The Lena Delta.

The delta of the river Lena, to which
so much attention has been lately direct.
ed in connection with the Jeanette
expedition, is included in the Shigansk
uluss, one of the subdivisions of the
Verchoyansk okrug. Formerly the vii
lage of Shigansk, about midway be-
tween Yukutsk and Bulun, on the
Lena, was the most important place in
this district, the center of the fur trade
and headquarters of the Ispravnik.
Now, however, it is nearly abandoned,
owing to the scarcity Of fur-bearing
animals in the vicinity. A priest,
however, is still there with his family:
and a small number of natives make it
their residence during the winter. The
Ispravnik resides in Verchoyansk, a
rambling village near the headwaters
of the Yana, consisting mainly of about
forty yourtas. In addition to these
there is quitea large church, q school
house, a small hospital, house where
the public officials transact their
business and the Ispravnik's residence.
All these are log-built, in the Russian
style, and their large brick stoves or
ovens and double glass windows are the
only comfortable, healthful;abodes north
of Yakutsk in this section of Siberia.
The mail arrives one in three months,
but there are besides occasional oppor-
tunities for sending letters by the Cos
sacks, who act as guard to the political
exiles sent from the south. The route
through the mountains being rough and
full of difficulties, especially for trans
porting trains, clothing, provisions, and,
in fact, all necessaries Of life are scarce
and high-priced, with the exception Of
beef, which here is even cheaper than in
Yakutsk. Reindeer are usually plenti-
full, the price varying from two dollars
and fifty cents to four dollars a head.
There is a force of about twenty Cos
sacks stationed here, whose chief duty
is in connection with the eXiles and in
guarding the Government property.
The 1spravnik travels through his dis
trict once a year to collect taxes, and
to inquire into the condition of the
people. each male native is taxed
about four rubles, or two dollars,
yearly, in money or furs for the support
of the Government and church.) Hay
ing sent word of his coming, the head
man of the various districts, the golovah
and starosters assemble at Bulun, the
principal village in the Shigansk uluss,
sometime during the winter to meet
him and transact the public business.
During the summer the route between
Verchoyansk and Bulun is practically
impossible in consequence of the numer-
GUS rivers which have to he crossed,
and the Doggy condition of the tundra
along the coast. Upon occasion, it
having become necessary in the summer
to dispatch a messenger on urgent
business to Bulun, it took the native
who was sent on the duty seventy-two
days to perform the travel, which in
winter can easily be done in seven or
eight.-Rep0rt Of Lieutenant Schuetze.

THE RACE FOR A

The Golden Rule has had occasion
several times to call attention to the
danger of the speculative mania, which
just 10Y is possessing the American
people. The need of it's warnings has
received ample proof in the succession
of failures which Wall street has wit
messed the past few weeks. Their NOR
al has been pointed by both secular and
religious press, but it may not be I'm
fitting to notice one phase Of the ques-
ton.
Everywhere, particularly in our large
cities, a terrible ace for wealth is go
ing on. No one can make money fast
enough by earning it. Clerks, who
earn weekly wages, are dabbling in
stocks; women are trying their hand at
the uncertain game. The man who
has a hundred dollars seeks not how it
may earn him six dollars, but how he
may double it. Men who have their
thousands want their millions. This is
simply an intense form of worldliness,
of which the Apostle said: IF a man
loves the things of this world, the love
of the Father is not in him."
1t is abroad in the churches, and is
sapping the spiritual life. 1t is faint
ing the sweet breath of domestic life,
separating the fathers from the chill
dren, and turning our homes into lode-
lighthouses. And all for what? For a
fancied peace, ease and comfort, which
never comes. Every one knows that
great wealth not only is not necessary
Tor the deepest content, but is positive
ly u%nfriendly to it. Freedom from
care. a brain undistracted by possible
reverses, q heart at leisure from itself,
a little time TO give to home, to friends,
and to God--these bring q satisfaction
which boards of wealth can never buv.
The happiest people in the world,
the most useful people in the world, are
not who have enormous establish
ments, liveried servants and elegant
equipages; they are those who are on
tented TO make their wants small, and
have means to meet those wants. And
we claim it is every mans duty.
whether his income be five hundred
dollars O year, OF five hundred thou
sand, to know if his income is covering
his expenses. 1t seems incredible that
any person of common sense, who has
mastered the principles of subtraction,
can not know that if he spends more
than he receives, he is bringing ruin
When Mrs. Howe's famous bank was
exposed, it was supposed to be a purely
feminine idea that a bank could long eS-
lst which put in one hundred dollars,
and drew out two hundred. But upon
this principle a bank which counted
among its directors an ex-President, a
graduate of Harvard College, and a So
called keen business man, seems to
have been conducted. Just AZ sure as
two and two make four, two from two
leave nothing. 1t would be well if for
a Time more attention were paid to sub
traction and division, and less to add
ton n multiplication.
The Bible states for us one problem
in subtraction which can not he asked

