A HIDEOUS TOLL-GATHERER, In the year ] S."i7, I was mate of tbe ship Ellen Bird, ; iien making her tliird voyage. - it vras ru tho paimy days of the sand sl-wood and beeswax trade, and we were at the Island of Timor, an­ chored at Delhi liaven, taking in a cargo. Sandal-wood, so valuable because of its enduring perfume for the manufact­ ure of fancy work-boxes, desks and cabinets, could, at that time, be obtained in considerable quantities in Timor. It grows there as a small timber tree among the mountains of the interior. The natives are hired to take it to the harbor in small logs, carried on the shoulders of two or three men walking together, or upon the backs of their tamed ponies. While slowly taking in this part off our cargo, log by log, I, as mate of the vessel, was dispatched on a trip inland, to hasten the collection of beeswax. Three of the seamen accompanied me. Some twenty natives of the island also went with us to take up the wild bees' nests, and these were to be paid in goods at t<he cressel for all .the wax they might gather. For over a week we slept in two bam­ boo huts set up oa posts, with thatched roofs, at a place the natives called the Dardees, twenty or twenty-live miles back from Delhi., Dardee is the Timorese name for a 'very curious tree, the roots ©f which rise out of the ground in a tangled, compli­ cated pyramid to the height of sixty, and "even eighty, feet. It is at the top of this vast mass that the real trunk of the trees begins, branching out above in a top almost as thick and extensive as the root. Often these wide-spread and thickly-woven dardee roots inclose an open space at t,l:'Mr center, where one may stand directly beneath the great trunk overhead. These root systems are not infrequently thirty^ forty and even fifty feet in diameter, %xkibiting a .singularly-grotesque, gnarled appear­ ance.; and where a:forest of them stand moderately close together they present to the eve a most bewildering maze. But tiie forests «f [Timor are, as a rule, l>y no means dense. Open plats, full of rank, coarse grass anil flowers, alternate with the groves of larger trees ; and the whole 'country round about the -huts, where v-e spend our .nights, was one great natural apiary. The huts, in 4aet, wore built by bee-hutters, who each year visit the district te get honey and wax. Much «*s has been said and written concerning bees, I think -the reader will vet limi something novel in a* brief de­ scription of the wild bees of Timor, and the old method by which the natives capture them. These %>««« (the apie dorsata) de not, like the wild bees of America and other countries, build their nests m hoUow trees, or <clefts in the j crags. I was astonished to jsee hanging : to the lower *sde of some stout branch, far up in the lops of the loftiest trees, a great cone of honeycomb, often four feet in diameter bj five feet in length. These combs are so piled and covered an as to resist the weather completely, anil are cemented to the branch with a chick, glutinous stump of very tough •sd' compact wax I <estim&fod the weight of some oi these large caeubs at 3(«1 pounds. Dtiring the week we were in the for­ est, vre took, I should think, nearly 500 of these honey-cones. The honey, save what we could eat with our food, WAS of no use to us, and I have little doubt that 30,000 or 40,000 pounds of honey were dfstroved by us in that one week : for the wax was ail that we cared to take. The first time I saw the natives take a bees' nest, I thought their method of doing it as curious as the nest itself was odd. This peculiar ne6t hung from a limb of a tall, straight, smooth-barked eucalyptus tree, seventy five feet from the ground. The trunk of the tree was a yard or more in diameter. T> cut it down would have been several hours' work, even for an experienced woods­ man ; while to climb it, after the ordi­ nary fashion, would have been out of the auestion. This is the way Benn, one of le Timor men, set to work. First, he took from his bundle a torch of some resinous wood and lighted it. This torch he attached to his waist-cloth, or girdle, by means of a string some ten feet long, so that as he climbed up, the slowly-burning, but densely smoking, torch would hang beneath him. To his girdle was also hung a chopping-knife, for cutting cfi" the t-omb from the branchy and a long line, in a coil, for lowering it the ground. Fola, another of the men, now brougk* him a «troBg bush rope, ,>r e squad climb up for nests in way. It was their custoinarv creeper, Borne twenty feet long, green and pliable, and freshly cut from a thicket. Benu first passed one end of this creeper round the trunk of the tree, then grasping an end in each hand, leaned back, and, setting his feet agiuust the trunk, he began to walk up the tree, holding fast by the bush rope and throw i a g it up, by a quick jerk, after every second step. It was woiider.ul to note the skill with which he took advantage of the least roughness or scar in the ivt.k to get a hold for the loop, or for