Brightly, sweet Bummer 1 brightly Thine hours have floated by, To the joyous birds of the woodland boughs, The rangers of the sky. And brightly in the foreFts.

Dr. J. L. Jtrupt, being travels aud missionary labors in Eastern Africa, during a residence ofeigh teen years we make the following extracts : Christian people upon curtb ore so rigid in their tasting as the Abussiniuus. I hey lust, in all, nine tnonius out oi tue twelve every Friday aud Wednesday through out the yeur, then again forly days before Easier, tweaty-tive days after i nutty, four- teen days in August, tweuty-tive days belore Advent, and ou tuber ccvumous. Yet, iu spile of this, aud of a close conformity to the outward observances of a severe ritual, tbe woeful departure from the pure teaching of the Gospel, and a complete absence of culture and koowledge have produced, geoerully aud individually, a sad social condition in Abetai- nia. Montgomery, 11 is iruu, is t iiuuiisuea oy the church, but coucubiuuge is hubituul aud eeneral. the kinc and bis live hundred wives leading tbe way with a bud example; for whenever a beoulilul womuo was noiuiea out to him he sent for her. The duughters of many erandees must in this way serve to tiled political alliances, aud Sahela Selas6ie actually wished lur-au r.nglim princes to consolidate bis alliance with great lirituin." Tbo Dokos have do cbiul, do lows, do weapons : they do not nunt, oor tin me grouud, but live solely on fruits, roots, mice, serpeuts, auts, bouey, and the like, climbing trees aud gathering tue iruns life moubeys, acd both sexes go completely nuked. 1 bey bave Ibick, protruding lips, flat noses and small eyes; tbe bair is not woolly, and is woru by the women over thu shoulders. Tbe oatls on tbe bauds und feet are alluwod to grow like the talons of vultures, and are used iu digging for uuts, oud in tearing to pieces the sei punts which tbey devour ran, for tbey are ouucquainled with tire. Tbe spine of tbe snake U ibe only ornament woru round the neck, but .tbey pierce the ears wilb a sbarp-poiuted piece of wood." ' I he way to wasaowa lay lurouga every description of country ; fruitful valleys aua plains, mountain heights, past desert wilder oesses ; sometimes amid dense populations, sometimes where do human soul was to be found ; and for the most purt, we bad to beg for food and shelter. Occasionally a Moham medan would receive us hospitably, oceanic ully a Chribtiun ; in tbe latter case thu motive frequently was to receive an amulet against illness, or some magical cure from tbe white man ; for it is a common belief in Abessiuia. that all white men come from Jerusalem, where tbey tbiuk tbere i do sick ness, and all is plenty and splendor." "1'be people of KulTa are partly Christian, though after a very superficial aDd degener ate fashion, and they practice circumcioion, do not work oo Fridays end Sundays, and observe the festivals or saints. Incredible and fabulous appears the statement wbicb Dilbo made to me respecting tbe relutioo be tween husbaud and wife, wbicb was to the effect that tbere is a public resort set apart for tbe husband, where do woman is permu ted to appear, and where do wire must eat or drink with her husband, under nenallv of I tDree years' iuiprisoomeot. Husband aod wifa iee eacn oVhr only at night, never meeting- during: tbe day. Tbe wife remains in tbe inmost portion of tbe bouse, tbe hus band occupying? the otner part, bucn a sepa ration of tbe sexes is nokoown in Abessiuia, and would presuppose that the inhabitants of Hana are MoUammedans, wnn wnom tbe isolation of their women is tba rale." "On the second da; after my arrival to Zanzibar I was presented by the English Consul to tbe Sultan Said-Said, commonly called by Europeans by bis other title, tbe lmautn of Muscat. His palaee lies oatside the city, snd Its exterior reminds tbe visiter of n German or Swiss manufactory. Wben the consul appeared with me at tbe entrance of tbe palaee, tbe sultan, accompanied by one of Lis sons tod several grandees, earn forth to meet us. displayinr a cocdescemnon and courtesy which I bad pot before met with at IH nann oi but uriuuiai ruior. us vuu t. i us iuto tbe sudieDce.cbamber wbicb is pretty large and paved with Inarble slabs j American chuirs lined the walls, and a stately chandelier hung in the middle of tbe room. The sultao bade us to be seated, and I described to him in Arabic his native language my Xbessian adventures, nod plans for converting the (Julian, lie listened with attoDtioo, end promisod every assistance, at the same time pointing out the dangers to which 1 might be exposed. Although ad vanced in years, be looked very well, and was most friendly and communicative," "lo general the Gallas bave a manly ap pearance ; are large aod powerfully built, but with savage features, made still more savage looking and fierce by their long bair, woro like a mane over the shoulders. They ate