tanned by the London Missionary society in
heather lands, where there are employed 152

slonaries and pastors and 4,679 native preach
ers, the church members numbering 92.474

a COMMITTEE appointed las, fall by the
Presbyterian general assembly have put in
their oar to help congress along in that per-
picking question, the civilization of the Indi-
ans. This committee have addressed a me-
mortal to congress. Their aim is to accom-
plish the absorption of the Indians, as an in
dispensable means for their civilization, into
the mass of our citizens, and to clothe
them with all the rights of citizens, and to in
struct them how to perform ali the duties of
| such. As q means to this end, they propose
to individualize the Indians, by extending to
each the protection of the laws as individuals
instead Of dealing with them as tribes; and by
guaranteeing to each one a home with all its
immunities of self-help in sustaining himself
by the proceeds Of his own labor, granting the
privileges OF education, and due protection in
the enjoyment OF personal liberty and private
property. Does not this afford the basis for
solution OF the Indian problem? Let congress
at least consider it.
TIE persecution of the Jews IN Russia is
attracting the attention of the civilized world.
There is no adequate cause or justification for
this ruthless work. The fostered enmity
against this unfortunate race is seized upon by
semi-barbarous hordes of Russian villagers to
plumber them of their suhstance-to pillage
and burn their homes One Jewish commupi-
ty after another has been thus invaded, until
the innocent, helpless and defenceIess victims
of these outrages are themselves slaughtered
in the despoiling OF their property,
and their wives and daughters outraged. It
is time for the civilized world to rise and
! indignantly and authortatively demand that
that the Russian government put forth hand
to stay these atrocities, visited by one portion
of its inhabitants upon another. TIL this is
done but little sympathy can be felt for nihii-
list hunted dynasty, or little care how soon re-
volution shall wreck depotism, that op-
presses beyond endurance, and affords no re-
dress or protection to long suffering, de-
spoiled and wronged populaee.
PRINCIPAL SHARP, of the United College,
ST, Andrews, Scotland, mos. happily says:
Not the young only, but the old, those who
have kept themselves mostchildlike, who have
carried the boys heart with them farthest into
life, would be the best and purest men if what
they had most cared for and delighted in, in
their boyhood had been worthy. a means of
keeping the heart young, may be attributed
to the pleasure of reverting in age to the
things that have delighted our
boyhood. The late President Garfield
is happy instance OF the pleasing influence
of carrying the boys heart late into life.
Those who knew him best and associated
with him most closely, describe him, in the
midst of all the triumphs OF his student life
and craftsmanship, as "a great boy" full of
all human kindnesses and sympathy, with g.
cheerful, bright and gushing overflow of
heartfelt sympathy for all, both young and
old. keep the heart youug,'' is beautiful
motto to be borne in mind with advancing
years.
TIE late Grenyille Murray speaks of the
Prince Of Wales as follows: "The prince is
thoroughly enlightened in his views on the
leading questions of the day. The son of
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert could hard
ly be otherwise, whether one considers the re-
markable abilities of his parents or the excel
lent education they bestowed on their children.
While on this topic, one may venture to call
attention to the popular fallacy expressed in
the sentence that there is no royal road to
learning The path of knowledge is made ex-
ceedmgly smooth fer Prince of Wales That
the best books, the ablest professors, the
choice Of hours should all be at his disposal
this may be small thing; he has access to
stores of information which other students
could not obtain for love or money. From his
earliest youth he is placed in frequent and
familiar intercourse with men who make his
history. Even in these days of mayors OF the
palace he may be SAID. in some sense, to make
it himself. The education which many schol-
ars begin to receive at thirty and many Others
never receive at all-the education which con-
sists in knowledge OF the world-he acquires
easily and pleasantly without leaving his
home"
The popular writers and authors of one
generation are often forgotten and unknown
in another. How few, even once celebrated
in current admiration, attain to the knowl-
edge of the fast coming throngs along
times hurrying course? There were poets in
the old revolutionary days, and in the pre-rev-
dictionary period, but who remembers them
now, or even knows of their existence,
though in their time they were re-
nowned and admired? Who now
remembers President Timothy Dwight's
Conquest Of Canaan commences:
columbia, Columbia, to glory rise,
The queen of the world and the child of the
skies.'
