EXTENDING, AMERICAN TRADE The
United States representatives in foreign
countries 60 the trade circulars fthe State
Department are in perfect harmony on one
important point. Wherever American
goods are in but limited demand-and
there are many countries where the de
mand for them is inconsiderable--the fact
is attributed to the inferior character Of the
goods offered in competion with those Of
other countries. Hence England, Ger
many and France hold the supremacy,
and even where American goods, whether
natural products or manufacturers are
among the necessities of trade, they are
often introduced through English, German
or French agencies or middlemen, and
some foreign newspaper correspondents
state, are frequently sold as the products Of
these countries. 1t is also alleged that
many inferior manufacturers Of European
production are sold in some countries sas
American thus tending to further damage
the reputation Of our manufactures. Be
this as IT may, ourconsular and diplomatic
officers all state that one Of the main es-
ssntials to the increase of our trade abroad
is to present first class goods at rates az
good as or better than English or other
manufacturers can supply them. To this
ofcourse, mast be added the essentials Of
commercial activity and advertising, and
an this also our foreign agents are all
agreed, a proper understanding with for
eign countries through the medium Of fair
and judicious commercial treaties being
understood.

Shall We Have IT.

The minds of many in our churches seem
Just now to be turned, with great hope and
desire, towards the Week of Prayer in Jan
uary. The old idea of it as a time of prayer
for the manifestation of the Holy Spirit to
the church and to the world, and the old
belief that a blessing will follow it upon the
church and the world-these seem to be, in
a measure, revived of late, to the great Joy of a
few who are Jealous for the kingdom of their
Lord. Some see in this disposition to come
back to the original meaning and object of
the Week of Prayer-in former times so
richly blessed of God-the "cloud no big
ger than mans hand" which to shed its
showers over the whole world. The church
is certainly looking, with unusual interest
and hope, towards those few days early in
the new year, when Christians will, "with
one accord in one place" here and there
throughout the world, call upon the Lord
their God. But what is t. make this Week
of Prayer in 1879 a time to be remembered
by the church or by the world? There can
be but one reply, so far as we know, to this
question - United, earnest, importunate
asking of God for what the church wants,
and the world needs-asking in such fash
ion that the answer will come. And this is
the answer we desire, O people of God
"Great is your faith; be it unto you even
as you will" There is a kind of pleading
which the Lord cannot resist now any more
than when he was on earth-cdnnot because
to yield to 1t, and give the longed-for bless
ing, is in accordance with his nature and the
fulflment of his promise. That sort of
pleading, then, in the coming Week col
Prayer, will bring the answering benedic-
tion, without the shadow OF doubt What
sort is it ? 1t is whole-souled, persevering
believing, with the cry, ." will not let thee
go except thou bless me-" in the heart and
on the lips. Neither cold, nor drowsy MOI
world-alloyed, nor doubt-clogged petitions
will be likely to shake themselves clear Of
earth, and mount up to the throne of God
No; not even when the Master is very near
listening with wondrous patience to hi
children, ready quickly to grant every re
quest that meets the conditions on which
he can grant it. All the timd, whispered
petitions which he answered when on earti
were those of faith, and love, and earnest
ness. The petitioners wdnted something
j aud they asked it of him. We want some
e thing for the church, and for "world dy
, ing in wickedness." Shall we not ask TO
y what we want AS if we wanted it, as If W
Q MUST HAVE IT, OR DIE? Shall we not as
n for the Holy Spirit so that God must give
II to us, in the fulfilling of his promise 2

A Wasted Life.

have seen mothers grief for the loss of
an only child, cut down like beautiful
flower which was unfolding new beauty
every day-a passionate grief at the I'M
timely taking off of her darling; a father so
bowed down with anguish that he was ready,
like Job, to exclaim, "My afiliction is greater
than can bear" when a SOMA young man
of great promise, and the support and COM
fort of his declining years, had been taken
away; loved ones consigned to the grave,
leaving the weeping friends stricken dumb
by their bereavement. Disease in some Of
its worst forms. and most dreadful effects
all these have | seen, but never have | been
so moved, never has all the sympathy of my
nature been so stirred as by the spectacle of
a face and the sound of voice whose owner
had wasted his energies and had allowed the
golden moments of his youth to pass unim-
proved. His early years gave promise of
future usefulness, and distinction in almost
any calling to which his youthful ambition
might lead him. and at the last-when it was
too ate-we hear him sigh, A wasted life J"
| looked into that face and saw the wrinkles
stamped there by the hand of time, who had
not neglected his duty. The face had once
been noble and intellectual the eyes still
retained some of the fire and glow of youth
The wrinkled brow contracted painfully, and
| noticed that the palsied hands grew tremu
lous with excitement, while his lips quivered
and his eyes swan in tears as he sorrowfully
dwelt on his past life. / was compelled to
silence, because no words of mine could com
fort him. He turned his face heavenward ;
perhaps he saw visions of his youth-of a
time when he might have broken away from
every temptation; when his mind, like the
young tree under whose sheltering branches
we were sitting, was tender and plant. Per-
haps he saw in the dark clouds above us
visions of Gods wrath for the misspent days,
lost without sigh. Surely he had not
obeyed the injunction of the wise, What
soever thy hand fndeth to do, do with all
thy might; for there is no work, nor device,
nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave,
whittier thou goest." Perhaps this thought
made his reflections bitter. His was a giant
intellect, but he had allowed it to grow feeble
and runt through inactivity. IL was tuu late
now; already the weight of years hung
heavily upon him; the elasticity of youth
had departed from his step. For all the
use he had made of that heaven-presented
gift-the immortal mind--the brain of an
idiot would have answered as well ; a dwarfed
stature as well as the tall and finely formed
frame. What words of comfort could have
been offered to one who had thus spent his
life? 1t would seem like mockery to offer
any. Here was literal fulfilment of the
text, Every man shall bear his own bur
dens"-Seiected.