principally of a dark brown color, by which, no less than by intellectual capacity and teacbableuess, tbey are so advantageously distinguished from all other Kust-Africanp. Tbe young women are much sought after, and iu A rabia (etch from one hundred to one hundred and Gfty dollars each. Their bodies and long upper garment in form like the llomaii toga, ore besmeared with a thick crust of butter, giving an unpleasant odor, which Blrengers scent from afar. Tbe women wear a short gown of leather, fastened round their loins by a girdle, on tbe skirt of which a number of pieces of coral are hung by tbe wny of ornament. Tbe more wealthy wear also a large upper garment over this gown, which gives them the appearance of European women. Tbe weapons of the Gallas ore a spear, sword and shield, and they all ride oo horseback ; even tbe women gallop beside or behind their husbands ; for among them it is coosidsred degrading to go oo foot." The Zouavea of tho Revolution. At this time it may be interesting to know that there were Zouaves in tbe. War of Inde pendence. The extract of a letter, writteu by a young soldier in tbe Connecticut army, to bis paronts, which follows, states the fact : "Dkar Paiikxts : Our company arrived here last night very lute, hungry and tired. Training is a good deal harder than old Squire Fell tells of. If he'd marched four teen miles a day for tbiee duys, and carried bis prog, besides father's old French war fusee, 1 calculate he'd not been so encoura ging to us boys. I don't find fault, miud ; I ouly wish to let you know that we are not on May party. "At Milford tavern we were joined by two companies of soldiers from New Haven, and u company of 'queer fellows,' as Jake calls them, from tbe Southern coloniea. Tbey are all riflemen, and are commanded by Colonel Cresap. Tlmy dou't use any beds, as we do, but sloop right on the ground, all in a row, like Indians do. Hut their antics in military exercises are of tbe curiousest kind. Tbey load aud fire their rifles lying flat on their bellies. After that tbey tangle themselves all up in a knot, and look just liko a porcu pine, with their guns slicking out all over them. Hat the wonderniost part of their actions is their hitting a mark. Ary of them can bit a small potato at forty rods distance. You uever saw anything like it. When we get lo camp 1 will write more about these nth-men, who would amose the gitls if they could see them cut their antics." Tbe cumpuny described in Ibis letter is also alluded to in Moore's Diary of tbe Uevo lution as follows : "August 'th, 1775. On Friday evening last arrived at Lancaster, Peon., on their way to tbo American camp, Captain Ores op's company of riflemen, consisting oT 130 active, brave young fellows, many of whom hove been in the lute expedition under Lord DuDmore, against tbe Indians. Tbey bear in tbeir bodies visible marks of their prowess, and show scars and wounds that would do booor to Homer's Iliad. Tbey sbow you, to use tbe poel's words, Vhere the gor'd bailie bled at every vein !' "One of the warriors in particular shows the cicatrice of four bullet holes through bis body. These men have beeu bred in tbe woods to. hardships and dangers from tbeir infancy. Tbey appear as if they were entirely uuacquainted wilb, and bad never felt the passion bf fear. With tbeir rifles in tbeir hand ihey esse me a kind of omnipotence over their enemies. One cannot much wonder at this wbeo we mention a fact which can he fully attested by soverul of the reputable persons wbo were eye witnesses of it. Two brothers io the company took a piece of board Gve inches broad aud seven inches loug, with a bit of white paper, about tbe size of a dol lar, nailed in tbe centre, and wbile one of them supported this board perpendicularly betweeu his knees, tbe other at a distance of upwards of CO yards, and without any kind of rest, shot eight bullets through it successive ly, and spared a brother's thigh. 'Another of the company held a barrel stave perpendicularly in his bands with one edge vlose to bis side, wbile one of bis com rades, at the same distance aud iu the same muuner before mentioned, shot several bullets through it without any apprebeusion of dan ger on either side. The spectators, appearing to be amuzed at these Teats, were told thai there were upward of Gfty persous in tbe same company wbo could do the same thing ; that there wus not one wbo could not plug 19 bullets out of 20, as they termed it, within an inch of tbe bead of a tenpenny nail, lo short, to evince tbe confidence tbey possessed in their dexterity witb these kind of arms, some of them proposed to stand witb apples on tbeir beads, wnilo others, at the same uis taoce, undertook to shoot tbem of!; but the people who saw tbe other experiments, de clined to be witnesses of this. "At Digbt a great fire was kindled around pole planted io the court bouje square, where tbe company, with