atory state 10 be succeeded by one where
every Intellectual power will be incon-
eeivably expanded. and every capacity for
happiness or misery immensely enlarged
or that our future state Of being will be
determined by the manner in which this
brief opening Of our existence is spent
Is it not then surprising, that any intelii-
gent being should highly estimsie the i'm

BRANDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER Id, 1886

family resided, with whom he was &C
quainted. The Sabbath previous to 60
ing, on tsking leave of her teacher, she
asked for some tracts to take with her, as,
she said, she hoped they might be useful.
! Her request was complied with, and she
was supplied with bundle of tracts. She
was the on y female on board the vessel,
the crew and passengers Of which were
very profane. The voyage proceeded We
were becalmed many hours: this gave &C.
casion for the utterance of a profuslon of
oaths that shocked the feelings of this
child, who had been taught the sinfulness
of swearing. Lying in her cabin very
| i'll, she thought of her tracts, and muster
ed strength enoug h to crawl to her box,
and taking out The Swearer's Prayer
she put it into the hands ofthe young man
who had been the most profane, and ask
ed him if he would like to read that little
book. He said he would be glad to read
anything TO pass away the time He read
it aloud, and every individual appeared
deep y attentive-a solemn pause ensued.
This encouraged the little girl to 60 to
her box second time She then brought
the History of Naaman.' This was
eagerly read by the same youth, and lis
tened to with equal attention; so much
so, that not word was spoken for several
minutes. Some time after, an oath was
uttered; but it was heard with general
dlsapprobation. The young man who
had been reading, addressed the swearer
and said, "How can you swear, after
hearing what has just been read? have
determined never to swear again as long
as live" $50 have L. said another
and the whole company entered into SOL
emn vow, that they would not swear any
more. This engagement they adhered
to, at least till the end of the voyage, as
no more profane language was heard dur.
ing the remainder ofthe passage. When
landed at Dunkirk, and the parties were
separating 20 proceed to their respective
destinations, the young man begged the
little girl would oblige him by giving
him the tracts he had read, that he
might carry them with him. This
she very readily did, and then they part
ed, probably never to meet again in this
world. The other tracts she took with
her, and read them to the family in whose
care her father left her, and who were W.
ry glad to hear them and during he1
stay, frequently requested her to read
them over again. After residence Of
about month, she returned to England
in another vessel, leaving behind her, al
the particular request of the family, all
her little books. She arrived in the river
Thames about twelve o'clock on Saturday
night, got on shore, and reached her home
between one and two on Sabbath morn

BURMAH.
Extracts from the Journal of Mr. Simons.
AVA, Sept. Is, l835.-Visited the Me-
kara prince this afternoon. in company
with brother K. He understands our
science better than any other Burman in
the country, and has spent some money
in purchasing pair of fine globes, and
scientific books. He understands the
English language little. After asking
brother K some questions on the science.
he produced handsome bound volume of
the Digest which brother K. had given
him, and asked him to explain some pas
Sages in it, which he did not understand.
About night returned home.
METHOD OF TANNING THE WILD ELE-
PLANT. Nov. e. A wild elephant was
brought in today from the wilderness by
drove of tame females. The Burmans
assembled from all parts of the city to see
him enter the trap. We arrived too late
to see him enter, but were informed that
he walked in very quietly with the drove.
These were soon let out. and the wild ele-
plant finding himself alone, surrounded
by strong posts and high walls, and disap-
pointed in his mighty efforts to escape,
gave US a fine opportunity to see the ex,
ertions of the wonderful animal in his wild
state, and to admire the wisdom and power
of God in his formation. After he had
been teased by some daring fellows run
ming to him with a spear, and then scam
pering away, as for their life, the entrance
to the small trap was opened, and he fu-
rioasly pursued man into it, and instant
" found his liberty curtailed. This place
was Just large enough for him to stand in,
and whilst the men were fastening his hind
legs with strong ropes made Of buffalo
hides, and fixing rope round his neck,
he ragged terribly. From the trap. we'll
fettered, he was pulled out; and after
throwing himself with fury on the ground.
thrusting his tusks in the earth. roaring
tremendously, and trying to break bis
letters, he was finally drawn up to the
strong post, to which he was fastened by
the neck. He will be kept here until he
is tame enough to receive the next course
Of discipline.

ENERGY OF CHARACTER.

Some men have spirit of decision
which will not suffer them to remain neu-
trail on any question of importance. No
sooner is such case presented to a man
of this character, than hasty decision is
followed by Immediate energetic action.
This haste may sometimes throw him on
the wrong side, and he may be the means
of much harm still, such an one, howev-
er laundering, cannot fail, if his motives
be right of accomplishing far more good
in the course of his life, than one of those
who will do nothing for fear of doing
wrong. And when they are right in their
plans and methods, this promptness and
energy of character are truly invaluable

stamp, No sooner has he completed his

LIBERTY OF SPEECH.

Soon after the suppression of the Anti
Slavery Society, in one of our New-Eng-
land Colleges, the students were forbidden
to read essays on the subject as college
exercise. The following was read the
next week before the senior class. The
president Of the college, who was in the
chair, was unable to object to it, as vio-
lation of his decree, inasmuch, as not a
word on the subject of slavery could be
found in the piece

CHRISTIAN CONDUCT. Conduct is a
language that all can understand. And
il it be true that actions speak louder than
aoords. then all may speak of Christ, all
may preach the Gospel, in the distinct,
and earnest, and powerful eloquence ola
holy life. All may plead for religion
with liv'ng arguments-all proclaim its
excellence by conduct which is without
reproach and above suspicion. This is
mode of preaching which all may adopt
which men cannot avoid hearing-which
they must respect-which they aoiU feel.
Said an iDfdel, of an eminently pious
man, Il never see that man without feel
ing my own unworthiness-hei is a con-
slant reproof to me--the sight Of him has
often made me tremble"

WORLDLY HoPEs-These are not liv-

fore u.s. and We liveto bury them, and see
our own folly and infelicity in trusting to
them but at utmost, they die with US
when we die, and can accompany US no
further. But the lively hope which is the
Christians portion, answers expectation to
the full and much beyond it. and deceives
no way, but by far exceeding it. A liv-
ing hope, living in death itself! The
world dares say no more for its device,
than dunn spirO spero (s0hil: l livs lhope,)
but the children of God can add, by virtue
of this living hope, dunn e1piro spero
