WITHIN SIGHT OF DEATH.

The view of death caught by tho
passengers Of the Central America,
shows that an hour comes when all that
a man hath will he give for his life
The worthlcssness of gold was never
more truthfully depicted than by this
disaster. A New York paper says -
1t is stated by many of the survi-
vors of the Central Americas S passen-
gers, as was in the case Of those who
came by the Central America. Many
were persons of large means, and
there were but very few whose immc-
date wealth did not amount to hund-
reds, while numbers reckoncd their
gold by the thousands Of dollars. The
greater portion ofthe passengers were
returned miners, some coming hither
to invest the capital they had realized
in hopes to live q life of greater ease
as the result of their industry, andoth-
crs to get their families and once more
go to the land Of gold. But as the
storm continued to rage, less and less
of gold was thought of, and when on
Saturday it became evident that they
were likely at any moment to be buri-
ed beneath the waves, wealthy men
dlvested themselves Of their treasure
belts and scattered the gold upon the
cabin floors, telling those to take it
who would, lest its weight--a few oun-
ccs Or pounds---carry them to their
death Full purses, containing in some
instances $4,000, were lying untouch-
ed on sofas. Carpct'bags were open
ed by men and the shining metal was
poured out with the prodigality of
deaths despair. One Of the passen-
gers, who has fortunately been rescu-
ed opened bag and dashed about the
cabin $4,000 in gold dust, and told
hlm who wanted to crafty Lis creed
for gold to take it. But it was passed
by untouched as the vericst dross."

suRFEYoRs OF THE CENTRAL AMER.
iEi. =

Much excitement was created in this
city on Monday last by the arrival Of
three survivors of the Central Ameri.
ca, who were found drifting in one of
the steamers life boats, some 47S
miles Northeast of the spot where the
Central america went down. One of
them, j. lice, second cngineen after
the steamer went down clung to plank
three days until on the fourth morning
ne drittedpast an empty boat, for which,
deserving his plank he swan, and, af-
ter a tedious pull, got into it. On the
fifth day he driftedrlose past the steam
er's hurricane deck. This had, at one
time, twelve men on it, but one by one
of these persisted, even while raising
their enfeebled hands imploring God
to save them from impending death,
until but four persons remained alive !;
one of them, Mr.. Grant, one of the
steamers iiremen, jumped of, swan to
Ilce's boat, and the two rowed her up
(for happily the oars had not been lost(
to the hurricane deck, and took off a
colorcd man named Dawson, the only
living tenant it then had, the other two
having just persisted. The three, then
drifted four nights and three days lon
ger, North and East t-ward, up to the
very Eastern edge of the Gulf Stream,
aud out of the usual tracks of all yes
sells. They had nothing to eat or
drink from the hour the steamer sank
until on the fifth day, when Tico struck
q dog-fish with the blade of his oar
and killed it. This wretchcd proven
der they ate ravcnougly of, raw, of
course, and then till the ninth day they
had no more to eat. On the eighth
night there was heavy rain. Of the
water that fell they drank freely, and
would have killed themselves with it,
Grant said, but that they had been
able to save only little of it and the
supply soon failed. On the ninth day
after the steamer went down they were
seen by the brig Mary, and taken on
board. This was the first sail they
saw. Subsequently they were trans
ferred to the Laura and brought to
New York.
They arc terribly emaciatcd, and
covered with boils produced by the ac-
ton of the salt water, while their whole
appearance is sufficient proof of the
terrible sufferings they endured.

ehts, ana colporteurS, by ecclesiastical
bodies, and the religious press. Over
the South we have now a virtual sus.
pension of collections, md if the pres
ent distrust and alienation but remain,
there must speedily ensue withdraw
al of colportcurs and distribution, thro'.
out our southern field. We must sur
render all the southern and southwest.
ern States. Toproceed is thus to pal
sy one whole side Of our institution.
The committee have believed that
the action and Instructions of the last
anniversary, explicitly chcrishing as
they do the society's usefulness "thro'-
ont orr s0holc country" could not con-
template, even on the part of those
northern friends most earnestly advo-
eating them, any revolutionary and
disruptive change in the line of the So
ciety's policy, cutting off from the So
ciety a portion of sour aUhole country
so large, and in our past labors so
largely blessed, as the entire South.
The publishing Committee, therefore,
voted with entire unanimity to arrest
tho issue Of the work that had been
before them, confidently believing that
their action in the premises would com.
mend itself to the society under the
phases which the subject has assumed;
and the Executive Committee united in
sustaining this as the only present ac-
tion conservative Of all the interests
and just to all the parties involved.
1t were waste Of the socicty's funds
to issue treatise on southern duties
for which we could find no southern
readers, and for the sake of securing
such issue to forego deliberately, and
without explicit warrant from the soci,
ETY., all further opportunity of sending
thitherward the large body of publica,
tlons we have hitherto, under Gods
manifest blessing, scattered there.
10 the further developments of Gods
good providence, and to the guidance
of his Spirit, promised where reverent,
ly and humbly implored, the commit.
tee now refer this question, meanwhile
seeking the things that make fol
peace and aiming to secure the 'tfruit
of righteousness sown in peace Of then

This is an increase of 33 per cent,

OF this great cereal crop. fully one-haIf

ly as pork, LAID whiskey, aud cattle.
There will be a greater surplus in 1S-

bushels, which is. equivalent to an in
crease of Thirty millions Of dollars
There will bo half the same increase
on wheat, and one fourth as much on
oats. The advance in hay, which is al.
ready much Of il gathered, will he full

pears in the weight Of cattle, horses,

aunna, we must remember that the CROP
OF 1886 fell below tha, "f 1910 very
much. If our hypothesis OF full av.
erage crop should turn out true, we
think The surpluses Of the West will be
from eighty to hundred millions ofdol.
lars better than in 1856. There is a
full demand for these. and our railroads
furnish ready and cheap outlet to all
markets.

production, and on the assumption ,ha,
the crop Of this year will be a full av.

For tho heaven that smiles above me.

For those human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the hopes that beam within me,
And the good thai can do.

When man shall live BY reason,
And not alone for gold;
When man 10 man united,
And every wrong thing rightcd,

Hospitality in the House Of God.

Every Church says an exchange pa
per, that would prosper must show
proper attention to strangers. 1t sho' d
be seen that they are promptly and
courteously provided with seats, and
made to feel that they have cordial
welcome there. Kind looks should
greet them as they come, and follow
them as they go. Should they come
again let them have the same reception.
And shouldthey become constant wor-
shippers there, let them be sought out
and visited, not merely by the pastor
but by members Of the church and So
cicty. Whether rich or poor, they
should not be overlooked or neglected.
They have claims as strangers irrcs.
pectiye of all outward distinction. Let
US see that they have prompt attention.
Let man bring the matter home to
himself. Suppose you are in u strange
place. You go to the house of God on
the Sabbath, but are treated as stran-
ger in the fullest sense of the word.--
You are not spoken to--you arc not
seated. We venture the assertion that
when you 60 home it will be to attend
some other meeting, if there is one
near, and if there is no other, you will
be inclined to stay at home. - Oh. Era.
