If we knew the cares and crosses Crowding round our neighbor's w ay If wo knew the little losses, Sorely grievous, day by day, " Would we then so often chide him For his lack of thrift and gain, Leaving on his heart a shadow— Leaving on ouikivea a skin? If we know the clouds above us Held but gentle 'blessing there, Would we turn away all trembling, Iq onr blind and weak despair? Would we shrink from little shadows Flitting o'er the dewy grass, If we knew that birds of Eden Wore In mercy Eying past? If we knew the silent story, Quivering through the heart of pain, Would we drive it with our coldness Back to haunts of guilt again? Life has many a tangled crossing, Toy bath many a break of woe; But the cheeks tear-washed are whites, And kept in life are dowers by snow. Lot us reach into our bosoms For the key to other lives, • And with love toward erring nature, Cherish good that still survives; So that when our disrobed aftirits Soar to realms of light above,- We may say, "Dear Father, love us, E'en as WO have shown our love." [For the Star and Sentinel. On but tew subjects of practical morality do heads of families need to cultivate and exercise sounder discretion than in respond ing to the calls for charity whicitare made by strangers who appear at their doors soliciting alms. The really needy and de serving should by no means be turned away empty; but our homes and places of busi ness are so frequently beset by mendicants, many of whom are in fact impostors, that families, .if they yield to the dictates of their generous natures, are oftentimes in danger of doing more harm than good. Misapplied charity is an injury both to the donoF and to the recipient. It takes from the first what might be more usefully expended, and operates upon the latter as a bounty to idle ness and vice. It is quite impossible, at first - sight, to dis tinguish between the really meritorious and the unworthy. But as a genera: rule it is safe policy to offer the bestowal of aid in the shape of a reward for service. Ascer tain if the applicant is able to work, and re fer him to some phut°, if you have it not yourself, where he can obtain either temp orary or permanent employment. If he seems reluctant at such a proposition, it Is a fair suspicion that he is no better than he :bout(l,be. If ho is cheerfully willing to p:rform a conveniciat SPrvico in your be half, the presumption is that he is honest in his want:, and you may help him in that or some other way at but little risk. Employment is oCten the best form of charity. Is saves applicants for the time being from idleness, and the vices which generally follow in its train, and conduces to the health both of their bodies and their minds. We service, LOp, anicenita so some thing like a reward for the benefits bestow ed ; so that both parties are made better by the arrangement. S. I In this country where honest tabor sel dom fails of encouragement, it is suspicious when strangers apply for street charity.— We would not be severe ; we would rather err on the side of mercy than of cruelty : still, so liable are pimple to be imposed up on, that in general the besallsay to prevent mend icily is to refuse gifts till the applicants have a chance to earn them by their services. There is no readier test of merit than this. We have been informed by a gentleman, while in London, some years since, of an excellent system for the prevention of street begging,• which commended itself to our admiration. In various parts of the city, he said, were offices like little Banks, which issue fractional script, representing value in shillings, pence and farthings, that are redeemable fir the purposes of their is sue. If one would be protected against de ception, let him just step into one of these offices and procure any amount of the script which he may wish to use. If after this, a beggar accosts him for alms, let him bestow some of this script. This, if he is honest, be will take to the mike for redemp tion. There arrived, his case is duly in- - vestigated, and if found worthy, the script is redeemed in money, or he is set at work to earn it. If an impostor, either he will not dare to present the script, or if he does, he will most likely be taken into custody as a knave by an officer and punished for his fraud. It would be well, we think, if some such system were adopted by all our Ifirge cities on this side of the water—such - as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Bos ton, &c. J. S, G.- "Lo! I Am wml YOU ALWAY. " —A moth er, one morning, gave to her two little ones books and toys to amuse them while she went to sttend to some work in an upper room, A half hour passed quietly, and then a timid voice at the foot of the stairs called out, -"Mamma, are you there ?" "Yes, darling." "All right, then ;" and 'Ate child went back to its play. By-and•by the question was repeated: "Mamma, are you there ?" "Yes." "All right, then ;" and the little ones, reassured of their mother's presence, again returned to their toys. Thus we, God's little dies, in doubt an 4 loneliness look up and ask, "3ly Father, art Thou there ?" and when there comes In answer the assurance of Eils presence, our hearts are quieted. Wirsas's Hoag.—We have rarely seen a simple child story that more touched us than the following which we find in an ex change: "This is my home I" cried the little one, a treasured boy of four. summers, as Ire* and as rosy he - came from school at . the close of a short winter's afternoon. "indeed, little Willie," said his Mier, "how is it? Suppose you go out on the sidewalk, and try at the next door; suppose you step Into the entry, throw off your Utile sack as you have here, and go to the parlor, would not that be your home r' "No indeed," said Willie, "it would not "But tell me why not ?" Willie had never thought of this. Be paused a moment, their directing his eyes to where his mother quietly sat sewing, Ite replied with an earnest gesture, "BM Vies here."

