a continued use caused further improvement,

mend 1t to all.

LET us BUILD SHIPS.

The Select Committee Recommend Some
Measures That WIN Enable American
Builders 10 Compete with Those of the
Clyde.
The joint select committee on American
shipping further discussed various propositions
for the relief of the shipping interest ycster-
day, The following propositions prepared by
the San Francisco board of trade and intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Paul was unani-
mOusly adopted:
That whenever any vessel, whether steam or
sail, shall be constructed or equipped in the
United States for foreign trade, including the
trade between the Atlantic and Pacific ports Of
the United States, in whole or in part of materials
Of the productions Of the United States, the owner
or owners OF such vessels shall be entitled to
celve and collect from the United States a sum
equal in amount to the duty which would have
been collected upon imported materials used in
the construction, equipment, engines, boilers, and
other appurenances Of such steam or sail vessel.
The importance of this provision and its
value to the ship-building interest of the
United States will be readily seen when it is
estimated that an iron ship of 1000 tons, the
bonus to be allowed for the American ma
terials used, would amount to $4,000 or
$4,000.
The second proposition, also prepared by
the San Francisco board of trade, was:
That all registered vessels, either sail or steam,
of the United States engaged exclusively in the
foreign carrying trade are hereby exempted from
ali or any state or municipal taxation.
This was also adopted by the committee,
Mr.. Dingley alone dissenting, not to the
equity of the proposition, but for the reason
that he believed this matter should be regu-
lated exclusively by the states.
Mr.. Cox offered proposition for free ships,
both for the foreign and coastwise trade,
which was supported by himself and Senator
Vest, but was rejected by the committee.
Senators Vest and Miller, of California, and
RepresentativelDingley were appointed a sub
committee to prepare bill embodying the
propositions which have been agreed upon
and TO present it to the full committee for it,
final action on Friday.
1t is believed if this bill should become q
law, that it will'enable our American ship
builders to compete successfully with the ship
builders upon the Clyde or elsewhere.

A Sisters Tears.

A young man not very long since,
was on examination for ordination and
installation. In relating his Christian
experience and call TO the ministry,
the question was put to him:
What first led you to see yourself
sinner, and feel youg need Of Christi
His simple reply was:
Il sisters iearsl
He silk he had been thoughiless
and wicked, using the name of God
profaeely and giving himself up to
iufdel sentiments. lie had pi1us
sister, aud he would argue With his
SISTER on the claims of the Christian
religion, The genuiueness, authenticity
and inspiration Of the scriptures, and
algGe her down. But the sister would
not yield. She was in earnest in
seeking the salvation of her brother.
So she brought in her minister. Bat
the young wOuld-be iuflel disposed
of the minister as easily as be did Of
his 81 ter, ard came Of victor.
At length, on one OCCASION, he
sought an argument with his sister,
but she was silent: she bad nothing to
say. But he only s,ormed the more.
Still she said nothing; and when he
spake i'll Of her God, her Saviour, her
Bible, her religion, she made no reply
but burst intoa food of tears; and
those tears Of my sister, said the
young minister, reached my heart
and met d it. | then saw myselfa
sinner, aud fled to Christ for help
In relating it he was affected to
tears, as were the congregation before
whom be was standing. My own heart
too. shared the general sympathy, and
ere I was aware, was wipiGg away
q tear. The minister who gave the
charge next day, 10 abiding to the
circumstance, found his ulterance
chokeG.
Such are the ways OF God. So do
great meaus fail, 50 do humble means
succeed Tears do that which logic
is utterly powerless to do. What a
lesson of encouragement is this to
those who are striving, for the saliva.
ton of the souls of beloved kindred
and frieuds, parents for children for
parents husbands; brothers for sisters,
sisters for brothers. All such should
labor and pray on, looking to God 10
strong faith. Jesus wept over sinners
and when We ere so in earnest for the
souls of our loved ones that we weep
over them. then it may be that they
will be won for Christ. He that
goeih forth and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come
again, bringing his sheaves with him.
