THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24. ONE LESS AT HOME-Ox?E MORE IN HEAVEN. One less at home I The charmed circle broken-a dear face Missed day by day from its accustomed place, But cleansed and saved and perfected by -grace; One more ia heaven I One less at heme 1 One voice of welcome hushed, and evermore One farewell word spoken; on the shore Where parting comes not, one soul landed more One more in heaven ! One less at home! Chill as the earth-born mist the thought would rise, And wrap our footsteps' round, and dim our eyes. But the bright sunbeam darteth from the ..-. skies One more in heaven ! One more at home I This is not borne, where, cramped in earthly ' mold, Our sight of Christ is dim-our love is cold, But there, where face to face, we shall behold. Is borne and heaven I One less at home ! Its pain, its sorrow, and its toil to share ; One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear, One more the crown of ransomed souls to wear, * - At borne in heaven I One more in heaven ! Another thought to brighten cloudy days, Another theme for thankfulness and praise, Another link on high our souls to raise' To home and heaven ! One more at home ! That home where separation cannot be, That, home where none are missed eternally, Lord Jesus, grant ns all a place with thee, At home in beaven 1 -Sarah Geraldine Stock. Religious Miscellany.

The "Norfolk Landmarky io report? ing two recent sermons of the Rev.

John Quincy Adams stated that since he was thirty years old he had been accustomed, among the first thia gs, to read the Bible every morning. With few interruptions he followed the prac? tice over half a century. *I believe there is not a day for the last thirty years, that I have not peeped at my Bible. I can say the greater part of the Bible by heart.' O brethren, let us read our Bibles more. It ts written that the angels desire to look into these things Let os have the same desire. This country of oars is a Christian country, or at least many of its citizens are believers in the true God. Shall their magnificent fortunes be Christiao fortunes? That is the question which plainly concerns Americans. That is the question on whose answer depends the future of this country. If they are Christian fortunes, they will exist unselfishly, for unselfishness is the dis? tinguishing nature of Christianity. If they are Christian fortunes, they will Dot keep themselves to themselves building themselves to larger greatness at the expense of those about them bat they will make themselves per? petual blessings, and thc American Pliny shall write that magnificent for? tunes did not destroy America, but made her magnificent.-?V. i*. Church? man. Why are men so harsh in dealing with each other ? Why are the faults magnified or dwelt upon, while the good is ignored or minimized ? If meo would be more charitable to their fellows life would possess more charm?. The following from the Richmond Religious Herald is worth copying for the lesson it teaches: 'Rev. M D. H?ge. D. D., said something like this to hts 9->ck, recent? ly : 'Of late, several of our prominent business men have died, and I have been impressed by the many good thiogs said about them since their demise. Nothing bot good is said ; every tbing else is forgotten. It was thus with David wheo he pronounced his eulogy opon Saul. David could not be unmindful of .Saul's faults, and yrt he makes no allusion to them now, that he is dead. Why is it that we all do not with something of the same generosity spt3k weil of the living?' AN ODD CEREMONY. TIio Burial of an African King by His Sar age Subjects-The Giltey Gilley Doctors. Among thc passengers on board the schooner Lottie Beard, brought to this port from Kabenda on her recent pas sage, was a young man of perhaps 17, who attracted thc eyes of the observers that had gathered on the wharf to wit ness the arrival of the vessel. The young man's name was Arch Steel, and his native place Dennison, Iowa. He is a son of a retired and well-to-do furniture dealer of that place, and a Methodist missionary. Ee went away last March and returned tecause of home-sickness. He was one of Bishop Taylor's colony that left for Africa m March, which con? sisted of twenty-seven persons, includ? ing men, woman, and children, and apprentices. It sailed by steamer from ?Sew York on the 20th of last March, and first landed at Madeira, The next port was Teneriffe, one of the largest islands of the Canary group, where a day or two was spent. At Grand Canary islands a short stay was made which al? lowed the