MONTREAL TRUE WITNESS: Since
the days Of the union terrible ven
geance has always logged the steps of
the men who were guilty Of shedding
Irish blood. From the days Of "carotid-
artery cutting Castlereagh" to the
present, every man who took hand in
coercing Ireland has either died, gone
mad, or broken down. Even their
abettors and instruments have had a
miserable fate, and as Lansdowne can
testify, a nameless horror walks beside
them every where. The cables to day
say Balfour went bareheaded in the bit
ter Geld through London streets like
one demented, after cabinet council
meeting On Saturday, followed by de :
tectives AS was written Of toe mu
tineers:--
''This be their fate forever:nore-
To sail with an ortspokeu curse,
Nor ind content ON any shore
Within tho haunted universe"

the multitude who were found, all seem to
have accepted the invitation to the mar
riage feast Of the kings son. Wherever
the gospel has been preached among the
Gentiles there has been a seeming accept
ance of its offers. No matter how this is
explained it is a fact. It is not said that
all to whom the gospel is preached are
brought savingly under its influence. All
that is asserted is that wherever the gospel
is preached and the ordinances of the
Christian religion dispensed, there is a
seeming acceptance of it by the masses.
They all, in some sense, avail themselves
of the social and civil blessings of the gos-
pei. They willingly agree to be called
Christians. They abhor Pagan idolatry
and point with the finger of scorn at the
Jew. Christian churches are built and
Christian congregations are organized and
supported. Whole nations accept, in some
sense, the gospel offer and boastfully call
themselves Christian nations.
In the parable We are told that the king
came in to see the guests. This suggests
that whilethe invitation was uncondition-
al there was still something about this
marriage feast that was conditional. The
king, although he had furnished a royal
feast, and had extended an unconditional
invitation to all-bad and good-to come
and partake of this feast, still he had not
renowned his sovereignty over his SUBJ
iects. He still continued to be their king
although he was their benefactor. The
first thing which met the eyes of the king
when entering the guest chamber, was a
man improperly clad. He did not have
on a wedding garment. His attire was
unbecoming the place and occasion. No
one of the guests seems to have discovered
the guest improperly clad.
It is said that kings were accustomed,
anciently, to furnish their guests with gar
ments to be worn on festal occasions. This
may be true, but the evidence of the fact
is not conclusive. A proper respect for
the king demanded that every guest be
properly attired.
In this part of the parable the final judg-
ment is brought distinctly to view. The
day will come when the tares will be sep
arated from the wheat. God, although he
sent his son into the world to save sinners,
did not give up his sovereignty. God,
through Jesus Christ, offers salvation to
all, but he demands that all, in order to
salvation, accept the righteousness of Jesus
Christ. A mere external or apparent &C.
ceptation of the gospel will avail US moth
ing. We must believe or we cannot be
saved. We must put on Christ Jesus or
be thrust by God into outer darkness.

In THE Congo REGION.-When Stan
lev began his work on the Congo it was
with the greatest difficulty that he pro-
cured the services of so natives to help
him open the road around the cataracts to
Stanley pool. The growth of Congo en-
terprise and the changes for the better in
the habits and disposition of the natives
are shown by the fact that during the
three months beginning last June 1887
porters left Matadi, at the head of navi-
cation on the lower river, with loads
destined for Stanley pool. The larg-
err part of their freight was two new
steamboats,, one belonging to the Congo
State and the other to the company that
is now surveying a route for the railroad.
All these porters were hired at Lukungu
and Managing, the two largest places on
the road to Stanley pool. Recruiting OH.
GERS are kept there to engage porters, and
men come in from all the country around
to enlist in the work n get some of the
white mems merchandise. The work for
porters to do has outgroWn the provisions
thus far made for supply carriers, and that
is the reason that Bishop Y. A. Taylor's
steamboat was at last accounts lying on
the banks of the lower Congo for lack of
transportation facilities. The porters are
paid for their services largely in cotton
goods and hardware, for which there is a
constantly growing demand. Among the
natives who are in the service to the Con-
go State as soldiers or workmen around the
Stations, are quite a number of Caffres
from South Africa, and thus far they excel
any of the Congo natives ii. industry and
obedience. The Congoese are improving,
and it is thought probable that the great
work of building the railroad will be done
largely by them and Catfres brought from
Cape Colony.

LETTERS THAT WILL NEVER COME.

