HAMILTON, a pi 'A 1875 ly [From the True .Southron.] A Sabbath in Southland. The perfumed languid air is faint with . sweetness, The golden orb slants slowly to the West, The softened healing of the far-oil' chimes, Proclaims the day of worship and of rest. The great wide roses show their hearts of | flame, The hyacinth and pansy gem the sod, The broad magnolia from its chalice white, -Offers Swectiur/ojisetO-tts maker, God. The ripple of the murmurous waves is h??^> I Which, silver-crested, ride the Hashing But o'er, it broods a holy calm as when, He stilled the tempest of blue tialilee. Lord of the tempest, still eaeh wayward heart, As ont o thou didVt that vexed and angry sea, And n'er them breathe the sweetly solemn thought, "This is the day that thou shall worship LikhElfroiaithe'?ordcn cW.softns to fall Over its battlements, through its gates ajar, And with the car of faith we seem tu catch, The music of the harpers fain land far. Now thro' the quiv'ring evening air, the sun, Throws o'er the scene his lingering level rays, And from our softened hearts arise the words, "Father, we thank Thee for these Sabbath days."

The Man-Kating Tree. Dr, Jay writes from Madagascar to the South Australian Register: If you can imagine a pineapple, eight feet high and thick in proportion, resting upon its base, and denuded of leaves, you will have a good idea of the trunk, of the tree, which, however, was not the color of an annim, but a dark, dingy, brown, and apparently as hard as iron. From the apex of this frustrated come (at least two feet in diameter) eight huge leaves sheer to the ground, like doors swung back on their hinges, These leaves, which were joined at the top of the tree at regular intervals, were about eleven or twelve feet long, and shaped very much like the leaves of an American agave or century plant; They arc two feet through in their thickest point and three feet wide, tapering to a sharp point that looked like a cow's horn, very convex on the outer (but now under surface) and on the under (now upper) surface slightly concave. Uhis concave face was thickly set with strong thorny hooks like those upon the head of the teazle. The leaves, hanging thus limp and lifeless, dead green iu color,0iad in appearance the massive strength of oak fibre; The apex of the cone was a round, white, concave figure, like a smaller plate set. within a larger one. This was not a flower, but a receptacle, and there exuded it into a clear treacly liquid honey, sweet, and possessed of violent intoxicating and soporific properties. From underneath the rim (so to spdhk) of the undermost plate a series of long, hairy, green tendrils stretch ed out in every direction toward the horizon. These were seven or eight feet long, and tu pored from four inches to a half inch in diameter, yet they stretched out stillly as iron rods. Above these (from between the upper and under cup) six while, almost trarsparent palpi reared themselves toward thy sky, twirling and twisting with a marvellous incessant motion, yet constantly reaching upward. Thin as reeds, and frail as quills, apparent ly, were yet five or six feet tall, and were so constantly and vigorously in motiou, with such a'subtlc,siuuous, silent, throbbing against tho air, with their suggestions of serpents fluyed, yet dancing on their tails. My obser vations on this occasion were suddenly interrupted by the natives, who hail been shrieking around the tree with their shrill voices, and chanting what Ilc?drtek told mc w ere propitiatory hyiTins to the great tree devil. With still wilder shrieks and chants thcy^uowsurrounded one ol the women nud . urged her with points of their javoliris until slowly, and with despair ing face, she climbed up the stalk of the tree and stood ou the summit of thevconc, the palpi swirling all about her. "Tsnk 1" "Tsik !" (Drink ! drink 0 cried the men. Stooping, she drank of the viscid fluid in the cup, rising instantly again, with wild frenzy in her face and convulsive cords in her limbs. Dut sho did hot jump down, ns sbo seemed intend to do. Oh, no! The atrocious cannibal tree, that had been* so inert and dead, came to sud den Ravage life. The slender delicate palpi with the fury of starved serpents, quivered a moment over her head, then, as if instinct with demoniac in telligence, fastened