THE LABRADOR FISHERIES.
Tho Serious Distress Which Has Followed
the Failure in the Catch.

the Failure in the Catch.
The failure of the Labrador fishery
is the most serious we have had in that
quarter for many years. The quantity
of Goldfish taken, on a moderate calcu-
lation, will be one-half below the aver
age. After toiling all the summer,
numbers are now returning home with
but miserable returns for their labors,
and some have almost nothing to show.
In such cases, where there is a neces-
sity, the supplying merchant makes
advances to enable the poor fisherman
to pull through the long winter.
Where absolute restitution exists, Gov
eminent aid is given in the shape of
provisions. It is believed, however,
that the number of cases requiring
such aid will not be great. A man-of-
var is shortly to be dispatched with
supplies on board for some of the more
destitute localities in White Bay and
on Southern Labrador. To add to the
distress, considerable losses among the
fishing craft have been sustained in
consequence of the stormy weather
which has prevailed. The steamer
Hercules, on her return from the
mail service on Labrador, brought
the crews of eight vessels which had
been wrecked, and was obliged to leave
a number of others behind from the
want of room on board. Assistance
has been dispatched to these sufferers.
A vessel named the Lady Jane, having
ffty-two souls on board, many Of them
women and children, on her return
from Labrador, became leaky and I'M
manageable, When almost sinking,
another, the Flamingo, bore down upon
her, and took off the crew and passen-
gers after terrible sufferings. Seldom
has worse weather been experienced
on Labrador than this season. A sue
cession of storms destroyed the pros
poets of the herring fishery, just at the
time when behring's had struck in
abundantly. Labrador behring's will
be a scarce and dear article this year.
One storm in particular which caused
damage is reported to have been the
heaviest experienced in twenty years.

THE TwENTY-TA,Rp PSALM.

I shall not fear whatever Ill betide,
The Lord my Shepherd is, and will provide.
Where sunny sides of verdant pastures slope
To peaceful cooling streams, l rest in hope,
And feel my needy soul refreshed, restored,
By meditating on His holy word.
There paths of peace and pleasantness I see,
Where, for His own names sake, He leadeth
me.
Yea, though with fainting steps tie vale
tread,
Whose shadows hover DER the silent dead
I shall not fcar-Thy presence brings the day;
Thy rod and staff shall comfort by b way.
Mid envious foes my table Thou hast spread,
And poured the Oil of gladness on my head.
My cup runs DER. Thy l~oving-kindness still
Shall follow me-, as flows the peaceful ril,
Till life shall end, and then Thy house I see,
Where, blessed forever, 1 shall bid with Thee.

For two centuries the entire indus
try of Mittenwald, a town of Bavaria,
shut in by snow-clad mountains and
dense forests, has been violin making,
for which the surrounding forests fur
nish the best of material. Every yard is
crossed by labyrinth Of ropes andpoles,
on which hundreds of violins are hung
to dry. Every kind of stringed instru-
ment, from the finest violin to the
cheapest banjo, is manufactured and
shipped in large quantities to all parts
of the civilized world.

A Christian Soldier Who Did Not Fear
Death.

A Christian Soldier Who Did Not Fear
Death.
Colonel Dash, who had been long in
India and distinguished himself during
the mutiny, was noted for his modesty
and gentle He was a Scotch
E%piscopalian, but though deeply relig-
ious, his retiring disposition made him
a quiet, unobtrusive Christian, one who
seldom spoke on the subject of religion.
Being an ardent sportsman, he start
ed alone in the month of February, for
ten days shooting in the jungle. One
night, when the air was still and the
full moon shone in a cloudless sky, he
sat outside of his tent to observe the
strange shadows and the weird gloom
of the forest. His thoughts wandered
over his past life, and her on to the
future beyond earth. So absorbed had
he become that not till he shivered did
he think of the danger of exposing him
self to the night air of the jungle. With
an aching head and limbs he sought his
bed, and a day later returned to his reg
iment with the deadly fever upon him.
When Che fever was at its height, the
surgeons met in consultation. 1t was
of the most intense form, and they
could do nothing to save him. Seeing
their anxious looks, the sick officer asked
if be was in danger and likely to die.
On being told that there seemed to be,
no probability of his recovery, he said.
"Thank you! 1 feel that there is
danger. I should prefer to live if it
my dear ones in Scotland. But 1 have;
ro f,o,. Df loo%l ,r.,l, ~ ,r,:k, Sow,
lines to my wife; after that to see the
chaplain and partake of the sacra-
ment."
The letter was written and then the
chaplain entered the room, prepared to-
administer to the dying man his last
communion.
II thank God," said he taking the
chaplain's hand, 'for having given me
pious parents, who taught me by pre-
cept and example SO to live that, when,
the end came, [ should not fear to die.
l have prayed from my youth up to be
enabled to live a Christian life, and for
years have sought to govern my
thoughts and my acts by the ~precepts
and example of the Son of God, in
Whom is my hope and trust. I have
looked always to the probability of
sudden death, and now that it is near,
1 am ready"
So weak was the dying Christian
soldier that both the doctor and the
chaplain were afraid to raise him up,
and the broken bread was given to him
as he lay in bed.
But the dying man, when the chap
lain was about to administer the cup to
him, begged that he might be raised
up.
II would receive it reverently," he
said.
Drink this in the remembrance OF
that Christ, Whom you have loved and
Who gave Himself for you and for all
men, said the chaplain.
He touched it reverently with his lips
and passed away.-YoutA's Companion.

One of the many mistakes to which
the follower of Christ is liable in this
age of money-getting and display is the
tendency to indulge in needless ana

taste.-New England Evangelist. =