tbeir captain at their bead, all nuked to tbe waist and puicted like sava ges, except tbe captain, wbo was in an Indian shirt, indulged vast concourse of people wilb a perfect exhibition of a war dance, aod all the mana'uvres of Indians, holding council, going to war, circumventing tbeir enemies by denies, ambuscades, auacaiog, scalping, and so forth. It is said by those wbo ore i'i Ices that do represeutation could possibly come uearer the original. J he captain t expert ness and agility, in particular, in these expe riments, astonished every beholder. This morning tbey will set out oo their march for Cambridge." Garihai.di' Wirt. A letter from Mar seilles, or tbe 2"th nit., say t Tbe wire of Gee. Garibaldi bas been In tbl city for tbe last two days. She appears to bave given op tbe Idea of embarking in the Peusilippe steam packet, wbicb leaves this venicg lor Civita Vecchla and Naples, and will probably wait for some Garibaldian ves sel, which frequently arrive bere. Tbe depar ture of the wife of tbe Dictator leads to tbe supposition that a reconciliation bat been brought about between tbem. It may be re. tnembered tbtt Garibaldi, after having receiv ed an anonymous letter wbicb led to a stormy explanation, separated from bis wife, one of tbe daughters of the neb Marquis Uajuioudi, on tbe very evening of tueir marriage. A Woman at Fiko's Peak. The Guluua (III.) Courivr contaiusa letter from k lady at the gold district, which is certainly not very flattering. Hear what she says : It will be three months, the Sth of August, since I bave been in a bouse or But in a chuir. I am now silling on the ground with a board for a table, aud that ou my lop. If I had known what a journey it was to come here, 1 would never have seen the Hocky Mountains. It is too bard for any woman to come hete. Over one hundred women started buck to tbe States lust week. My advice to all wuineu fl that Ihey bad better go to tho poor bouse than come out here. 1 bave not spoken to a woman since I came to the monntuins. 1 have had to sleep in my wagon ever since 1 lelt St. Joseph, I do not know what dry clothing is. 1 sleep iu a wet bed, aud wear damp clothing all tbe tune. Most of our company were sick on the way out; I here ore a great many dowu with tho mountain fever, which is very dungerous. F.verybody is goiug home. There is hardly any money in the country. As for gold, 1 have seeu some, but it is not plentiful yet. Next yeur will be better titan this for making, money here. There are sixteen mills in this gulch, aud as soou as they get to work, times will be a little better. 1 have nut been two yards from my tent since 1 came bere. It is an awful bard life here, and 1 have got enongb of 1 ike's l'eak. A man or woman, to live bere, has lo work like "fits," and then, if tbey do not get sick aod die, tbey are well off. A correspondent of tbe New York Tribune, writing from Tike's Teak, says : A former bunker from Leavenworth is now ic the mines, engaged in selling pies. He was a deacoo in one of the churches iu Eastern Ransus j here he retails whisky on Sunday. Last year, ou the Uepublicun route, 1 eu countered an ex-Cincinnati lawyer, aud an actress from the New York Howery Theatre, united io bunds matrimonial, and engaged keepiug a slage-stuliou on tbe Great i'luius, 4UU miles from civilization. Pkath from tiik Hitk or a IUttlksnakr. The Lebanon (Ky.) Democrat says that Mr. Uriah Gurtoo, of Marion county, has for a few months past bad some ratllesuukes, which he bad caught iu tbe bills, and occa sionally exhibited them, lie kept tbem iu a box, but would take them out aud throw them about the floor, suspend I be in by tbe tail, aud at last bold tbum by tbe neck and suQ'urtbem to coil their bodies around his neck. On the lUlb, while thus exhibiting them, in Lebanon, in changing one of the snukes from one band lo the other, he was bitten on the left band, between the thumb end fore-Guger. He iin-' mediately got himself insensibly drunk with whiskey, thinking thereby to avert the futuli ty of the bite. It was of no avail ; his hand and arm almost immediately commenced to swell, and continued until tbe morning of the lltb, when be died. How 11k Savkd h ih Lhk The drummer boy of tbe Milwaukee Light Guard was on board tbe ill-fated steamer Lady Elgin, and was saved oy toe means or his drum, lie bad presence of miud sufficient to whittle a plug ana close tne air vent, then lushing the drum to his shoulders, be trusted himself to the waves. The drum supported him, and also four others, wbo seized hold of it ; but these, one after another, dropped oil". The drum carried the boy nearly ashore, wben, by some uieans, me oeaa was burst iu, aod it DIM with water. Tbe boy abandoned it, and seiz ing a fragment of the wreck, succeeded in reaching tbe shore. The drum afterwards came osboro, and was returned to tbe boy whose life ir. bad saved. Rksii.t ov nig Svbian"Massa:rk.

