Up the Nile.

When you first go on board your
dahabieh, the sailors assemble on the
deck TO welcome you, and perhaps one
or two who have sailed with you before
step forward to shake your hand. They
are OF all compilations, some very
pale. some Of q rich and beautiful
brown, almost copper color. When
you have been far within the tropics
and have braved hot wind or two
amid the glaring sands Of Nubia and
the shining rocks of the Cataract, your
sailors have assumed n different tint.
The pale men have become brown, the
brown mon black. Most OF these sailors
come from certain tribes long settled in
Nubia, but probably Of Arab origin.
The Shellalee or Cataract families fur
nish many Of them. Now and then a
Cairene is among them; now and then
genuine fellah OF Lower Egypt. But
after q few days you recognize the
Nubian, or Berber. as his companions
call him. His face is generally OF 6
high type Of manly beauty, almost femi-
ninc, occasionally, in the delicacy Of the
outline; but his limbs, except in one
particular, are like those OF prize
fighter. Every muscle stands out on
his shoulders and arms, and, except for
the fairness Of his calves, he looks
like bronze statue. He has pectll-
lar way Of swimming. hand over hand,
making great splash, and though he
can literally stay for hours in the water
without Inconvenience, when your boat
has stuck fast on q sand bank, he Is not
good swimmer in our sense OF the
word. Yet. If you inquire into his his
tory you will probably lind that since he
was three years old he has been accus-
toned to take to the water, and has
swan the Cataract on q log since ever
he can remember. This swimming
down the worst parts of the Cataract
astride on log looks very easy, but is
in reality extremely difficult. as should
be sorry to say how many Of my coun-
trymen have proved. -Maqazine Of art.

The Biblical Recorder. of Raleigh,
calls to mind the following historical
incident: How Baptist principles grew.
In 174l some Baptists applied to the
County Court OF North Berne, N. G.,
for permission to build church in that
town. They were all publicly whipped,
bound over to keep the peace, COM
PEELED to take the test oath, and re-
quired to give bonds for their good be-
havior. - Christian Ipdcr. What a
change! Now there are 100000 Bap-
lists in North Carolina. and the Episco-
palians, who did the whipping, number
1900.

They are such fond. clear eyes,
That widen to surprise

Love asks for SO much grace.
They are such fair, fraii gifts;
Uncertain as the riffs

Give them not love, but more-aboye

A PROCLAMATION

By the Acting Governor of Dakota Tor
ritory.
The planting ard cultivation of trees
in prairie country is subject of so
great Importance as not to be easily
estimated. IT concerns not only the com
fort, but the material interests of TIE
people, and appeals as we'll to the desire
for pecuniary gain as to love Of the beau-
titui aud ornamental. 1t is subject IN
which all are alike interested and upou
which all may act.
The success of urborculture in this
territory has already been demonstrated,
aud there is no doubt that both indi-
vidnal aud general interests would be
greatly beueited by the settiug apart
and cultivation of, part of every farm
III the territory, as permanent plauta
tion tor the raising Of timber. With this
supplemented by proper planting for or
nament along the streets aud around the
residences aud school houses and public
grounds in both town and country, the
outlay will be returned ten fold III the
increase of values and the added beauties
OF farms and homes. While laying the
foundations of what is destined to be q
great and populous common. wealth We
should not reject the help which nature
offers to make it at the same time both
beautiful aud rich.
As is we'll known, in some states day
is annually set apart to be devoted by
the. whole people to the planting Of
trees. and in view of the advantage thus
gained in securing q united effort to this
end, with the hope Of establishing Gus
tom proved valuable in other commuu.
ities. 1 do earnestly recommend that the
people of this territory observe Wednes
day, the 23rd day of April next, as Arbol
day, and that it be devoted to the plant.
ing of trees.
In testimony whereof have here
