As grass is cut down to clear the road, so will we cut off the i bbeokutans." " The king has great pride in his army, and often - turned to us," says Mr. Forbes,- "as the Amazons went through their- evolutions he ' is proud cf these female guards, ' who in every way rival tyle males."

The great Annual Feast of Dahomey consists of too many ceremonies to he here described. We will, .hoiwever, give a brief description of . one of the `Human. Sacrifices.' A large platform is erected in the centre of the market place.

The sea has not only its mountains, its fot111taaills, and streams, itsy forests with t•l.l�:il peculiar plants, their splen -- dor of colol,'their lovely flower gardens alien extended prairies ; it has its land- scapes, that are mote. splendid and fairy-like than any that are to be seen on the earth. Let .us takes the sea fire garden for example. It grows in such a beautiful form, and its color is so lovely, than those who have seen it growing out 1 ndkr-the water say that itsurpasses their powers of description. The fire gardens at the nottorir of the sea stretch river the pt•airies of the sea, and -climbs up the mountain sides. The are covered over with the I')eauti- fui gold cralored coral Moss..

" - _Secrets of the Death -Bed. It is a fearful thing to wait 'and watch for the approach .of death.; to know that hope is gone, and recovery impossible ; and to sit .and count- the dreary hours through lon,long nighty, =such nights as -only watchers by:•.the bed of- sickness- know.
