What Stanley Did for Geography.


Stanley gave nine months TO the
exploration of the Lualaba, or
rather to the Livingstone, as ha
called it, aud as it must be called
for all time. Before he went out
on this mission we knew there were
two rivers-the Congo and the La-
alaba. We knew that the Congo
ran into the Atlantic ocean, but It's
source was lost in cataracts. The
Portuguese were content to scatter
few settlements about it's mouth,
and trade for gums and ivory along
its banks. But it was an unknown
river beyond the cataracts. We
knew there was a river in .he mid
die of Africa called the Lualaba;
we knew it had a swift curreut, that
1t was river of large volume.
But beyond that we knew nothing.
Some nad one theory, others had
another. Livingstone was con
yinced that it ran into the Nile,
was really the source OF tho Nile;
and who would question even the
theory of so great n master2 What
Stanley did was TO show that Ihe
Congo and Lualaba were one aud
the same; that the Congo, instead
of losing itself among the rapids,
was TO force itself nto the very
heart of the continent; that tho
Lualaba, instead of going north and
submitting TO the usurping waters
of the Nile, was TO turn TO the west
and force its way to the sea; that
these two rivers were to disappear
from the map. and be known as one
river-Ihe Livingstone; that this
river was to be 2o00 miles in length;
that for nearly ten degrees of lon
gitHde 10 was to be continuously
navigable; that its volume was l.
100000 cubic feet second; that
the entire area IL drains is 500, 900
square miles-in other words, that
here was an immense waterway
5000 miles into the center of Afri-
CA, navigable with the exception OF
two breaks, which engineering sci
ence can easily surmount--a water
way into n tropical empire, rich in
woods and metals and gracious soil,
in fruits and grains. the sure home
of a civilized empire In the years
to come. AS Peterman, the emf
neEt German geographer, puts it,
Stanley's work was TO unite the
fragments of African exploration
the achievements Of Livingstone,
Burton, Speke, Du Chaillu, Baker,
Cameron, Of all the heroic men who
had gone before him-into one CON
secutive whole, just as Bismarck
united the fragments Of the Ger
man people, lying about under va
rious princes and dukes, into one
grand and harmonius empire. Even
as Bismarck had created imperial
Germany, so Stanley created geo
graphical Africa. - John Russell
Young, in Harper's tor October.

Since the adjournment OF the last

Let US return to our story, to the
MANNED life of the lonely woman.
Wrecked by neglect of duty.
Wrecked through her infinite love
for her sonl So sensible, so con
siderate, so magnanimous, so help
full to others-yet the bright little
boy bequeathed to her with his afs
fectionate little heart, as last Leg
acy by dying husband, with prayer
full admonitions, what of him? Thus
it is, through cur tenderest affec-
tions we sometimes commit our
greatest errors! and our idolatry
brings its own punishment. Poor
heart broken mother! There she
sits looking off into the distance,
waiting for the shadows to length
en- OUT" and often with that star
tied look she now wears. as she
hears our footsteps approaching
her. Perhaps in memory she hears
the roll of wheels and the tramp Of
feet on their way to the scaffold !!
Sees the greedy, unfeeling mob
crowd round to look upon the con
vulsive throes of her flesh and blood
as he bangles in darkness, dying
withoxt God!
Look! she pushes back her white
cap border from her ear as if listen
ing! and her poor old face, over
shadowed with its long suffering,
is even as white as her cap. She is
listeningi it may be she hears her
son denouncing her as he did the
day he bid her his last farewell, and
as he did from the gallows charging
her with his cruel death in terms of
withering reproachi Memory and
the "accu sing angel are ever be.
side her. She lives in the Past!
See! what is it she takes out of her
pocket so stealthily? folds it upon
her lap, and lays her trembling,
withered hands over it so gently?
1t is the-Black Cap!W
Her head
has long been covered with the
SHOWS of winter that never melt.
The storm has been incessant and
pitIiess since the idolized child
walked from off the mothers toes
on to the mothers heart; but no
complaint comes from her mute
lips! Let us leave her sufferings
and her faults to Him who forgave,
not seven times. but seventy times
seven.
ITO whom but Thee?-All Merciful, All Justl
In life, in death, we yield Thee boundless
trust"

The Conscience and Future Judg-
Tnanf

The following beautiful lines were publish
ed originally in the Spectator, and suhse-
quently in Littelrs Living Age, of July 8, '76
/ sat alone with my conscience
In place where time had ceased;
And we talked of my former living,
In the land where the years increased.
And felt should have to answer
The questions it put to me;
And to face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghost Of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that l thought were dead things
Were alive with a terrible might.
And the vision of all my past life,
Was al awful thing to face
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And thought of far-away warning
Of sorrow that was to be mine,
In a land that then was the future,
But now is the present time.
And thought of my former thinking
OF the Judgment day to be;
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me.
And wondered if there was future
To this land beyond the grave;
Dub no Ou0 gave IL0 aI ausHeI3
And no one came to save.
Then felt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by;
For it was the thought of my past life
Grown into eternity.
Then ! awoke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision passed away;
And knew the far-away warning,
Was warning of yesterday.
And pray may not forget it,
In this land before the grave;
That may not cry in the future,
And no one came to save.
And so have learnt lesson,
Which | ought TO have known before;
And which, though learnt it dreaming,
hope to forget no more.
So sit alone with my conscience,
In the place where the years increase;
And try to remember the future,
In the land where time will cease.
And know of the future judgment,
How dreadful so e'er it be;
That to sit alone with my conscience,
Will be judgment enough for me.

A Cincinnati paper sneers at the
South for calling upon the north for
help In her sore calamity and insin-
yates that the doctrine of estates
rights" should hold good in this
case. In response to which, Rev. G.
X. Marshall of Yicksburg inquiries:
"Who are the sick and dying in
tins and other towns and cities in
the South? They are Israelites
from all parts of the old world ;
Irishmen, Germans, Swedes, English,
French, Italians-people from Maine,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut Yer
mont, New York, Ohio-yes. from
all over this continent. Letters
and kilograms from everywhere
abroad come asking after sons,
brothers, sisters, kinsfolk. We are

sick and convalescent, among whom
are few natives. Were ! out of this,
in New York or Kentucky, would
rather give ten thousand dollars
than do my daily tasks, and see

Mr.. Marshall thinks the plague
has not studied geography. and
that the day may yet come when
St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati
and even New York and Boston
will cry out for reliet. Then, he
saws, eve will pay them back.

There is one clause in the green
back platform which we desire to
give our special endorsement. We
are only sorry it was not part of
the democratic platform. We al
lude to the Sth article. in which it
is demanded that the legislature
prescribe the books for our public
schools and prohibit those frequent
changes which are so annoying and
expensive to parents. Many pa
rents are utterly unable to supply
their children with the books re-
quired by teachers. There is con-
slant change of teachers and con-
sequent change of books in our
public schools, which is burden
some upon many parents who have
a large number of children to edu-
cate. In the first place though, If
we were the Legislature, which we
hope never to be, we would either
amend the present public school
law so as to guarantee a public
school nine or ten months in the
year, or abolish it altogether. We
are in favor of education for the
masses, but think the present sys-
,em wholly inadequate.
