Leather pipes, or hone, were employed, which werd laid ou llse ground. Due morning, while the water was being supplied, the minaret sounded. In prayer, and one of tiie Turkish soldiers humor hi ttrly went flop on his knees to praise Allah?

And, i c* m pie led, would it not beggar the North The fourth and fifth problems are e?peci ally interesting at this lime, when tin British and Fiench Governments aro look ing about for labor (in some form, even i it be a partial revival of the slavs trade un dur another name) to grow sugar, ant when one of the most interesting subjects it Manchester and Lowell is the mode of pro curing an inet eased supply of cotton.

Dkatii in Lire.?'' be following is from an article by Oliver W. Holme*, in the last number of the North American lieview:-. "If tlie reader of this paper live another complete year, .hi* self-conscious principle will have migrated fioiu his present tene meut to another, the rHW material even of which are hot n9 yet put together. A portion of hat body of his which is to be, will ripen in the corn of the next harvest. Another portion of his future person lie will purchase, or other* will purchase for him, headed up in the form of certain barrels of potatoes. A third traction is yet to be gathered in a Southern rice-Held. The |iuih* with which he is then to walk will bo clad with tlesli borrowed from tho tenants of many stalls and pastures, now un conscious of their doom. Thy very organs of speech wiih which he ia lo talk &?? wisely, plead so eloquently, or preach so cfl'cclive!y, must fiisi serve his humbler brethren to blent, to bellow, and for hII the varied ut le ranees of bristled or feathered bant yard life. His boues themselves are, to a great extent, in j?ossc and uot in ante. "A bag of phosphate of lime which he has ordered fro ft! l'rof. Mapes, for his grout '*, contains a large part of what is to bo his next year's skeleton. And more than all this, and by far the greatfer part of his body is nothing, after all, but water; the main sub*tanee of his scattered members is lo be looked for in the reservoir, in the running streams, at the bottom of the well, in tlie clouds that float over bis head, or dif fused among them all."