party time to visit the Jesuit cathedral. A change of steamers wag here made, and the party embarked aboard the steamer Nubian for Sierra Leonei Proceeding down the coast, M ay am bia was reached, which was the headquar? ters at that time of Bishop Taylor. With Bishop Taylor the party proceed? ed and arrived at Kabenda the 20th of May. *:Upon a first landing at Kabenda," said Mr. Steel, ,4we were met by the governor of the place and invited to take dinner and supper with him. The next day he picked out a place for ns to pitch our tents and gave us a couple of natives to help do our work, which we paid by giving them a certain quantity of cloth. Kabenda comprises a settle? ment of fifty-four towns within a dis? tance of ten miles of the bay where we landed, with a population of 500,000, Shortly after we arrived at Kabenda a king of one of the more important towns died, and whenever a king dies a week is taken to bury him. ..In this case a huge coffin 12 feet lona 9 feet high, and 3 feet wide was built on a rack 6 feet high with im? mense wheels. It was only a short dis? tance from' the king's house to the bur? ial place, but the rack is moved only a ; short distance each day~ A large dele-" gation of natives from each town held services around the coffin, and they made the day and night hideous with the noises from their rude. instruments, the principal one being a tom-tom or nativ?^drhm.*" ~ .*A big bell is suspended from the rack, which is rung at regular intervals. The crowd around the funeral rack at night; is larger than in the day-time, and everybody dances. That is, they torn round and round on one spot, but do not move in a circle. " ..The most impressive part of ?he cere? mony is that performed by gilley-fplley doctors or medicine men. Every Dody gets drunk on the rum, which is pur? chased of English traders, and which is a great deal worse than American rum. While a certain part of the na? tives are holding services aroun<f the coffin, another party is engaged in dig? ging an immense grave, "which was over twenty feet deep,. The grav?is always dug at night by the light of torches, made of native gum, and car I ried by women on the edge of the grave. -Singing is kept up throughout thc night. Ou the morning of the hist day the coffin is lowered into the grave and the natives disperse to their homes. ; Nearly ail the men on the coast have coats, which they obtain from sailors in steamers by. selling them parrots, and the women nearly all have garments of American cloth. My outfit cost about $300; X bought all my books. The aver? age cost of an ou;fit is about $150, and is supplied by the Foreign Missionary ? society. . "Witchcraft prevails to a certain ex? tent among the natives of Kabenda, and if any person bas been offended ia any manner by another person be I charges him with witchcraft, and the ! giUey-gilley doctors take him in charge and administer a dose of sass wood. If the mixture makes the person vomit he is adjudged not guiltv of witchcraft, but if he does not votult he is looked upon as a witch. His lands and goods are taken from him and given to the person whom he has offended. This has been done since our parry landed there, and it is hard to make them be? lieve there is no such thing as witch? craft"' Mr. Steel stated that he intended go? ing back to-school when he got home, and fit for college where he would study for the ministry, but would not go back to Africa.-New Bedford Cor, Booton Globe. Prettiest Clerk in Washington. It is said that the prettiest girl in the employ of thc government is' a copyist at the "Navy Department. This is say iD? a good deal, as about 4,000 women hold- positions in Washington, and prob? ably 2,000 more in other parts of thc country are receiving salaries from Uncle Sam. Some of the "countesses," as the girl3 employed in the treasury are called, are very pretty, but the belle of the navy is claimed to be entitled to the apple of Paris. She is a niece of our minister to England, Phelps, and her family reside in this city. For about four years the young lady has been em? ployed as a tvpo writer tn the office of Commodore Walker, the chief of the bureau of detail, receiving a salary of $y00 a year. She is a dark-eyed blonde with a beautiful figure, aud the officers of the navy are all her devoted slaves. She was so mnch interrupted in ber work by them that Commander McCalla, in whose room she is, was compelled to prohibit the officers from interviewing her in department hours, and got a large screen behind which her attract? ions are now hidden. If thc command? er leaves his room for a moment there is certain to be some bold youug tar about the building to run in for a chat with tho beauty, and when McCalla returns thc culprit is profuse in bis ex? cuses. 