CHARITY.
"Now there three : Faith Hope Charity
but the greatest of these Is Charity."
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'

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

"Have you any fine shirts?" said the coun

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

rarcorsvin Wl= • GORUZL. •
We had come to a country where 'w
knew that gorillas were sure to be bond,
for there grew a pulpy pearshaped fruit, the
toads, of which the Wind is very fowl.
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 ,