upon her in sud den coils round and round her neck and arms, and while her awful screams and yet more awful laughter rose, wildly to be instantly strangled down again into a gurgling moan, the tendrils, one after another, like great green serpents, with brutal energy ami infernal rapidity, rose, contracted themselves, and wrapped her about in folds a.tor folds, ever tightening wiih cruel swiftness and ravage tenacity of anacondas fastening upon thoir prey. It was the barbarity of the Laocoon without its beauty?this strange hor ?fir'fffr^iudfu'i.U1**1*! ud ' now Hie great leaves rose slowly and stiflly, like the arms of a derrick, erected tliedl^c'ves iu the air, approached one another, and closed about the dead and hampered victim with the silent force of a hydraulic press and the ruthless purpose of a thumbscrew. A moment more, and while 1 could see the bases of theses great leaves pressing more tightly toward each other from their interstices, there trickled down the stalk of the tree great streams of the viscid honey-like fluid, mingled hor ribly with the blood and oozing viscera of the victim. At sight of this the savngc hordes around me, yelling madly bounded forward, crowded to the tree, clasped it, and with cups, '?raves, hands and tongues, each one obtained enough of the liquid to send him mad and frantic. Tito llackuniu in Court. 'Your name is?is?what?, asked the Court. 'Davey, sir?George Davey.' 'And you work at?what?' 'Drive hack.' 'Ah?ha !' smiled his Honor, ac quiring sudden interest; 'this is worth twenty dollars to tue. You arc. one of those men .who s?uml on tbe edge of the walk at tho depots and shout 'llax !' at people.' '1 have to git passengers, sir,' 'Don't suss me back, Mr. Davey?1 known all nootit you ! Only the oth er day, as 1 returned from a Mayday parly in tbe country, there were one million five hundred and sixty-five thousand three hundred and ninety two of you on the curb stone, and every one of you yelled ' llax !' at me. Ouj seized my satchel, another grabbed at my coat, ami another pulled me backward by the coat tails. 1 believe you are that man !' ' 'Deed, sir, 1 haint.' 'Well, it's barely possible that I am mistaken, but here's a charge that you were lying oil the walk drunk.? ?1 wasn't,sir; I was silling up along side a house." 'That's too fine a point to argue. Were you drunk ?' Only sprung, sir; only a little sprung.' 'That's just as bad in the sight of the law, and J ought to fine you 8701).' 'Giriishus ? but 1 could never pay that!' 'No; my object would bo to keep you in prison all your days.' ?Oh, let up on a feller,' pleaded the prisouer. 'This is the first time, and it shall be the last. I've a large fami ly, sir, and they need my wages to get their bread.' His Honor took a long time to think, and then replied 'It is wrong to let you off. The citizens will condemn me, and the newspapers will blow at me, but I be lieve I'll give you a show- You may go, but I shall keep watch "of you. You must mend your ways right oil". Instead of yelling 'llrtx !' at a man, do you smile, anil softly whisper: 'sir, can I have the pleasure of conveying you to some designated point ?' Prom ise me ihis?' The prisoner promised, and was al lowed to disappear, limping sadly with a sore heel. An Exciting Contest. Last winter two of my neighbors, Mr. Miller and Mr. Grant, lost their wives upon the same day, and both of the funerals took place three days af terward, the interments being made at the cemetery about the same hour. As the two funeral parties were com ing out of the burying ground, Miller met Grant, and clasping each other's hand they indulged in a sympathetic squeeze, and the following conversa tion ensued Miller.?'I'm sorry for you, It's an unspeakable loss isn't it?' Grant*?'Awful ! She was the best woman that ever lived.' Miller.?'She was indeed. I never met her equal. She was a good wife, to me.' Graul.?'I was referring to ui)' wife. There couldn't he two best you know.'. Miller.?'