But I have earned it sore;
However, I shall not complain

It appears by the latest news from Sierra
Leone that on the 19th of November last, our
colored brethren of New Calabar made a raid
on the Brass men (also our brethren) and re
turned to Calabar Town on the 22d, with 37
prisoners. Determined to have a good time

to get up a man and brwther dinner, eo they
had the 37 men of grass butchered, and bar•
beetled, and ate them up' with infinite relish.
Every war canoe engaged in the raid received
its share of the edibles, and the chiefs were
eseessively jolly. The natives of those pans
are not above eating block men when they
cannot get missionaries. The dispatch, after
giving Ilto partionlaya of the feast, says,
"trade was consequently *topped." Whether

recommend the following good advice, TWA+
we find in an exchange :
Every person who tolls daily at any kind of
labor, requiring great mental or physical ex
ertion, should be extremely careful to pfactice .
a regular system of ablution at the close of
each day's work. Sometimes a person may
be so Completely exhanaled as to render this
anything but an inviting performance ; yet
by its onlietion a great deal of the refreshment
which the hours of repose are designed to
impart, is lost. To 14 clean is a strictly re
ligicrui duty, and is absolutely essential to
sound and refreshing slumber ; hence the
labor of keeping one's person clean is amply •
repaid by the elasticity which emanate from
nightly ablutions before retiring. Heed this
advice, and the reader- will sleep soundly ;
