FROM THE ST. THOME TIpENDE'

The Demerara Col0HiSt of 3rd March has
evidently been duped by al ignorant or
malicious correspondent in ST. CroiX, as
our readers, who are familiar with tie true
condition Of the planters and labourers III
that Island at the present time, will
observe from the following item clipped
from that paper:
"By private advices received from st.
Croix we learn that the riots iii that island
have been succeeded by a thorough disoI-
ganisation OF the %labouring classes. 1t is
next to impossible to obtain labour on the
estates and the planters are bidding wildly
against each other for what little there IS
to be had. The effect OF this unfortunate
state of affairs has already made an I'M
~mistakable impression on the value of real
estate; property in the island is now not
worth a quarter OF what it was ten years
ago. The last hope of the planters is that
the Danish Government will take steps
to supply them with coolie immigration,
failing this absolute ruin StareS them III
the face
1t is perhaps a waste of ink FOR us to say
that the person who furnished the above
.tprivate advices" to the C0l0aiSG has not
the slightest regard for truth, and that he
most shdmefully ISLANDERS the planters and
labourers of that Island. If it will prevent
the Oolonist from being again led into com
uniting such a blunder, we shall take
great pleasure in saying that the riots in
that Island have not "been succeeded by
n thorough disorganisation of the labour-
ing classes" that the planters are not
+" bidding wildly against each other for
what little labOur there is to be had )"
that the effect OF this unfortunate state of
affairs has not "already made an unmis-
taxable impression on the value of real
estate;" that the last hope of the planters
is not "that the Danish Government will
take steps to supply them with coolie immi-
grafton" We will even go further, and
say that the advices we have from St.
Croix, furnished by reliable parties, are to
the effect, that the relations existing
between the planters and ~labourers, ere as
good as could be expected in such g short
time after the abolition of the stringent
1aDour regulations that existed previous to
the riot. 1t may possibly be true that a
few more labourers might find employ
menr on estates, but we very much doubt
1t. In consequence of a succession of small
crops and low prices, planters have not,
as a rule, a sufficient amount of capital to
employ more labourers than they can
obtain on the island. In a few instances
planters may offer q bonus to secure the
teerE1eefs OF certain first class laboureIs on
their estates. If they do, they do nothing
but what is fair and honorable, and what

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.
And then, nv son, don't be in too grea

And then, my son, don't be in too great
hurry to accept advanced opinions" :"
It is "the thing to be advanced in this
progressive day and generation, but there
is heap Of shallowness in it. Did you
never notice, my son, that the man who
tells you he cannot believe the Bible is
usually able to believe almost anything
else: You will find men, my son, who
will turn with horror and utter disbelief
from the Bible, and joyfully embrace the
teachings Of Buddha. 1t is quite a new
thing just now, son, for civilized. en-
lightened man, brought up in Christian
country and an age of wisdom. to be
a Buddhist. And if you ask six men
who profess Buddhism who Buddha was.
one of them will tell you he was an
Egygtiau soothsayer, who lived 200 years
before Moses. Another will tell YOU that
he brought letters from PhGnicia and in
troduced them in Greece; third will
tell you that she was beautiful woman Of
farther India, bound by her vows to per-
petual chastity; fourth will, with little
hesitation, say that he was Brahma Of
the ninth degree, and holy disciple OF
Confucius; and of the other two, one
will frankly admit that he doesn't know,
and the other will say, with some inde-
cision, that he was either dervish Of the
Nile (whatever that is), or a felo de se.
he can't be positive which. Before you
propose to know more than anybody or
everybody else, my son. be very certain
that you are at least abreast of two-thirds
of your fellow men.
don't want to suppress any inclina-
ton you may have toward genuine, free
thought and careful, honest investigation.
my son. | only want you to avoid the
great fault Of atheism in this day and
generation; l don't want to see you try
to build siI-story house on one-story
foundation. Before you criticise, con-
denim and finally revise the work of crea-
ton, my son, be pretty confident that you
know something about it as it is, and
don't, as a man who is older in years and
experience than yourself, let me implore
you, don't turn this world upside down
and sit down on it, and flatten it entirely
out until you have made or secured an
other one for the rest of us to live in
while you demolish the old one. If ever
you should develop into an advanced
atheist" my son, just do that much for
the rest Of us.-Burlington Ha,ckeye.

HONOR FROM EURoPE.-It Is conceded
on all sides that DR.. Ayers Pills are above
comparison with other medicines. Unit
ing the best elements known TO the chem

the numerous stomachic disorders for
which they are recommended as cure.
These pills are so mild, yet searching, that
they are often prescribed by doctors who
otherwise do not favor patent medicines.
