It is quite astonishing at how great a distance— as far*, perhaps as tea miles—its flashes will catch the sharp eyes of a Bushman who has learned to know what it is. If the san is down, and this amusement cannot be indulged in, other methods of regaining his comrades will not be left untried. In the first place, from the moment that this Genius finds himself lost (as an Irishman would write it,) ho keeps a careful log, by observing and writing down the directions in whioh he rides, and the time and estimated distances, else he may wander away from all help. His object, if he can retrace his own tracks, is to ride in a circle until the path of the cara▼an is crossed. He calculates coolly how far at the utmost ho can be from his party, and makes this distance the radius of his circle or " castthen if he rides on one side, hoping to obtain some clue, and does not; he will ride back again in a sloping direction, and regain the circle further on. This ia what oar ingenious friend was used to do at " checks" in our " paper-cbases" at school, and it comes quite natural to him, He will even reoognize bis bearings by the sand, which runs in a pretty fixed direction, owing to the prevalence of a particular wind; by the wind itself, if it happen to be blowing ; or by the stars— although they are the most difficult guides of all »a*e *t dessert, when they amine the ehiU dren bj cutting pigs in the most ingenious and (to nie) iuimitable manner oat pf orange-peel.

The Five Cradles.—A man who had recently became a rotary to Baoehna, returned home one night in an intermediate state of booiineu. That is to say, ha wai comfortably drank, but perfectly conscious of his no fortunate situation. Knowing tbat his wife was asleep, he decided to attempt gaining his bed without disturbing her, and by sleeping off his inebriation, conceal the fact from her altogether. Ho reached the door of bis room withont disturbing her, and after ruminating a few momenta on the matter, he thought if he could reach the bed-post, and hold on to it while he slipped off his apparel the feat would be easily accomplished. Unfortunately for his scheme, a cradle stood in a direct line with the bed-post, about the middle of the floor. Of course, when hie shins came in contaot with the aforesaid piece of furniture, he pitched over it with perfeot looseness; and upon gaining an erect position, ere an equilibrium waa established, he went over it baokwards, in an equally summary manner. Again he struggled to his feet, and beot foremost over the bower of infant happiness. At length, with the fifth fall, his patienee became exhausted, and the obstaole waa yet to be overcome. In desperation he oried out to his sleeping partner: " Wife I wife ! how many cradles hare you got in the house ? I've fallen over five, and here's another before me 1" OONFECTIONERIK8.

Advick to a Young Lawyer.—Tha following is the advice of an examining judge to a young lawyer, on admission : "Sir, it would be idle to trouble you farther. You are perfect; and I will diamiss you with a few words of advice, which you will do very well to follow. You will find it laid down as a maxim of civil law never to kiss the maid when yon can kiss the mistress. Carry out thia principle, sir, and you are safe. Never say 'boo' to a goose when she has the- power to lay golden egg»- Let your face be long, your bills longer. Never put your band in your pocket when anybody's else is handy.—. Keep your oooscienoe for your own private use, and don't trouble it with other men's matters. Plaster the judge and butter thu jury. Look as wise as an owl, and be a# oracular as a town clook. But above all, get money; honestly if you can, mj de ar sir, but get money. I welcome you to the bar." Again, it is probable intense thirst will soon make itself felt. I should myself long for hock and soda-water, and vainly regret that I ever left my olub in Pall Mall; but our solitary friend indulge! in no such idle repinings, but steadily watches the evening flight of birds, which his experience of natural history tell him are sure guides to where water is. If a shower falls, while I stand with my month open catching but a teaspoonful, my born Robinson Crusoe stiips his clothes off, and makes a reservoir of them ; and, moreover, he knows that even to stand stripped in a shower of rain—a thing which mere conventional terror of the polioe would never suffer me to do—is itself a great satisfier of thirst. Then for eating: chops and potatoes, of course, are unprocurable; b'ut one'a sandals or skin-clothing,are not to be despised when nicely browned, To oook them, however, it is absolutely necessary to procure a light; and here comes in my gentleman of the glow worms. The "common" way (not that 1 should ever think of it) is, it seems, to put a quarter of a charge of powder into one's gun, and above it. quite loosely, a quantity of tinder. But if one has no gun ! Well, then, my Daizler reflects that the object-glass of his telescope is itself a burning glass, and only requires to be unscrewed for use; even his watch-glass, filled with water, will serve the same purpose; nay, the crystal-line lens of a dead animal's eye has lit a fire, and saved a life ere now I (I think I see myselt extracting a dead animal's eye, with the faintest hope of producing such a result!) When that preliminary is accomplished, it is easy for him (but not for everybody) to kindle a spark into a flame by blowing. Suppose, then, our ingenious friend has eatan and drank and warmed himself, how does he procure himself a bed 1 In the desert, there is not much choice of situation j but anywhere else, 1 know what I should do. 1 should look out for a tree, and, in default of a spring-mattress, make myself as much at home, under its protection, as I could. But the-man I despised in my youth does no such foolish thing.— He knows that, as soon as ha lies down, the tree will be worthless as a soreen; it is Large and Well-Selected Stock of JfBBSH SPRING GOODS, Which they are now receiving in store. , c .

As for lights, I might rub all the trees away—hard and soft—in the Tropics before I got a spark out of them ; and as for getting water, unless by lying flat on my stomach, and drinking it out of a river, I should have no idea of how to set abdut it—where to dig, or even how to dig, and much less how to make a spade to dig with, in the first place.
