The:writer's' account of the' Northern E.
..
, quimaux is well calculated to refresh one's
love of our much abused civilization, since
the utmost squalor and' degradation' of city
dens, do not equal the sloth and vice of
these favored hohildrou of nature." One
extract will suffice: -
These' unsophisticated children of the
frostland never 'wash off dirt—for the sim
ple reason that,,of dirt, as such, they have
no conception or idea. If their faces get
so fount' to clog their nostrils, they open
the 'air passages, just as they clear away
the offal from, the door of their tents when
impedes thiiir ingress and egress. On our
explatning to a woman that we wished her
to wash her face, she, at first, refused ; but,
being bribed with a paper of needles, she
caught a bird, skinned it, and spitting on
its fresh bleeding skin, polished her face
with it. My friend Mayouk bad dirt on
his face ono quarter of an inch thick, when,
I first saw him. The next, time I met him.
I did not recognise him, and actually re
quested Mayouk himself to send Mayouk
to me. Two of our sailors had caught him
land in spite of his struggles, insisted on
washing his face. Ho did not seem to ap
preciate the improvement it had made in'
his appearance : on the contrary he was
quite mortified, for he had become the
laughing stock of his follows.
I would like to speak plainly of the per
soual habits of these people, if it were on
ly for the benefit of a class of philosophers
among us. who delight in chanting the vi
ces of-civilization, and dreaming of what
man might be if ho could only get back to
a state of nature. But there are pictures. i
and life-like-ones, that we, cover with a cur-1

Improvidence: is another trait of these
"fresh children of impulse." We were at

Yet although' the aukti were flying rotted

they had lost seven by starvation during

we could make it uut by the Dokto Kayens

The Brave Boy.
I was sitting by a window in the second
story of one of the large boarding houses
at Saratoga Springs, thinking of abbent
friends, when 1 heard shouts of children
from the piazza bineath me.
"0 yes ; that's capital 1 so 'we will 1—

"0, 0.! so you must run and ask your
ma. Great baby, run along to your ma !
Ain't you ashamed ? I didn't ask my
mother." "Nor I, nor I." added half a
dozen voices.
"Be a man, William," cried the first
voice ; "come along with us, if you don't
want to be called a coward as long as you
live. Don't you see we are all waiting !"
I leaned forward to catch a view of the
children, and saw William standing with
one foot advanced, and his band firmly
clenched, in the midst of the group. lie

I should bee base coward if I were to tell
her_i wicked lie."
There was something commanding in
his tone which made the cuLly children
mute. It was the power of a strong soul
over the weaker; and they involuntarily
yielded him the tribute of respect.
I saw him in too evening emong the
gathered multitude in the parlor. Ere was
walking by his mother's Bide, a stately
matron; clad in widow's weeds. It was

1 and inielligence. Well might she be ,
proud of such a sou, one who could dare
to do right, when all were tempting to the
wrong. I shall probably never see the
brave beautiful boy again, but my heart
breathed a prayer that that spirit, now sof
strong in its integrity, might never be sul
lied by worldliness and sin—never, in com

The Catholic, Visitor of Pittsburg says,
"For our own part, we take this opportu-

to be tolerated? On tho contrary, 'we
