City VS.. Country.

Put down in u judicial frame of
mind, says an Exchange, the relative
advantages of town and country, and
strike balance; your ledger page will
read something like this: In the
country, nature: in the city, human
nature. In the country, quiet; in the
city, activity. In the country, vcge-
tation; in the city, emulation. In the
country, leisure, but no advantages;
in the city, advantages, but no leisure.
In the country, danger of rusting
out; in the city, certainty of wearing
out. In the country, life sometimes
wearisomely slow; in the city, life
painfully fast. In the country you
make friends, in the city acquaint-
ances; in the country you know all but
a few ncighbors, in the city joStlC
against innumerable strangers; in the
country you live in undress, in the
city you are always on dress parade;
in the country you rest, in the city yor
work; the country is Gods Sabbath,
the city mans weekday. Tlc coun.
try is GOd-made, the city man-:ladc
in the country are birds, in the city
orchestras; in the country flowers, il
the city dresses; in the country sun
sets, in the city art collections; in the
country stars, in the city gas-lights;
strike your balance.
The English folk are wiser than the
Americans; they live in The country
and 60 to town; Americans live in
town and 60 to the country. The
rush of the age is downward. Rural
life is at a discount. Country cou5'
ms" are Il pretty jest. "Countrided"
is a term of reproach, Town and
city populations are on the increase,
rural homes on the decrease; and with
them home-life. For homes are eX-
pensive luxuries in town; hotels, res
taurants, boarding houses, flats, tcne'
mcnts, afford poor substitutes. We
raise no protest against the tendency
knowing it will be useless. We assure
our country readers that they are
better off than their envied city
cousins. The country is the place to
live in. The country makes men; the
city uses them up.

The frightful story of the extremi-
ties to which the Greely party were re-
duced in the desolate regions of the
North Pole has caused considerable
discussion of the subject of cannibal-
ism. Many eminent archpologists as
sert that without any doubt the primi-
tive ancestors of all races of men were
cannbals, and it has taken consider
able time and very potent arguments
to induce the Fiji Islanders to dispense
with their favorite dish of human
flesh. King Thakambau, who was
feted by the Queen and the aristocracy
of England few years ago, was an in
veterate cannibal until short time
before his visit to Europe and invent
ed many refined methods of cruelty
toward his unhappy prisoners, while
they were yet alive, in order that his
astronomical tastes should be graft
fled. Nowadays the missionaries take
great pride in introducing one of their
dusky converts with the explanation
"IIe was formerly a cannibal," as if it
were mark of distinction. 1t is said
that the severest test to which the
missionary's pupil can be subjected is
to induce him to take the pledge
against cannibalism, and, like reformed
topers, the islanders have to be watched
closely lest they backslide into their
horrid orgies. The light of Christian
ity spreading over the earth has gradu-
ally dispelled all the abominable prac-
tices of barbarism, and now we hear
only of cannibalism in cases of the
drest extremity, such as the unfortu-
nate Greely party was subjected to-

Down in Australia, that great island
where the Creator seems to have planted
the seed of many of His wonders to be
found in the vegetable kingdom, grows
a tree that is little heard of by the out
side world, but which is of ineStimable
value to the native, who depends more
upon the productions of nature for ex-
istence and happiness than upon the
creations of art and science. 1t is the
grass tree. 1t is of small growth, being
hardly more than shrub. AT the top
are tufts of foliage resembling palms,
from the center of which long slender
spike shoots out, covered with flowers of
varied and beautiful hues. The base Of
the leaves of this tree furnishes the ma
tive with food, it being very pllatable
when roasted. The sap of the tree is
a balsamic eXudation which when ex-
posed to the air becomes hard and dry.
This is one of natures best tonics for
dysentery, diarrhea and other intesti-
nal maladies; it is also used by the ma
tives for healing wounds, which it does
very quickly; and when it is mixed
with alluvial soil, it forms very tena-

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A higher duty is won by kindness
than can be secured by fear.
1t is more honorable to acknowledge
our faults than to boast of our merits.
There is no knife that cuts so sharp
ly, and with such poisoned blade, as
treachery.
No great characters are formed in
this world without suffering and self
denial.
Rest satisfied ith doing well, and
leave others to talk of you as they
please.
Do not lose courage by considering
your own imperfections, but instantly
set about remedying them.
Virtue will catch as well as vice by
contact; and the public stock of hon

Do not add, and why were such things
made in the world?
He that sympathizes in all the
happiness of others enjoys the safest
happiness; and he that is warned by
the folly of others has attained the
soundest wisdom.
Happiness dotes on her work, and
is prodigal to her favorite. AS one
drop of water hath an attraction for
another, 50 do felicities run into
felicities.
The hours We pass with happy pros
poets in view are more pleasing than
those crowned with fruition. In the
first instance. we cook the dish to our
own appetite; in the latter, nature
cooks it for us.
The head truly enlightened will
presently have a wonderful influence
in purifying the heart, and the heart
really affected with goodness will con-
duce to the directing of the head.

paper" said the builder, "aad, while it
costs about the same as wood, is much
better, because there is no shrinking,
swelling, cracking, or warping. 1t is
composed of two thick paper boards,
stamped and moulded into panels and
glued together with glue and potash,
and then rolled through heavy rollers.