LETTERS THAT WILL NEVER COME
With anxious features, worn and pale,
He waits the coming of the mail
Each day he asks with hope and fear,
my letter; is my letter here?'
Each day hears in silence dumb,
"Not yet, old man it has not come
The harmless mailman, old and gray,
No n would jeer or drive away.
"Ah, me ~ he says, long years have past,
But it will come; twill come at last"
And so he waits in silence dumb,
The letter that will never come.
Through tilmy vision of his tears,
He sees the long, far saddened years;
The past comes up before him there.
When he was strong and she was fair.
Oncemore he feels in very truth
The leaping pulses of his youth
A strong, strange Joy he feels again..
The olden fever in his brain
An angry word, acareless tone
And she is gone, and he's alone;
Since then he waits, in silence dumb,
The letter that will never come.
Alas his poor old wits have fled,
He cannot know that she is dead
And so he asks it DER and DER,
The same old question as before.
He wakes each morning light to say,
"My letter-it will come to-day"
With lettering limbs hat almost fail,
He creeps each morning to the mail,
And hears With ever new regret,
mot yet, old man, not yet, not yet
And so he waits, in silence dumb,
The letter that will never come.
All, me! poor mailman, even we
Are dupes Of tickle destiny.
In careless hope We waiting sit,
For missives that were writ;
We wait to sec the harvest grown,
OF seed that we have never sown;
We seek the harbor mouth, to hail
The vessel that will never sail
We wait to see our gardens filled
With fruit of trees we have not titled;
Wewait, in gathering stiffness dumb,
For letters that will never come.

INsIDIoUs VEHICLES OF MALARIA.-
DR.. SALISBURY found malarial fever to be
propagated among persons sleeping in a
room, in the windows of which had been
placed a box of earth from malarious soil.
House-plants cultivated in pots filled with
malarious earth are a constant danger.
The germ grows lu%Xuriantly in the moist
ure and warm air of closed rooms. DIR.
Eichwald, professor of clinical medicine
in the University of st. Petersburg, has
given to the public facts concerning a pa
tient of his, a lady with malarial fever,
who was easily cured by treatment when
confined to her chamber, but who quickly
relapsed on remaining during the day in
her parlor. This easy cure and constant
relapse went on for a long time. At last
the DOCTOR having become suspicious OF
the flower pots, removed them from the
house, and there was no further recurrence
of the disease. The effect of malaria on
the nervous system is weakening and de-
moralizing, and this should be guarded
against by c%ultivating the will power.
Nervous chills sometimes take the place of
malarious ones and can hardly be distin-
guished from them, Those are best pre-
vented by good hygienic conditions and
by moral means.-IeraM Of Health.

WOMAN Is A MYsTERY.-There wa a
little incident on a cable line car yesterday
morning that made all on board laugh.
There wa such a touch of humor in it and
so much human nature, that the mirth
was as free and spontaneous as the ripping
murmur of a brook. The car had just stop-
ped at the Priests of Pallas hall, and a
large, genial faced, jovial kind of a man
assisted a lady to alight. AS the car start
ed again he rather earnestly remarked:
"Now, there goes my wife to hear Sam
Jones tell her of her faults" Then, after
an impressive pause: "Iet when l try to
tell her of them at home there is a terrible
racket. 1 can't understand women."-

THE BATTLE OF THE CRATER.

In the summer Of 1861, the Federal Gen
eral Burnside was encamped near Peters
burg, in front Of number Of Confederate
batteries. One of his officers, Col. Pleas
ants, who had been a mining engineer,
proposed to dig a tunnel five hundred feet
long, to a spot right under one of the prin-
cipal Southern outposts, and to deposit in
its trenches fourteen thousand pounds OF
g%unpowder, so as to blow up the battery
thus undermined. Some of the Federal
chiefs strongly objected to this proposal,
as being impracticable or unlikely to sue
coed. Ultimately, however, Burnside
agreed to the suggested plan. but the
amount of powder was limited to eight
thousand pounds. The work of excava-
ton occupied more than a month, but at
length, on the 30th of July, it was COM
pleted, and the explosion took place.
once blown into the air, and then their
corpses, or fragments of them, fell in a
mixed mass ofearth and rubbish all around.
A vast hollow, or ''crater," was formed by
this explosion, and extended one hundred
and fifty feet in length, by sixty feet in
depth. Panic and dismay at first seized
the Confederates, but they soon rallied,
and began to repel the Federal troops,
who were pouring in on their camp in the
hope of carrying all before them. But the
expectations of the Federals were terribly
disappointed, and their horrible scheme
resulted in one of the greatest disasters
sustained by the Northern army during
the whole of the war.
The scene which ensued was thus de-
scribed to Mr.. Macrae by an eyewitness,
Major Cook, of the Southern army: ut
was as gallant a charge as I ever saw. We
recaptured all our lines, driving the enc
my (the Federals) over into the Crater
like a herd of frantic buffaloes. Then such
a scene ensued as I hope never to see
again. The Crater filled with a seething
mass Of men-hundreds of them, some
firing back on us, some struggling wildly
to escape. Shattering volleys were fired
into the seething abyss, till it became a
perfect hell of blood. The frantic mass
heavedand struggledlike demons. Hand
grenades were tossed in, and as they ex-
ploded you could see heads and arms and
legs 20 up into the air! Our men sicken-
ed at the carnage and stopped. The enc,
my lost that day more than four thousand
men! They left the Crater choked with
dead. No attempt was made, till long
after, to take the bodies out Tor burial.
The earth was thrown in upon them where
they lay, covering the hideous sight from
the face of heaven"
The Confederate loss was about one
thousand men.-David Macrae.

Carbonate of soda and alum are used for

of powdered alum are mingled together at
the time of churning and put into the

is in the churn ready for churning.