view, what is gained if a mar have

Why Bagby is Still Unmarried.

However much nerve a young man
must possess before he can ask a young
lady TO become his wife, it certainly re-
quires more for him to work himself up
to hat pitch where he can unblushinglv
ask her father for his consent in the
matter. One night last summer Bagby
was drawing near the abode of his
affianced when he saw her father in the
yard. What better opportunity could
ever present itselfp With a trembling
step and a giddy brain he approached
to within ten feet Of where the old gen.
man was seated and gasped: .'Please
sir" The person addressed made no
response. If a force-pump of forty
horsepower had been injecting blood
into his head it could not have been
worse. He moved forward about two
inches. "Please, sir, H." This
was as far as he got, for his tongue
seemed to be as thick as an arctic over
shoe. The old gentleman did not seem
to move a muscle. Bagby moistened
his feverish lips with his tongue, and
then began where he left off: II love
20" He could proceed no farther.
Composing himself a little, with a des-
perate effort he began at the beginning:
''Please, sir, I love your daughter, and
=" This was about one-third OF what
he had to say, but it seemed far less,
there was so much remaining. 1t was
now getting quite dark. The old gen
tleman's indifference made Bagby more
desperate, and he determined to finish
what he had to say, come life or death.
"Please' sir, l love your daughter, and
l wish to make her my wife. Do you
give your consent?" and with the qHes.
ton he rushed forward and flung him
self on his knees before the old gentle
a just then came a gust of wind,
and the old gentleman, which proved
to be a scarecrow, placed there to
brighten the robins, fell over on Bagby,
and tipped him into the mud. Bagby
is still unmarried.-BoW Bells.

The next day Alex. said to her:
"Since you unbent sufficiently to call
upon me in such an unceremonious
manner, Carrie, before l beg your
pardon for my old disagreeable mean,
ness, can't you stoop still further and
marry me, now that 1 do most humbly
crave your forgiveness? l have always

OF course Carrie could not refuse.
"Pon my soul!' said Uncle Tom,
when he had heard the whole story:
'.It's better than a magazine yarn!
You're the heroine, Carrie, and Alex. is
the hero and I am the sort of good
angel, you know, that fixes up things,

THE SILVER LINING.

There's never q day so sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never a life SO happy
But has had its time OF tears.
Vet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clear
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never a heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
10 find the fOrget-me-not.
There's never q cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's nevera path soHuRged
That bears not the prints of feet;
And we have a Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know t will set at night:
The tints that CLEAN in the morning
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never a dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never q dream of sorrow .
But the waking makes us glad:
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we havG had.
There's never a way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always a guide to point US
To the ''little wicket gates"
And the angels will be nearer
To q soul that is desolate.
There's never a heart so naughty
But will some day bow and kneel;
Thnrnsc nnNya~ n hooNt en- wounded
That the Saviour q not heal;
There's many a lowly forehead
That Is bearing tho hidden seal.

Then says: "At home we'll stay; .

And so it is through all my life,
Whate'er my wife shall want,
