Missionary-As good a Bible?
Cetewayo-Yes. You see your Bible
Is elastic It stretches SO as to cover
almost anything you want to do. For
instance, you want my land. You look
into your Bible. You fndit commands
you to 60 abroad and preach the gospel
to every creature. If the creatures
won't hear you, you make them hear
you with your guns. You take their
land. Then, Of course, they must hear
your Gospel. You have the pleasure of
converting them and getting their land
besides. That isa good Bible. Iwish
I had such good guns. I would have
such a Bible also.
Missionary-Would you like to visit
England, King?
Cetewayo-Can you roast me a whole

why He wasn,t Older.

The oldest man in the state, accord
ing to report, is Cato Oakley, an inmate
Of the aims house in Suffield. He is a
colored man, and is said to be ia years
old. He was formerly a slave, and had
four owners at different times. He was
last owned by Ebenezer Davenport, of
New York. He saw four years. service
in the navy, including the war of 1912,
and has been a lover of liquor and a de-
votee of tobacco, but for which, he says,
he might have been at least 120 by this
time.
What Generosity Would Have
Cost Kim.
A mar in Pennsylvania noted for his
generosity lately had 800, 900 left him
as a legacy. Beggars of all manner of
causes, good, bad and Indifferent, flock
ed upon him so fast that he adopted the
plan Of stating to each the amount of
his legacy, and the fact that he had
hosts of applications, and the inquiry,
in view of all this, how much he ought
to be expected to give the applicant.
The amounts then applied for he noted
down and promised an answer in six
months from the time he got his legacy.
AT the end of that period he added up
the amounts applied for and found the
sum total thereof was SOC, 600.

Cabul.

Cabul, the capital of Afghanistan,
where the massacre of Cayagnari and
the English embassy took place, is not
a city whose palaces and public institu-
lions would allure the sight-seer to any
lenghthened stay in its vicinity, for,
without exception, a more neglected or
tumbled-down collection Of houses,
without the slightest pretense to sani-
tary arrangements, can hardly be found
in Asia. The only shops Of any inter-
est are the leather and %ironworkers' and
others dealing in skins and stuffs pecu-

autumn are crammed from the ground
to the roof with every kind Of both ripe

WHAT Our BOYS AND GIRLS ARE READ
ING.-Sunddy afternoon for September,
says: The fashy newspapers that are
sold upon the news-stands, and the vile
publications that are hawked about more
secretly, are not, however, the whole of
the mischievous reading that falls into
the hands of our boys and girls. The
libraries, the public Libraries, the Sunday.
school libraries, furnish them with great
deal of reading that, as they use it, is ex-
tIemely hurtful to them. The statistics
that our librarians give us, showing the
great excess of novels over all other
classes of books issued to the patrons of
the libraries, give us food for rather dis
couraging reflection. From the Hartford
Public Library one boy took 1O2 novels
in six menths, and a girl III In the same
time. Think of the condition of these
children's minds at the end of such a
carnival of sensations! Even though no
books of positively immoral character are
admitted into the public libraries, it is
clear that the provision of 80 much mem
tai excitement for our young people Is
doing them great damage. The late con-
vention of Librarians in Boston discussed
this matter very earnestly and tried to
reach some practical conclusions. One
radical suggestion was that city or town
has no right to tax the people for the
furnishing of mere amusement to any
body, and that therefore no fiction that is
not clearly educational in its character
should find room upon the shelves of the
public libraries. Another proposition was
that school children land the restriction
need not be limited to children at school)
should not be allowed to take more than
one story a week. That rule ought to be
Immediately adopted and rigidly enforced
in all public libraries. 1t is simple de-
bauchery for any young person to read
more than one novel q week.

TIRED MEN.-The Cotton Semi Irooic
contains the following paragraph, which
is applicable to great many localities
ON the Pacific coast: We have no room
for men who are too proud or too tired
to work. We have now large surplus
of ssResting men" who would be fright
ened to death if they found job of
work. These we certainly have enough
of. But men who can come with a small
amount of ready money, and who are
able and willing to work and economize
as they do in other States, we can safely
promise them good living and COM
petence in the near future. To be sure
there is the same depression existing
here thai, just now is worldwide, but il
arises from no local cause and will soon
pass away. Even now cheering reports
reach us from the East, and another
twelve-month will see the tide of pros
perity commencing it's glad work among
us.

The Australian Exhibitions.

Mr.. o. M. Spencer, United States Con-
sui General at Melbourne, Australia,
transmits to the Department of State
very full report of the proposed Exhi-
bitions at Sydney and Melbourne. The
first opens on the 1st of September, 1879,
and will close on the 31st of March, 1880.
That at Melbourne opens on the 1st OF
October. 1880, and closes on the 3lst OF
March, 1881. This Exhibition will be
held in the Carlton Gardens, comprising
an area of 65 acres. Nearly all the leading
European governments have signified their
intention of being present by royal COM
missioners. ALI of the Australasian colo
MES have entered heartily into the
enterprise. The English Government
has taken warm and decided interest in
it. The Prince of Wales and others Of
the royal family will visit the Exhibition.
The Duke of Genoa will ov.i,e e,iS il. n
italian man-of-war, and France and Ger
many will be represented In similar
manner. The relation which exists be-
tween the Sydney and Melbourne exhib-
itors is one of generous rivalry and cor
dial cooperation. The two cities will
soon be connected by railway. There
are several lines of steamships now ply
ing regularly between the two places,

of transferring goods from Sydney to
Melboure will be moderate, including
storage. Goods will be received at the
latter exhibition building on the LIST OF
June, 1880.
Ali the usual facilities accorded at pre-
vious international fairs in other coun-
tries will be literally afforded at Mel
bourne. The protection of inventions
capable of being patented is fully
secured. Should the United States
decide not to send out a man
of-war, it is advisable to ship all
heavy goods in sailing vessels, via the
Cape, not later than February, 1850.
Goods from the Pacific slope and parcels
of great value and small bulk may be
shipped via San Francisco by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, which runs a
monthly line of steamers from San Fran
cisco to Sydney. Show cases, shelving,
betting, etc., may be procured in Mel
bourne at low rates, at the cost of the
exhibitors.-.Scientifc american.

smitten with the Circus Fever.

After the performance was over at the
circus, SAYS Nevada exchange, young
man called on Chiarini and said he want
ed to see him on private business. The
veteran took him into his Office, and re-
ceived him with the usual politeness.
s'I came up all the way from Carson to
see the show, and I'd like to join," said
the young man. e..
'sGh, 1 see, said the circus man; you
are a well-formed, healthy looking young
fellow, and like to encourage such as
you" The youths face frightened.
"You don't chew, smoke or drink, 1
hope?"
"Oh, no; honor bright-except soda
and beer"
ssYou must leave off those bad habits.
They weaken the muscles and paralyze
| the nerves. You can soon stop drinking,
but your salary will not be large until
YOU have overcome these tendencies. A
| little lemonade-circus lemonade-is all
| the performers drink Call at II o'clock
tomorrow morning and I will see what
I can do. You mustn't expect over 800
week, though, at first. We never pay
high salaries until we know what a man
| can do"
The delightful Carsonite went away
and next morning was on hand.
Chiarini took him to q tent where three
immense Bengal tigers were Gagged
Handing him q curry-comb and pair o.
shears, he remarked:
ssYour duties will be comparatively
light at first. You will go into the cage
and curry the tigers down every morn

claws; keep 'em down pretty short, 81

fields cover a great area over which,
