We hail each new contribu tion to this branch of literature, not so.much be cause it gratifies,s, laudable desire for knowledge, as because each new ray of light that . is cast upon this neglected continent may be deemed the harbinget of a brightei day that is soon to dawn upon a long-suffering race. The volume beiore us, however, cannot be re garded as the offspring of an enlightened phi lanthropy, or even of an ardor for scientific re search. • It Is indeed unique. Its author claims to have been ",the first young man about town to make a 6ona flag tour in Western Africa, to flirt with pretty savages, and to smoke his cigar among cannibals.". About such a missionary as Berman Melville in Omoo, this London exquisite, transported to the land of the gorillai, describes his wanderings •and loitering among the poor savages, in a sketchy, gossipping style; whilst for the Christian reader his liveliest , pages will have a melancholy interest in which their author feels'no share.

Those great blaok things like cannon balls, that you see in all the nut - shops are cocoanuts, but, if you shoed take one of them to a man near (in India) who has a whole garden of cocoanut trees, I don't think he would know what-it was. ' Cocoanuts are not black here (in India). When growing they look like great green walou's, and when_ they are ripe they are yellow, and sometimes almost as. bright as a good ripe orange. .Walnuts have two shells you know ; one is green and the other white. So the- cocoanut has two shells, but the inside one is not black either, until after it is very old. It is a light kind of yellow. The outer. shell is very tough when ripe, and ill m a d e of a great many little strings, which are used for making ropes, and twine, and mats.

There - are more titan fifty thousand people - in this parish; so many- of them have not- yet been reached by the _Gospel,- . • The people were seated on the 'ground around. The missionary.was resting - on a log . of weed, rolled up against the trunk of one of the trees, and had begun to 'question some of the people. All at once the pee .ple rose and stood-on eachside l to let a tall, good,looking:Old man come forward near to where the missionary was. One man ran in one direction, -and two .others in another, and soon.: returned: bringing, a beautiful spotted deer . skinf . - . or sikon, and two little pillois to Rut under his knees, as he sat tailor fashion on the fur. -All the peo ple remained standing until he was: seated,- and-then took their seats. The missionary: sponlearne'd that hewas the village doctor, a man who was celebrated for his learning and heathenism.` :He had journeyed far away to visit celebrated :idol: temples, and "offered" raa'n - y sacrifices to then; had read many of their heathen books,_ and was :a man of great influence in the village. The missionary soon found out that be teas riet:Satisled With 'his' heathenism; but was apparently :desirous to learn about Christianity, He preached to the people very- Well 'that evening. -Though he was a heathen yet his...testimony was such that We think the:influence of it is still felt in that village.,... This is the way he preached. One of -the speakers was. trying to - prove ;the: foolishness .of heathenism by stories taken: from their own books. He told them that their Bible, as they .oall it, told about a thief who was tailed while robbing a temple, bot while his soul was being carried away to hell, one of their gods came and claimed-it; and carried it'away to heaven, , . because in - order to see -where the jewels were which he -wished to steal, he had trimmed the lamp which was burning be 'fore, the idol. This trimming 'the lamp, azocirding to tbeir religion, saved his soul, though he died while stealing , . :When he said - this story wain Bible, one man .shoutednut, That's a -"It is true," said the doctor, and -..1 think he named the _place where it was to be found. The Chris tian went on to show other foolish things taught by their Bible, and the Doctor de dared them all to be true stories according to their religion; though he did n't believe then'. The moon was shining brightly down through_ the great cocoanut leaves as the missionary,earne„ away from :that - meeting, and he could but think of the thty when the bright Sun of Righteousness shall scat ter all the darkness of heathenism, and wile he-,pratked rGod for the Precious priv ilege of doing a lithe for — Xesus, he prayed that he might meet in heaven some of those who had for the first time heard of a Sav iour there under the cocoanut tree.

Idle Girls, The number of idle, useless girls in all of our'large cities seems to be steadily in creasing. They lounge- or sleep ihrough their mornings, parade the streets 'during the afternoons; and assemble in frivolous companies of tkeir own and the other sex to pass away , their evenings. What a store of unhappiness for themselves and others are they-laying up -for the coming time, when real duties and high responsibilities shall be thoughtlessly assumed ! They are skilled in no domestic duly—nay, they despise them; have no habits of industry, nor taste for the useful. What will they be as wives and mothers ? Alas, for the husbands and children, and alas for them selves Who can wonder if domestic un happiness or domestic ruin follow ? It is one of the world's oldest maxims, that idleness is the nursing mother 'of all evil and wretchedness. , How sadly. strangels it that so many parents—moth ers especially—forget this, and bring up their children in dainty idleness. - They are but sowing the wind to Nap the whirl;, wind.

The drunkard has been known to renounce his darling vice.; the slave to dress and ex travagance, her besetting sin; but the wasping temper, the irritating tone, the rude, crogmatie manners, and the hundred nameless negligences that ' spoil the-beauty of association have rarely done other than proceed till the action of disgust and grad• nal alienation, as turned all the currents of affection from their course, leaving nothing but a barren track over which the mere skeleton of the companionship stalks alone.

