Two Pictures.

They are both instantaneous pictures-sun-
pictures, sketched by that wonderful fnstru-
ment, the eye, and hung in that invincible
picture gallery-"the halls of memory Be-
tween them sad history intervenes The
nrst is brief sketch, done in life's roseate
morning. 1t is beautiful home, amid green
lawns, shade trees and gardens and con-
servatory are filed with choicest flowers. But
its chief charm is the genial, energetic, Chris
tian master, with his bevy of beautiful chill
dren. The large manufactures across the
way are the fountains OF his wealth, and he
has attained the highest honors in the gift of
the citizens of his native State. yet never for.
gets that by industry, economy, integrity,
and the blessing of God, he rose from poverty
TO his enviable position. The bright happy
children are carefully trained in tho ways Of
wisdom, while they enjoy all the advantages
which abundant wealth affords.
The second picture is taken when the
lengthening shadows proclaim that lifes
evening is approaching. We stand in the
same spot, and are looking upon the original

The lawn is green and velvet-hke as before

Liquors Work in Africa.
Labouchere writes to the New York World
that among the transactions of the recent
church congress at Manchester which has not
received as much attention as it deserved
was paper by the Rev. Grant Mills on the
liquor traffic among African natives. Among
other interesting facts contained in this paper
II appears that the total exports of spirits to
Africa by the leading exponents Of civiliza-
tlon during 1887 amounted to q 62S, ,056 gal
Ions. This quantity was divided among the
different nations in the following proportions:
Germany, 5,4Sl40J gallons; the United
States, 747O30 gallons: Great Britain, ,3JS, $50
gallons, and Portugal, 6i6 gallons. Germany,
therefore, stands taclle princeps in the work
OF exterminating the negro-and princeps ia
quality as well as quantity, | should say
for all the German liquor is exported from
Hamburg and Bremen, and we all know
what that implies The gin and rum are said
TO be occasionally used by printers for tur-
pentine. 1t is recorded that gorilla, which
had been procured at the Gaboon River,
died on the way, and in order to preserve the
body properly that it was placed in a cask of
trade rum, but that when tine cask was
opened at Liverpool it was found that the
hair and skin of the gorilla had been burned
as If by yitriol and that the body was in q
terrible state of putrefaction.
PerIls or travelling in England.
The English railway compartment cars,
isolated, without any continuous passage
way,and without the presence of the conduc-
tor or brakeman while the train is in notion
are sometimes places Of great exposure and
peril to passengers who are so fortunate as to
have bad company. The IdH MAI Gazette
mentions the recent journey from London to
Liverpool OF gentleman and his niece, and
another gentleman, his wife and two chill
dren, when three forbidding- looking men
entered their compartment at Willesden for
Rugby. All three had been drinking, and
one was obviously drunk, with bottle from
winch he continued to drink, until he be-
came quite crazed. He stripped himself to
the waist and struck one of his companions
in the face, drawing blood The children
were pressed into corner, the writer of the
account and the other gentleman standing
guard; whereat the maniac called for the
key of his bag so that he might get his knife
out and make a clean sweep of the whole
carriage" Just then the train steamed into
Rugby station, and they were rescued from
what threatened speedily to eliminate in a
fearful tragedy Liquor-drinking, both IN
the land ana the sea, adds greatly to the peril
