I could name a large catalogue of them, whose presence I have detected at various times, But one there is, so busy, and yet so lazy--so unprinci- pled, and yet assuming such airs of conscience--so wanton, with yet the pretence of good heed, that I am out of all patience with him.

A gentleman connected - with the 'Abyssinian expedition, writing under date of Antola, March 29, gives the following of an i ti discovery of art, illustrating remark. able events 1n sacred history:-- ' About a mile from the camp of Attegeiat is a native--half Jewish, ball Christian--chuich, well worth going to see, it is u sort of irregular square building, rather dilapidated. The fitsg thing that strikes you is an open court round three parts of it, evidently in imitation of 'the * Court Moses; then there is the cliurch pro- per, and within again is the inner sanctuary, or holy of holies. But it is the fresco paintings which form the great curiosity "of the place. They are said to be the work of a youth, a aative of Gondar, and are most remarkable and striking illus- tations of the principal évents in the Old and New Testaments. On one hand yon have Pharoah's army cross ing the Red Sea, and the horror and alarm depicted in their faces as the water gains on them are vivid as life, while, on the bank, Moses stands waving a rod, and grinning down ou the Egyptians. Ou the other you have the Virgin Mary and Saviour; Christ instituting the last sapper; the body of John the Baptisti--bhis RZ it done in as good style, and on pu; on-liand a good assortment of ice pi CLOTHS, TWEEDS, FLANNELS, &c., ec.

YOUNG. |yg beh redde Bethe keys in iho area door, ready for tiie theif's haud; that devoured fabulous quantities of tea and sugar, that took my fine hand- kerchicfs ; that broke all my china which I found stowed in a barrel down cellar! It"was Nobody that left her work in my sitting chair, with the needle lying in ambush for me; but I as- sure you it was zot Nobody that jumped up quicker than he sat down; that was I. I have ofted watched for this No- body, and should I ever catch him, without jndge or jury, I will work him such harm as shall be an ex- ample to all miscreants! But how many nameless other dis- guises has this arch spirit of Care- lessuess put on! It is 'my opinion that worse harm has come to busi- ness by reason of Carelessness than by the instrumentality of all theives, swindlers and counterfeiters together It is a universal enemy. In spite of its fair face, and silver specch of ex- cuse, every man's hand should be ruthlessly against it. Carelessness is permitted to do mischief, which performed intentionally, would be deemed crime. It is a pick-pocket, and yet keeps respectable society.-- If not a burglar, itisa house de- stroyer. It strips off the shingles, itdrops the clapboards, it breaks the window panes, it tedrs the clothes, moulds 'sour bread, burns the meat, wipes my mouth with soiled napkins, feeds me with unscoured kuives. It founders my horse, batters my car-- riage, saws my wood a foot too long for the stove, digs: my borders too early, und destroys balf of my un- sprouted treasures. I am pestered and tormented with Careclessness -- an atrocious criminal, whom no one can arrest, whom no one can con- vict, the only one that I know of in the world that has a chartered 1ight to commit every conceivable wrong without criminality, and to make every human being uncomfortable without lusing a respectable position in society. $e * Men seemed disposed to make a demi-god of this invisible spirit, and to bear it about as a/sort of imper~ sonal second self, on whom they lay all blame for their own misdeeds. Important letters are not written and the suit goes wrong, ' Ab,' said the man, 'Carelessness I" With a cheery voice you ask a man after his wife's health whose funeral you at- tended last week.

These natives seemed to me to grasp no more of the Scriptures than the historical portions,' "Love's Blind, They Say." An English divine, owed his mar-- riage, and a long and happy domestic life, a cotemporary states, to a mere accident. He had contracted an af- fection for a lady of the neighborhood in which he first preached, bat, through dread of a refusal, could not bring himself to the point of a direct proposal.--The more he thought of it the more he became dismayed at the prospect. He was not of that kind of a man who can quickly in- terpret a woman's feelings from her looks and manner, but was overcome with fear that she could never love bim. He bad almost resolved to abandon the field to a bolder, if not a better man when be suddenly took a desperate resolution to know the worst. He carefully prepared and sealed two letters, each addressed to the lady; in one of which he made an earnest proposal of marriage, and in the other merely requesting the loan of a book.-~Shaking them together in his hat, he called his servant and bade him take one and deliver it. "Which one?' asked the servant. ¢ Either,' was the reply, and the man took one at random, and departed. The minister threw the other into the fire without examining it, and for the next hour paced the floor of his study, unXious and miscrable.-- He had resolved fo abide by the event of this queer proceeding, and that if the book cime with the ser-- vant, he would forever abandon all aspirations to the lady's hand. At the end of the time the man returned with a note, accepting his offer, and inviting him to tea. The overjoyed young men told his little experiment to his betrotbed over a cup of tea that evening, and was soundly rated for his dullness in not comprehending the 'signals of distress' which had been continually displayed to him from time to time. But some men are wonderfully stupid about these matters. -------- ¢ Dds the dentist kiss you when he pulls your teeth pa?

Many of their verses--particularly those used in weeping [or the dead, on the miseries of war, or the fate of some renowned chief, and invented from time to time as events suggested them--possess a mournful tenderness and simplicity that is very pleasing. These princi- pally owe their origin to the Gojam- mee, who in disposition,if more false to his master than other Abyssinians --is also of a more thoughtful depth of feeling, as evinced by the numbers who, moved by sorrows for the death of a friend or brother, or excited by: the vivid conception of eternal hap- piness, quit prosperity and wealth for the life of the ascetic; the labori- ous pilgrimage to the tomb of Our Saviour, 'The heroic lay, again, is mostly due to .the Wollo Gallay, where the Mbngerash are indispensi- ble to the establishment of the chief.