Is it mitsololo l / 2 fm A 4. neater OVetrao7t air, a its listo•a• LITERAL ARSWItAS. • A writer -in the September number of the Galaxy *lakes an amusing paper en titled "A Literal Turn of Mind," which supplies us with the following : "My son," said an anxious father once, "what makes you use that nasty tobacco ?" NoW the son was a very literal sort of a per son, and, declining to consider , the question in the spirit in which it was caked, replied, "To get the juice, old codger?' A lady was once conversing with a sailor who had suffered shipwreck ; and, as she took great pleasure In the analyttation of feelings and emotions, asked him compas sionately, "How did you feel, my dear man, when the cold waves broke over you?" ut the seaman knew nothing of metaphy sics, and answered simply, "Wet, ma'am; very wet." - A small child being asked by a Sunday. school teacher, "'What did the Israelites do after they had crossed- the Red Sea ?" "I don't know, - ma'am, Put I guess they dried themselves." Queer answers are very often received by grown people who talk to children, for the reason that the latter have not yet become accustomed to the subtleties and figurative meanings and round-about way of words, and therefore look at things very practically "Sam," said a young mother to her darl ing boy, "do you know what the difference is between the body and the soul ? The soul, my child, is what you love with; the body carries you about. This is your body, (touching the boy's shoulder and arms,) but there_ is something deeperin. You can ice' It now. What is it ?" "Oh, I know," 'mid he, with aFluSii of intelligence in his eyes, "that is my flannel shirt." oyl in dulgent father urged an indolent s;an to rise. "Remember," said he, "that the early bird catches the worm." "What do I care tor worms ?" growled the youth ; "mother won't let me go fishin'." "A passive verb," said a teacher, "Is ox_ presslve of the nature of receiving an ac tion, as 'Peter is beaten.' Now what did Peter do ?" "Well,l don't know," said the scholar, deliberating, "unless he hollered." A youth who was being reprimanded for playing marbles on Sunday, • was asked, "Do you know where those little boys go wh . o play marbles on Sunday ?" Hp had not been sufficiently taught in regard to a future state, and replied, quite innocently, "Oh, yes, some on 'em go to the common, and some on 'em goes down to the river." An unexpected bit of information Is some times elicited by this literal understanding of questions, as when a Sabbath school teacher was attempting to teach a very small boy the meaning of wages in the pas sage, "The 'wages of sin is death," and asked him, "What does your father get on Saturday night?" "Drunk, ma'am," an swered the boy, without hesitation. do a lecturer, in Portland, - Maine, or somewhere else, was explaining to a little girl how a lobster cast his shell when he outuown it. Said he, "What do you do when you have outgrown your clothes? you cast them aside, do you not ?" "Oh, no," replied the little one, "we let out the tucks," Again, a teacher was explaining to a lit tle girl the meaning of the word cuticle.— "What is that all over my face and hands?" said he. "it's freckles, sir, - answarad tit& little cherub 4,.n answer of similar character is often the result of a hard word. "William," said a mother to her son, who had already eaten a very considerable amount of dinner, "I don't know whether you can eat this pud ding with impunity," "Well, may be not," said William ; "I think I would rather have a spoon," A lady noticed a boy sprinkling salt on the sidewalk to take off the ice, and re marked to a friend, pointing to the salt, "::ow that is true benevolence." "No it ain't," said the boy, somewhat indignantly, "it's salt.