1 he number of officers who have type writing; to be dono is astonishing, and thev all want to superintend the work. The young lady does not appear to bc aware of her attractions, but can? not but notice that the other typo writers are not in such demand as her? self. When she leaves the department at night there are generally two or more officers accidentally waiting in the corridor to escort her safely down the elevator and see her to tho street car. How Arajjo Mcasnred the Power of Steam. The experiments which were entered upon for the purpose of measuring thc force o? the vapor of water were very important and very dangerous-impor? tant^, because thc safe working of steam engines was dependent upon correct measurements of thc; force, ami because | all the properties of heat had to be pass? ed in review; and dangerous, bi eaw.se they ..imposed the task of conforming tiie unknown caprices of :i formidable foice. There were but two men to ac? cept it and conduct it :o success: Arago, who never shrank from a duty; and j Dulong, already maimed by an explo? sion, whose previous studies had ad? mirably titted him for the new work." A rude manometer was extemporized, and a boiler, far less stand) than the steam-boilers of to-day, was set up, ia j which water was heated till thc pressure ! was twenty-seven atmospheres. "They ! could not go further. At this extreme ; poinr. it leaked at ail thc joints, and j the steam escaped through the fissures with a hissing that was of bad omen. ' But the observers, though aware of the danger, silent atid resigned, finished without accident the measurements which they had begun." Tellium M. Jamin the story, which was written out as above from his dictation. Anigo said: "Only one being of our company pre? served his sercuitj- and slept quietly; it was Dulong's dog; they caiied him Omicron."-L'oputar ?dence Montl?y. Are Monkeys Mimics? The authority of Scripture (1 Kings, x, 22) warrants the belief that monkeys formed ai: article ot commerce as much as twenty-eight centuries ago, so that no lack of time can have prevented us from studying the habits of our four handed relatives; yet it would hardly j be an ovsrestimate to say that nine hun? dred and ninety-nine of a thousand men persist in the belief that monkeys have a passion for imitating thc actions of their two-handed kinsmen; that, for in? stance, an ape, seeing his master shave himself, would take thc first opportunity to get hold of a razor and scrape or cut his own throat Now, how could that idea ever survive this age of zoological gardens? Marcus Aurelius held tnat tiie sum of all ethics was the rale to "love truth and justice, and live with? out anger, in the midst of lying and un? just men." Yet the occupation of a monkey-trainer would put that toler? ance to a severe test With an intelli? gence surpassing that of the most in? telligent dog, a monkey combines an nltra-mulish degree of obstinacy, and, rather than imitate the demonstrative manipulations of the kindest instructor, he will sham fear, sham lameness, sham heart-disease, and generally wind up by falling down in a sham fit of epilep? tic convulsions. I have owned monkeys of at least twenty different species, and have never been able to discover the slightest trace of that supposed pen? chant for mimicry. A boy may take off bis coat and turn a thousand somersets, Jacko will watch the phenomenon only with a view to getting his fingers into the pockets of the unguarded coat Lift np your hand a hundred times, Jacko will witness the proceeding with calm indifference, unless a more emphatic repetition of. the manouvre should make him duck his bead to dodge an anticipated blow. Ho has no desire to follow any human precedents whatever, and the apparent exceptions from that rule are, on his part wholly uninten? tional and merely a natural result of anatomical analogies. An angry ham? adryas baboon, for instance, will strike thc " ground with his fist not because any Christian visitors have ever set him that bad example, but because his fore? fathers have thus for ages vented their wrath on the rocks of the Nubian high? lands. A capuchin monkey will pick huckleberries with his fingers, not in deference to civilized customs, but be 1836111SWIFT'S I SJ fi? sj 3 j j A BEMEDY NOT PO SIS! - SCHALT A BEUEVItfG SUm S Sj SiSjS SjS AN INTERESTING TREATISE ON B FRE?