li ~ fe. t. He was not much more than a minute going up sixty feet. All this time he was almost enveloped in a cloud of smoke from the torch, which seamed to nrevent the liees from settling upon his body, which, but for liis wai3t-cloth, was en­ tirely bare and exposed to their stings. Arriving directly beneath the limb to which the comb was suspended, by a dexterous spring he threw himself partly over it, then, drawing up his torch so that its smoke completely enveloped his body, he rested for some moments before creeping out on the branch to cut off the comb. Thousands of bees were flying about him, and thousands more were clinging in black masses to the out- •ide of the comb. But, upon Benu's holding out the torch beneath it, tiiev all rose in a dense cloud, filling She forest with their deep, solemn hum. Defended by the smoke, Benu had, in a moment or two more, made a double noose of his smaller line round the comb; and then, with a few deft Cuts irom his chopper, he cleaved off the corah from the limb, and lowered it unl.i' • U-<'u to the ground. In three minutes - lie had walked down the tree, much, as he had walked .up, and stood among us, none the worse, for his exploit with the exception of a few stings. Afterward, I repeatedly saw Fola, Amine, Motu'.eet and a dozen others of our native the same method. Nothing would have induced me to attempt such a feat; nor could any of our sailors be induced or cajoled into attempting it. A little way out from our huts, on the farther side," ami just beyond the throe dardee trees, thero was a rocky gully or gulch, twenty-live or thirty feet in depth, and from forty to fifty feet wide. So steep were its sides, and so tangled with creepers and vines, that to cross it we should have been forced to make a long detour, either below or above, had it not been for a bridge, which nature had provided in the shape of a tree which had fallen across the ravine, spanning it completely from bank to bank. ® It had been a very large, old tree. The shattered top lay on the side next our huts ; and the ends were over­ run by a luxuriant wild grape-vine, loaded down with clusters of grapes, the outer skins of which were covered with hair ! But their flavor was deli­ cious, though on» first putting one in your mouth the hair gave you a very pe­ culiar sensation. Winding through the top of the tree with the vine, thure was a beautiful crown-lily, displaying its glorious festoons of blossoms side by side with the strange hairy grape clus­ ters, so that a most singular and gor­ geous effect was produced. The trunk of the tree, which was at least four feet in diameter, offered a perfectly safe bridge across the gully; and for the first, four days we were constantly going back and forth on it. It had evidently been used for this purpose, either by men or wild animals, long before our arrival, for the log was worn smooth, apparently by the many feet that had passed and repassed on it. Though still tolerably sound and strong, the log was plainly a hollow one, and out near the middle of it there was a hole on the upper side. I noticed this hole the first time I went across, and thought what an ugly thing it would be to step into it when crossing with a load. It must have been not far from a foot and a half in diameter. Several tineas, while wait ing over this log, I noticed a strange, sickening odor coming from it, which, though faint, was very nauseating, and once, when standing stiii for a moment, looking down into the gnlly beneath it, I saw some bunches of what appeared to be bones wadded .together. There were a good many of .these lying there among the rank grass, and I concluded that a number of animals had died or been killed there, andsthat the peculiar odor came from these. The fourth evcivx-g we were (H. IV, just at sunset, when the natives were coming from bee-hunting, each w ith his great sack'of mashed comb on hishftad, I sud­ denly heard a fearful outcry in the di­ rection of this gully. "Some of 'em have tumbled tsff'n that log !" Myers, one of the sailors with me, called.out, and we all ran from the hut wlKflfe we were eating supper, .to see what had caused so dreadful a shriek. On-coming in sight of the log that spanned the ravine, a -strange spectacle presented itself. D&ngling frt-aoi the under aide of the log. struggiiug and shrieking, hung one of the natives--a brother .of Benu, naanod Or ti. Ai the same irwtant I perceived the folds of a monstrous, mottled snake, rising in great loops above the log, and heard a native, who was standing at the farther end of the log, screaming: " Ular le- haif IT tar fchai!" (Greait snako ! Great snake!) " Tasahu! twctfui! " (Help ! help !) "Come forth, white chicf, witi; | your tire gun ! " < Without waiting to get my gnn, io* poor Oati's shrieks were a>vful to hear, I seized a large handspike lyh;p|near,|and, dashing out en the io^, delivered two • iieavy blows upon the serpent's writhing : folds, either -tf which, I feel certain, would have broken an ox's back. Feel­ ing