LIvINGsTONE-HIs PROBABLE FATE
At the final fortnightly meeting of the ses-
sion of 1s69-70 of the Royal Geographical
Society of England, in London, June 14th,
Sir r. Murchisen referred to the present
position of DR.. Livingstone and the succOr
which is to be sent to him.
He said There have been great misap-
prehensions about this affair, and have
received numerous applications from active
young men anxious to go in search of DR..
Livingstone, supposing that there was a
real expedition about to start from this
country or elsewhere. There is no such
expedition, even in imagination, and GER
tainly none in reality, contemplated in any
way. DR.. Livingstone has been more than
three years and a half in the heart of
Africa, without single European attend
ant. / am not sure that the sight of a
young gentleman sent out from England,
who was not acclimatized, would not pro-
duce very bad effect instead of good
one upon my friend the doctor, because he
would have to take care of the new arrival,
who would very soon die there, and the
poor doctor would have an additional load
l have, therefore, to announce that there is
no such intention whatever. | have re-
ceived dozen letters from admirable young
volunteers, who are anxious to distinguish
themselves, but who have not the least idea
Of what they are about. I have every rea-
son to believe that the 81 ZOO that the gov
eminent has given will 60 out by the Con-
sui of Zanzibar, who happens, accidentally,
to be in this country, and who is going out
Immediately. He will instruct DR.. Kirk,
the Vice Consul, to refit the same expedi-
ton which was started before, but which
was impeded by an attack of cholera. The
cholera has passed away entirely, the coun-
try is free from Zanzibar, and the only diff
ficulty now is to get to Ujiji, where my
dear and valued friend was and still is, for
he cannot move forward or backward with
out carriers, supplies, and so forth. 1t will
take two months or more for those supplies
to go from the seaboard to Ujiji, therefore
you must put aside all anxiety for some
months to come. 1 hope in about seven
or eight months hence you will hear good
news, and that very soon after that We
shall see our friend again in his native
country.

LINES SUGGESTED WHILE LOOKING ON LIT
TIE CHARLIE IN HIS LAST CALM SLEEP.
Lovely babe, why didst thou go?
What was thy mission here below?
Thy gentle spirit merely came
Then took to flight and off again.
Was this rude world SO dark and drear,
Thou couldst not venture to stay here,
Where evil passions are so rife,
And little else save sin and strife?
Thy pure spirit could not long stay
Within its slight tenement of clay,
But winged its way to he at rest,
And nestle in the Saviour's breast,
Who bid thee hence come to Him,
AS thou hast never, never sinn'd:
spirit congenial to his own,
An angel lowering around the Godhead
throne,
Thy saraphic harp tuned to praise
The great Am-Ancient of Days:
Thy calm smile, serenely bright,
Now illumes the realms of light,
A babe of Paradise thou art
Peace, be still, our Maynard hearts,
The little Lambkin is at rest,
A musings on the Saviour's breast.
