ANOTHER DEruTATIoN TO lNDLA,--,
Rev. DR.. Andersen, the senior Seereta-
ry of the American Board, and Rev.
Mr.. Thompson, of Roxbury, Mass,
have sailed from Boston, intending to
visit the missions of the Board in the
East. One of the important questions
which is affecting tho missions Of every
missionary society in India, and upon
which they will confer with the mission
aries, is the extent to which the natives
should be taught tho English language.
There are numerous English free
schools under British patronage, attend
ed by great numbers of young mon;
but US they tolerate Hindoo superstition
the missionaries have been inclined to
omen English schonls on an evangelical
plan. The effect Of the edncatlon seems
10 L, be to cause disrelish for the use of
the native languages, thus depriving
the missions to. u great extent OF the
aid and influence of tho pupils in spread
ing truth among their counlrymen,

An American Volunteer in Turkey.

It'll grateful to the Christian heart 10
find an occasional instance of regard for
eternal things, in the midst of armed
hosts and contending nations. A cores

thus writes of an adventurous Ameri-
can Christian in Constantinople: a' a,

Progress in India.

The Rov. II. w. Hume, missionary
at Bombay, states that the circulation OF
their religious publications is mainly by
sale at very low prices, through the a.
gency Of native colporteurs tho TACT
that a little sum is paid for them being
tho bes, evidence that they are valued
and read.
Their colporleurs have visited the
country south as far as Goa, north near
ly to Surat, and cast nearly five hun
dred miles, selling in all the villages,
even in places which the missionary has
never reached.
He says a large part of the moro in.
huential young men have acquired and
are acquiring a knowledge Of the Eng
lish; aud there is passion for Engl'@
education among all the better classes in
the large towns. Thisis highly i'm
por,ant fact, and means arc devised, by
circulating libraries and other methods,
to furnish supply of good English
reading. He adds,
al magnificent system Of electric tel-
egraphs is rapidly progressing here
which will bring oil the distant cities of
this great country into close neighbor-
hood. Soon, by its means, we shall
have instantaneous communication with
Madras, Calcutta, Delhi, Agra, Labor,
Benares, etc. A grand system of rail-
ways is also in progress. Education i'
advancing, superstition is on the wane;
God is carrying on his work in many
ways, and hastening on the day when
the idols shall be abolished, and the
kingdom of his Son fully established in
this dark land. The number of converts
is still small, i, is in many respects the
day of small things; bu, ourhearts are
cheered by many encouraging indica-
lions of progress. And more than all,
we are strengthened by the assurance
that G cd will fulfil his great and pre-
cious promises in due time, and that
idola,rous bonighted India shall yet be
full of the knowledge and the glory Of
God. Slow as it may seem to us, God
is, am persuaded, Fastening on the fnl-
iilment Of these promises with lightning
speed. Let US be erememberod in your
prayers. Would that there were more
of spirit of prayer among the church
es on our behalf" 1''''.e'' sla''e.'',

The Weather.

~ was such aday asyesterday that North while
editing the Pen and Pencil at Cincinnati. pub
hshed an article ON the radiation of heat, and
the manner Of constructing new stove by
means of which a large room could be heated
up to any temperature, with small lamp. No
wonder all the papers in the country were down
upon him, denouncings him as an utterly incon-
sistent member of society for suggesting such
ideas as heating rooms, and roasting oxen, when
every human being was in a fever with the
rays of the sun, and in spite of every effort to
keep cool We can conceive no greater outrage
to our fellow-creatures feelings than this con-
duct of Mr.. North's. To offer man an ice
cream in the middle of a northern winter, or to
ask him if he would like shower bath after a
long drive through the snow, would be compar-
atiyey a compliment, q joke. We can fancy
nothing more ill-bred than to talk of anything
warm in such weather as this If you don't
happen oagree with US, reader, just put the fol-
lowing case, and then see what your sentiments
would be: Surprising you had been walking
five miles along dusty road; that your boots
were filled with sand, and your eyes, ears and
throat with dust, you arrive at friends house,
looking forward with intense eagerness to q
glass of ice water, or o brimmer of claret. Your
friend receives you cordially, shakes you by the
hand, and tells you he has not drop of any
thing to drink in the house, but if you will sit
down by the fire he will bring you some soda
crackers. Would you knock him down. We
should rather think you would No, depend
upon it, there is nothing more indicate than
trifing with the feelings of a thirsty man,
But this is really hot weather. We have not
met man with perfect powers of articulation
for the last two days. Why don't we have
punkas here as they do in the East; great big
fan hung from the ceiling and set in motion by
niger would be PROFESSIONALLY an excellent
thing. What blessing to be sea gull or a
duck during the day, half the time under water
and the other half sailing about in the air.