Those who knew John Phgnix (Lieuten'
ant Derby)-knew him as we did, said a
San Francisco paper-will be glad to read
the following striking anecdote, so character
istic OF his noble nature. All who knew Derby
will remember that there was nothing about
him or his humor resembling those sour,
discontented, practical jokers so naturally
and justly tabooed IN society. Good nature
and good fellowship he ever cherished and
beyond these, save in the way of harmless
mirth, he never swerved. 1t was not in
him. His power of face was something
wonderful, aud this is sufficiently tested by
the following anecdote lie was sitting one
evening in the guests lolling-room OF the
old Oriental hotel, when little beggar girl
came in, and with the keen discerument of
little people in general, noticed his child
loving, benevolent countenance, and ap-
preached him, asking aims. She was very
young, innocentlooking, and had none OF
the juvenile whine or persistency of most
young mendcants whom one meets in the
streets and in the halls of our public hotels
Phoenix at once assumed mourntul express
sion of face, and began to talk, as II wers
confdentially and aifec.ionately to her lie
told her that his father was long since dead
aud that he was now left entirely alone IL

Panl the Apostle.

st. Paul was not one of those who heard
Christ give his last command to his assem-
bled disciples, yet what model of all mis-
sionaries From that day on which, blind
and trembling, with the scars of Gods own
thunder on his SOUL he had staggered into
the streets of Damascus, what q tragedy en-
compassed him of ever-deepening gloom
Those flights from assassination, the hot
disputes at Antioch, the expulsion from
lconium, the stoning at Lystra, the quarrel
with his own hearts brother, the acute
spasms of that implement at Galatia, the
agony in Macedonia of outward fghtings
and inward fears, of the five Jewish scourg-
ings, the three Roman hagellations, the pol
ished scorn of Athens, the factious violence
OF Corinth, the gnashing fury Of Jewish
mobs, the illegal violence of provincial tri-
bunals,--these were but fragment of his
trials and miseries. He seemed to have
found no result from all his labors, no re-
ward for all his sacrifice. He seemed for
gotten by the very churches he had founded.
See the bent, gray, weak old man led by the
soldiers along the Appian road; see the
sword flash and the head fall and which,

ren could have dreamed that to that mar

cent than the Capitolan Jupiter should

the world that he was then but little boy,
with nobody TO look TO, and often had not
known where to sleep at night. The little
girls blue eyes began to moisten the lolling
guests, most of whom knew Lieutenant
Derby, gathered around; when what was
their surprise TO see the poor, sympathetic
beggar.child go close up to him, and. in
quiet, confidential way take out Of the in
side pocket OF her soiled and tattered frock,
all the money which she had gathered
through the day, aud place IL in his hand.
II is needless TO say that the tender-hearted
and courageous little donor of her hard days
earnings had not only her small yet great
benefaction restored, but went away with
great possessions. educed from the pockets
of the sympathetic bystanders.

PRAIsE.-A true man will not take kindly
to the overbearing praise of a well. meaning
but ignorant patron. This sort of eulogy
affords little encouragement, although there
may be times when 1t is prudent to accept
for lack of better. But, if the condescend-
ing approval of the ignorant patron be un-
welcome, that of the parasite is, or ought to
be, very much more so. That man must
have gross craving for bad food who can
accept the fulsOme batteries OF the syco-
phant and persuade himself that he is TAX
ing wholesome nourishment. To abstain
from indignant protest at the first offer of
such stuff argues either weakness OF charac-
ter or dullness of perception but to swallow
it and then evince readiness to accept more
is to confess to utter depravity of taste.

Mothers Own Daughter.

1t will not detract from the interest and
affection with which the Princess Louise
will be received throughout Canada that
she shed many tears when parting from her
English home and friends. The newspapers
say it was because she must leave the so
cietyth parties, art-ge lleries and concerts Of
London. To us it seems more likely that the
daughter of her mother cried bitterly when
she left home for some of the same reasons
that have caused many an emigrant and
colonist to weep. 1t is like cutting in two
the thread of life to leave the home of ones
childhood, with its familiar surroundings
and fond endearments, whether that home
be palace or a cottage. 1t is a change so
abrupt and painful that human nature must
be other than it is not to weep. Whatever
the causes of these removals and however
different the social plane on which they take
place, the whole world is akin in this, and,
BE it a weakness, it deserves some praise,
We love the play-pace OF our youthful days,
1t is well that the royal family of England
should thus be brought into sympathy with
almost the entire people of America in that
universal grief that tinges the life of both
parents and children when it seems inevita-
BILE that the latter should leave home to do
their life-work further toward the setting sun
