hange in Niagara Falls.

a correspondent writes from Mag
ara Falls:
"The theory that has for some time
been discussed with regard to the cav
ing in or wearing away of Niagara
Falls this season found new fuel to add
to the argument in its favor. Consid-
erable comment has been going the
rounds OF the leading papers tor few
weeks with relation to the changed
appearance of the falls from that of
last year. The Horse Shoe has evil
IDENTIFY given way some thirty feet in
that part of the cone where the green
water is seen, so that the horse shoe
appearance is metamorphosed to that
of triangular shape 1t is thaught
that about one hundred and fifty
tons OF rock must have fallen in on the
Horse Shoe alone, and old habitues
here are taking land marks, to notice
the recession that may take place be-
fore another year.
"The American Fall has evidently
given way at points to considerable
extent. There is no doubt but that
Niagara is crumbling away and falling
back, but the present recession is prob
ably the greatest ever witnessed by
one generation. The heavy ice fields
which pass over in the spring, the
strong currents and the ceaseless wear
and tear of time and the mighty thun-
dering cataract must inevitably tell
heavily upon the rocky crest Of the
grand old shrine; but Of course its
| falling away must be SO slow as not to
be observable to the eye, except when,
from time to time some of the i'm
mense boulders give way"

considerable property, whose besetting

excepting missionary societies. Once
he attended the monthly concert OF
prayer for foreign missions, when the
ministers asked him to pray. He COM
piled at once, and made prayer in the
usual style, entirely unexceptionable,
until the very close, when his ruling
idea came out in these words: 'Oh
Lord! may We all act in such a manner
that by our lives we may preach Christ
and him crucitied to the whole world.

All who hold each other dear,
Each chair is flleI--we're all al home;
Tonight let no cold stranger come;

Bless then the meeting and the spot;
For once be every care forgot;
Let gentle peace assert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour;
We're all-all here.
We'ro sot all here!
Some are away--the dead ones dear,
Who thronged with US this ancient hearth,
AM! gave the hour to guiltless mirth.
Fate, viii. a stern, relentless hand,
Looked in and thinned our little band;
Some like night-aash passed away,
And some sank, lingering day by day;
The quiet grave yard--some lie there,
And cruel ocean has his share
We're not all here.
We are all here!
Even they Ohe iead) though dead, so dear;
Fond memory, to her duty true,
Brings back their faded forms to view.
How life-like, through the mist Of years,
Each well-remembered face appearsi
We see them as in times long past,
From each to each kind looks are cast,
We hear their words, their smiles behold,
They're round US as they were Of old
We are all here.
We are ell here!
Father, mother,
Sister, brother,
You that love with love SO dear;
This may not long Of us be said;
Soon must we join the gathered dead;
And by the hearth we now sit round,
Some other circle will be found.
Oh! then, that wisdom may We know,
Which yields life Of peace below;
So, in the world to follow this,
May each repeat in words Of bliss,
We are all-sll here?

CENTRAL AsIA.-Another Russian
war seems imminent in Central Asia.
In connection with what Russia has
accomplished in this field in so short
period, and what size may do in the fu
ture with her progress toward China
and British India, the British, German
and Russian press are paying marked
attention to the slightest indications.
The territory now involved is in Up
per Tartary, and formerly belonged to
China. 1t revolted three years ago,
and became independent. British
India bounds one side and the
Russian province OF Semipalatinsk
the other. The natives are not
predisposed to do whatever de-
signs nussi~ rl.-.s have, la.st- ara ,xLallx,
incompetent to answer her military
style Of argument. The business done
is considerable and sustains several an
nual caravans now. 1t is complement
ary to that which the Russians have
just created and would be invaluable
to them. The authorities of Tasch-
kend are preparing expeditions, ostens-
| IDLY Of commercial character. to ex-
anime the region at once. 1t they
report fayorabiy, it is understood that
weightier agencies will be put in mo-
ton. II they are assailca, Of course a
war must follow. We know compar-
atiyely little of the resources and value
of the region. 1t is highly estimated
by England and India. Il is contigu-
Gus to recent Russian acquisitions, and
1t it Will be lar from singular if its his
tory colors another chapter OF the
rapidly changing record Of Central
| Asia.
