That mysterious quarter of the globe, last in civilization—for in the geography of human advaucement, as well as _ ement geography, Egypt isa partof Asia—fortified against foreiguers by its compact form, its fatal fevers, the fabulous savagery of its inhabitants, and more than all, the uncertain terror which is everywhere projected like a shadow from the unknown, has within a few years past, lost a great part of its know nothing character. The sources of the Nile have been aimost reached. The countries to the south of Sahara have been crossed aud recrossed by white men, and steam has vexed a thousand miles of the waters of the Niger. North of the Cape of Good Hope Lake Ngami has recently added something to our knowledge, and its discoverer, Dr. Livingstone, is now astonishing the lovers of heroic perseverance and perfect maps, by his details of a walk of 2,000 miles from St, Paul de Loando on the Atlantic, to Quillimane on the Indian Ocean. Dr. Livingstone is nearly forty years old. His face is furrowed by hardships and thirty fevers, and black with exposure to a burning sun. His left arm is crushed and nearly help. less from the too cordial embrace of an African lion, and sixteen years among savages have given him African accent and great hesitauc in speaking English. Passing through all privations with the heart of a true hero, not as sacrifices but as victuries, he reached St. Paul de Loando, in May, 1854, after a foot journey of a thousand miles from his mission among the Bechuanas. He remained at St. Loando until the close of the year. when he set out for the unknown East. In March he arrived at Quillimune, where he was taken up by a British manof-war. On the way he traced the Leeambye down to the Zambeze thus demonstratieg the existence in the center of this unknown land a river some two thousand miles long. This immense stream, whose discovery is the great fruit of the journey, is in itself an enigma without parallel. But a small portion of its waters reach the seacoast, Like the Abyssinian Nile, it falls through a basaltic cleft, near the middle of its course, which reduces its breadth from 1000 to 20 yards, Above these falls it spreads out periodically into a great sea, filling hundreus of lateral channels; below it is a tranquil stream of a totally different character. Its mouths seem to be closing. The southernmost was navigable when the Portuguese first arrived in the country, 300 years ago, but it has long since ceased to be practicable, The Quillimane mouth has of late years heen impassable, even for a canoe, from July to February, aud for 200 or 300 miles up the river navigation is never attempted in the dry season, Andin the month of July, when the lower portion of the river,after its April freshets, has shrunk to a mere driblet, above the falls the river spreads out like a sea over hundreds of square miles, This, with frequent cataracts, and the hostility of the natives, would seem to be an effectual bar to the high hopes of fat trade and filibustering in which English merchants and jouruals are now indulging. During this unprecedented march, alone and among savages, to whom a white face wasa miracle, Dr. Livingstone was compelled to struggle through indescribable hardships. The bos. tility of the natives he conquered by his intimate knowledge of their character and the Bechuana tongue to which theirs isrelated. He waded rivers and slept in the sponge and ooze of marshes, being often so drenched as to be compelled to turn his armpit into a watch pocket. His cattle were destroyed by the terrible tse-tse fly and he was too poor to purchase a canoe. Lions were numerous, being worshiped by many of the tribes as the receptacles of the the departed souls of their chiefs; dangerous, too, as his . crushed arm testifies. However he thinks the fear of African wild beasts greater in England than in Africa. Many of his documents were lost while crossing a river in which he came near losing his life also, but he has memoranda of the latitudes and longitudes of a multitude of cities, towns, rivers and mountains, which . will go far to fill up the “unknown region” in . our atlasses, Toward the interior he found the country more fertile and more populous worsh'ped idols, believed in transmigrated existence after deaih, and performed religious ceremonies in groves and woods. They were less ferocious and suspicious than sea-board tribes, had a tradition of the deluge and more settled governments. Some of them practiced inoculation, and used quinine, and all were eager for trade, being eatirely dependent on English calico for clothing, a small piece of which would purchase a slave. Their language was sweet aad expressive. Although their women, on the whole, were not well treated. a mao having as many wives ashe chose, they