than trusted in the Lord for the success of his
enterprise, which from the human standpoint was
a foolhardy one. God has always prospered
special efforts for the promotion of His cause; We
are here to engage in special efforts for the edit-
cation of christians and the salvation of the un-
saved. The case Of Gideon was cited an illus,
tratlon of the truth of the text-his army WAS re-
duced from 81 1000 to 300; and with these
the Mldianites were utterly routed. We are
here, not to become more happy, but to Sc
cure better qualification for work. There IS a
mighty array of sin confronting every hand.
We need men who are willing to lap water. We
are not to trust in indications, but in God
we are weak, but we can have eur strength con-
stantly renewed; we need the amounting that
abideth working for Gods souls will keep the

greatly the losers. Some OF the most ehecual
preaching is done in our business associations
We can all put ON Christ; we can all be baptiscd
with the Holy Ghost. If the unconyerted are
here, why not come to-day Jesus is abeto save to

Notes from the Camp Ground.

Elchmond camp ground was probably the bust
est place on the river on Monday last. An unus-
ually large number came upon the ground the
first day. The committee was kept upon the run
pointing out lots and attending to the various
wants of the people. The first thing that i'm
presses one on his arrival upon the ground, is the
extensive additions onI improvements that have
been made since the last meeting was held
1t is becoming more and more ev ident that this
encsmpment is destined to become one of the
most popular in all the State as place for quiet
rest and spiritual improvement. 1t is SO easy OF
access, has such abundant shade, such exception
ally pure water, and its present arrangement is in
the hands Of men who are so capable, thoughtful
and courteous, that it must steadily grow in the
favor and patronage Of the people
The prospect is that the present meeting will be
more largely attended than any meeting that has
been held upon the grounds for several years Al

There was Grape hanging to q
door on Beaubien street yesterday
forenoon, and a boy or I years old
stood at the gate with pale face and
red eyes. A ragged tobacco-chew-
ing imp, about II years old, came
slamming along, and he was making
ready to stick his finger into the small
boys eye, through the bars of the
gate, when he caught sight of the
Grape.
"Some body dead ?" he asked.
"Yes, my pa" gasped the little one.
"Honkey ! that's tuf'w exclaimed
the imp, and he began searching his
pockets After discovering that his
personal property amounted to three
nails, an old cigar stub, and a clay
pipe, he said
"See here, bub, I'd like to give you
candy, or a knife, or somethin' to
kinder make you feel good but | can't
do it. I'm dead broke and feelin'
half sick, but I'll tell you what I'll do.

The Capital of Turkey.

Constantinopie is about thirteen
miles round, and is enclosed by walls
on the western or land side. The
Harbour" or Golden Horn, on the
north, divides it from Galata, and
the Bosphorous divides it from Scu.
tGri. These are properly but sub.
urbs, but make up the city of Con-
stantinople. 1t would be quite i'm
possible to imagine site better fit
ted for the building of an Imperial
city on. Nothing would seem to be
wanting; and it is no wonder that
the eye of the world is every now
and then fixed on it. The popula,
ton of this Imperial city is about
b alf million, and is made up of
somewhat motley group-of Greeks,
Jews, Armenians, Arabs, European
and Turks; the Turks making ny, as
it would seem, about one-half of the
population. 1t must be needless TO
say that the city stands on the site
of antique Byzantium, founded Csc
B.. c. But long before ByzantiGm
even there must have been a colony
of some sort 10 such spot as this,
and the first building on it (f human
habitaions must have been Of the
"stone age" and of rude men who
left no record. The Moslem divides
his day and night into twenty-four
hours, it is true, but his day begins
with the sunset. Az hour after SUM-
set is one O'Clock. 1t is at sunset,
that the "call to prayer is made from
the galleries of the mosque minarets,
and not any one stated or set hour,
and is thus made not little signifi-
cant. The absence of churches and
clocks, therefore, must make the city
strange if nothing else did so. Then
there is-what, indeed, was to be ex-
pected-the narrowness and tortuous
character of the streets and ways,
where anything in the way of plan
or arrangement never could have
crossed the minds of those who built
the house dwellings which line them.
They can only be compared to the
irregular way across an uneven field
with cottages built close to the edge
of it, as the traffic got year by year
10 be thicker and thicker. Each
street of the city is perfect zigzag,
and straight line il not to DO found.
Indeed, there is total absence of
"planning' in any sense. From east
to west the city is about three miles
and half, while from north TO south
it is about three miles. The Golden
Horn divides this main part of the
city from Galata on the north, while
the Bosphorus divides it from Scu-
tart. As to the streets Of CONSTANT
nople, they will but just bear the
name-they are rather long and
crooked lanes, with low timber built
houses and contrasted with like
streets here, with straight and uni.
formly bulls lines of brick 5niIt small
houses, would look but poorly.
Much is sacrificed, doubtless, to the
picturesque in the streets or ways of
Constantinople. An Oriental "ba.
zaar" is but little else than a cover
ed-in street, with goods exposed on
either side of it.

