LANGALULA. Langalula- was a great chief. The people he ruled were numerous and warlike; his assegais were 10.000; his tribe had many cattle. So the missionary at his kraal was glad indeed when he feit he had touched Langalula's heart, for it meant the conver- sion of a whole heathen nation. When the king goes over, the people soon follow him. Langalula said, "I am convinced; baptise me." But the ways of white men are hrompie- lien-sible. Though the missionary had been preaching that very thing for months,, yet I when L .n> „ive in he answered »>oi.-j \1 h 1 h <11 .s 1! ♦ t1tUBli Yf U II Usi u.i i whde tdl lie1 th it 'our b'e show* toitli Mm1 which are meet for lepniliii Langahua, grumbled. He was little accus- tomed to such contradictions. But he knew it. was hard arguing with these .priestly white men. v. ho will bapti-e a starving ^Lve bit as soon .as a great- chief. So he. held Ins peace, Itiolil,h he chafed at it waited the missionary's pleasure. By and bye one day the missionary came to him- "Langalula," he said, condescend- ingly, "I have watched you closely for many, weeks now, and I think I can baptise you. "Then, rny sins .will be- -forgiven ?" asked LangaluJa, 1. "All your. sins will beforgiven," the mis- sionary answered. "But I must put awaCy my wives?" Lan- galula asked once more. "All, save one," answered the missionary. It was a. point-of doctrine. "Then, I think," Langalula said, "I \>vill wait for a. week, so as to make up my mind which one of them is dearest to me. But he said this deceitfully, knowing that all his sins were going to be forgiven, and determining in the interval to marry t :>.»ther wife, whom he would keep a.s his own lie put away the others, for there was a young girl coming on, black, but comely, the daughter of Khamsua, a neigh- bouring chief, whom he wished to purchase. And since th<# 1 t love is always for the moment the greatest the oliief cared very little whether he must put away all his wives or not if only he could ke«i Malah. She had driven out all the rest of them. He had watched the girl growing up at Khamsua's for years, and had said to himself always, "Whenever Malali is of marriageable age see if I do not buy her and marry her." In pursuance of this plan, as soon as the missionary was gone, Langalula rose up and took the fighting men of his tribe with him that there might be no dispute, and marched into the country of Malalt's father, whose name, as I said, was Khamsua-; Wfter .Khamsua heard Langalula was on his way to his knd with 5,000 assegais, not to speak of the Winchester rifles, he went out to meet him with; a great retinue. Khamsua cringed. Langalula aaid to him. I I am, come to ask- tor Malali. Th" moment Khamsua heard that he was unspettkahly terrified, and flung himself dovrn on his face and clasped Langalub's knees.1 for Khamsua was only a small chief in the up'1I\ compared with Langalula. I "0.. my king," Khamsua-said, "0, li'on of the people., I did not know so great a monarch as you had set his eyes on Malali, and before you asked. Montelo's people came and offered oxen on Montelo's behalf for MpJali, and I sold her to them because I was afraid of Mon- telo and could not have''believed so great achié as you had ever looked uponijier." Langalula. smiled at that. "Oh, as for Monteio.' L-e said, "I can easily take her from him, and then I can get the missionary to marry us." Ito gliever ajiswered like a fool. "It cannot be; The Christians are so -ian straight-laced. Montello is a Chrtatian QOW. H" was baptised a week ago, and Malkli was married to him in Christian fashion, Even if you were to kill Montelo and take her to your kraal I don't believe the mis- sionary would marrv yoU," Langalula turned to his men. "Kill him," he said, simply. And they killed him with an assegai. As soon as that wa.s finished Langalula marched on into Montelo's country. When j he arrived there. Montelo crept out to meet him and tried to parley with him. But Lan- galula would not parley with the man who had deprived him of Malali. s > j "We. yyill fieht for -it." he said, Etngt#1^^ And thev foiudit for if then and there. ?i.d the u;>dio[ (if it all was that Langalula's 'U,E:I L< T'IP.->red in the b..tile and drove Mon- 'telo's men, who had a t Win chesty, back 1 to flie/r king's krail, and then killed "iXojI- iulo him^ 'h and "arri .d his hw.H on an J j By tl;e wry same evening ijiey cci.upied' I

Mary Anne Carney, was examined relative to I the ideas she entertained of an oath and the consequence that would result from telling a falsehood. The answer which she returned was, that if she told a, falsehood while on oath, she should be put on the pillory in this world and go to the devil in the next. She heard her mother ask her father if she should dress some cauliflower for dinner. Her father swore ¡ terribly; then got up, and knocked her down with a severe blow on the nose. The witness said that she then went to fetch a constable, and when' she came back her mother was lying upon the floor.

the kraal that had once been Montelo's, and Lagalula's men brought out Malali to their own leader. Langalula looked hard at her. She was a glossy black girl, very smooth skinned and lithe and clean of limb. The great oliief stared lonf at her. Malali hung her head, and dropped her arms before j]L" "Why did you go with Montelo ?" lie asked at last, "when Langalula would have taken you." The giil trembled with fear. It wa.s no fault of hers. How could she help it ? A woman there is no free agent. "My father sold me," she answered, whimpering. lyion- telo paid him a great many oxen. I had no choice but to go. 0, king. 0, mighty lion, I did not know you wanted me." With that she hung herself at his feet in terror and held his knees, imploring him. "Take her to the hut that was once Mon- telo's," said the chief, smiling. "I will fol- low her there." They seized her arms and dragged her to the hut, crying and shrieking as she went. They dragged her roughly. Langalula re- mained behind superintending the slaughter of Montelo's warriors. As soon as he waa tired lie returned to the hut that had once been Montelo's, for he wished to see Matait —whether she was really as beautiful as he believed, even though the missionary would never marry him to her Malali, when she saw him, thought all was well, a,nd that Langalula loved her, so she left off crying and tried every art a woman knows to please and charm him. But Langalula. was a very great king, and his anger was aroused. A king's anger it terrible. He smiled to himself to see with what, simple tricks the woman thought &h« could appease, a mighty warrior. The morning came, and he cried to him- self with annoyance and vexatiolT/rhat Mon- telo and Khamsua, and the missionary as ne well, should have done him between them out of so beautiful a woman. If the mis- sionary had been a black man, Langalula would have compelled him to baptise him outright, and then to marrv him properly to Malali with book and ring in the Christian Ms1- 11 feat. bjt extisiience it's no use threateninc these white men with tor- tures, for threaten how you Uiay they ■ "t nor -a ;ihi -v,nd troops from Cape Towri. and.