were complete mistresses of their own houscs and gardens which the husband dared not enter in his wife’s absence. They were fond of show and glitter, and as much as $150 had been given for an English rifle. On the arid plateau of the interior water-melons supplied the place of water for some months of the year, as they do on the plains of Hungary in summer. A Quaker tribe on the river Zanga, never fight, never have consumption, scrofola, hydrophobia, cholera, smallpox or measles, These advantages, however. ous devotion to trade and raising children to make good their loss from the frequent inroads of their fighting neighbors. Dr. Livingstone’s discoveries, in their character and commercial value, have been declared by Sir Roderic Murchison to be superior to an since the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope by Vasco de Gama. But greeter than any commercial value is the lesson which they teach— that all obstacles yield to a resolute man,—N. Y. Tribune. Damascus THE OLprst City 1x THE Worwp.-The oldest city in the world, unlike most other aucieut cities, its prosperity has been comparatively uninterrupted. The waves of many wars have rolled over it; the city and the plain have often been deluged with blood; but the traces of war and pillage bave never long remained. The course of its history has been even. It has rarely been the seat of a mighty empire; but rather the head of a petty kingdom or of a subordinate province. Bente, though an oriental city, it has never equalled a Ninevah or a Babylon in the greatness of its power or the gran deur of its edifices; nor does it now resemble them in the depths of their fall or the extent of their ruins, It has flourished, while they have fallen; and even now it continues to flourish amid all the neglect and oppression of Turkish misrule.—Dr. Robinson’s Later Recorder. The Rochester American tells a story of a lady in that city whose dress was stepped upon by a partner in a dance. The skirt was torn, and a whalebone thrust into the circle in a very unseemly manner. The lady coolly took bold of the article, drew it from her. walked to the door, and threw it out, and took her place in the cotillon justin time to “forward and back.’’? That lady would walk up to the cannon’s mouth, or the altar, without fear of trembling. Arnorisms.—The exce]]euce of aphorisms consists not <o much in the expression of some rare and abstruse sentiment, as in the comprehension of some useful truth in few words.—Johnson.

That mysterious quarter of the globe, last in civilization—for in the geography of human advaucement, as well as _ ement geography, Egypt isa partof Asia—fortified against foreiguers by its compact form, its fatal fevers, the fabulous savagery of its inhabitants, and more than all, the uncertain terror which is everywhere projected like a shadow from the unknown, has within a few years past, lost a great part of its know nothing character. The sources of the Nile have been aimost reached. The countries to the south of Sahara have been crossed aud recrossed by white men, and steam has vexed a thousand miles of the waters of the Niger. North of the Cape of Good Hope Lake Ngami has recently added something to our knowledge, and its discoverer, Dr. Livingstone, is now astonishing the lovers of heroic perseverance and perfect maps, by his details of a walk of 2,000 miles from St, Paul de Loando on the Atlantic, to Quillimane on the Indian Ocean. Dr. Livingstone is nearly forty years old. His face is furrowed by hardships and thirty fevers, and black with exposure to a burning sun. His left arm is crushed and nearly help. less from the too cordial embrace of an African lion, and sixteen years among savages have given him African accent and great hesitauc in speaking English. Passing through all privations with the heart of a true hero, not as sacrifices but as victuries, he reached St. Paul de Loando, in May, 1854, after a foot journey of a thousand miles from his mission among the Bechuanas. He remained at St. Loando until the close of the year. when he set out for the unknown East. In March he arrived at Quillimune, where he was taken up by a British manof-war. On the way he traced the Leeambye down to the Zambeze thus demonstratieg the existence in the center of this unknown land a river some two thousand miles long. This immense stream, whose discovery is the great fruit of the journey, is in itself an enigma without parallel. But a small portion of its waters reach the seacoast, Like the Abyssinian Nile, it falls through a basaltic cleft, near the middle of its course, which reduces its breadth from 1000 to 20 yards, Above these falls it spreads out periodically into a great sea, filling hundreus of lateral channels; below it is a tranquil stream of a totally different