wholesome terror
of the wire, and they give it a wide
berth after that. Both in Australia and
New Zealand several erecting parties
have been attacked by the aborigines
and massacred. OF late, however, in
New Zealand, the Maoris have shown a
different spirit, probably because Of q
better management on the part of the
whites; and Maori squatters now help tc
build the line, which they look upon as
triumph Of their scientific Abilities

arises, what proportion OF the fifteen shil-
