She was an affectionate daughter, a tender mother, and all that is compre hended in the word wilt*. She had a fine mind, well cultivated and polished. She was always cheerful and hopeful, friendly in all the relations of life, and was worthy to he loved. Fjr a long time sho was afflicted with a diserfse which chattered her nerves, made her less calm in dtffi ouities than sho desired, and finally terminated her life. Her evidence of change of heart was clear, yet in all her Christian life she was too modest, and felt too much reverence for sacred things, to make loud protestations of piety. Some weeks previous to her death she felt sho was not discharging her whole religious duty with reference to thd training of her children, ahd was trying to amend, but death came too soot to accomplish her desires. From Hie nature of her illness she was prevented fr.-iu testifying as to her feel ings and hopes with reference to eternity, but simply expressed no dread of the coffin and the grave, and went out with feeble hut trusting heart. Hers was not the boasting prayer of the righteous Pharisee, but the penitent petition of the contrite Publican, who went down justi fied. Save her life, she left no token hut some memoranda of her feelings and desires, n ade a shot t while alter uniting with the church. God pity her dis consolate husband and children, left without her kindly benedictions, and answer all her prayers, so feelingly offered for him and them. “In truth this one, that with us tr^wl This planet, whs a noble type, A|-uri t rtt the time* were ripe.

There ate several strong stories in is, be sides the absorbing sotials by Christian Reid and Helen Mather. The general character of the contents is such as shows that the Magazine is raising its literary standard, at the same time that it is mak ing other notable improvements. “Lest in the Frozen North,” a record of lit)gon the Polar Sea, is a very powerful story, which has additional interest on account of its association with tho famous Arctic expedition. Midshipman gives in it a thrilling glimpse of his expeiience in the realm of the lee Ivittg, and has woven into his narrative a charming little story, founded largely on fact. Sirs. X. Shefiey Haller gives us this month the opeuing chapters of “Your Love, or My Life,’’ a story full of bright description, sponta neous humor, and graceful romance. “He laughs test who laughs last,” by Annabel C.

SIfiUTS ON A SOUTH SEA ISLAND. Teetec Ilouhon, from tho South Sea Inland, says ; "I uiyselt, before I was converted to Christianity and bad min gled with Fluropeans, bad eaten human flesh, and relished it, too. Why, even now it requires all my resolution when the craving comes upon me to resist knocking down every plump maiden 1 see and proceeding to bake or boil her. When Fijians want to build a temple or boat, or at the launching of a canoe, chiefs have been known to kill several men for rollers, so that ti e canoe could be more reodily launched, aud the rollers were afterward cooked and eaten. There was one chief who killed a man for the keel and one for every plank that was put in. nnd they were eaten as food fur the carpenters. They used to have an other custom —thut of murdering men to wash the deck of tho canoe with fresh blood, but the missionaries have induced the natives to coa e the practice. At a battle once at Moourna the supply of prisoners was greater than the warriors could cou-utuc, so they were piled up between two coeoanut trees, and it took two days to cook them, 'i be valekaruea or trunk, was thrown away, as rt would not keep. lo 1851, sf) bodies were cooked at one time at Matuena. The heads, hands and intestines were thrown away on that occasion, but in times of great scarcity there i no waste. “When the bodies are being arranged for the oven they have a peculiar beating of tho drum. One of the natives strikes the water wilh a pole in a manner that is understood to mean that they have a hakolo, or oorpso, to eat. When they get near to shore they begin their war dance, and the women on shore respond. When the boat lands the body is drag ged ashore by a vine attached to tho left hand. Then it is dragged by two men to the town, while the rest go in front brandishing their weapons, throwing (heir clubs ah ft an I singing their weird and shrill songs. The body is dragged to the chief, who directs the chief priest to offer it to the war god. Then the body is taken to the oven and carved. The carving instrument is a slit ham bon, aid the several members are cut off joint by joint. A long, deep ga.h is na le down the abdomen and all around the neck to the boue, and the head is quickly twist ed off. It is not often that bodies are baked whole, hut when it is covered with a black powder, the body having been placed in a silling posture. When it is boiled the flesh is taken from the bones. “When I was a hoy, Loti, a chief, killed hi* wile and ale Iter. Sho went with him to plant taro, and when the work was dono he *ent her to gather wood to make a lire and eollect leaves tu line the oven with, and to procure a bam boo to cut up what was to lie eaten.
