GLEANINGS FROM Tin FOREIGN MIS
SIONARY FIELD.
SB--HEATHEN LOYALTY.
Psmists 191: B.—" Mine eyes shall be upon the faith
ful of tlfe land."
UPON' the island of Raiatea there exists in
a hill a deep cavity, the bottom of which has
never been reached. It is called Po, that is
" Night," and the people believe that it is
the dwelling place of the dead. A long time
ago, a king of Raiatea wished to examine
this strange cavity, and commanded his peo
ple to let him down by a cord. But when
they saw that they had him in their power,
they let go of the cord, and the king disap
peared forever. This is heathen faithful
ness.
89—WARFARE ON THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
EZEKIEL 85: 8—" Since thou hest not hated blood,
even blood shall pursue thee."
Among the South Sea Islanders unbroken
wars prevailed, and the wildest barbarity
was practised in them. The conquerors
washed in the blood of the conquered. Pri
soners were offered up to the gods : the flesh .
of the slain was greedily eaten by their ene
mies. The bones of celebrated warriors who
perished in battle, yet serve as the most dis
tinguished ornaments of the heathen conquer
ors. The entire population of islands, to the
last man, has been destroyed in these wars.
In 1823, a missionary visited the Hervey Is
lands. He found 'only about sixty men upon
them : after a short time he visited the island
again, but now there remained of that sixty,
only 5 men, 3 women, and some children.
Even these were quarreling as to which
should be king, and were on the point of
completely destroying themselves.
Dr. Diffenba,ch relates an incident in the
wars of New Zealand. The little island of
Tukua had been repeatedly attacked by the
tribes of the larger islands. It had but two
hundred inhabitants; but their fortress—all
villages aro fortresses—lay upon a steep
precipice of lava, and the enemy was invari
ably compelled to retreat without success.
At last a surprise by night was attempted.
Bat the inhabitants were on their guard. As
the enemy clambered up the sides of the
rock, they rolled down great stones among
them and crushed many of the assailants.
The next day a missionary visited the island,
and hearing of the' attack inquired for the
bloody tracks, which he supposed would have
been left from the slaughtered. " Our wives
have licked them up," was the answer.
40—CANNIBAlas 3i !
It is probable that the inhabitants of the
Feejee Islands, before their recent conversion
to Christianity, outdid all other people upon
earth in the practice of eating human flesh.
They were incessantly at war with each other,
to procure the means of gratifying this lust.
A few years ago, there was war between
Bau and Rowa. Bau literally stank for
many days with the fumes which arose from
the cooking of human flesh in every house and
from the entrails thrown out in the streets.
One of the chiefs of 'Rakeraki, had a chest
for the purpose of keeping human flesh.
Thighs and arms were salted down and
stored away for him in the chest. If he saw
among the prisoners any one particularly
fat, he ordered him to be killed on the spot,
cooked a part and salted down the rest. The
people said he ate human flesh every day. 'ln
Bau, the people in like manner, preserved
human flesh and ehewed it dry like tobacco.
At the time of which we are writing, a canoe
containing enemies was cast away upon their
coast. The inhabitants fell upon the ship-
-wrecked crew, bound them,_ and heated up
the oven. Some, who could not - wait, tore
off the ears of the prisoners, and devoured
them raw. When the ovens were hot, the
people carefully cut off their arms, holding a
dish under them to catch the drops of blood.
If a drop of blood fell on the ground it was
licked up with the greatest avidity. Thus
the poor creatures were cut to pieces, vainly
trying to defend their mangled bodies.
Scarcely was the missionary, Hunt, well
settled upon Samosamo, when the heathen
people dragged several corpses before his
house, cooked them and ate them. Shocked
at the spectacle, the missionary closed his
doors and windows. A chief, however, came
up, and insisted on his opening them. For,
if ho would live among them, he must allow
them to follow their customs as they pleased.
If he interfered, they would throw him too
into the oven,
41-TIIE TURKISH AGA
ACTS 10 34, 85—" Of a truth I perceive that God is
no respecter of persons, but in every nation, he
hat feareth him and worketh righteousness,is ac
cepted of him."
Thus, doubtless, many an ambassador in
Christ's stead, like Peter, has been compel
led to exclaim, when in a place, where he
expected to find nothing but the darkness
and shadow of death, an evident work of di
vine grace meets him, that preparing grace,
which makes the heart susceptible and will
ing to receive the seeds of divine truth,which
opens the inner ear to hear and, learn the
g'ad 'tidings of the Saviour of sinners. Such
a joyous surprise was experienced by the
missionary Winiger, in Egypt.
