A Text Discourse From nt the Con.
sregationat al ~
Last evening Mr.. Tomiln preach d,
taking his text from Matt. 25;l0- Aud
while they were to bus, the bridegroom
came and they that were ready went in
with him TO the msrriuPe, and the door
was shut" I confess that 10 me evsn q
thought of this subject is of ths most
solemn character. l cannot read the
25th chapter of Mathew without anxiety.
The great thought Of the judgment is
clearly brought to mind. Contrast these
words with the loving words with which
Jesus began his ministry. de seems to
be stern II and ~sterner, but had he failed
to arouse men to the danger OF failing to
use the talents given, he would not have
been q perfect Saviour. His warnings
exhibit his love as much as his dying
for us. Christ comes with warnings
with the solemn thought OF the lndg-
ment, when we must stand before Him
and each one give an account OF himself
to God.
God says:"I is appointed unto man
once to die and after death the iudg-
ment." As we go ont of this world. as
death leaves ns, Judgment will find us.
The thought of judgment ought to fill
our hearts with seriousness. Mans su-
preme business should be to seek first
the kingdom OF God and his righteous
ness: to seek to glorlty God and to en-.
Joy him forever. The great business OF
life is to get ready for death, for when
death comes there is no further oppor,
tunity. The great and important
thought Is to get ready. They that were
ready went in and the door was shut
In all his dealings with men there are
two classes, the wise and the foolish,
We are either for Christ or for the devil
There Is no separate class for the moral.

one side or the other. On which side
are you? Each for himself Will eithe

A FAMOUS BOOK.

Mrs. Mary A. Liverm0re's story of the
War and sHer Experiences.
In this new and superbly illustrated
work, the world-famous Mary A. Liver
more narrates her personal work and ex
perlences as q hospital and field nurse
during the war OF the rebellion. We do
not know when 700 pages have given us
more genuine pleasure. Mrs. Livermose
spent four years as a nurse in hospitals,
camps, Of the front, and on the battle
field, and these four years were packed
with pathos, glory, and sacrifice proba-
bly, never parslleled in the lifo of any
other woman. Her narrative presents q
vivid inner picture of the womanly side
OF the war, more especially OF her own
work and Ithrilling experiences, with
many pathetic and humorous lncidents
%portraving the lights and shadows OF
life.
We regard sthis splendid book as q
wholly unique work, for it presents the
womanly, or what may very appropriate.
ly be termed the heavenly side of the
/! war, and this has never heretofore been
| written. 1t lifts the curtain, and sh OWE
how heroic and devoted and blessed her
work was. Il is full of the deepest
pathos, the richest humor, the most
touching tales, the most stirring anec-
dotes and incidents, and through the
whole runs the story of the adventures
and striking experiences of it's illnstriout
author. Stranger stories are here told
than romance eyer dreamed of, every
one of them drawn from real life by
womsn's hand.
But che illustrations! An able ortiz
recently SAID: 'This is the most rIchl.
embellIshed work ever published il

There are splendid steel plate portrait

ANTI-ASlATIC UNION.

AT meeting of the Anti-Asiatic
Union held last night, the committee
appoined to confer with the planters,
reported the result of that confer
ence. The report was unanimously
adopted. The same committee was
continued to secure the cooperation
of the planters in bringing about
legislation for the restriction of Chi
nese immigration.
There were two motions unani-
mously adopted, embracing instruc-
tions to this committee upon which
to urge legislation. The first was,
that Chinese immigration be stopp-
ed, or should sweeping measure
of that character be unconstitution-
al, that sufficiently large immigra-
ton tax be levied to effectually
check fresh arrivals of Chinese.
Second, that the government notify
the authorities at Hongkong that
they, the Hawaiian Government,
will recognize no return passports,
unless it be those of which they have
an official and complete record.

"The German books are printed

fact that recently the Austrian Min

in popularity. 1t will not be long

ARR0WROOT CULTIVATION.

At the request of the Minister for
Lands of Queensland, Mr.. Samuel
Grimes, Nj. L. A., has written the
following short treatise upon Arrow
root Cultivation and Manufacturing
-"Arrowroot is prepared from two
species of plants, which thrive re-
markably well in Queensland, de-
signated in botany Maranta arun-
dinacea, and Gamma edulis. The
first-named thrives best in sandy
loamy soils, and attains the height
of about 2ft., bearing at maturity q
small white flower, something similar
to the blossom of the potato. The
arrowroot Is prepared from tubers
which cluster around the roots of
the plant, and are from Sin. to Sin
in length and about lin. or lbin. in
diameter. This kind is the same as
is produced in the Bermudas, but
owing to the difficulty of manufac-
ture its cultivation Is now almost
abandoned in Queensland. The
Gamma edulis, or purple variety, is
now commonly grown, and has been
found to thrive well on the alluvial
scrub lands on the banks of various
rivers from the Brisbane to the En-
deavour, including nearly the whole
eastern seaboard of the colony. The
stalks of this kind sometimes grow
to the height of SIT, and bear a
scarlet flower, which is followed by
a small seed-pod, by the seeds very
seldom come to maturity. 1t is pro-
pagated by planting one of the
smaller bulbs found growing at the
bottom of the stems.
"Mode of Cultivation the

girl, and the first night of her eXis-
tence she was Struggled over the
mountains into Waianae and kept
there in secret. a year or two had
passed away, when the child was
brought to Honolulu and put into a
boarding-school. Later she was
sent to Waialua where her schooling
was continued. The child was be-
coming a comely Miss of sweet dis
position, when she was smuggled off
to Maui. She had never seen her
father and was taught to regard the
woman who managed her, rs her
mother. Time rolled on and the
girl became young woman, pre-
possessing in appearance and mod
est in demeanor. The woman who
had charge of the young lady took
her in sailing vessel TO San Fran
cisco and there abandoned her to
the vulgar care of Il worthless Por-
tuguese man. This man took the
girl to Cape Verde Islands, where
she was again abandoned. Another
Portuguese took, fancy for the
girl and claiming to be her father,
wanted to take possession of her ;
but reverend gentleman discover
ed the girl land took her to his home in
New Bedford, where the girl now
is. He is trying to find her pa
