aged l9 years, shot and killed his father.
Mansfield Tracy WalwCrth at the Sturte-
want House, New York city. After CON-
hitting the deed he. gave himself up and
seemed satisfied that he had done an act
of which his conscience approved. At
the Coroner's trial, and before being COM
mitted to prison, young Walworth said:

LEARNING HEAVENS ALPHABET
We saw ragged lad in the street, un~
kept, untaugbt, rude, gro7elling. Our
Christian sympathy was touched. Imi-
tating Christ, we set to work to transform
him, and in course of time we had the
satisfaction TO see him grow up and de-
velop into a man of intelligence, worth,
and piety. All this was done by our
only Initiating the spirit of Christ. And
should we be able to perform more than
the infinite love and tenderness of the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ T?
If any persisted, il was the perishing of
the beast-destruction. Down IN the
South one could see slaves seventy years
Of age sitting over their books learning
A, 3, O. And in the other life We should
see slaves of sin sitting in heaven learns
ing the alphabet. Better to start at the
bottom of heaven than not at all.
i've LOST HIN Forever T.
How many parents were there, Mr..
Beecher said, who lived in perpetual sor-
row, and went mourning day and night
because their soma young maH-had
died without giving evidence of a saving
change. I've lost him forever" they
say 81 don't know how it is with YOU"
said Mr. Beecher, with the tears choking
his voice, "but my sun would 20 out and
leave all dark if | thought such a thing
The dropping away of child to join that
process sion-to enter that life of infinite
l.
willing 10 say. Would God l. were ac>
cursed from Christ to save thee, my sonP
Where there Is germ of good in it,
don't believe soul is going to be thrust
away by that hand that was pierced. l
don't believe that that love which was
shown in Christ is going to throw away
one soul with germ of good in it. And
so | hope-l hope.
This subject ought to comfort those
unable in this world to resist temptation,
yet desiring to do So There was hope
for them in the future, though there
seemed none now.
NATURE HELPED MAN.
His passions died out Man q man
calling himself sinner had that in him
worth saving, which might give him
place--not high up-but still place to
grow in in heaven.
Let us, then, go to our daily business,
believing that there was germ God
would not let die out unless we ruthlessly
trod it under foot and put it out. Let us
remember that if we bore to the throne
of God-not that which was perfect, but
what was worth planting-nOt one germ
would God throw away. Let US not think
that by any mystic sOrcery or secret
change we could become heirs of heaven.
There was warning for the over conf
dent as well as comfort for the imperfect
and simple.
A short prayer and hymn closed the
service. Mr.. Beecher spoke with great
power, and the audience were affected to
tears repeatedly. At the close, lady
who had listened with deep emotion to
the discourse, stood up and said aloud to
the preacher with streaming eyes. God
bless you, sir, for that noble sermon.

About The supDIv of Cotton

<
The Memphis Avalanche says however
reports may conflict 10 detail, the results,
as far as known, Of the new cotton crop
in British India, taken altogether. are
regarded as unsatisfactory. The decline
in price is reported as having produced
a depressing influence on production, and
unless an advance should be established
it is expected that there will be serious
dimiuution in the are a devoted to cultiva
ton. 1t is also found that the condition
Of labor is much less favorable than in
the United States. Although the South
ern planters may have too substantial
grounds for complaint respecting the eff
fects of political excitement upon negro
industry, yet their position seems almost
enViable when compared with that Of the
Indian cultiyators. The IIindoo rclig~
ious festivals frequently occur in the
height of the cotton season aod are long
drawn out, and at such periods it is Ut
terly impossible to induce the natives to
work on any terms. These and other
facts point to the conclusion that, for the
present at least, there are not sufficient
grounds for experimenting that American
cotton is likely TO be superseded for mary
years to come by foreign competition.
At the same time, however, it would be
folly to overlook the fact that this foreign
competition is in q condition to be i'm
mensely stimulated by any material en-
haucement of prices resulting from war,
short crops, increased demand or any of
the various causes that would be likely to
promote that event.

STOKES The New York Court Of A p
peals, where Stokes had sent his case for
a final hearing, with regard to the ques-
ton of a new trial, is adverse to bis in
terests and hopes. The Louisville Led
ger says Stokes is as good as hanged al

Young, educated, well connected, with
capacities we'll calculated to advance So
ciety and bless mankind, he is to be hang

The expense account of the Geneva
arbitration, which has just been audited
and settled at the Treasury Department
foots up $4,000. This includes law
yers' fees, travelling expenses and every
thing. As the United States got an award
of Sl5,500,000, and came creditably out
of what at certain stages seemed very
threatening prospect of war with Great
Britain, this must be considered very
cheap settlement.
