uoW lNinS N W. ooOlt, OI your
conference and myself.
Strangely, indeed, have run on in this
talk. When commenced |
intended TO say something of Montpelier
in the olden time; but this l cannot now
do without extending this communication
10 an undue length. With your consent
perhaps would do so at another time. A
hearty greeting to all my former acquaint-
ances among the readers .of the CHRISTIAN
MESSENGER. The Lord bless and prosper
you in your responsible work.

The truly great man is he who does not
lose his child-heart. He does not think
beforehand that his words shall be sincere,
nor that his actions shall be resolute; he
simply always abides in the right.-Mcn

Caution the young that their work is not

The only royal pathway to progress is to do
the duty of the hour in the best manner

Cetewayo, the captive Zulu chief, is ex.
pected to arrive in England August 18th,
accompanied by three native chiefs and
escorted by Mr.. Shepstone, son Of Sir The
ophilus Shepstone. He will visit Osborne.
and probably have an audience with Queen
Victoria. He will remain in England un-
till September, and the direct result of his
visit may possibly be his restoration
Fashion now and then does sensible
thing, and its edict aboishing the "travo.
ing dress" is one of them. The New York
Tribune thus sums up the latest styles for
feminine travellers: The most useful COS
tunes for mountain travel are the familiar
cheviots, light flannel, beige-ioulard, bal
ermas, basket.w fabric In monoch
rome, or Bengaline. which is a soft, ustrous
species of mohair. For an extensive tour
there is nothing so sorviceable as cloth
finished flannel or soft cheviot, made very
simple into short walking skirt, having
two plated draperies in front and five
large hollow plaits behind. The expert
enced traveller who comprehends human
nature on the road knows that to be quietly
and fashionably dressed in fabrics of the
finest is the way to command respect and
attention. A useful and elegant costume
is made of sivery gray or drab pongee,
that sheds the dust and is not injured
by water. The travelling ulster, dust
cloak or pelisse i, made fIom the same
material. These should reach the edge
Of the dress. Jewelry, frnges or lace
ruin the harmony which must exist, and
are an offense against good taste.
TIE HoRRoRS OF WAR.-An Alexan
dria correspondent says that during the
massacre the soldiers set fire TO the house o.
lumber dealer. A maid servant escaped
to the garden, where she found herself
surrounded by fire. The soldiers laughed
at her agony and fired at her, but pur-
posly avoided the infection of fatal injury
preferring to see her burn to death. Fl.
nally she rushed through the flames, and
though wounded by bayonet thrusts, sue
ceeded in securing refuge in the ruins,
where she discovered the marines and
was handed over to the Americans.

An alexandria correspondent of the

rits have been convicted of numbering
Europeans under circumstanc es of excep
