HORRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN AFRICA
The Rev Mr.. Beachman, member of the " Lon
don Wesleyan Mission" has recently returned
from visit to Africa and in sketch of the ne
groes inhabiting the Gold Coast aud its vicinity,
which we find in the Honolulu Religious Journal.
he furnishes picture exceeding in horrors any
thing we had yet believed of beings wearing the
human form. Who can read without shudder of
such bloody deeds and Pandemonium customs as
those which he records:
"Scarce any of their bloody customs been
abandoaed since they first became known to Eu-
ropeans. They will even pave their court-yerds,
palaces and even tho streets market places

Upon the death of the kings brother, four thou

Male Orphan Asylum.

TO the public Of Richmond for support. 1t has
been conducted with strict attention to economy,
with system, prudence and energy. Il has &C.
complished much good In quiet and unobtrusive
way. 1t has. provided shelter, food, clothing,
friends, education,-in one word, home for scores
of orphan boys, who, otherwise, would have
been ragged, starving miserable, perhaps
depredators upon society, living upon the commu-
nifty at more expense than they now are, and sup
ported at last in public institution at public
cost. From this miserable doom they have been
rescued, and comfortly cared for, and prepared to
become useful men, enriching instead of impov-
erishing society. Shall this career of usefulness
be now arrested for the want of support or be con-
ven by benevolent minds even by those who
view the institution in economical point of view.
1t really costs to let generation grow up in
ignorance and crime than to provide for them the
means of intellectual and moral education.
But sordid minds are not moved by any mo.
tives which do not show q direct profit upon
all their charitable investments. If they 'end to
tbs Lord as giving to the poor is styled in Scrip
ture, they require some better security than the
Divine promise that the debt shall be paid. Be.
nevolent institutions must rely at last upon men
who have souls; men Of uncalcula.iug generosity;
men who can feel for another's II they were
thsiro and who are ready to aid helpless or
phans they would wish others to aid their chill.
dren, should death cast them father less and moth
erless upon the world. To such mon as these, the
Male Orphan Asylum of Richmond makes it ap-
peala Wa do not believe it will appeal in vain