A Scotchman's Heroic Sacrifice.
rrom the cineinn.ti Sunday Democrat.

From the Cincinnati Sunday Democrat
Roderick Mackenzie. young gen.
tleman from the north of Scotland,
nearly OF the same ago with Prince
Charles, and who strongly resembled
him in person, was one of the many
who knew of the Protender's re-
treats, while the British Govern
ment set price upon his head, and
the British soldiers hunted HIM
through the relms of his fathers, and
he was one of the few who were per-
mitted to continue in his train, and
assisted in his numerous escapes.
One day, while the Prince was sit
ting with his little band of faithful
friends 10 o Highland cottage, the
alarm was given that troops were
closing around it. Escape was irn>
possible, but be was forcibly carried
by the. party into q hiding place,
and young Mackenzie remained firm
10 his stead. When the soldiers had
burst the door, he rose and walked
calmly up to them, saying, 81 know
whom You want-there-stab the
son of your king I'-and he threw
his plaid off his breast. Their swords
were instantly through the gallant
heart They then hacked off his
head. threw it into sack, and set

A Japanese Legend.

The Japanese have curious legend
of stone-cutter, who became discon-
tented with his lot in life. He first
expressed the very common wish, ooh !
that were rich" This being grant,
ed by the gods, he next wished to be-
come a king, so that he might have
power. In this station he still found
a source of discomfort, so, after many
changes,he wished to become a rock,
which even the floods could not move.
This being granted, he, for a time,
enjoyed his newly acquired power,
for neither the burning sun, rushing
wind nor roaring flood had power TO
move him. But one day man with a
sharp chisel and heavy hammer came
along, and began to cut stones out of
the rock, and the rock said "What
is this, that the man has power over
me, and can cut stones out of my
bosom? / am weaker than he. l
should like to be that manw And
then came an angel out of heaven, who
said: ''Be this as you have said" and
the rock became stone cutter, and
he cut stones with hard, labor for small
wages, and was contented.- Catholic

friction OF the rocks, caused by the
peculiar cooling of the earth and the
consequent shrinkage, is sufficient
and satisfactory explanation of the
high temperature of volcanic action.
Tho theory of the earth's solidty
has also been adopted by that dis
tinguished geologist, Sir VIM. Thorn

ciusion originally arrived at by Hop.
kins, relative to the solidity of the
earth, is in fact borne out by more
rigorous mathematical treatment
than that physicist was able to apply;
so that the idea of biologists, who
have been in the habit Of explaining
underground heat, ancient upheavals
or modern volcanoes by the exist,
ence Of comparatively thin solid
shell resting on an interior liquid
mass, must now be given up as un-
tenable.

Bait for the Potatoe Beetle.

By putting small heaps OF bruised
potatoes here and there in the field,
early in the spring, and sprinkling
the heap with little Paris green,
the labor of fighting the Colorado
potatoe beetle may be lessened a
thousand fold, aud the chances of
crop of potatoes correspondingiy IN
creased. The bug begins to fly the
first warm days, long before pota-
to top is in sight. Ii appears 10 be
taking general survey and cog;tat-
ing on main chances At this early
day its appetite is keen and il will
smell. bruised potato long way.
The heaps should be visited every
day or two and tho potatoes re.
bruised and sprInkled to keep up the
odor If the sun be very hot, the
heaps should be shaded from the d.
rect rays, or the potatoes will soon
dry and make poor bait. According
TO entomologists, one beetle may be
the mother of millions in single
season. If this be true or one-tenth
true, it will be seen that much is gain
ed by giving the prolific mother a
bite of green before she lays an egg.
1t is astonishing how many bugs can
be killed at one small heap. Any
small worthless potatoes will do.
Care should be taken to place the
heaps where stock cannot get to
to Thorn, and above all, every farmer
and overy one owning garden
work in concert.-D. A. c., In ". Y.