! es, 1 know. I know well enough that your wite couldn't hold a candle to mine.' Grant.?'She couldn't, hey? Couldn't hold a candle. Why she could dance all round Mrs. Miller every day in the week including Sun days, and not half try! Sh* was an unmitigated angei take her any way you would." Miller.?'Oh, she wiu?, was she? Well I don't want to be personal but if i owned a cross eyed angel with red hair and no tec h, and as bony as an omnibus horse, I'd kill her if she didn't die of her own accord. Dance! How could a woman dance that had feet like caudle boxes, and lame at that ?' Grant.?'Better be cross-eyed than wear the kind of a red. nose that your wife nourished around this eonuu ui ty. I bet it'll burn a hole through the coffin lid. And you pretend you're sorry she's stepped out! But you can't impose on me! 1 know you're so glad you can hardly hold in. She was the chuck lc-heudcdsl woman that ever disgraced a grave yard; that's what she was.' Miller.?'If you abuse my wife, I'll knock the head off of you.' Grant.?'I'd like to sac you try it.' Then the two disconsolate widowers engaged in a hand-to-hand combat; ami after lighting awhile in the snow the mourners pulled them apart just as Mr. Miller was about to insist upjn his wife's virtues by biting off Mr, Cirant's nose. Hill Mnltihc. In these stagt ant times people should be grateful for anything that will provoke a smile. Two old color ed ladies met recently iu a grocery store in Columbia, and, while making their purchases, of course "talked cllit ich." 'Well,' said one, 'Brother Go!din ljiis lo.*t his house.' 'Why, how he lose it ?' asked the other. 'Well, you know ho borrowed money outen that 'sociation, whatever you call it, that lends money (build ing and loan suggested a bystander), that's it. Well, he got tic money outen him, and failed to pay it hack, you know, so you see this?what's his name? (building and lo?u again suggested)?comes down hot on Brother Go ding, and lakes tho place hodaci iusly from him.' Up to this portion of the narrative -zw-;-?-j?j-."..; the countenance of the listening sister hud been expressive only'ofa polito interest and mournful Christian sympnthy in the misfortunes of Broth er Goldin; but when tho speaker won't ou to say : 'And now Brother Goldin wants we members of the church t?

'He do/ ?ue cried emphatically, placing her hands upou her hips, and striking a . determined altitude,'ho do, does he ? Well, I can jist tell you one thing: I yearns nil I git, aiid ef Bill Malone never gits paid for that house tell he gits it outen Mnrider* he'll never git it while his head's hot. Whose Bill Malone, I'd like to know/ she continued, lashing herself into a fury, 'that he can't wait for his money as well as other people ? He's some hereticle old orbelicver, or ho wouldn't be so hard down on a mem ber of the church; but lie'll brile fofr it hereafter, that's one comfort.' And gathering up her bundles?not in her indignation forgetting one?she tossed her head and marched out of the Storp. When last hoard from she was still abusing 'old Bill Malone.' How to Calculate Intercut and What ft Will do. The following rules are so simple and so tine according to all business usage, that every baaker, broker, merchant or clerk should post them up for reference. There being no such thing as a fraction in it, there Is scarcely any liability to error or mis take. By no other arithmetical pro cess can the desire^ information be obtained by so few figures: Six per ccutr^Multiply any gives *iMffflScr>-af du^]AiM??^vniriuiinfuer of? days of interest desired, separate the right hand figure and divide by six; the result is the true interest on such number of days at six percent. Eight per cent?Multiply any given amount for the number of days upou which it is desired to ascertain the interest, and divide by forty-five, and the result will be the interest of such sum for the time required, at tight per cent. What it will do. If a mechanic or clerk saves oiily 2i cents a day, from the time he is twenty-one until he is threescore and ten, the aggregate, with interest, will amount to $2,900; and a daily saving of 971 cents reaches the important sum of 859,000. A six pence saved daily will provide a sum of 87,000?suflicient to purchase a good farm. y' m.*' ! There are few employers who can-' not save daily, by abstaining from the uso of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc., tw ice or ten times the amount of the six cent piece. Every person should provide for old age, und the man ia business who can save a dollar a day will eventually find himself possessed of over $100,000. 'It isn't so very late?only n quarter of twelve.'
