THE MOUNT OF ASCENSION.
BY THE REV. J. p. DURBIS, D. D.

BY THE REV. J. r. DURBIS, d. D.
For thir,y-six hours. from three O'Clock
on Friday afternoon until the following
Sunday morning, the most painful sus-
pense and the iniensest anxiety pervaded
The city of Jerusalem; for, during these
lhrty.six hours the Lord Of Life and Glory
was in The grave. Hope and fear agilated
the hearts Of His enemies, for they had
Witnessed His miraculous powers when
alive. and remembered His declaration,
lhat in three days He would rise again
from the dead, if they should ,lay Him.
Confidence and doubt alternately swayed
The minds of His few faithful disciples,
IS they communed concerning the Lord
Jesus, and His promises to them that lie
would rise from the dead. IL one might
ask for what the Divine Providence has
been pleased 10 withhold, feel strongly
inclined to wish that full and faithful re-
cord of these conversations OF the disciples
had been given TO the world. Ii seems TO
me that they would have been the most
beautiful and convincing evidence Of the
truth Of the sacred story. This is evident
from the naturalness Of so much of these
conversations as has been preserved 10 us.
Who can read the following between two
o. The disciples, and their risen, but unap-
pretended Master, without feeling that
The record is true! II is so natural. SO
touching. so beautiful, that we are satisfied
that il must have sprung from the midst
Of The scene and circumstances alleged.

day of the week, i. e. on our Sunday; the

which was fom Jerusalem lhreescore
lurlongs. And they talked together oil all
these things which had happened. And
il came to pass that while they communed
and reasoned together, Jesus himself drew
near and walked with them. But their
eyes we're holdep that they should mol
know him. And he said unto them, What
manner OF communications are these that
ye have one with another, as ye walk and
are sad! And one Of them, whose name
vas C:eophas, answering, said unto HIM,
Art thou only stranger in Jerusalem, and
hast not known the things which are come
10 pass there in these davs! And he said
unto them, What things! And they said

California Castles Falling

California Castles FaIiing-A cor.
respondent Of The Boston Traveller has
made some calculations that may well
siarIle this Califoinia.crazed rounlry. He
begins by stating that there are now in llhe
Bay Of San Francisco 900 vessels. Five
hundred will have left lhe United States by
The end of The year, all OF which. with
the steamers, will have carried $4,000
passengers. An equal number will go by
land. The cost Of outfit and passage for
these 100000 men cannot be less than
$500, making in all $50. 100000. II will
cosi them at least $500 a year 10 live.
This makes s50,O0O.O0O more. Sup
pose the time Of each individual be valued
al 5000 year. and we have further adj
dilion Of s20,000,0O0, making in all a
round aggregate OF slO0.O00.OO0. Not
half this amount can be realized from The
mines. But this is not al. The forsakea
vessels have lost an immense amount of
time. They have been knocked 10 pitcs
on the voyage, and any one who examines
the law scale upon which the above cal.
cuations are made. will be con,inced that
sll0,000,000 will not more than half
cover the actual loss 10 The country caused
BY the California emigration, in one short
year. The testimony is that The mines
are 'ess productive than formerly, and it
will probably take dozen years 10 make
go5d 10 the country the losses Of The pre-
sent yeaf
On this same> e>subjeci, too, correspon-
dent Of the Express, who rejoices in the
euphonious name Of "SqUlddle," very
sensibly remarks that II might have saved
many Of those who have rushed TO Cali
fornia. from ruin, had they sat qnietly
down and made a few figures before start

the N. O. Picayune, estimates that from
the FIRST OF June, 1910, 10 Isl June, 1850,
there will be si2,O0O.oO0 Of gold mined.
Every one says this estimate is loo high;
but supposing il correct, no one will con,
slider il an over estimate 10 say that during
the time named. 100000 persons will
visit California in search Of fortunes.
Making The moderate allowance of $500
for the expenses Of each person, we have
an aggregate Of S50,0O0.000. The gold
mines being the only source Of wealth,

PRESERVING NEWSPAPERS.

One OF the many things which have
TO regret, says correspondent of the Bri-

is that did not from earliest youth, at

twenty years old How many events
would this call TO mind which he had en-

associations and feelings would il revive!
What view would il give Of past years!
What knowledge would ii preserve by as
sisting the memory! And how many va
luable purposes Of even literary kind,
might il be rendered subservient 10!
How much do wish that could look
into such record when composing this
short article! But newspapers are quite
different things now from what they we're

are unspeakably more interesting and va
luable; in this respect, al least, q believe
in many oihers.) these times are better
than the former. Formerly the editors of
newspapers were obliged TO strain their
wits and exhaust their means in order 10
obtain matter to fill their pages. Now the
great difficulty is, TO insert all the yalua-
BILE, interesting materials that ARE poured
upon them from every part Of The world,
and from every grade aud phase Of socie-
ty. Now, newspapers contain many of
