1t is not accidental, but proyidential
that Gods people without concert are
holding meetings to promote both these
interests ut the same time. God prompts
his people to certain measures which
are for man good and his glory. Il chris
tian has good reason to be alarmed, if
he is not in lively sympathy with; and
is not willing TO labor for every enter
prise that viii likely better mans con-
dition temporarily land brighten his pros
poets for eternity.
We think the basket system protera
bic to the old one adopted by our n. &.
friends.

the phrase that they "belonged" to any
party. They prefer the euphuism "at-

The Japanese youths.who have gone

recorded in Yokohama, where a Japan

and though they pronounced his CONVEX

than any pupil in the college, he was
unable to answer questions in the vari-

They find the spots in The marshes
where the ducks hntld!c together at
night. ana make descent upon them.
Frequently. wLiic ilocks OF great fat
ducks arc swimming in the deepest part
OF n river or lake, an alligator will glide
under the ducks and select those that
suit him best. They are drawn under
the water SO quietly that the flock is not
startled for some time, and the alligator
manages to secure square meal before
he is suspected. On summer nights,
the alligator crawls to chosen spot in
the marshes. The air is filled with mil
lions OF mosquitoes. The monster opens
his enormous mouth and keeps his Jaws
apart until the inside of mis- mouth is
black with insects. Then he brings his
jaws together with snap. runs his
tongue about the inside of his mouth
and swallows his winged visitors. He
will keep this up until his appetite is
satiased.

objections Of the Times, there is an in

The great bulk of tue carpet bag debts
were never authorized by the Southern
people, in whose name they were con.

equivalent consideration has ever been
received. If paid at all, they ought to
be paid by the principal from whom the
agents who contracted them derived
their authority. That principal is none
other than "the beet Government the
