For the girl is dead that's single,
And gide are not what they seem..
Life p teat .! life is earnest ! •
Single blessedness a fib
"Man thou art, to man returnost,"
Has beenepoken of the tit,.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow,
de mu destined end or way,
Thit tepee that each to.iporrow ,
Finds us nearer marriage day.
Life is long and youth is fleeting,
Ard our hearts though light Lind gay,
Still, like pleasant dreams are beating
Wedding marches all the way.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In tho bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
Be a heroine— a wife.
Trust no suture, however pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury its dead !
Act—act to tho living present—
Heart within and Hope ahead.
Lives of married folks remind us
We can live out lives as well,
And when dying leave behind us,
Such examples as shall tell,
Such examples that "other,
Wasting time in idle gport.
Or forlorn, unmarried brother.
Seeing. shall take heart and court.
Let us, then, be:up and doing,
With 4 heart on Triumph set
Stilt continuing, still pursuing,
And each one a husband get.

Atter witnessing th e inhumanities o f
which I wrote in my last at Cayenne we
gladly weighed anchor and put to sea
From the highest to the lowest, all were
alike in their condemnation of the shameful
and cruel practices of the government.
Now what is the moral effect of inflicting
such punishments on human beings as that r
The state receives a greater portion of the
shame than the hardened culprits to whom
the sentence was attached. Has such a
State any virtues, they should—
" Plead for her like angels, true-wet-tongued,"
After being out a few days we crossed the
mouth of the Amazon, the eking of waters.'
From four degrees north to twenty south of
the equator. Every stream that flows down,
the Eastern slope of the Andes is a tribu
tary to the Amazon, This is as though all
the rivers from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande united their waters in one mighty
flood. It pours forth with such impetus as
to force itself—an unmixed qurrent—into
the ocean for more than fifty leaugues. The
whole area drained by the Hississippi and
its branches is just half that of the Ama
zon. This is more than a third of all
South America,
and equal to two-thirds of
all Europe. A noted engineer has startled
the English:with the fact that all Western
g u ro p e could be placed in it without touch
ing its boundaries. About one halt' of Bo
livia, two-thirds of Peru, three-fourths of
Equaclor, and one-half of Now Granada
besides the greater portion of Brazil ate
drained by Amazon and its tributaries.
But for .the want of steam communication
most of the trade of all these parts goes
west across the Andes mountains to Pacific
ports, where it is shipped and after doubling
Cape Born and sailing tee thousand miles it
is then only at the mouth of the Amazon, on
its way to Europe er the United States,
Nearly all its branches are navigable to a
great distance and they, afford an extent of
water communication uoparalled in any oth
er portion of the world. The total estimate
is 14,000 navigable miles on it and its afflu
ents. All these rivera fie* through the
Holiest soil and tho most luxuriant vegeta

- 'Among. -the bloodthirsty and ,cruel men
who stood forth as leaders z in the work of
the conquest and plunder of the Amazonas,
Genoalos. Pizarro, the brother of the con
queror of Peru,`was second to few, if any.'
His talents may have been less, but his dar
ing and Cruelty were greater. In 1541, this
adventurer set out frem Quito' with an ar
my of three hundred soldiers, and four
thousand Indians to serve them as bearers
of burdens with the design of discovering
the land of gold.
This fabulous kingdom received a name
from the fashion of its monarch, who was
said, in order to wear a more magnitieentat
tire than any other potentate in the world,
put on a daily eoating of gold dust. His
body was annointed every morning with
costly and fragrant gum to whien the gold
dust adkered when blown over him by. a
tube. In this barbaric attire the Span- ,
iards denominated filth Et Dott.-ioothe
gilded king. No fictions concerning this ' 1
monarch or his kingdom were too extrava
gant for credence. Be Was generally -lo
cated in the grand city -hi which no less
than three thousand workmen' were employ
ed iu the silversmith's street, The columns
of hip palace were described as of porphyry,
and alabaster s the throne was of ivory and
the steps leading to it were of gold ()th
ere built the palace of white stone-and. or
namented it with golden suns and moons of
silver, while living lions fastened by .chaitri
of gold guarded its entrance. With day
dreams like these dancing before the minds
of commanders and soldiers the army• of Pi.
zarro set outpcherishing the highest initial
pattern. • ,
la proce eding eastward they were 'Oblig
ed tb cut their way through forests,itrelimb
mountains, and - mitered againstlostile tribe s
of Indians. Every tribe with which they
met was interrogated about El Dorado, and
when unable to give any intelligence of it,
they were put to torture: some were even
burned alive and others• torn to pieces by
bloodhounds, which the spottier& had train
ed to feed ou human flesh.
The effects• of this dreadful cruelty re
turned upon the heads of the perpetrators
with a terrible iengeanCe. As the tidings
of their approach spread from tribe to tribe,
the poor natives learned to flatter their
hopes and send them on. The rains came
00, and lasting for months, rotted their gar
meats from their bodies and they could nei
ther make nor find a shelter. At length
their provisions were exhausted-and they be.
gan to teed upon their dogs. The sick mul.
tiplied and they were obliged to build a ship
to carry them. This was a great task for
soldiers to perform, especially without the
requisite implements. Before it was snow•
plished they had to slaughter their horses
for food. Their troubles continued and
even increased; yet with death staring
them in the taus Pizario continued to seize
prisoners and put them in irons. When at
length alter reaching the banks of the Napo
one thousand of his men had perished.
The commander new heard of a larger
river into which this emptied and was told
that the country was fertile and abounded
in provieions. lie tberefoie determined to
dispatch the vessel with fifty men to procure
supplies for the rest. Francisco de Orrel.
Jana, a knight of Truxillo was put in com•
mend of this expedition The stream car
ried them rapidly downward through an up
inhabited country. When they had descen
ded about.thrce hundred wiles t he
, question
was started wb,eitier they should not aband
on the idea of returning. They had not
found food sufficient far themselves, and
how could they succor tho army ? Besides
how could they ascend ag ainst the cur
rent. They might as. well continue their
descent for 'rivers to the ocean run' and
there was some chance that' they might in
this way save their lives and perhaps make
new discoveries. Orrellaoa urged these eon
sid,erations with so much plausibility that all
consented save two—a friar, and a young
knight who. contended against the plan as
treacherous and , cruel. Orellana disposed
of this objection by setting the knight on
'shore to perish-or return to •the army as
best he could.' The friar 'became an easy
convert and afterwards took 'a prominent
part in the scheme. Orrellana then re•
flounced the commission he •had, received
froni Pizarro, and received an election from
his men as their nomnanuder. •
It Unfit 'on' the het day 'of December 1541,,
tharthis'advehturons voyage was caMnienc..

