There is no part of the World so
interesting to Christendom as the
continent of Africa now is. Dr.
Livingstone, Barlli, Camming, 1)11-
Chaillu, and others had given it a
peculiar interest already, il-hen the
wonderful expedition Vi)f tk^'X'ew
York '•Herald," under UpTry M.
Siauuley, and its fairly marvelous
success, gave to the topic the at-
tention of all men cvery¿¡¿
Here Avas a success of tel
and of the press, superior' tO^he
power of one of the most jiov^fnl
and wealthy governments, a
demonstration ofmodern progreso-,
impossi I ill.* io ganisav. '
At this time, therefore, the desi^
to know as much of Africa .is can j
he known, is very general, if not
universal among intelligent people.
'To supply this demand for knowl-
edge, the Union Publishing Com-
pany, of Chicago, have jus® is>tied
a volume "EXPLORATIONS IN
AFRICA,*' which, as we judge
from advance sheets that we have
had the pleasure of seeing, will he
and deserves to |>(>, unustiajfc' and
uncommonly popular.,, TIM hook
•■and
with sketches of the- live^of the
most noted African travelefs-r-dc-
sciiptions oflhe remarkable coun-
try. animals, vegetation, rivers,
lakes, etc., etc., of a con! inent so
long unknown; with Dr. Living-j
stone's own account, remarkably j
graphic, of his discovery oflhe true
sources of the Nile*; and Stanley's
full description of the singular
•• Land of the Moon" in Equatorial
Africa. With all this, th e book
gives an amount of interesting
matter and information, leaving
nothing to be desired by llni.se who
want: to know all about this por- ¡
I ion of the gl ibe.

seníeiice—transposes the word, and
deplores the days that are few and
evil in the next. A poor jest ticks
its way slowly in lo the printer's
hands, like a clock just running
down, and a strain of eloquence
marches into line letter by letter.

Fjut
type that told
i wedding yesterday, announces
e^burial to-day—perhaps the very
same letters. They are the ele-
ments to make a world of—those
types are a world with something in
it as beautiful as Spring, as rich as
Summer, and as grand as Autumn,
tlovvers that, frost cannot wilt; fruit
that shall ripen for all time. The
newspaper has become tlm log-book
of the age. It tells at whale rate
the world is running; we cannot
lind our "reckoning"' without it.
True, the greeu-grocer may bundle
up a pound of candles in our last
expressed thoughts, but it is only
coming to baseness, something that
is done times innumerable We
console ourselves by thinking that
one can make of the newspaper
what he cannot make of oaks—a
bridge for time, that lie can Hing
over the chasm of the dead years
and walk safely upon the shadowy
sea into the fust past. The singer
shall not end his song, tho' the
soul be eloquent no more. The
realm of the press is enchanted
ground. Sometimes the editor has
the happiness of knowing that he
has defended right, exposed the
wrong, protected the weak, and
that lie has given utterance toa
itimcnt that has cheered some-
'dy's lonely hour, made somebody
"happier, kindled a smile upon a sad
face, or hope in a heavy heart. He
*"iay meet with that sentiment,
many years afrcr; it may have lost
all charms of its paternity, but he
ó-e-á an alfection for it. He wel-
comes it as an absent child, lie
reads it as for the first time, and
wonders if. indeed, lie wrote it; for
lie has changed since then. Per-
haps he could not give utterance
to the sentiment now, perhaps lie
would not if he could. It seems
like tlie voice of his former self
calling to his parents, and there is
something mournful in his tone.
He begins to think—to remember
why he wrote it, who w . revis read-
ers then, and whither they have
gone—what lie was then, and how
muelihelias changed.

whether lie is looking upon some-
thing t hat will survive h i in. And
then comes the sweet coneiousness
that tln-re is nothing in the sen-
tence that he could wish unwritten
—t hat it is a better part of hint—
a shred from the garment of im-
mortality he shall leave behind
him when lie joins I In- ••innumer-

comes the word. Part of the wed
always consisted of a ring, placed
upon the maiden's right hand, and
there religiously kept until trans-
ferred to the other huml at the hit-
ter's nuptials. Then, also, were
repeated the marriage vows and
oilier ceremonies, out of which
those-now prevailing have giown.
i he bride was taken "for fairer, for
fouler, for better, for worse, for
richer, for poorer,'' and promised
to be "buxom and bonny" to her
future husband. At the'endof the
li Hill ceremony, the-father of the
bride gave to his new son one of
his daughter's shoes, in token of
the transfer of authority which lie
effected, and the bride was at once
made to feel the change by a tap or
blow on the head giren with the
shoe. Rather a forcible earnest of
future happiness, one would imag-
ine. However, the husband took
an oath to use his wife well. If he
failed to do so, she might leave
him, but by law he was allowed
considerable license. He was
bound in honor to "bestow on his
wife and his apprentices moderate
castigation." We have nothing to
show what amount of castigation
was held moderate to the Anglo-
Saxon ; hut one old Welsh law
decided that three blows with a
broomstick "on any part of the
person, except the head," is a fair
alio.vanee, and another provides
that the stick be no longer than
the husband's arm, nor thicker
than his middle finger. Prior to
the seventh century a wife might
at any time he repudiated on proof
of her either being barren, deform-
ed, silly, passionate, rude habitual-
ly drunk, gluttonous, very garru-
lous, quarrelsome or very abusive.
A learned Swiss writer Jean ( de
.M tiller) was deeply engaged in his-
torical studies at (.'asset, m the Year
1 x;->. Indefatigable in research, he
wrote to his friend, ( liarles 1 >011 net.
that lie had studied all the ancient
authors, without one e.xc -piion, in j
the order of time in which they!
lived, and had not omit ted to take
mile of a single remarkable la -t.
Among other works, it occurred to
him to glance at th-1 New iesta-
nieu'. and give in his own words
I he impression it produced upon
him :

DO IT NOW,
Don't live a single hour of yoiif

Work, play, study, whatever it is—•*
take hold at once and finish it up
squarely and cleanly; and then to
