Who never to himself has said
When he hath needless hit his head,
"Thunlcr"
Or who, whom shaving in morning cold
Hath gashed his chin with razor old
And could this powerful word withhold,
Thundcr."
Or who on ice, or slippery stones,
Hath fallen and Jared his " crazy bonc,"
And not exclaimed, with angry tone,

When ones suspcndcrs give way,
Whilst dancing b. with ladies gay,
Where is tho man lip but say,
Thunder"
'Tis a convenient intcrection,
To use mt news of lost election,
Depending on q party question,
"Thunder!"
Or when ones notes or bills fall due,
And banks arc hard, and won't renew,
In saying this there's comfort true,
"Thunder!n
Or when ones bent on writing rhymes,
And tries in vain q hundred times,
How well this word with any chimes,
''Thundcr."
In short, when things have gone past bearin
All into shreds ones patience tearing,
Say this-'tis hotter far than swearing

KEEP SOME OBJECT IN VIEw.-Evcry
man, rich or poor ought to have some abb
sorbing purpose, some active engagement
to which his main energies are devoted
Not enjoyment but duty, daily, must be
the aim of each life. No man has right
to live upon this fair earth, to breathe its
air to consume its food, to enjoy its bcauti-
es, producing nothing in return He has
no right to enjoy the blessings of ciyiliza-
ton, ofsocicty, and of civil liberty, without
contributing earnest and selfdcnying labor
OF head and hand to the welfare of mankind.
Certainly no man can be truly religious who
makes qualification, as distinct from self
denying exertion, the great object of life,
and the idlcr puts pleasure exactly in the
place of duty.

ence. No violent measures, no systematic en-
croachments appear necessary to accomplish this
doom nor has the most generous iberality or
watchful care ayailed to stay it.
A generous mind revolts at the spectacle OF
whole nations thus apparently doomed to extinc-
ton without . struggle-it would almost seem
without a mission, and casts about for a remedy.
To prescribe intelligently for a disease, we must
ascertain and study its nature and primary
causes. In this, most of those who have written
upon the subject of the antagonism of races have
been wanting. The simple facts are stated and
the doom announced, but the causes are left UNI
told, as a problem too deeply hidden in the econ
omy of Nature for human skill to master. 1t is
often urged that in dealing with uncivilized COM
munities, commerce must precede christianity.
We do not indulge in such special pleading in re-
gard to our own families, but are satisfied with
following the order of Nature. We do not at
once feed the infant on strong meats and high
favored dishes, but rather defer these until his
age and education is sufficiently far advanced that
he may safely be trusted with his appetite. Nor
do we trust a child with edge tools, for fear OF
the consequences to himself. Uncivilized races
are but children of another growth, and should
be treated as such. Like them they must be pre-
pared by a proper couise of education for an in
PRODUCTION into society, otherwise we must not be
surprised if they make many awkward blunders,
and not having been taught to use without
abusing, eventually die of a s%urfeit. The school
should precede, not follow the ship. The spelling
book first mastered, the yard-stick will be under
stood. Moral principles once established, and
vice will find an uncongenial soil. :
Here then, is an open field for the philanthro-
pist, the true lover of his kind, one who has a
high faith in human capabilities. From the
coral islets of DEMONSTRATION the unexplored
regions of New Guinea-from many an ocean
gem that dots our wide Pacific, where commerce
has already sent its votaries, comes up the cry
from heather tribes and people, unceasing as the
roar of the surf that breaks on their wild shores
