THE DORSET COUNTY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETIT, TUESDAY, MAY 13. 18H4

throughout the whole year varies only about twenty
minutes. When we get up we have church first, and
then breakfast at seven o clock. I am living at a
mission house about two miles from the town. It ill •
school for young freed slaves (about 60 of them) black a •
ink, but not at all bad looking. Instead of having
their air cut they have their heads shaved, not with •
razor, but with • phew of broken glass. This keeps
their hair short, which is necessary in this hot climate.
The chief mission hie's., is in Zanzibar, which is a
large place of, perhape, 80,000 people. The church
hel"effiefl to the mission is a very tine one, and anyone
going into it, not knowing whir he was, might fancy
himself in England. They have a very good and well.
behaved choir of black men and boys, who look very
smart in their red cassocks and white surplices. They
sing very well, although, of course, the words at
present sound to me like nonsense, and it will take me
some time to pick up the language. Away out here
the chuch in connection with the mission is nothing
grand, like the one in town. The boys seem to like
going to church, and they all attend morning and
evening every day. Nearly all have learnt to read,
and the biggest of them reads the lomens on a week-
day, and can start the chants and hymns when there
is Home to J.lay the harmonium. We have our noels
in the selevolrnom all together. The boys live chiefly
i.n rice and fish. They do not eat in • very tidy way,
for they roll the rice up into a hall with their finger.,
and then bolt it. We are close to the sea, so the boys
can run down and bathe easily and sail their boats,
which they very cleverly snake out .if a part of the
cocoa-nut tree. On the way down the coast of Africa,
about 300 miles from here, our ship called at a port
called Lorno, and ,oime of us went ashore to see the
town, which was only a collection of huts, made iif
bamboo arfil thatched with cecoa-nut leaves. The
streets are very narrow, and never cleaned, and nothing
but sand. It was very pretty out in the country, and
I saw 1.. t• if very pretty Innis, parrot... monkeys, and
antelopes, and I was told there were a great many
panthers about, though I did not see one, which was
I.erhaps, lucky. you will say. Next day we put in at
a port called 3lLambasa, where there is a Church
Missiimary Society Station called Free,' Town. We
went and paid • visit to the Bishop, and stopped to
breakfast, but I had to go on aoard and read the
service, as it was Sunday. After service I went there
again, and went into the church, where there was a
goed congregation. There were two missionaries
th,e, and their house was a very pretty one, our.
rounded by all sort. of pretty tree* and flowers.
The first night I was in Zanzibar I could get no sleep,
for. besides 'being very but, the dogs, which run about
half wild, make a terrible noise at night. Did you
ever hear a dog howl !—Yea. Did you ever hear 50
dogs howl at mos.—No. And you may be very
thankful, for every night I sit here thedopo bowl a song
in 50 parts, and besi es that the children beat their
drums and sing all night; it seemed tolme Zanzibar
is it at all like an English town. The streets are
nowhere wide as Swanage-street, opposite the Coffee
Tavern, and are very dirty; everybody throws their
fruit skins and refuse out in the streets, and there it
rot., iitel if a cow likes it will lay down in the street
after drinking, WO Imink,' you step over it. Do you
think the black boys i.ught to be very thankful for
being so well taken care of, fed, clothed, physicked,
! and taught to read and write and the truths of Ina
! Christian religion? I do. But you must remember
! that mist of them have gone through great hard-
, ships as slaves. There is one poor fellow dying here
1 nine then the sufferings and lineations he hae had to
!go through as a slave. He has been here six months,
and has never recovered; but what makes it more sad
! for hirn is that nobody knows his language, and he
! siniply lies on a mat all day half asleep. He is to be
baptised tomorrow. Now, I want you to bear in
mind at all times, and especially when you say your
prayer., your very great privileges as compared with
these boys and all the heathens out here. There is
! as much difference between your privileges and theirs
3% it is between yours and the Queen s. You have
been born in a Christian land' have God-fearing
panoits, who I. 'k after you and make you a good
heme ; y. el have everything about you to make your
life happy; and ought to I. very thankful to God,
who made you. Therefore, try to be good children;
keep the commandments you know so well, and learn
while you are young to keep in the steps of the Lord
Jesus Christ. I remember you all in my prayers every
day, as I hope you do me and soy worlc.—Believe me,
my dear teachers and children, to be yours affection-
ately, DUNCAN THAVIERB."
