Men may preach and the world
will listen, but profit comes by
example. A parent inculcates
gentleness in his children by
many sound precepts; but they
see him treat a dumb animal in a
harsh manner. and in consequence
his instructions are worse than
lost, for they are neither needed or
respected. His example as a
gentle and humane man would
have been sufficient for his child
rem without a word of command.

CANNIBALS' QUEER ACTS.
Interesting Statistics In Regard to
Eating Hannah FLESH.

Manuscript recently disc oyered in the
neighborhool of Cairo gives some inter-
esting information in regard TO canni-
halism. For thousands of years the
fashion Of eating human flesh prevailed
in Cairo ard ihe adjoining country. The
obiect t., however, was not TO satisfy hum
ger, but rather to honor the dead. Only
the a-ils and legs were eaten, and for
nj We i:row to the contrary the remain
iug portions c: the bodies were treated
with hecomiGg reverence.

And every row of clearinghouse
And blocks so neatly shaded,

When basliful beaux around the door
Were waiting for her greeting.

Her wedding-gown discloses,

The colors grew more sober,
Till middle age demurely went
In browns of sere October.
So you can read her quiet life,

Her locks were thin and hoary,
For blocks of wooden, black and gray