- So when a lady asked her servant girl if the hired man had cleared the snow from the steps with alacrity, she replied, "No, ma'am, he used a shovel." This same literal turn of mind which 1 have been Illustrating is sometimes used intentionally and perhaps a little malicious ly and thus becomes the property of wits instead of blunderers. Thus we hear of a very polite and impressive gentleman who said to a youth in the street, "Boy, may I inquire where Robinson's drug store is ?" "Certainly, sir," said the boy, very re spectfully. "Well, sir," said the gentleman, after waiting awhile, "where is it ?" "I have not the least Idea, your honor," said the urchin. There was another boy who was accosted by an ascetic middle aged lady with, "bOy, I want to go to Dover street." "Well, ma'am," said the boy,, "why don't you go there ?" Ohe day on Lake George a party of gentlemen strolling among the beautiful islands of the lake with rather bad luck, espied a little fellow with a red shirt and old straw-hat dangling . a line over the side of a boat. "Hello, boy !" said one of them," what are you doing?" "Fishin','" came the answer. "Well, of course," said e gentleman, "but what do you catch r Here the boy became indignant at so much questioning and replied, "Ask you fool, what do you 'spose "Did any of you ever see au elephant's skin ?" inquired a teacher of an infant las& "I have," shaw -1 ed a six-year old from the foot of the class. "Where?" asked the teacher. "On the elephant," said'the boy laughing. kr Sometimes this sort of wit degenerates or rises; as the case may be, into punning, as when Flora pointed pensively to the heavy masses of clouds In the sky,' saying, "I wonder where those clouds aregoing ;" and her brother replied, "I think they are going to thunder." Also as in the following dia logue; "Hello, there l how .do you sell wood?." . "By the cord." "How long has it been cut l" 'Tour feet," "I mean how long has it been since you cut it P"— "No longer-than it is now." And also when Patrick O'Flynn was seen with his whir and bosom sadly begrimed, and was indig nantly- asked by his Officer, "Patrick O'Flynn ; how long do you wear a shirt ?" and replied promptly, "twenty-eight Ulixiu!s4 sir." 'his reminds me of an incident which is said to have occurred recently In Chatham street, New York, where atountryman was clamorously besieged by a shopkeeper.— "Have you any fine shirts?" said the coun tryman. "4 splendid assortmttut, sir. Step sr, Nvely price and, every style— " Are they clean ?" "To be sum. Step in, sir."

WILD LITE 17NDER THE EQVATOIL Paul du Chaffin, the noted African hun ter, has published another volume, detailing his exploits in the great Ibrest of Equatori al Africa, with wild -negroes, snakes, leopards, elephants, and other beasts of the wilderness. We make a Tew extracts. Here is one of his ENAX.3 StORIZES. "After an early breakfast I started for the hunt, I had with me my best gun ; the slave that followed me had another gun ; this one was loaded with bullets; I had my dinner with me, and that dinner was a piece of the bull I had killed the day before which bad been roasted on charcoal. I intended to dine on the banks of some little rivulet, so that I might have water to drink during my meal. I would have no plate except a leaf ; the trunk of a fallen tree was to be my seat, and my knees were to be my table. • With a light step I left our camp. My spirits were buoyant; discoveries of new animals, of new birds, of new countries loomed up in the distante. How much I Would have to tell my friends on my return from that strange and wild land I had come to see, if God granted me life and health ! We went through prairies, swamps, and forest. -At last we came to a spot where once a plantation stood ; It was Intersected by several litle brooks of clear water. My man shouted, "Omembaompolo I" (a large snake,) and I saw at the same moment, an enormous black shining snake (a species of naja,) one of the most dangerous species. I knew he was coming in our diroction, and belonged to that species that whe&bullied raj} itself erect and.wants to fight7He was aWbly bigfellow, one of the largest I had ever seen; he looked loathsome and horrid; I could see distinctly his triangular head. I . fired in haste, hoping to break his spine, but missed the reptile, and immediately he erected himself to a few feet in bight, and whistled in the most horrid manner, his tongue coming out sharp and pointed like an arrow. 