Karen Mission in Burmah.

Rev Mr.. Kincail, in referring 10 the
Karen Christians in Burmah proper,
says
Everywhere umong them they have fam
lily worship morning and evening, and IN
every church they meet four times every
Lords day for public service. Dung
Bau is the only ordained minister OH the
east side Of the Itrswadi, and his district
extends from the sea shere to within few
miles Of Prone, nearly 300 miles from
north to south. Within this district are
thirty churches and something over 1000
members. There are ten assistant preach
ers. Dung Bau is obliged to visit all
these churches to administer baptism and
the Lords supper, also to lock into the
discipline Of the churches.

Niagara Falls Crumbling.

On Saturday afternoon, portion Of
tho prccipicc ncar the Tower, on
tho south side of Goat Island, foil with
mighty crash. This portion extend
ed from the edge oftho Island toward
the Tower, being about one hundred
and twenty-five feet long and about
sixty feet wide, of a somewhat cIipti'
cal shape, and reaching from the top
to near the bottom of the fall. The
next day another piece, triangular
with base of about forty feet, broke
off lust below the Tower. But the next
great performance was the most re,
markablc. Between the portion that
had previously fallen, stood rcctang-
ular projection, about thirty feet long
and about fifteen feet wide, extending
from top to bottom of tho prccipice.
This immense mass became looscncd
from tho main body Of rock, and set
tied perpcndicularly about eight feet,
where it now stands, an enormous
column, two hundred feet high, by the
Dimensions named. 1t is most proba-
bic that this column will also full when
the weather becomes warmer. The
severity of the winter, and the long
continuance of the intense cold, have
produced these results.

evening 23rd at the Theatre. 1t was
doubtless, what the papers term a
splendid affair. In looking over the
list of managers, one is surprised to
find the names of many individuals,
members ofthe Legislature, who were
known at home as communicates in
orthodox churches. The question i'm
modiately arises, show is this, have
these men laid asid their professions
because away from home, sojourn-

There is no cause for alarm These
names are on the list of managers

Whitefiela'S First Sermon.

Whitclield began with as small u
stock of scrmonsas ofworldly wealth.
1t had been his intention to have pre-
pared at lcast hundred whcrewitl
to commence his ministry. Hofound
himself with only one; for, having
lent it to a ncighboring clergyman, to
convince him how very unit he was,
as he really believed himself to be,
for the work of preaching, tho clergy
man divided it into two, which he
preached morning and evening to his
congregation, and sent it back with a
guinea for its use. With this sermon
he first appeared in tho pulpit in the
church of St. Mary do Crypt, where
he had been baptized, and where he
first received the sacrament. Curios-
ity brought together a largo congro-
CATION; and he now, ho says, felt the
unspcakablo advantage ofhaving bce'
accustomed to public speaking whc'
at school, and ofcxhorting andtcach
iugthc poorpcoplc at Oxford. Nor
than this-hc felt what he beloved t.
be sense of the Divine presence,an'
kindling as he went on in this belief
spoke as hc thought with some dogre'
of gospel authority. A fcw' Of hi
hearers Knocked; but upon tho great
or number a strong impression wa'
produced, and complaint was made tt
tho Bishop that fifteen persons were
driven madby tho sermon. The sooe
man replied, he wished tho madness
might not be forgotten before tho nex'
Sunday.-SOuthey's Wesley.

THE WIFE.

While through lifc's dreary path we wind,
And cares and sorrows fill the mind,
What on earth Gun be SO blithc
As good, kind and loving wife :
From whom such warm affections rise,
And aught but tenderness aespise,
Whose heart goes out in tender strains
T, increase our joys and soothe our pains
A friend that's always gooda and true
In times ofmir,h and trouble too,
Whether far abroad VIC roam,
Or in tho lovely circle HOME.
An angel then in human form
Is found on earth the heart to warm,
A precious gia, gem from heaven,
The Lord to mortal man has given.
In Eden lonely Adam reamed,
While under fruit til garden groaned,
And all things elc were fraught with lise,
But Adam had no loving wife.
In such case what mus. be done,
Adam could not dwell alone,
For nature surely had designed
That everything n mate should lind.
A,lcng,h the Lord devised plan,
To make woman for tho man,
And took rib from Adams side
Which soon became his lovely bride.
King Solomon could justly sing,
A lovely wife wasa good thing,
And whoc'er gcts one lin a word)
Obtainc,l. favor fthc Lord.
If then such tics arc sweet on earth,
The place that first did give them birth,
May this prayer to God be given,
That We may rc-unitc in Heaven.

this suddenly formed resolution was

1t would be pleasant and perhaps
profitable to follow her in the path Of
duty which she laid out for herself,
but want Of time and space forbids.
Living in village, her limits for do

but it was her privilege to hear herself
called by many earnest lips, with
truthfulness of heart "our guardian
angel" She it was who visited the
poor, wretcled and suffering, admin
istcring to their wants both spiritual
and temporal with all the Kindness Of
near and dear friend. She who
went about in the lanes and hedges,
persuading the children ofpoor. untu-
tored parents to attend the Sabbath
School, and, when brought in, talked
to them in gentle tones Of the Saviour
who loves little children, and took
them up in his arms and blessed
them. She instituted the missionary
society, formed plans for the dislribu-
ton Of tracts, with the assistance Of
others instituted a sewing circle to aid
the poor, and indeed wherever any
plan of benevolence was stated, her
name would be the first mentioned us

Nor was it only abroad that her spir-
