"and you will be saved; refuse to believe
anu you Will D6 nHCK0u TO pieces IN

said Stanley has sold the copyright OF his forth
coming work on the Emin relief expedition for
100000. but this is probably an exaggeratlon.
The present desire Of the publishers is to call
the book How I Relieved Emin" There Is
almost as great desire to got hold OF Emin's
adventures as OF Stanley's, but his records will
probably be published by q German house.

many tender hearts in this metropolis this
week. A poor clerk struggled along In the
suburb Of Dalston with wife and three chill
dren, trying to keep up respectabiity on the