character. Its mouths seem to be closing. The southernmost was navigable when the Portuguese first arrived in the country, 300 years ago, but it has long since ceased to be practicable, The Quillimane mouth has of late years heen impassable, even for a canoe, from July to February, aud for 200 or 300 miles up the river navigation is never attempted in the dry season, Andin the month of July, when the lower portion of the river,after its April freshets, has shrunk to a mere driblet, above the falls the river spreads out like a sea over hundreds of square miles, This, with frequent cataracts, and the hostility of the natives, would seem to be an effectual bar to the high hopes of fat trade and filibustering in which English merchants and jouruals are now indulging. During this unprecedented march, alone and among savages, to whom a white face wasa miracle, Dr. Livingstone was compelled to struggle through indescribable hardships. The bos. tility of the natives he conquered by his intimate knowledge of their character and the Bechuana tongue to which theirs isrelated. He waded rivers and slept in the sponge and ooze of marshes, being often so drenched as to be compelled to turn his armpit into a watch pocket. His cattle were destroyed by the terrible tse-tse fly and he was too poor to purchase a canoe. Lions were numerous, being worshiped by many of the tribes as the receptacles of the the departed souls of their chiefs; dangerous, too, as his . crushed arm testifies. However he thinks the fear of African wild beasts greater in England than in Africa. Many of his documents were lost while crossing a river in which he came near losing his life also, but he has memoranda of the latitudes and longitudes of a multitude of cities, towns, rivers and mountains, which . will go far to fill up the “unknown region” in . our atlasses, Toward the interior he found the country more fertile and more populous worsh'ped idols, believed in transmigrated existence after deaih, and performed religious ceremonies in groves and woods. They were less ferocious and suspicious than sea-board tribes, had a tradition of the deluge and more settled governments. Some of them practiced inoculation, and used quinine, and all were eager for trade, being eatirely dependent on English calico for clothing, a small piece of which would purchase a slave. Their language was sweet aad expressive. Although their women, on the whole, were not well treated. a mao having as many wives ashe chose, they were complete mistresses of their own houscs and gardens which the husband dared not enter in his wife’s absence. They were fond of show and glitter, and as much as $150 had been given for an English rifle. On the arid plateau of the interior water-melons supplied the place of water for some months of the year, as they do on the plains of Hungary in summer. A Quaker tribe on the river Zanga, never fight, never have consumption, scrofola, hydrophobia, cholera, smallpox or measles, These advantages, however. ous devotion to trade and raising children to make good their loss from the frequent inroads of their fighting neighbors. Dr. Livingstone’s discoveries, in their character and commercial value, have been declared by Sir Roderic Murchison to be superior to an since the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope by Vasco de Gama. But greeter than any commercial value is the lesson which they teach— that all obstacles yield to a resolute man,—N. Y. Tribune. Damascus THE OLprst City 1x THE Worwp.-The oldest city in the world, unlike most other aucieut cities, its prosperity has been comparatively uninterrupted. The waves of many wars have rolled over it; the city and the plain have often been deluged with blood; but the traces of war and pillage bave never long remained. The course of its history has been even. It has rarely been the seat of a mighty empire; but rather the head of a petty kingdom or of a subordinate province. Bente, though an oriental city, it has never equalled a Ninevah or a Babylon in the greatness of its power or the gran deur of its edifices; nor does it now resemble them in the depths of their fall or the extent of their ruins, It has flourished, while they have fallen; and even now it continues to flourish amid all the neglect and oppression of Turkish misrule.—Dr. Robinson’s Later Recorder. The Rochester American tells a story of a lady in that city whose dress was stepped upon by a partner in a dance. The skirt was torn, and a whalebone thrust into the circle in a very unseemly manner. The lady coolly took bold of the article, drew it from her. walked to the door, and threw it out, and took her place in the cotillon justin time to “forward and back.’’? That lady would walk up to the cannon’s mouth, or the altar, without fear of trembling.
