Jamaica.

Late advices from this important is
land of the British West India group
state that the Colonial Government Of
fers to guarantee tile interest on $3,-
O,OOU to be expended in constructing
a railroad from Kingstot, the principal
seaport, situated on the south coast, to
the foot of the mountains, and thence
across the island to Falmouth, on the
north side, and then to Montego Bay,
on the northwest. The Government
also PROPOSES to pay for the transmits
sion of daily telegraphic summary of
political and commercial news from
New York, to be published in the ia
maica journals. The telegraph cable
between Kingston and Aspinwall, it
may be remembered, does not work,
and the efforts to repair the fault have
hitherto proved Intellectual. The tele-
gragh fleet recently sent out ON this
task has Just returned to Kingston,
without any news of the lost cable, ard
also reporting the loss of their grap-
pling gear. Sir Charles Bright, the cele-
brated electrician, who has just arrived
at Kingston, from England, is to go out
in search of the lost cable, after thor
oughly refittiag the vessels of the expe-
dition. The telegraphic communica-
ton with the West Indies and with
South America, it is stated, will also be
kept up by line of cable to run from
Aspinwall to the Danish island of st.
Thomas. A line of cable now runs from
st. Thomas to New York, by way Of the
island of Bermuda. On August 22d n
monthly steamer, subsidized by the Ja-
maica Government at the rate of $22.-
500 per annum. commenced running
between Kingston and New York.

Borrowing Trouble.

1t is uncomfortably true that there is
almost as much distress of mind expert.
enced In tile anticipation as iii the re-
aliaation of trouble. About half of
our unhappy days are OccasiOned by
our looking forward to the unhappiness
of the other half.
"Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" We need never take another
jOt OH credit, In borrowing trouble,
natural laws are reversed mere mole
hills of annoyance become mountains
when viewed at a distance ahead. Some
tranquil times the dread of coming
change is always in the way of their
enjoyment.
1 know of one family who was for
ever expecting to move; consequently,
neelecting to make garden, repair the
house, or permanently arrange the
furniture. At the latest advices, this
family had lived in the same house
eleven years.
1t we take things as they come, We
shall usually find that they come much
better than We have any right to eX-
pect.
Our anticipatory flags of distress may
have been inviting compassion and
flinging patches of darkness over many
q bright scene for months, for us to
find al la that we have been guilty of
neeIlessly, we might say criminally,
rObbing ourselves and others of the
happiness rightfully belonging to us
and to them.
Borrowing trouble is sometimes
only another name for selfishDess for
the one borrowing trouble is seldom
satisfied unless all within his or her
influence are inveigled into the loan.
1t is holding dangerous serpent in
our hearts, that grows with what it
feeds upon. 1t is sinful, for it is abiding
distrust of Gods goodness.

Thy Brothers Blood.
GENESIS 4: 10; PSALM 9:I2.


Thy brothers. blood thy brothe, IS blood
1t crielh 1ome from the ground;s
And when unerring search is msde,
Where shall Its crimson stain be fund?
1t may not call from lonely field,
From forest dark, or rocky dell;
The cry may soand from village street
Or crowded thoroughfaue as we'll.
There is woe to him who builds 3
A Town with violence or wrong;
Who proudly sets his nest on high,
And in his neighbor's spoil grows strong.
There Is n woe 10 him who puts
The bottle to his neighbor's lips: =
Who Aeeks TO cover guilt with gold
His sun shall find sure eclipse.
From bligh'ed homes comes up the cry,
FROM starving orphans buIsts The call,
From ruined manhood IS Ieeling step,
From tempted cbiIdhood's fatal fail.
With step erect. and fame untouched,
In robes by feiIow-men held fair,
Above his victims blool- stained path,
His foe may walk without a care
But when He comes whose practiced eye
Inquire for blood, Twill then be vain
To cover DER or seek to cleanse
From redhued skirts the fatal stain.
1t crieth to me from the ground;
Al q when unerring search Is made.
Whore shall the crimson stain be found?

Colds.

We cannot be OO'careful in our treat
ment of a cold, as it often proves the
herald of a graver illness. If a cold
settles on the outer coverings of the
lungs, it becomes pneumonia, inflama-
ton of the lungs, or lung fever, which
in many cases carries the strongest
man to his grave within week. If a
cold falls upon the inner coverings of
the lungs, it is pleurisy, with its knife
like pains and its slow, very slow, re-
cOveries. If cod settles i'm the joints,
there Is rheumatism in its various
forms; infiamatOry rheumatism with
its agOnies of pain, aud rheumatism of
the heart, which in an instant some
times snap ps the cords of life with no
friendly warning. 1t is of the utmost
practical importance, then, to know
not how so much to cure cold as how
to avoid it. Colds al'vavs come from
one cause, some part of the whole body
being colder than natural for time.
If a man will keep his feet warm al
ways, and never allow himself to be
chilled, he will never take cold in a
lifeline, and this can only be accom-
p'ished by due care in warm ciOthiug
and the avoidance of draughts and un-
due exposure. While multitudes of
colds come from cold feet, perhaps the
majority arise from persons cooling OIL
too quickly after becoming little
warmer than is natural by exercise or
work, or from confinement to a warm
apartment. fla cold be accompanied
b, cough, remedies should instantly
be brought to bear upon it, as this
symptom is a fOrerunner of c0nsump-
ton. Linseed is recommended as a
cure for a consumptive cough. ltshould
he boiled TO the consistency OF a jelly,
and sweetened with honey or sugar.
Two large tablespoonfuIs should be
taken when the cough is about to at
tack the sufferer.
