Planting Nails for Iron.

Before the arrival of Europeans
in the South Sea Islands, the inhab-
itants, or Polynesians, as they are
called, were not acquainted with
metal. All their weapons and i'm
plements of husbandry were rade
Of flint and stone, or even of hard
wood. Though only savages, they
ornamented their war-cldb, canoes,
household utensils, and the outside
of their houses, with beautiful carv-
ing, all of which was executed
with tools made either of jade or
sharks teeth, and must have cost
them immense labor.
When Captain Cook visited Tah-
iii and the various islands in the
South Sea, he found that the native
would give anything for nails or
pieces of old iron, so when he set
out in A. d. l772 on his second
voyage round the world, he took
with him, besides other articles, q
quantity fspike nails to exchange
with the natives for provisions. A
spike nail of superior size was the
most highly priced present he could
make to a chief; and as he cruised
among the Polynesian Islands, his
supply Of nails running short. he

Two Gantlemen.

There are no distinctions of rank
when people are in need. Here is
one instance of many which pleas
antly illustrates this:
An old Scotchman was taking his
grist to mill in sacks thrown across
the back of his horse, when the
animal stumbled, and the grain fell
to the ground. He had not strength
to raise it, being an aged man. but
he saw horseman riding along and
thought he would appeal to him for
help. But the horseman proved to
be the nobleman who lived in the
castle hard by, and the farmer could
not muster courage to ask a favor
of him. But the nobleman was a
gentleman, al,o, and, not waiting to
be asked, he quickly dismounted,
and between them they lifted the
grain to the horses back. john
for he was a gentleman too-lifted
his Kilmarnock bonnet, and said:
MY lord, how shall / ever thank
you for your kindness?"
VERY easily, john" replied the
nobleman. whenever you see an
other man in the same plight you
were in just now, help him, and
that will be thanking me"

set his smiths to work to make
more.
Now, as the natives knew nothing
of metal, they at first imagined that
iron must be some kind of very
hard wood, and as the nails resem-
bled in shape the seeds Of one of
their fruit-trees, they thought that
these nails, brought by the wonder
full white people, were the seeds of
the iron-tree which grew in their
far-of country. So they carefully
planted some in their gardens; but,
after waiting for the nails to sprout,
they were disappointed to find that
it was only a nail still, and that
there was no hope of its ever grow
ing into tree and producing iron.
However, they soon found that
they could kill each other more
easily with iron than with flint or
stone, so instead Of planting them
they turned their nails into weapons
of destruction. A metal needle.