"We visited, at one time," he says, " a
great and splendid garden on the banks of
the Nile, to enjoy a little recreation. The
owner of the garden, a richly dressed Aga,
welcomed us in a very friendly manner, and.
asked if we were brothers, and all of the
same religion. Upon our answering in the
affirmative, he turned to me and said. : 'Why
do you wear a beard, and your brothers wear
none ? You are certainly a priest.' My an
swer that I wore ,it simply as a matter of
preference did not satisfy him, and he, repea
ted his assertion,: You are a priest; do
not keep me thus at a distance. I have
prayed Almighty God to make known to me
one who could tell me what I must do to be
happy, and this is the answer I received
from God: a man will come into my garden
and will tell me what to do. You are the
man, I am sure; so tell me without reserve.'
" I answered that as he was a Mahomme
dan, I dared not tell him what he must do to
be happy, he must ask his own spiritual
guides. Ile replied : 'I am firmly con
vinced that I and all the followers of Mo
hammed are upon the wrong road, There
must be some other means of gaining happi-
ness, and you must tell me what it is. lam
well aware, he continued, that both of us
are liable to death if it becomes known, but
fear not ; you are with a man of honor ; it
shall not go out from my mouth.' • With this
he was so affected, that I myself was deeply
moved. Well then,' said I, will tell you
what a Christian must do to be happy.' At
this, he took me under a fig tree, saying':
Hither ! thou man of God. Here where I
have so often prayed to God, you must tell'
me what I am to do.'
"Lifting a silent prayer to the Saviour, I
proceeded to narrate to this. ignorant man
the chief facts of the Bible history, to the
crucifixion and the death of our Lord.
"He listened attentively, and at the de
scription of Jesus's ascent before the eyes of
his apostles to heaven, and of his sitting at
the right hand of God, he raised his hands
on high and cried out: 0 Jesus, thou that
sittest at the right hand of God ! take pity
upon me, be my Saviour also`!
" He repeated these words several times
with many tears, and the Saviour graciously
vouchsafed: to bestow upon the pleading sin=
ner a sense of his peace and a believing view
of his atoning work. Several times with deep
feeling, he exclaimed : Yes, Lord Jesus,
I see thee with thy wounds Thou art
now my Saviour, too ! The next morn
ing, before daybreak, this null& Aga,
with a numerous retinue, stood before our
door, an appearance which frightened us not
a little. I ran to meet him and, said: 'What
do you mean by bringing so many with
you ?' He replied These are my ma
melukes. They are entirely ignorant in the
matter, and they have orders to wait in the
lane till I return. I could wait no longer to
see you and your brothers; I have not slept
the whole night for joy.'
"We held a delightful conversation with'
him, and together gave thanks to the Saviour
for what he had done in his case. As long as
we remained in Egypt, he continued faith
ful."
TREATMENT OF YOUR WIFE.
Do NOT jest with your wife npon a subject
in which there is danger of wounding her
feelings. Remember that she treasures every
word you utter, though you never think of it
again. Do not speak of some virtue in an
other man's wife, to remind your own of a
fault. • Do not reproach your wife with per
sonal defects, for if sbe has sensibility, you
inflict a wound difficult to heal. Do not
treat your wife with inattention in company.
Do not upbraid her in the presence of a third
person, nor entertain her with praising the
beauty and accomplishments of other women.
If you would have a pleasant home and cheer
ful wife, pass your evenings under your own
roof. Do not be stern and silent in your
own house, and remarkable for sociability
elsewhere. Remember that your wife has as
much need of recreation as yourself, and de
vote a portion, at least, of your leisure
hours, to such society and amusements as
she may join. By so doing, you will secure
her smiles And increase her affection. Do
not, by, being too exact in pecuniary matters,
make your wife feel her dependence on your
bounty. It tends to lessen her dignity ,of
character, and does not increase her esteem
for you. If she is a sensible woman, she,
should he acquainted with your business and
know your income, that she may regulate 'her
household expenses accordingly. Do not
withhold this knowledge, in order , to cover
your own extravagance. Women have a
keen perception ; be sure she will discover
your selfishness, and th6ugh no word is spo
ken, from that taornent her respect is lessen
ed, and her confidence diminished, her pride
wounded, and a thousand, perhaps unjust
suspicions created. From that moment is
your domestic comfort on the wane. There
can be no oneness where there is no full con
fidence.—Woman's Thoughts About Women.

