BB In the January number of Harper's Magazine are some notes of Southern travel by Barnet PhiHips, which we copy: Ia- the' St. Lawrence there are the Thousand Islands. Whether they feil by one or two that complete roundness of ten times one Hundred - I do not know. On the southern end ?^p? the Gulf State there may be seen on the map a stretch called the Ten Thousand Islands. Ile was a very ? unimaginative person, niggardly, haying a dread of exaggeration, who named these wonderfal islands. Ile skimped his nomenclature. There ate hot ten. thousand islands ; there must be a.million of them, and more to spare, almost all of them covered with mangroves. To describe them were-a_ di?cnlt task. I may succeed, -perhaps, in giving a faint idea o? \ their number by asking the reader to \ think of one of those old mosaic floors the Romans delighted in. The infinite . counties?; little bits of stone are the friands, the cement the water. Island after island appears, emerging out of these blue bays. Some are but a few acres in size ; then there are ethers with an area of several square miles. . .Now the channel between them is so narrow that a boat cannot pass, and then ?t expands to a mile wide. Beau? tiful silent "harbors""are entered, with peninsulas jutting into them, and be? hind comes labyrinth. It is an end? less archipelago, ail green and sm il aug. A man might hide himself hei e, provided he could ouly live, and re? main uncaught forever ; tracking him would be impossible. Only here and there on some of the islands is there the appearance of land, perceptible by a thin ridge. You can tell it by the hard wood growing on it. Cen? turies ago this island might have been on the sea front, and some storm threw np"the seabottom. Stretching then out in every direction, these in? tricate islands block the way. There may be. eight, ten, or twenty mile* to cross^ before the mainland would be reacl?ed--that is, if you had the wingiof -a" man-of-war bird, and could fly. In a boat, working in and out - through this maze, you would have to " row maybe one hundred miles; then ? .?w?^yoS'mlgntTetch up on Florida ^^pr?per. ;^his.\-wontd be that hazy ^country"which little boys read about on their maps, spelling it out, "The* /v Everrfades," the "Ever" ^describing capitally the constant appearance of a great deal of water, occasional hum t mocks, the true home of the alligator, a Godforsaken region, where the saw grass"impc'des progress. We made a trip to Pine- Island, which lies wedge-like parallel with the outer .key. .-Here we found the ; cocoa-nnt and lem on trees, tire branch? es laden down with magnificent fruit. Here we came across certain diminu 7 tive Robinson Crusoes which excited I pur sympathies. On this island, with a sad-looking and dilapidated father, lived, four children. You approached the place through shallows barely navigable with a light draught boat at high tide. A ram-shackle structure on rotten piles was the landing. This settlement' was twenty miles from anywhere. " The house, the size of a small stable, looked as if built years before, and was open to all the winds of beaven. - As the winds, however, are never cold here, that perhaps was not Important, bul from April, as the very floodgates of heaven are open, that family must have been drowned out for'months Some time before, so we learned, while the father was ab? sent/the mother died, and these poor bairns with their own hands dug a grave and buried their mother. How that family managed to eke out an existence God only knows. Shells of the gopher, the .land tortoise, were strewn around, suggestive of misera? ble food. Fish, though, might have been plenty. Two grim dogs, lean and lank, slunk around the house. The master of these surroundings told ns the dogs were only in good condi? tion when alligators were plentiful. The house contained scarcely any? thing. There was a.grimy table, and a few boxes serving as chairs. We saw not a cup or t-aucer ; there were no beds. A tame crane, that did not seem to heed our presence, flopped around. That bird was a convincing proof thal those little girls bad be? stowed their love on something, and tl is was their pet. Fancy a lad of twelve having for a toy a squirming alligator some three l?et long ? Not a very lovable com? panion, nor one to be on intimate terms with. But it was the only thing the boy could find. Evidently it was something not to be fooled with, for the 'gator's jaws were bound with a bit of rag. At our re? quest this ligature was loosed, when ; 4his ugly brute at once made for the boot of one of the party and fastened his teeth in it, and would not let go ?util his mouth was forced open. The children could read a little, and, strange to say, the "Vicar of Wake? field" had been their horn-book. It | was the only bound volume the father j .possessed. There were, though, asl additions to the library, a few tattered j numbers of children's magazines of j years long gone past. There was a | shite, and at once the artistic young j fellow stacked his gun, dropped his ? Abruzzi