SOUTIIEKN BANNER: AUGUST 6, 1878.
I Woador.
A child ran lunching on the beach,
The t>un shone warm and bright
Upon her waving golden hair,
Her tiny form so slight,
“ 1 wonder why the world’s so fuir,
So full of sun and song,
J wonder why big folks don’t laugh
And play the whole day long.”
A m.tid was walking on the strand,
She gazed far out to sea ;
Where, o’er the sunlit waters rode
A bark so gallantly.
u Ah, love is coining o’er the waves.
Is coming soon to me,
] wonder how, in’ tills sweet world,
Old folks such shadows sec.”
A woman stood upon the j^iore,
Her eves with weeping reA^
Looked sadly on the cruel sea,
That ne’er gives up its dead.
“ I wonder why the world was made
8® dark and fall of care,
No wonder that life's burden scorns
_ Too great for one to bear.”
Near by t’.ie window’s ledge there sat
A grandame, old and gray—
Tiic window looking out to sea
Where ships at anchor lav.
“ I wonder when mine oyos shall see
Life’s ship at anchor lie,
Within God’s harbor peacefully
For all eternity.” ’
“ Where?”
“ I mean no, dear.”
(Desperate*
•y).
“ Did you see that colored lady,
auntie ? She had on a tearful pretty
hat, ever so much pretiiey than yotirs
—I want to go home.”
“ You mustn’t go home; your
mnmma is sick, and you must go with
me.”
“ What makes mamma sick ?”
“ Never mind, she’d bo well again
in a week or two.”
“ But I wa.it to know what makes
her sick ?’’
“ Never mind, dear.” ) i *
“ Why ?”—but just then the boat
swi,mg dip to her pier ajt Slaplctpn,
and the inquisitive young lady
and her submissive aunt disem
barked. ...

A ' SHORT STORY SHOWING WHAT A
ONE-SIDED MAN HEROD WAS. *
[New York World.j
A pretty little girl, five years old,
with one of those sugar-loaf hats
modeled after Fra Dlavolu's in the
play no doubt, came on board the
Staten Island ferry boat Westfield
last evening. In her train was a
weary looking middle-aged ' lady,
whom she treated’with cendcnscension
and called “Auntie.” After the
young lady had found a comfortable
seat in the bow of the boat she al
lowed her aunt to take a camp-stool
near by. When the boat started
she began a systematic method of
torture, to which the middle-aged
lady submitted with wonderful resig
nation.
“ Is that water, auntie?” she asked,
pointing to the bay.
“Yes, dear,” said the weary-look-
ing lady.
“Did the rain make all that
water?’’
“No, darling.”
“ Why didn’t the rain make all
ihat water?”
“Oh, the rain wouldn’t affect it,
\ on know.”
“ Why wouldn’t the rain ’feet
it ?”
“ Oh, you csyijt, understand that
now.” -
“ Why can’t I understand it?’’
“ Never mind; do keep still, that’s
a dear; auntie’s head aches.”
“ What makes your head ache,
auntie ?”
“The heat, I suppose.’’
“ What makes the heat?’’
“ The snn, bf course, dear.”
“ What is the sun ?”
“ You know \\hat the sun is well
enough; I shan’t answer that.’’
The little girl twisted uneasily in
her chair for a moment and then
burnt out with the question :
“ What makes horse’s hones ?’’
“ I don’t know,” 6aid the aunt , in a
despairing tone.
“ I think they’re made out of skin,’’
said the little girl, with an air of
conviction
of skin an’ hair an’ wool an’ ruhbr;
i hat’s what horses’ bones is made out
of.”
“ Yes, dear,’’ said the shameless
woman.
“If my pa gets that bone taken
out of his leg he’ll give me ’is watch.
Would you have a hone taken out of
your leg, auntie ?”
“ You ridiculous child, of course
not.”
“ Why not ?”
“ Oh, keep still.’’
The young woman then got up and
nearly fell over the rail into the
water. The aunt uttered a shriek,
and the writer, much against his will,
rescued the young lady.
“ Thank you, sir,’’ said the aunt.
“What for?” asked the teriiblc
infant.
“ For nothing,” said the rescuer.
“ Auntie, did you ever see a little
dicky bird flirt up its tail and sing?”
•* Yes, dear.”
Up an African River.
In a second letter, dated at Motuo.
via, Mr. Williams, correspondent pi
the Charleston News and Courier,
gives a highly interesting report of an
expedition up the St. Paul’s River
and, some of its tributaries—a long
letter which that paper hastily sum
maries thus: J
Seizing the first opportunity, Mr.
Williams, in a boat-well manned with
Kroomen, started off on an expedi
tion up the St. Paul’s River. The
scenery on Stockton Creek is strange
ly beautiful. How familiar, too, arc
t|to names of the settlements on the
Creek, and on the St. Paul’s. Here
are New Georgia, Caldwell, Lower
and Upper Virginia, Clay-Ashland.
Birds of, gorgeous plumage hover
about the dense vegetation on the
banks The air is rich.. with per
fume. On every side waves the
feathery palm Animals al»omd.
The hippopotamus and the alligator
bask in the mud of the creeks. Deer
are in the coverts. Panthers, por
cupines, squirrels, and many kinds of
monkeys are found iu profusion. In
the vegetable kingdom, the variety of
genus and species is almost infinite.
With the fever plant malarial fever is
cured; the soap-tree furnishes ready
made soap; the tooth-plant supplies
tooth-brushes; the hemorrhage plant
is -a powerful styptic; then come
pepper, ginger, indigo, lye plants, the
eassada, which is a staple article of
food, and the glorious palm, rich in
diverse usefulness, and so highly es
teemed that a heavy fine is imposed
on any one who destroys it. This is
only the beginning. Rice grows
wild, although n^st of the rice used
by the Liberians is imported from
Europe. The coffee trees bear in
the third year, ‘each tree producing
from one to five pounds of berries,
worth 25 cents a pound. One large
tree that was noticed produces from
five to ten pounds. Cotton is not a
plant, but a bush or tree. One cot
ton bush was 8 feet high and 12 feet
broad. It had yielded for nine years,
often twice a year, from 2,000 to
3,000 bolls. No replanting is ne
cessary, except every twelve or fif
teen years. The cotton grows with
out any cultivation. Nor is Liberia
wanting in minerals. Iron ore is
found which gives 85 per cent, of
pure metal.
Nature has done so much for Libe
ria and ntan so little! The houses
are cramped and in bad repair. Li
berians live mainly on canned meats

“ Yes they ’re made out i imported vegetables. Of fruit no
store is kepi. The only means of
travelling on the St. Panl’s is by the
common dug-out. Profitable as is
the culture of the sugar cane, there
are only two or three miles on the
whole river. Mr. Williams saw milk
in but two places..
