TnE New York Herald has COM
menced the publication of q series Of
letters from Stanley describing bis
Journey of eighteen hundred miles
on the Lualaba or Congo river in
Central Africa; which drains an area
of $50, 700 squar miles of fertile com
try. The length of this river, Stan.
lev says, is about 1900 miles, and
it's volume of water large enough to
make three Niles. The Congo river,
he continues, is the Amazon Of At
RIGA; and the Nile is the Mississippi.
Though the Nile is most valuable
river for commerce, the Congo is
still better, and, once above its lower
cataracts, we have tho half of Africa
in one vast populous plain before Us.
The Congo basin produces in great
abundance cotton, india rubber,
eroundnu.s, sesamum, red and white
oopal. palm kernels, palm oil and
| iyory. Here is rich field that
! commerce is bound TO penetrate.

The HER A Id.
OUTWARD BOUND.

Floating. floating, from dawn to dusk,
Till the peary twilight dies.
And the mists float up from the sapphire sea
And cloud all the sapphire skies.
Floating, floating, while golden stars
Seem to float in overhead,
And starry lights from a sea below
Glow orange, and purple, and red
Till we seem floating out from the sea of life,
The tempests of passion the storm winds of strife
Out into strange, mysterious space,
Till God shall find us a landing place.
Drifting, drifting to lands unknown,
From a world of love and care,
Drifting away TO a home untried,
And heart that is waiting there.
o ship sail swiftly-0 waters deep
Bear me safe to that haven unknown
Safe TO the tender love that waits
To be forever my own;
Till we drift away from the sea of life,
The tempests Of passion, the stormWinds OF strife
Ont to haven, out to a shore
Where life is love forevermore.-GOOd Words,

virtues They correct diseased action IN
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-

and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
