that virtuous city is deacon at all. What non

come dcacons ly industry and picty, aud others

is deacon of that church in which only
good and true men and women are members.
When was he made doacong continues
this wretch. We don't know; but we suspect
that it was TnE SrX which first discovered the
fact that he was a nGtural-bo-n deacon, and gave
him the title boldly before all the world But at
any rate, instead Of diSputing that Mr.. SmTH Is a
deacon. the EaqNirsr would do we'll to devote
itself TO the conversion aud reformation Of bis
associates in business. They are bad men, with
bad hearts. and the truth is not in them and
they often make Deacon SHIrH appear to say
things most repusnant to his honest nature. If
the writer Of the EtQ4irer can 10 these unfor-

The World for Jesus.

Christianity is essentially aggressive, and
the business Of Christ's followers is not so
much to save it, as to scatter abroad the
leaves of its tree Of life, so as to be instru-
mental in saving the world by it, Judaism
was testimony, but the gospel is leaven.
We may see this in its very geographical
distribution. So we find it at Jerusalem,
Just before the dispersion of Israel; then
among the restless Greeks, with the colonies
everywhere, and commercial transactions ev-
erywhere, and a philosophical influence over
ali realms of thought; and then in Rome, the
heart Of the Old World. Then Britain and
America, the centres Of commerce-haye be-
come the chief depoitories of this saving
light, Just because it was not TO be preserved
merely, but always to be diffused. Are we
then rising To the level Of our opportunity ?
Let US remember the so-called " dark ages "
the Abbott Columbia, the monk Angus
tine, and the thousands who rushed from the
Irish cells and wattled huts on lonely isles F;
or the Romish priests, and knights and
scholars of the fifteenth century who followed
Xavier to the East, or Nobrega to Paraguay
and as we think Of their zeal, and courage,
and sacrifice, and faith, and love of souls,
aud love of our Lord, if these were children
Of darkness, are we walking like children Of
the lightq 1t is worth little serious con-
sideration whether our " clear views" and
committees, and collections present after all
50 grand spectacle or to do so great a work
as the brave and solemn enthusiasm of those
great-hearted men.

It was hard to persuade the fisherman

1t was hard to persuade the fisherman !;
but after much coaxing, he consented.
" | shall lose a day, little daughter" said
hoi but thou shalt have thy own way this
time"
Towards evening an old boat was ready !
and as they pushed of from the shore, the
setting sun just tinged the green sea, which
was now calm as any lake.
" How far are we from land now ?"
" Maybap q mile or two, child"
"Oh pray 60 a little further ~
They watched the sun sink down, as it ap'
peared into the waters and then the moon
rose higher and higher until it shone full upon
the boat wherein sat the fisherman and his
daughter The white sail looked like a sheet
Of light; and as for little Nora with her up
turned eyes, she so much resembled one Of
the ocean fairies, that | wonder they did not
rise from the deep and claim her as their own
Now, father let me throw in the net"
That will be a splendid haul, I'll be
bound, " said he, laughing but patiently graft
flying her whim.
" ! cannot draw it in again, father You
must do that"
Why how heavy it is, Nora. 1t must
be right full of fish,
There was not a single fish, but in their
place heavy bag that looked as if it was
made Of gold
Now let US hasten and steer homeward,
father"
The fisherman was as anxious as his daugh-
ter, and did not wait for a second bidding.
WIFE wife, hurry up, he called, as they
reached the land And you should have
seen how eagerly they all gathered around
while the clasps Of the box were
uniastencd and the lid thrown back, In
it lay little lot of gold coins, 20, enough to
make them proud and selfish and unhappy
but Just sufficient to buy the fisherman anoth.

himself an honest living. And being an in.
dustrious worker in course of time the fisher.
man built cottage near the sea, owned a
number Of fine large boats, and gave employ
ment to all the poor men in the cabins around
and kind-hearted little Nora, grown up to be
sweet-faced, intelligent girl, took care that
their children were all made happy and com.
Portable.
And if ever the Fairy visits the fisherman:
home again, instead of black, smoky rafteri
and the old, patched garments hanging round
she will see a pretty, light room, the paper
all covered with lilies and roses with beauti
fu pictures decorating the walls,-one oi

Japan and the japanese.

Jeddo, the capital city Ofthe Empire ofJa-

said to be one of the finest cities in the world.
The streets are wide and clean, and the fine
views of the Gulf Of Jeddo, with the high

The Emperor lives in the middle Of the town,
in the CASTLE, surrounded by three walls or
enclosures The mobiles and great people all
have very fine houses, built principally Of
wood, carved, succeed, and ornamented.
These houses are generally built in squares,
the middle being the residence of the owner,
the rest those Of servants, dependents, etc.
The gardens surrounding these places are
laid out in good taste every bit of ground
taken advantage of, and minnie effects Of seem

etc.. very well got up. s.'.5 s.i
The Japanese bestow great care on the
growth and culture of timber trees Tho
cedars grow to great height; the oak tree,
the mulberry tree--many towns live entirely
upon the silk maufacture-then the urusi or
varnish tree, of which the people make the
