Dir. HOWE On the 2Sth ult., or about
midnight, we reached Lagia Roumelt, and
in three hours discharged the cargo In
few minutes there came running from the
surrounding villages men and women, cry
ing, with tears in their eyes, "Gipe as some
bread, that we may live !" And gave them
some bread, after which they helped me to
transport the provisions to Myles, which
was to be my depot. On the day following
there came down from the mountains the in
habitants of the burned villages of Kydomic
and Saline half-naked and furnished, crying
s'For Gods sake give bread to us also, for
we have not tasted any for twenty days. "
To them also gave bread according to your
directions. spent ten days in Laga Rou-
melt, doing the business well.
On the lst inst. went to the villages oil
Aredana and Anip0lio, where l found many
families from the provinces of Apocorena,
whose pressing wants have also supplied.
On the I'd inst. Preached the village Of Mou-
ri, where repeated the same; and on the
Sd we passed through the White Mountains,
,, where we found multitude of families liv.
ing in rocks ravines, and caves, in the most
!. wretched condition. Had 1t been possible
for me to go naked l would gladly have
il stripped myself and have given my clothes
q to cover their nudity.

HOPE AND COURAGE.

True hope is based on energy Of charac-
acter. A strong mind always hopes, and
has always cause to hope, because it knows
the mutabiiity of human affairs, and how
slight circumstance may change the whole
course of events. Such spirit, too. rests
upon itself; il is not confined TO particular
objects and if at last eli should be lost, it
has saved itself its own integrity and worth.
Hope awakens courage, while despondency
is the last of all evils; 1t Is the abandonment
of good-the giving up of the battle of life
with dead nothingness He who can i'm
plant courage in the human soul is the best
physician. To seek to govern men by their
! fears and their wants Is an unworthy pur-
/ pose: the desire TO rule by means OF coward
/ leo is of itself cowaTdice. Love inspires
courage and hope and this is doubly the
giver and preseryer Of life, Whatsoever
teaches US boldly to combat the manifold
evils and assaults Of life, enables us to wiz
the crown of victory. Special care, there
fore ought to be taken in education to teach
what true courage is-as well in social anc
domestic as in public affairs-and by wha
means il may be best sustained.