'fired again right into his head, and I do not know why, but I missed him again. Then the fellow gave a spring ; I really do not know if he came toward me for I fled panic-stricken, and when at a sails distance reloaded my gun with small shot, and returned to the spot where I bad shot at him. I spied something just getting out of a little rivulet. It was the very Snake it self which had crossed tho Water, and , be fore he was entirely out I Bred and killed him, or rather I succeeded in breaking his spine, and making him helpless for attack or for running away. Bet he was not dead, and when I approached him he again gave a sharp whistle. I cut a branch of a tree fora stick to kill hint with, and Oen ex amined his fangs; they were of enormous size, and almost en inch in length, This snake was about ten feet long. We left it on the spot, taking its head and tail with us, which we carefully paoked in leaves, for we wanted to show to our fellows of the camp what a big snake we had kill ed. This species of naja is the only one I have ever seen which could erect itself." A 13.1TAYE OETANLYAR. One day I wituessed a fearful scene. A. man, a native of (force, an bland on the coast of Senegambia, who had the reputa tion of being a snake-charmer, and was then at the Gaboon, had succeeded in cap twine ono oZ theca larett nab_ Re was a bold man, and prided himself on never be ing afraid of any snake, however venomous the reptile might be; nay, not only was he not afraid of any of them, but he would tight with any of them, and get hold of them. I had often seen him with snakes in his hands, Ile was careful, of course, to hold them just by the neck below the head, in such a manner that the head could not turn on itself and bite him. That day he brought into a large open place, perfectly bare of grass, one of these wild naja, that he had-just captured, and was amusing himself by teasinglhe horrid and loathsome creature when I arrived. It was a huge one ! Most of the people of the villgge had fled, and those natives who like myself were look ing on, kept a long way off. • Not a Mpong we man, not a single inhalitant of the whole region I have explored, would have ever dared to do what the - Goree man did. Two or three times, as the snake crawled on the ground, we made off in the opposite direction with the utmost speed, myself, I sin afraid, leading off in the general sttim peck . ; though I had provtded myself with a gun. It was perfectly fearful, perfectly horrid and appalling, to see that man _making a plaything of this monster ; laughing, as we. may say, at death, for it could be nothing else, I thought. At first when I saw him he had the snake around hikbody, but he held it firmly just below the neck, and could see by the muscles of his arm that he had to Use great strength. As long as this part of the body is held firmly the snake loses much of its great pbwer of crushing one to death, as the boa-constrictor or python does with larger animals, and as small snakes do with smaller game; but with this neje the danger would have been the venomous bite. Then with his other hand he took the tail of the snake, and gave it a swing and grad ually unfolded the reptile from his black body, which was warm and shining with excitement, but always holding the head. On a sudden he threw the snake on the ground. Then the creature began to crawl away, when suddenly the Goree man mime in front of it with a light stick and instantly the monster erected itself almost to half Its full length, gave a tremendous whistls, which we all heard, looked glaringly and fiercely in the man's face with its sharp, Pointed tongue out, and then stood still as if it could not move. The Gores man, with his little stick in his left band, touched It lightly, as though to tease it. It was &fear ful sight—and if he bed been near enough the snake would, no doubt, have sprung up on its antagonist. The man, as Ike teased and infuriated the snake with the rod* he held in his left band, drew the attention of the reptile toward the stick ; then soddenly and in the wink of an, eye, almost as _quick as lightning, with his right hand he got hoid of the creature just nude; his head. The same thing thatl have just described again took place. The snake folded itself round Ids body ; then he unfolded the snake, which was once more let loose, and now Lids. horrid serpent IMeo infiniated that as soon se he was thiowft.bn the ground he . erected himself, and the glare of bis gat was somathbig terrific, .