these, the moustcr dropped Oati, i whom it had'-seized by the thigh in its , mouth and was holding up by main i strength, and, searing its huge, flat- ' t«iied head six or seven feet above the log, looked me full in the face, its great ; eves .dilated with fury and its tongue licking the air with a strange, kissing • sound. i It was a sight to startle the bsav^et of men. I struck at its head and leaped ' backward on the log, but lost my &>ot- j ing when close to the bank of the guUy, and, slipping off the tree-trunk, weot tearing down through the vines to the I bottom. The fall did not hurt me : much, but I was snarled up in the j vines, and it was some moments before I j could struggle out, or even clear away i the foliage sufficiently to see whether j the great snake was after me or not. I ) could hear a tremendous shouting and I noise, however, and soon the reports of ; several guns. ) The moment I got clear of the lianas, \ I ran through the bushes and grass, | down the bed of the cully : and here I j came upon Oati, crawling off on his I hands and knees. His thigh was bleed- j ing profusely from several deep, ugly- looking holes, and his ankle was out of I joint from the fall. There was so savage a battle going ! on above us, that my shouts for assist- | a nee were unnoticed. After several ef- | forts I succeeded in throwing Oati's an- j kle-joint back iDto place; and then, bind- j ing up his leg as best I could, helped j him along to a place where it was yogsi- I ble for us to climb out. But altogether this had occupied fif­ teen or twenty minutes; so that the fight which Myers and Benu Amme, Fola and the rest were making with the U'lar te- hai was now for the most part over. The shots had driven the serpent back into the log; whence, according to Oati, it had darted its head out to seize him as he walked across. Myers was now watching for it--firing whenever it thrust its head out from the hole. He said that he had put two balls clean through its body before it had com­ menced to slide back into its retreat. Benu now brought an ax, and, in the course of an hour, the great log was cut off, close to the bank, aud fell down with a loud crash--one end of it--into the gully. It split as it fell, and the body of the python was thrown partly Tbe Aold Fiddle. At fc banquet held in Huron, Canada, Mr. James Dickson, a Scotch emigrant, narrated the following touching reminis­ cence of " Auld Scotia It is now forty-eight years since I first came to this country. I was then little more than a boy, fresh from Edinburgh University, and had or,me with my father to bear the trials and privations of early pioneer life in the backwoods. My mother and other members of our family were in the old land, and an ocean and a wilderness lay between them and us.

The (ilnttonous Laps* Laplanders are blessed with very hearty appetites. The peasant of that country is said to consume ten times more flesh than the natives of Sweden. A deer is just enough to last a family of four one week, and Yon Bucli, the trav­ eler, says: "I have seen reindeer flesh cooked in the huts for the whole family in large iron kettles; when cooked, the meat was immediately torn asunder by the master of the house, with his fingers, and the eagerness with which aacli of the in­ mates received a share, and strove, as if fc>r a wager, to tew it with his hands and teeth, is almost incredible. When the He*h is devoured, broth in which it waa "boiled is mixed with the reindeer milk and taken with the same avidity." THE Des Moines (Iowa) Tri-Weekly Tribune, says: "A Harrisburg (Pa.) journal mentions .-that Mr. D. Beneinger, No. 4 Market Square, that city, was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of a violent attack of rheuma­ tism. _ . : _ ,r ... , j . THE British custom of locking the doors of railway carriages lias been de­ fended on the ground that the safety of the passengers was thereby insured. This might be regarded as a wise pre­ caution in the far West of America, whero the eccentric train robber is in the habit of offering to trade a wild flight into the uncertain realms of eter­ nity for a refusal ou the part of the pas­ senger to endow him with all the loose change he happens to have not left at home, but in staid old England the cus­ tom seems to be a useless and really dangerous one. Four railway com­ panies in Scotland aud three in England kave abandoned it.

If you want to ac­ complish anything as it should be done, you must go about it coolly, moderately, faithfully, heartily. Hurrying, fretting and fuming and spluttering, will do no good--not in the least. Are great works of men done in a hurry? Not at all. They are the product «f time and pa­ tience--the result of slow, solid develop­ ment. Nothing ought to be dona in a kurry. It is contrary to n&tare, right, justice and common sense. Tour man «f harry is no sort of character at all. Always in eonfusion, loose at every point, unhinged and unjoin ted, blowing and puffing here find there, but all end­ ing in smoke.