THE COCA LEAF OF BRAZIL.
TEA, coffee, tobacco, spices, sink into in
significance beside this invaluable leaf,which
is the first necessity of life to the Indian,who
is never seen without his leathern pouch con
taining the leaves and a small box of pow
dered lime. At least three times a day he
rests from labor to chew his ambrosia.' Care
fully removing the midribs of the leaires, he
masticates them into a small ball, called an
acullico. Then, repeatedly inserting a thin
piece of moistened mood, like a tooth-pick,
into the box of unsiaked lime, he introduces
the powder which remains attached to it into
the acullico, until the latter had acquired
the requisite flavor: This lime mitigates the
bitterness of the leaf, the flavor of which is
like that of bad green tea.
The marvellous properties of the coca are,
first, its power of strengthening the diges
tion in a way no other tonic can approach;
and next, its power of preventing asthmatic
effects in the rapid ascent of high mountains;
and, above all, its efficacy as &substitute for
food. In this latter quality we have the
surprising testimony of Tshudi, the traveller,
in addition to that of many others. He men
tions that an Indian, sixty-two years of age,
was employed by him during five consecutive
days and nights in laborious excavations.
During the whole period he never ate any
thing, but every three hours chewed halfn.
,a
ounce of coca, and kept the aeu,ilico con
stantly in his mouth. Nor did he require
more than two hours' sleep during the night.
When the labor was finished, he accompan
ied Tschudi during a ride of 'twenty-three
leagues over the mountain plains, `cOnStantly
running alongside of the- nimble - tulle, and

never resting but for the purpose of making
an acullico. When, they separated, he de
clared himself perfectly willing to do a sim
ilar amount of work if he had a plentiful
alloiivance of coca. In the Cornhill Maga
zine we were told of a scientific investigation
of this marvellous plant, which fully bore out
the statements of travellers ; and, if used
only as a tonic, there is no drug now impor
ted which would be so valuable to a dyspep
tic people like that of Europe.---Saturday

NATIONAL VIRTUE REVEALED BY THE
WAR.
FROM DR. BRAINERD'S " FART DAT SERMON. "
We are also to .confess the sins of our peo
'le, as did Daniel:" This admission of our
ational sinfulness, as the just cause of our
national judgments, does not compel us to
believe that we Ecre more guilty than other
nations, nor that we have backSlidden from
the virtues of uur fathers, Each age has its
own virtues and , crimes; and every age has
crimes to deserve God's judgments. " Say
not that the former times were better than
these, for thou dost not judge wisely con
cerning this thing."
;My impression is, that in Sabbath :keep
ing, and' attention to the means cif grace, in
efforts to diffuse universal . eduaation and the
irculation of religious truth,.
,by Bibles,
tracts, churches, preaching and Sabbath-
School teaching ; in efforts to establish insti
tutions for the aged, the imbecile, and the
unfortunate ; in endeavors to help the sailor,
the prisoner, the widow and the orphan, our
own age and land have developed a piety
and eharity not common the world.
Indeed, I cannot avoid suspebting that
war is on our hands not because this age and
people are worse than other times . and men,
but because we have risen to a higher prin
.
eagle, a holier aim, and, more adhesive re
gard to justice and humanity. We held the
price of peace in our hands.
Our Southern brethren had a right to man
age their own affairs in their own way, with
in the limits of the Constitution; to take
their own time and mode to regulate their
relations to the colored race, leaving the.
Press of the land free. This right was
awarded to them, not alone by the Constitu
tion, but by the solemn declaration of the.
President and a resolution of Congress.' It
was endorsed by the sentiments of ninety
nine hundredths of the North, who, claiming
liberty to speak and write their honest opin
ions of slavery, as did Washington, Jeffer
son and Yranklin, weuld still, ttave abhorred
any and every attempt to enforce by Vio
lence their views upon the South. The whole
North, almost before a blow was struck,pro
tested its respect 'for every Southern right.
But all would not avail ; something more
was wanting.
