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."
"L'Lnconnuk."

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?
Hing in aud pay tho debt for him/ a
fearful change came over that intelli
gent face?her eyes flashed Gr?.
'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.' 'How dare you sit there
aud tell that lie? I was awake whon
you came in, und looked at my watch
?it was three o'clock. 'Well, isn't
three a quarter of twelve.