It grows almost Upon a level with the ground, and is of a splendid red color. Not only were gorillas fond of the tonda, but I myself liked it very muck, is did -also the negroes: I am very fond of the subdued and gratelhl acid of this ikult, The kind that grows on the sandy prairies of sea-shore is not fit to. eat. Many and many - timed would have maned In the forest without the tonda. We were not mistaken, for ire 14rid . everywhere gorilla marks, and now - and then we could see the huge foot-prints o f souse old monster, which probably would have come and offered us battle if he bad t4en near at hand; at other places we saw where they had seated themselves and been eating the tonda. At another place near a little stream we discovered that a lemsfe gorilla and her babe had been drinking. for I could see the tiny feet of the little one. "There must be gorillas not far off," whispered Malaouen Into my ears, and a; the same time he looked carefully at his gun. Queriaouen and Gambo gave a chuckle, and looked at litalsonen and at me. We all named in silence ; we were then in one of the thickest and densest parts of the loran ; all was apparently still but the quick ear of Malaonen had detects dsomething, had heard a noise, and he wanted to know the cause of it. We went so excited that our breathing was loud and distinctly audible. We were all close together and did not move. We at once cocked our guns, for we heard the moving of branches Just ahead of us, when lo the forest resounded with the terrific roar of the gorilla which made the very earth fairly shake under oar feet. As soon as the gorilla saw us he stood - up, and beat his cheat with his powerful hands until it resounded like an immense bass drum, His intensely black face was something horrid to behold ; his sunken deep gray eyes looked like the eyess of a demon, and he opened his mouth and gave vent to roar alter roar, showing his powerfbl canine teeth. How big they were t they were frightful to look upon ; the Inside of his mouth was so red. It was a male gorilla, a real fighting 141- low, and was not afraid of us, How hor rid he looked as the hair on the top of his head twitched up and down, end as he made the woods ring with his awful roar until the forest wait thil of the din I We stood in silence, guff In hand, and I was ready to fire, when Idalaouen, who is a cool fellow, said, '=Not yet." The mobster, according to them, was not near enough. He stopped for a minute or so, and then seated himaelf, for his legs did not wem well adapted to support his huge body.--.. The gorilla looked at us with his evil gray eyes, then best his breast with his long, powerful a9d gigantic arms, giving another howl of defiance. How awful was that howl ! He then advanced upon us. Now he stopped, and, though not tar off, they all said, "Not yet." I must own to having been somewhat accustomed to see gorillas. I was terribly excited, for I always !hit that if the animal was not killed, some one of us would be killed, I now Judged he was-not-more than ten or twelve yards from its, and I could see plainly the ferocious and fiendish face of the monstrous ape: It was working with rage ; his huge teeth were ground against each other, so that we could hear the sound. the skin of the forehead was moved rapidly back and forth, bringing a truly devilish ex pression upon the hideous face; then once more he opened his mouth and gave a roar which seemed to shake the woods like thun der, and, looking us in the eyes, and beat ing biz breaat, advanced again. This time he wits within eight yards from - us before he stopped again. My breath was growing short with excitement as I watched the huge beast. Ma'am:ten said "Steady," as he came up. When he stopped Malaouen said "Now ;" and before be could utter the roar for which he was opening his mouth, three musket - balls Were in his body, and he fell dead almost without a struggle. Gam-• bo had not fired; he bad kept his gun in reserve in case of accident. "Do not hie lob loon. It you do not kill him lie will kill you," said friend' Malaouen to me —a Ace of advice which I found afterward to be literally true. It was a huge beast, and a very old 'one indeed. .Gorillas vary in bight like men. This one was over 5 feet 6 inches. Its arms spread nut 7 'feet and 2 inches. Its bare,lnge, brawny chest measured 50 Inches round"; and the big too or thumb of its foot measured nearly 6 in ches In clicumference. Its arm seemed only like an immense bunch of.musele, and its legs and 'claw-like feet were so well fitted for grabbing and holding on that I did not wonder that the seams believed ;that this animal concealed itself in trees, and pulled • up with his foot any living thing, leopard, ox, or man, that passed beneath. There is no doubt that the gorilla could do this, but that he does, Ido not believe. They are ferocious and Mischievous, but not omit , 'WOW. A.