If we could have consented to stultify the
conscientious suffrages of the great majority,
as "to planting slavery, witl4 its fetters and
manacles, on the free soil of our territories;
if we could cheerfully have agreed to stand
as sentinels through all time, to drive the es
caping slave back to his bondage ; if we could
conscientiously have commended a system
which shuts out four millions of our fellow
men, in our own land, from reading God's
word, from lawful marriage, from family in
tegrity and purity, and from the right to
fair wages for their toil; if we could have
cherished at the capital the shambles where
men and women are bought and sold, and
could have heard the slave-dealer's lash on
bleeding flesh without pity ; if we could have
disgraced labor by contempt, .and .flattered
the pride of those who grow rich on the un
cempensated industry of other men ; if we
could meekly have allowed the slave lords
of the South, accustomed to rule over men
ials, whom they had by force , degraded to
their feet, to rule through all time over us,
there would have been no war.
If we could have allowed our fellow citi
zens at the South to be tarred and feathered,
because they were true to their country ; if
we could have permitted our mints, arsenals,
forts and vessels to be seized, our Generals
to 'be bribed to treason, and our soldiers on
the frontiers surrendered as prisoners to
those whom they hacl gone to protect ; if we
could have allowed our country's flag to be
trampled in the dust by traitors, and our
garrisons to be hailed out of our own burn;
ing forts by bursting shells; had we borne
this submissively, there would have been no
But would peace in these circumstances
have marked our virtue or our corruption ?
our glory or -our infamy.?- Our war is the
proper protest of justice and humanity,
against injustice; Cruelty and, perfidy: It'is
the struggle of right--and philanthrophy,
against outrage, oppression, and bloody trea
son. -
We havureceived from ages gone, by the
fruits of man's long struggles for civil and
religious liberty, and the right of self-go
vernment ; we have received a broad, beau
tiful and healthful country, to every-foot, of
whose soil we., have an ,equal claim, as _041 7 ,
zees-; we have received a civil , constitution,
which embraces the concentrated w'isdorn of
the sages of the _Revolution; and we have
taken up arms to declare, that no traitor hand
shall cut the telegraphic wire on which these
blessings are passing dovin to other genera
tions. The cry of humanity, from - ages to
come, has called us to this bloody strife. It
is simply a' defence of our own institutions.
In such a'contest we are not to interpret
any defeats into an impeachment of our na
tional virtue, or our cause; but rather regard
them as a moral, discipline through which_
God purifies us from remaining corruptions,
to make us "perfect" for our high national
mission, through sufferings."
_ The war his certainly unveiled an appal
ling amount of individual selfishness, covet
ousness, fraud, cowardice and -perfidy. -But
it has_also shown in our people a pure, unsel
fish patriotism,- - developed in the pecuniary
sacrifices of th rich and poor ; in the devo
tion of their lives, by hundreds, of thousands
of our young .men.; in the rich, unfailing
charities, especially of our ladies, for the
suffering soldiers ; in the patient suffering of
our martyrs in the hospital or on the battle
field. War has ennobled as well as tried us;
and I- must - thank God to-day for the grace
he has given you, as well-as exhort you to
be penitent for your sins.
While I say this, I still, believe that our
sufferings are, made necessary by our sins,
and that the nearer we a•pproach.to holiness,
the fewer will be our disasters and the more
certain our triumphs. ,

the lung!, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy,
Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or indeed, the whole series
of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood.
Minute reports of individual cases may be found
in AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is tarnished
`f to the druggiits for gratuitous distribution, wherein
- may be learned the directions for, its use, and some
of the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those
cases are purposely taken from all sections of the
country, in order that every reader may have ac
cess to some one who can speak to him of its- bene
fits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses
the vital energids; and thus leaves its victims far
more subject to disease and its fetid results than
arc healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten,
and does greatly shorten, the average duration of
human life.isThe vast importance of these con
siderations- has led us to spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we
now offer to the 'public under the name of AYER'S
SARSAPARILLA, although it is composed of ingre
dients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsa
parilla. in alterative power. By its aid you may
protect yourself from the suffering and danger of
these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions
that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the
causes of disease and vigorous health will follow.
By its peculiar vi rtues this remedy stimulates 'the
vital functions, and thus expels the disteMpers
whichiurk within the'system or burst out on 'any
part of it.
We know' the public have been 'deceived by
many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have
been proven by abundant trial, and there remains
no question of its surpassing excellence for the
cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to
reach. Although under the same name, it is a
very different medicine from any other which has
been before the people, and is far more effectual
than any other which has ever been available to
,them.
CHERRY PECTORAL,

Colds, Incipient Consumption, and
for the relief of Consumptive
patients in 'advanced sta

This has been so low , used and so universally
known, thatwe . need do no more than assure the
quality public;that its kept up to the best it ever
has been, and that it may be relied on to' do all it
bas ever done.