manner, and drew for the children pretty and funny pictures, .until that poor,miserable house echoed . ?gain with laughter and cries of de Eght. The Iadj instead of marbles, I played with the ugly fangs of the -'gator, and was himself the slayer cf ^saurians. To judge from a miserable fire-arm we saw, belonging to the father, I should think the risk the boy ran was greater than that of the ali? gator. Then the misanthropist of the party, who often wondered why peo? ple ever wrote books br magizine sto? ries, and was always amazed why people read them, made up his miud that that library on Piue Island should be increased, and if the mail facilities have not quite gone wrong, it is sup? posable that before this these children have a supply of juvenile literature sufficient to last them for some time to come. A : Happy New Year. That 1885 should prove to be the most blessed twelvemonth yet expe [ rienced by us is God's wish, as well as that of our friends, for _happiness is the chief jewel in the corouet with which he wishes to crown us. But his wish may mean sorrow as well as joy, siuce "Before honor com? eth humility, and it is they that mourn that shall be comforted." It is out of the tears of the sky that rainbows are woven. Sore afflictions often stand, like gates, between us and gladness. The best soils are composed of rocks which, by heat and frost aud glacier 1 and earthquake, have been ground to ! dust. Upon such fields are reaped the graudest grain crops grown on the whole cereal belt, and upon them stand the thickest grasses and tallest forests found in any zone. It may be that tribulation alone can pulverize our stubborn wills and worldly hearts and vain intellects into such soil as shall be able to produce the choicest fruits of the Spirit. Perhaps, in order that this may be our happiest year, it must also be our saddest. As iron which is to be wrought into the fiuest cutlery lies first in the fire and on the anvil, so possibly, ere you or 1 can be shaped into a "vessel unto honor," we must first pass through the furnace, and have showered upon us, thick and hard, the blows of God's providential hammers. * Crucifixion precedes coronation, and if we shall experience this year what may seem to us God's cruelest judgments, it should comfort us to reflect that, quite likely, they are only preparing us to appreciate and receive some of His best gifts. God earnestly wishes us all "a happy new year," and yet He will permit many of us to be overtaken by sorrow, sickness, bereavement and tears; for Ile desires that 1885 shall seem brightest when looked at from afar. It is said, that our earth, when viewed from stellar standpoints, shines like a fixed and fiery star. Thus may it be with this New Year npou which we are entering. Its most painful experiences shall work out for us "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." It will present a very different appearance when gazed upon from the pinnacle of the centuries than it will while passing. We are not to be done with 1885 when it ends. We shall never be done with it. It and all our past years will affect us forever. As a burned child often brings its baby? hood scars up into old age, and wears them beneath the whitening locks and deepening furrows of Iiis evening time, so the joys and sorrows, the work and play, the sins and sancti? ties of all our ended years are help ing to make or mar our present. This globe has been molded into what it now is, not by the physical phenom? ena of one year or century, but by all the rainfalls and whirlwinds, all the earthquakes and cataclysms, all the volcanic up-lifts and glacier grad? ings experienced by it through the unnumbered ages during which it has been journeying around the sun. God, in wishing us "a happy New Year," does not mean one which, while passing, shall prove an unmixed delight, but one which, when all its prosperities and adversities, its sun? shine and its shadows, have been ex? ercising their molding influence upon our characters for hundreds and thou? sands of years, shall be pronounced, v?hen looked back upon from eterni? ty's discriminating standpoint,. to have been one of our very best-one which, seen from afar, shines like a sun in tile firmament. An Old Soldier's EXPERIENCE. u Calvert, Texas, May 3,1882. I Trish to express my appreciation of the Tamable qualities of Ayers Cherry Pectoral as a cough remedy. While -arith Churchill's anny, just before .fte battle of Vicksburg, I contracted a se? vere cold, "which terminated in a dangerous cough. I found no relief till on our march vre came to a country store, where, on asking for some remedy, I -was urged to try AYEB'S CHERRY PECTORAL. ?? i did so, and was rapidly cured. Since then I have kept thc PECTORAL constantly by me, for family use, and I have found it co be an invaluable remedy for throat and lung diseases. J. W. WHITLEY." Thousands of testimonials certify to the prompt cure of all bronchial and lung affections, by the use of AYEB'S CHERRY PECTORAL. Being very palatable; the young? est children take it readily.