Ref Messenger Waifs 6f Animal Life la California, As the capricious and extraordinary sea son of 1864 advances, the zoological life of the valley - s s and. mountains, pestilent to the cultivator but diverting to him Who wanders by flood and field, increases and multiplies.. The ground squirrels, the ken garoo or ..jumping rat, and gopher mole, farnished with: pouches and baskets' to store spare morsels—all three of which burrowing animals are represented in our State by distinct species of each family— abound and multiply this year as they never seemed to abound heretofore, and al most defy efforts of extermination. They all breed below the earth in' colonies, and not only, devour the crops of vegetables and grass on the surface, but attack with greediness the roots of all fruit trees under ground and commit an immense amount el injury. The squirrel is said to bring forth six at a birth, four or five times a-year, and the other two congeners four every three months, which is about as bad as rats and rabbits. The kangaroo rat, however, is confined to .a few localtiei on the coast and in the mountain valleys, and is specially abundant in many- parts of the Tulare country. There are not less than twenty kinds of thcse small rodentici not bigger than a squirrel, which are met with inside the confines of California, several of which live above ground, and'seldorct trouble the far mer : but all the underground ones are- his unrelenting and pertinacious enemies _Ode of the sylvan rats, twice the size of a mouse, constructs a nest of sticks in the unmolested oak groves, as big as an.

The fore-mentioned rodentio, increase in a tremendous ratio is the settled parts of the State where the cultivators and herds men haver thinned off their natural de stroyers—the bears, lions, coyotes, cats, skunks, ferrets, hawks, owls, and snakes. Every green crop is attacked by the squir rel, and they are terrible on all eggs and 3 oung chiekens this year, and very wasteful where grain and hay are stored. A tired citizen wandering in the country a few - days ago, tells us that he came across a mustard- field in- blossom, where he sat for hours admiring the hundreds--the swarms of - `humming-birds, hunting up mosquitoes .and aphids, flashing in and out and tilling their cropi to, depletion among the fragrant flowers of the beef-eater's-con diment, which by the way, makes the best of honey pasture for the busy boo in Cali _ fornia. Beats and lions have made great havoc among the cattle and horses, as their food of oats and wild fruits is everywhere scarce this season. As the former are thick in the - mountain pastures where the stock ani mals have been recently taken, which have to be aienstomed and - acclimated to theii new- ranges, great numbers hive been lost ; audit is feared,that the sheep in thousands will soon fall a prey to these enemies, if not to regular nostalagia, before they Can be, thinned off - by December next. Ants flies, muequitoes and tarantulas, with all sorts -of weasels and bugs, infest the air .and the water in vicinities where they Were very seldom known before, and are becoming excessively troublesome. Geese and: ducks have been multitudinous ly abundant and familiar this year. They have effected much damage in localities 'where, the youn4-srass is first seen and longesf4reserved, and have done great in jury- to yeung grain. Crowe, ravens, and rooks, are as thick as musquitoes near willow swamps, and a bigger set of thieving rascals never waylaid the good things of the farmer or Orchardist, and the black villains now turn up their noses at:worms . and caterpillars. Hundreds of hives of bees in lazy, neg lectful or ignorant hands, have deserted - to the ferests or been starved out, as their flowery pastures dried _up - early in Febru ary; and even among experienced apiarists they will do very badly, and occasion unusual expense labor.

And badgers and possums are unwontedly famil iar in places where they had not been seen before in years, and with skunks unusually plentiful, smelling not sweet but loud, they make havoc on eggs and chickens, and thank heaven, squirrels and gophers they 'natter some.

As to tame animals, it is now undoubtedly well known throughout the State for 1864, that no calving, foaling, or lambing is worth a pound of salt. The mothers have no milk 'and the young must die. It is :a pity the natural history , of Cali fornia is not better known. It, merely ex ists in long, dry, and scientific lists and catalogues, scattered in hundreds of vol umes in every language and country of Europe and America, and no Goldsmith or Audubon has worked their gambols and tricks and sly ways, or habits and uses of vantage and disadvantage into model les- sons.._yetr The arcane of the mountains, valleys, and uplands are even jet very imper fectly listed, particularly the inseot lire;' but it is high time they were, for all this kind of thing has gone on since the year One, during the howlings- of war and the pipings of peace, and science never stands still no more than human passions, by the beneficent law. of Providence.—San Fran cave Bulletin, The New-York • Tribune _says: "The number of immigrants landed at this port between the Ist of January last and the 91st of May, inclusive, - is .68,078; of whom 41,283 were from Ireland, 15,34 a froin Germany, 8,114 from England, 1,186 from Scotland, 214 fiom Wales, and 1,933 from sil other countries; being an increase of 18,396 over the corresponding period of . list year.

He is opposed to corn, which, he maintains, only fattens the animal, without inereasinc , his physical energy or actual health. The custom of giVing a horse hard food—that i4corn and grain which will rattle in the pan—is sev.r.ly, condemned, and cow pared t •n °Sling • of. lit ;le pebbles ; and ihe aiithor u g s La. t the grain be softenedlby =amine..

In Iceland, dried fish is employed as provender. But if the treatment of the horse is .wion, arti his ford utterly without variety, his home is particularly deserving of cen sure. -In butlding a - stable, nature and her requirements are seldom considered.