Tbe total bwmber of persons killed in cold blood by Druses and Moslems since the disturbances Grst com menced at the end of May, including tbe va rious towns on the Lebanon, 'Sidom, Damas cus and elsewhere, amounts to tbe fearful number of 12,000, besides those wbo fell en gaged in opeu tight, when os yet tho war was a mere sectarian outbreak. The amount sf property plundered, burnt, destroyed aud oth erwise swept away 'during the suuie period not counting the consequent losses to trade, but simply the actual loss of money, jewels, houses, furniture, horses, cattle, silk cocoons, silk factories, mulberry and ollive trees, vines, oil, wine, gruin, floor, and (a very considera ble item) church plute, has been very careful ly calculated, and has been found to represent no smaller sum tnan between fourteen and Gfteeu millions sterling. The number of villa ges destroyed omouuts to 1C3. Tbe churches burnt are more than 220. Of convents, largo and small, seven have been destroyed, and nearly 200 priests Lave been butchered iu various parts. Tub Pkrry Statuk. This statue, which was inaugurated at Clevelund, Ohio, on Mon day tbe 10th ult., is eight feet in height, and stauds upon a pedestal of Hhode Island grau ite seventeen feet in height, so that tbe en tire height of the monument is twenty-five feet. It stands io the centre of tbo park, and commands a view of tfee lake that was tbe scene of Perry's exploits. Tbo statue is cut from a block of pure white marble from a Ver mont quarry. Tbe propriety of placing it upon Khodo island granite is apparent wbeti the fact is Doted that Perry was a native of that State, aud that bis follow officers were chief ly llbode Islanders. On the front of the ped estal is a medallion representing in bas relief in minature the battle at t hat point of time when Perry passed iu a small boat from bis disabled ship, tbe Lawrence, and transferred bis nae "Dou t give up the ship" to His peak of the N iagara. 1 be monument bas been erect ed at a cost of 10,000.

And bade him keep tho gift, that when Tbe parting bour should come, Tbey might have hope to meet again In ber eternal home : She said bis faith in Ibat should be Sweet incense to her memory. And should tbe scoffer in bis pride Laugh that fond gift to scorn, And bid bim cast that gift aside, That ho from youth bad borne, She bade bim pause, and ask bis breast If be or she bad loved bim best.

Let the new cider from soar apples, (sound and selected fruit is to be preferred,) ferment from one week to three weeks, as the weather is warm or cool. When it bus attained to lively fermentation, add to eucb gallon ooe quarter of an ounce of sulphato of lime. Slir the powder aod cider until intimately mixed, and return tbe emulsion to the fermenting liquid. Agitate brisKiy and thoroughly tor a lew moments, and then let tbe cider settle. The fermenta tion will commence at once. Wben, after a few days, tbe cider has become clear, draw ofTand bottle carefully, or remove tbe sedi ment ond roturn to tbe original vessel. If loosely corked, or kept in a barrel on draught, it will retain its taste as a still cider. If preserved iu bottles, carefully corked, which is better, it will become n' sparkling cider, and may be kept indefinitely long.

Trees that were well jarred, and the curculios killed iu spring, ore loadod witb fruit. Many of those that bave received littlo attention, bear a good crop. Tbe rot, however, is thinning tho fruit oiT rapidly, attacking it just as it begius to ripen. If one plum is affected, it communicates tbe disease to those next it, apparently by a sort of innculutiou, and it will, of course, be benuliciul to remove all diseased fruit as soon as it begins to discolor. Light colored or green plums are most liable to attuck, ond tbey soon become purple, with a light bloom. This, however, is not the healthy bloom of tbe normally dark colored fruit, but a fungus. We know of do cure for this disease. (Mt'o Farmer. Shkki' for Mutton. Col. J. W. Ware, of Va. writes to the Genesee Farmer; "Of all sheep 1 prefer the Cotswold, from experi ence.
