That in their heart the viol.t.

During a voyage . a few years since, I
-was conversing with the mato of a .vessel
when he concerted in the; view presented,
and observed that it called to mind one
of the most thrilling scenes he Lad over
beheld. With this he related the follor-,
in-glory : " ''
"I was at sea oa the broad ,Atlantis as
we now are. It was just such a bright
moonlight night as this, and the sea was
quite as rough. The captain had turned i
id,- and I was upon watch, when suddenly
there was a cry of "a man overboard."—

tossed upon'a most frightful sea.
As we rose upon a mountain wave, we
discovered the man upon a distant billow.
We heard his cry, lied responded—" Co
ming." As we descended into the trough
of the sea, we lost sight of this man and
heard nothing but the roar of the ocean.—
As we rose on the wave. =again sew him,
and distinctly heard his call. We goo;

The edifor of the AlbaOy Register com
ments thus upon this simple word, se collo
'non and yet so of solemn and tender
mooning :—"11ow many emotions cluster
around that word ! How •full of sadness,
and to us, how full of sorrow it sounds !
It is with us it consecrated weld. We
heard it once within the year as we hope
never to bear it again. It was in the
chamber 'of death, at the still War of
night's none. The curtains to the win
dows were all closed, the lights were all
shaded, and we stood in the dim and sol
emn twilight, with others arouttd the
Led of the dying. The damps of death
were on her pale young brow, and
coldness was ou her lips, as we kissed her
the lagt time while living. "Good-bye,
my du lighter," we whispered, and "Good-
father," came faintly from her dying
lips. We know not if she ever spoke more, '
but "good.bye" was the last we over heard
of her sweet voice. We hear that sorrow
ful %void often and often, as we sit alone,
busy with'the memories of the past.
TRUISIIIB.-13nrrowed garments seldom
fit well. Haste often trips up his own
heels. Men often blush to hear what they
are not ashamed to net. Pride is a flower
that grows in the devil's garden. More
men are drowned in the wine cups thou in
the ocean. lie who buys too many su
perfluitice may be obliged to sell his no.
eessuries. A man that hoards riches and
enjoys them not, is like'annsa that curries
gold and oats thistles.
No one ever did, ever can, or ever will
love an habitual (miter, fault finder or
scolder. Husbands, Wives, children, rela
tives, or, domestics, have no affection for
peevish, (rutin' fault finders. Few tears
are shed over the graves of such.. Per.
sons of high Moral principles may tolerate
Atm, may bear with them. 'Ninny's man
has been made miserable by a peevish bus
band.
Ono pound of gold may bo drawn into
a wire that would'oftend around the globe.
So one good deed may be felt through all
time and even extend its consequences into
eternity. Though done in the first flush
of youth, it may gild the last hours of a
long life, and form the .only bright spot
in it.
Moss will grow upon gravestones, the
ivy will oling . to the mouldering pile; the
misletee springs from the dying branch ;
and, God be praised, something green,
something fair to the sight, and grateful
to the heart, will yet twine around and
grow,-out of the seams and cracks •df the
desolate temple of the human heart.
The natives of .Australia are a simple
race, Their superstitions are curious.—
They believe that after death they return

ILE DUTTER TREK.--7110Dera is a tree
in Africa called the ghee tree ' from which
butter of a most excellent kind is obtained.
It is found near Kaaba, on the banks of the
Niger. These trees grow in great numbers
all over that part of Bambara. They are
not planted by the natives, but are found
growing naturally in the woods ; and, in
clearing woodland for cultivation, every
tree is cut down but the shea. The tree
itself very much resembles the American
oak, and the kernel in
: water, has some
what the appearance of a spanish olive.—.
The kernel is enveloped in a sweet pulp,
under a thin green rind, and the butter
produced from it, besides the_ advantage of
its keeping the whole year without salt, is
whiter, firmer, and of a richer flavor than
the best butter ever made from cow's
milk. The growth and preparation of
this•comModity seem to be among the first

A Snake Combat.
Combats between the rattle and black
Snakes uro certain if they meet, and the
black snake is, with rare exceptions, the
conqueror. Upon seeing mai other, theiao
aiiimals instantly assume their respective
attitudes of defiance in their organization.
The rattlesnake coils itself up, ready , for at
tack or defense . ; the blacksnake, being a
constrictor, moves about from side to side,
and is in constant activity—eater/01y ox
citing each other's passions. The :rattle
snake finally settles down into a glowing
exhibition of animosity, its faugs.exposcd,•
its rattles iu constant agitation, The
black snake, seemingly conscious that the
moment of strife has come, note commen
ces circling round its enemy; moving so
swiftly, that it seems but a gleam of dull
light; the; rattle snake attempts to follow
the movement ; but seen becomes honfu
sed and drops it head in despair ; then it
is that the black snake dartiupon the back
of the neck of its deadly foe, seizes it be
tween its teeth,. and springing upward,
envelopes the rattle snake in its folds.—
The struggle, thhugh not long, is painful ;
the combatants. roll over in the dust, and
get entangled in the bushes ; but every
moment the. black snake is tightening its
hold, until the rattle snake gasping for
breath; becomes helpless and dies. Fpr t a
while the blaoksnake still retains its grasp;
you can-perceive its muscles working with
constant energy ; . but finally, it cautiously
uncoils itself, and quietly betakes to the
water, where recovering its energy, it
dashes about a nionteut as if in exultatiOu,
and disappears from *the scene.
