in which "Jackos," little, intermediate and
big are decoyed aud then tho whole mount

Mr.. Piokwick's horse boys "vaggin load
of nonkeys," realized at last, though not
to the extent mentioned by that comicsl
per.onsge, whose horse was OF such I'M
shaksble nerve that he refused to shy even
when he met them with their tails burnt

monkeys from Bsnares to the northern
Hiualayas is a practical fact. A few thou

We found the children -Judie, Marie

Lucknow station aud glad we were to get
together again.
And here we have been for just a week
attending the "D,ssarah meetings," and
blessed time it has been. Workers from
all quarters, far and near, have been called
together for loving conference. 1t is essen
TALLY a Methodist meeting, as L found out
when attempted TO communicate my "pe
culiar views" but the spirit Of the ASSEMBLY,
was eminently holy and good, and when
found out what could and what couldn't

thing went along smoothly. A nobler band
of workers than these Methodist brethren |
and sisters can nowhere be found. And the
fact il they are "crryiny everything bsfore
them" in India.
And will say also, that they fully de
serve the succeas they have had. As for the

malice. should have suppressed myself,
