hour for the lecture drew near, fingered briefly
upon the point, and passed. An impatient
rustic began to sweep through the house, as the
speaker OF the evening still delayed bis appear
ance upon the platform. The Committee
glanced nervously at each other, conferred
together in short and hurried whispers, and then
hastily repsired to the ante-room. An elderly
man was standing in the centre Of the 70 ON as
they entered, clutching wildly at his flowing
hair and muttering incoherently to himself.

the Superintendent.

Zimri, the beautiful, excellent Of earth,
Journeyed across the desert, md his soul
Fainted within him. Weary and sore Of foot
He toiled to reach the isle of waving palms
That marked the fair OASIS grateful rest,
And his sinking heart grew stronger than the leop
ards paw
When meath his feet he felt the springing turf.
Beside the palm crowned well he knelt and drank,
And, praying Allah for his gracious aid,
Safe down upon guu-wood stump to rest.
Then he arose.

A Chinese Dainty.

Eatable birds nests are found for the
most part in the islands of Java, Borneo,
Sumatra and the Celebes. The bird
which produces the nest is called the
Salangane swallow. It flies with won
derful speed and precision, and on the
Javan coast, where the surge breaks
wildly against the precipitous cliffs and
caverned rocks, these birds may be seen
in swarms darting hither and thither.
Their nests are fixed to the cliffs or just
inside the caverns. What sort OF
thing, then, is the eatable birds Lest
that the wealthy Chinese are 80 fond OF
it? It is that portion of the fabric
which serves as q sort of bracket, on
which the real nest (made of grass, sea-
weed fibers, small leaves, etc., } is built.
It is transparent, somewhat like lsln-
glass. It was formerly supposed that
this gelatine like substance was prepared
by the bird from seaweed and other ma
rine plants this, however, is q mistake.
DIR. Bernstein has found that the glands
under the tongue of the bird are of great
size. On opening the bill they are seen
as,two large swellings, one on either side.
and these chiefly supply the material
for making the brackets. The bird &C.
cretes in them soft, gum.like SUBJ
stance, which can be drawn out OF the
mouth in long threads, and in the air
soon dries, and is found to be the same.
even when viewed through the micro
scope, as the bracket material. Such is
the demand for this dainty, and SO high
is its market value, that hundreds of
men spend their lives in the perilous
work Of collecting these so-called nests
from the frightful cliffs, precipices and
caverns and the Chinese spend about
million and half of dollars annually
in the purchase of this dainty, which,
when rendered into soup or jelly, they
regard as the most delicious of food

RuShmen of South Africa.

Their speech is q series of clicks, in
terspersed here and there by harsh.
sounding and utterly unintelligible gut
tural. In default of better food, the
Bushmen will eat snakes and other rep.
tiles, and they make kind of bread of
dried locusts, pounding them between
stones, and kneading into cakes the
mealy substance thus produced. AL.
though these diminutive savages present
one of the-lowest forms Of humanity, the
South American Botocudo being, per-
haps, yet degree nearer to the animal
type, they are possessed of good deal
Of cunning, and even bravery of Ger.
tain sort. Thus, they will not only
stalk game of the smallest kinds, but
even the lion itself, keeping carefully to
leeward, go that their scent shall be un-
perceived, and, creeping upon their bel.
lies to within few yards of him, when
they will let fly one of their tiny poison

beasts is sealed. In hunting the ostrich,

they advance by degrees, moving the

nothing of ham-stringing whole herd
of cattle in retaliation for real or i'm.
aginary grievance; and on account OF
their deadly, although insignificant
looking weapons, the Beers Dutch
farmers) are much afraid of them, and
shoot them down like dogs when they
get the opportunity. And yet it seems
as if it ought not to be so absolutely i'm
possible to civilize these strange crea.
lures, who are clearly not devoid of in
teligence, their cave dwellings being
constantly found adorned with spirited
drawings of the animals of the Veldt
traced with some kinds of colored clayf
and pigments that seem to defy the
effects of time.

Words are the souls ambassadors.
Tranquil pleasures last the longest.
We are not fitted to bear long the bur
den of great joys.
It is to be feared that they who marry
where they do not love will love where
they do not marry.
The manner of vulgar man has free

the gentleman has ease without free
dom.
Evils in the journey of life are like the
hills which alarm travellers upon their
road they both appear great at a dis
tance, but when we approach them we
find that they are far less insurmounta-
BILE than we had conceived them.
It is a secret known to but few, yet OF
no small use in the conduct of life, that
when you fall into mans conversation,
the first thing you should consider is
whether he has greater inclination to
hear than you, or that you should hear
him.
Keep the tongue from unkindness.
Words are sometimes wounds; not very
deep wounds always, and yet they irri-
tate. Speech is unkind sometimes, when
there is no unkindness in the heart. So
much the worse, that unintentional pain
is caused.
Common sense is looked upon as a
vulgar quality, but nevertheless it is
the only talisman to conduct us prosper.
ously through the world. The man OF
refined sense has been compared to one
who carries about him nothing but gold,
when he may be every moment in want
of smaller change.