Their prospects were gloomy enough.' Their
stock •of provisions'. was wholly exhausted,
'and'they Were forced 'to boil the soles -of

, One Sabbath afternoon a .big boy
_Stood
'at the door of a Sabbath 'school. He was
so' bad that he had beep. tufted out of school
the Sabbath before. cilia lather and mother
had brought him, and begged that he might
tin received again. The Superintendent said,:-
We should be glad to, do him good, but
we are afraid ,he will ruin all the other
children. it is very'had fire a school* when
o big boy obts• is wicked example.'
'We know lati , is a bad boy at eabool,, : air, i
said the parents, 'but he is ten times worse
at bome,; he will.be lost if you do , not take
him back.'
'We itOuld take Mtn irtire

school again, but we cannot take him back
without making sure of histomLbehavior. , —.-

A pause followed; the elder boys shook
their heads. They said they knew him so
tiell. The otlisrg did not' carelor ''"
tut bee little boy pitied big , bad , boy,
and was very sorry, that no one would be
surety., The little boy, went by the name of
'Ragged rem.' It vvas,not his r fault.tbat he
Was ragged, for his mother was very 'poor.—
The Superintendent aeon heard his little
voiee saying, 'lf you please sir, I will, sit.) , F
'You, Tout! a little boy, like you! Do
you know what it means to be surety, Tom r
'Yes, sir, if yoti - please it 'meaus that
when he is a bad boy again I'm to be pun

'And are you willing to be punished for
that big boy Y' .
'Yes, sir, if he's bad'again.'
'Then come in,' said the Superintendent
looking to the dour; and the big boy, with
downcast face, walked across the room.—
He was thinking as he walked, know I'm
a bad boy, but I'm not so bad as that.
never let that little fellow be punished for
me—never ?' I think God had put that
thought into the boy's mind. He was gra
ciously helping Tom's work as the surety.
As, the children wets leaving the school
the Superintendent saw this big, boy and lit
tle Tom walking and talking together. He
said to himself, 'I am afraid that boy will do
Tom harm.' I must go and look after them '
When ho reached the cottage where Tom
lived he said to the mother, 'Where is your
son Tom T'
'O, be is just gone up stairs with a great
boy that• he brought with him. I don't
know what -they are doing.' •
'May I go up r
'0 yes, sir.'
The Superintendent went slowly and gent.
ly up'the stairs, as he 'reached the top he
could. see through the door that Toth and the
big buy were, kneeling together. He soon
heard Tom's, voice saying, '0 Lord, make
this boy, that has been the worst boy in tho
school, 0 Lord, make hini the best' boy.'
The. Superintendent kneeled by Tom's
side, and they all prayed together. ,
God beard them.. The, big bad boy be.

from him, fall from the bridge into the river
below. The 'agonized frith& looked down the!
&edit. He saw the train' coming swiftly,
toward the bridge, and knew that to do his
utmost there was barely time to •close the'
draw. In the water belpw him his boy was•
struggling for life. A leap into the stream
at this moment, and he could save the child.
But the train game thundering down, and r he
knew that if he left his post for even a sin
gle instant, a hundred lives might-be saceifi•
ded. He stayed. Slowly the bridge was
swung into position, and the train passed
swiftly over; and none of the passengers
knew what their,safety had . cost the poor
workman, who sprang into the river only to
take thence the lifeless body of his boy.
Is there any story of heroism to surpass
this Think, if you can, of the terrible al
ternatives of duty which were presented to
this man. There was no time to do liberate.
His son was dying. He could easily rescue
him by leaping into the river beneath. ; But
the leap must have cost many other• precious
lives—perhaps hunderedsand had .. he
right to itooeril these r 1 The agony of a life
time of suffering must have been compressed
into that moment of doubt. With sublime
and heroin fortitude this noble father re
eolved to do hialiigliest duty , and to, that
duty his son was sacrificed. flow 'many 'of
us would have done the same ?
The Sabbath Breaker and his End.
About twenty-five yeate ago a very wealthy,
but a very wicked merchant, was doing a
prosperous business in the city of New York..
Among his other sins against God, that 'of
Sabbath-breaking seethed most manifest, and
he appeared to , take' delight. in violating the
sanctity of the lord's day. As be did husi
ness.oor ri very Urge scale, 'be' at' one • time
