about Klass Dhoba, native of the Trans

OF the Missionary Notices gives an account N
the work accomplished near Pretoria bv Klass
Dhoba, native, who has labored for nine wears
without Zee or reward, and with an occasional
visit from the minister of Pretoria. He has held
regular services, taught schools, visited kraals
while supporting himself by the labor of his
hands. his manner is said to be quiet but
narKed by intense zeal. Among the results of
ms work as appeared on a recent visit were
~ Fhty-four persons in a class preparing for
baptism. ~ A regular congregation of about
ninety, crowds coming TO listen to Klass when
ever he visits the kraals (3) Three Sabbath

THE question of organic union has
nothing to do with the question of fra
ternal relations. 1t would hardly have
been very Christ-like thing to decline
to settle our quarrel with the Northern
Presbyterians on the ground that it
might lead to organic union. Duty re-
quires all Christians to live under am
icable relations with each other, if it be
possible to do So we must not refuse
amity because it is one point nearer to a
partnership.
Yet those who favored fraternal rela-
tons do not favor organic union. Many
OF them believed that the opposition to
fraternity was the most likely way to lead
to organic union by causing reaction
against an extreme position.

LORD SHAFTEsBURY ON THE AMER
IcAN MISSIONARIES This noble old
man, now eighty years old we believe,
and always the foremost among the
nobility of England in every good work,
spoke as follows in Exeter Hall, London.
on the 9Th of May last, at the meeting
OF the Turkish Mission Aid Society. He
said =" There never existed a more re-
markable body of men than the Ameri-
can missionaries, who seemed to possess.
IN remarkable degree, the qualities of
intense earnestness and great common
sense. He used to hear frequently OF
them from Lord Stratford de Redclife
who told him that he had never come
into contact with so truly earnest and so
thoroughly business-ike body of men,
and he had heard the same from Sir
Henry Bulwer. 1t was a matter of great
Importance that they should help those
nations, misgoverned' as they were, and
they must do it by endeavoring to raise
them to higher level. If the Turkish
Empire continued their improved con.
dltion would compel reform. If it were
dissolved, as he and others earnestly
hoped it would be. they would have a
people ready and fit to govern them
selves. They did not want to see them
partltloned among the European Powers,
but governing themselves in a spirit of
truthtulness, and to this end they could
not assist better than by aiding the
American missionaries who were prepar-
ing the way for this good end"

A Shlpl0ad of Girls.
New York Herald.s

The steerage of passenger steamer
that carries emigrants is not, to the ma
jority of travellers, the favorite part of q
vessel but there are men who would
have willingly braved all the alleged
horrors of the steerage to have been
among the cheap passengers by the
steamer City of Montreal on her recent
trip, for there were 900 young women
slowed away there, and not man among
them. Young men in society are sup
posel to see nothing attractive about
girls not of their own set, but young men
know this to be a great mistake as do
young girls of all classes. The living
freight of the City of Montreal all came
over to go into domestic service, but
that did net prevent many of them be-
ing modest. and vivacious, and the very
fact that they were coming for the pur-
pose of making themselves useful lent
them charm that more aristocratic
maidens often lack. But such steamer
loads are scarce. If it were not so all of
our unemployed young men with money
enough TO travel would be rushing for
Europe for the sole purpose Of returning
in the steerage.

The Strength Of Mans Love.

My sex may deem me heretodox and
worthy of consignment to any earthly
Hades conveniently when l assert that
/ believe that man really feels the power
of love more than woman when he does
feel it at all. Ileave entirely out of con-
sideration the firt and the butterfly.
They are not men, but mere entities.
A mans heart is not equally susceptible
with that of woman's, though of course
every man admires, respects and loves a
pretty woman. Why shouldn't he? But
the average man is mentally stronger
than the average woman--when man
really does love, when the passion that

is based upon admiration, respect and
esteem, such passion with him believe
to be lasting, to be almost unchangeable.

SAINT SOPHIA, the mosque at Constan-
tinople, so well known to all tourists be-
cause OF the marvellous expansion of its
gilded dome, is in danger Of falling. The
entire building was strengthened few
years ago under the reign of Abdul.
Medjid, even to the building of new
substructure. Lately, however, it was
made the subject Of an investigation by
the architects of Constantinople, and a
report ,urging the necessity of imme-
diate reparation was made. According
to this report the splendid dome is in
danger of immediate collapse, an event
which would be followed by the most
deplorable circumstances if it fell during
the daytime, when there are thousands
of faithful pilgrims gathered there for
prayer and ablution.

The Discoveries Of Genius.
Buckles History of Civilization.

Buckles History OF CVihlatioh.
The gigantic crimes of Alexander OF
Napoleon become after o time void of
effect, and the affairs of the world return
to their former level. This is the ebb
and flow of history, the perpetual fiux
to which by the laws of our nature we
are subject. Above all this, there is O
far higher movement; and as the tide
rolls on, now advancing, now receding,
there is, amid its endless fluctuations,
one thing, and one alone, which endures
forever. The actions Of bad men pro-
duce only Temporary evil, the actions of
good men only temporary good and
eventually the good and the evil together
subside, are neutralized by subsequent
generations, absorbed by the incessant
movement of the future ages. But the
discoveries of great men never leave us;
they are immortal, they contain those
eternal truths which survive the shock
of empires, outlive the struggles of rival
creeds, and witness the decay of success
sive religions. All these have their diff.
ferent measures and their different
standard one SGT of opinions for one
age, another set for another. They pass
away like dream they are as the fab.
ric Of vision. which leaves not track
behind. The discoveries Of genius alone
remain it is to them we owe all that we
now have, they are for all ages aud all
times never young, and never old, they
bear the seeds of their own life; they
flow on in perennial and undying
stream they are essentially cumulative,
and giving birth TO the additions which
they subsequently receive, they thus
influence the most distant posterity, and
after lapse OF centuries produce more ef-
feet than they we're able to do even at
the moment of their promulgation.
