Dear Neighbor:
Usually the first question 4 body in
Sydney asks a stranger is, "What DO
YOU think of our harbor?" Very
truthfully could I answer all such
inquiries by saying that it was the
grandest and most beautiful harbor |
had ever seen. Indeed it is worthy all
the pride that Australians feel in it,
for not only is it magnificent in its sur
roundings of green hills and hand
some residences and public buildings,
but its ample coast-linc would afford
splendid "berths" for all the shipping
of Australia, should it ever be ncccs-
sary to concentrate it in Sydney.
The "Circular Quay" where the
large ocean steamers lie, is popular
and pleasant driving place, and Its
pretty park is adorned by a bronze
statue of It. S. Mort, one of Sydney 5
early settlers, and the most noble phi
lanthropist of New South Wales. 1t Is
worthy of mention that when MIR.

on him, however, and before a great
while he had the satisfaction OF elevat'

borne upon many of the greatest bust

memory is held in high esteem by peo'
pie of every class. ,. :,
Sydney is a great and beautiful city,

4 Curious Combat.

a traveller i'm South Africa tells of {
singular combat he witnessed. He
was musing one morning, with hi,
eyes on the ground, when he noticed ;

movements, the aunts would catch III
with the caterpillar, and one would
mount his back and bite him. Paus-
ING, the caterpillar would turn his
head, and bite and kill his tormentor
After slaughtering & dozen or more o!
his prosecutors, the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue. The ants made 9
combined attack. Betaking himsel
to a stalk of grass, the caterpillar
climbed up tail first, followed by tho
ants. AS one approached, he seized il

The ants, seeing that the caterpilla

They began saving through th'
grass stalk. In a few moments tn
stalk fell, and hundreds of ants ponIc

off in triumph, leaving the foes body

The continued existence of churches
depends on the continued process Of

things that men value and that Jesus
Christ cares very little about; but
Ichabod- glory is departed.
There are within the range of every

be solitary-passages of duty which
throw one absolutely upon his individ:

whatever from another. Alone we
must stand sometimes ; and if our bet
ter nature is not to shrink into weak
ness, we must take with us the
thought which was the strength OF
Christ: "Yet 1 am not alone, because
the Father is with me-"

The Little Beauty,

II know 1 am homely," said little
Rosie Oppenheim, as she peeped from
the top of the chair into her looking
glass and scanned every feature. 1t
was only too true, for the face she saw
was far from fairy-like. There was no
pretty dmple in the cheek, no bright,
winsome eyes, no tiny, clear-cut nose,
no smooth, white forehead and droop-
ing eyelashes. 1t was dark counte-
nance, small eyes, thick lips, large
nose and huge ears.
Goodness What a fright ~ she
exclaimed, as she got off the chair and
turned her face from the mirror.
"Well, am glad that know it, any,
way; and so, if the girls call ME
names, they won't sting me at all, be-
cause it is true" And she laughed
such merry little laugh that the sun
beam through the window caught its
echoes, and passed them to the clouds
beyond.
Rosie took up her sewing by the
window, but after time grew tired of
the work, and, picking up Alice in
Wonderland, was deep in its myste-
ries. With what interest did she fol-
low the adventures of that pleasant lit
tie maid! How excited she grew as
page after page was quickly scanned!

little fellow; and he eagerly listened
while she told him such fair story
that his eyes grew larger and larger,
and his mouth wider and wider, until
he soon fall fast asleep.
II don't think I shall read any more
now" said Rosie to herself. 1T is
time to go to the piano. I have to run
over those scales" and she darted up
the stairs and had just opened the pi-
ano, when her father appeared at the
doorway.
"You would oblige me, my darling"
he said, ''if you would close that pi-
ano. My head aches dreadfully."
"All right, papa. Twill get up early
tomorrow and finish the exercises
And she closed the piano softly, then
quietly left the room as her mother en-
tered.

child has!' said Mr.. Oppenheim. ut

prettier, Joseph"
"Not for the world, not for the

little beauty as she is; and if God
spares her, her features will grow more
regular.
Rosie did not hear her fathers re-
marks, although she felt that she was
loved even more tenderly from that
hour. But the sunbeam that caught
her merry laughter and bore it to the
clouds heard the words of praise, and
shone in extra lovely colors that eve

Mr.. Labouchere relates this story of
Bishop Wilberforce, which has not be-
fore, he thinks, been printed. The
Bishop was riding in one of the old
fashioned broad-gauge railway car
riages. and was seated at one end of it,
when he heard a truculent voice at the
other end exclaim: II would dearly
like to meet the Bishop of Oxford. I
will be bound I would puzzle him."
VERY WE'LL" replied the Bishop to
the speaker, who had not perceived
him, "now is your time, for am that
person."
The man was rather taken aback,
but quickly recovering said: "Well,
my lord, can you tell plain man
plain way to get to heaven ?"
"Certainly," replied tho Bishop;
nothing is more easy, You have only
to turn at once to the right, and 60
straightforward, ,n-Ne,O York Tribune.

A CUP OF COLD WATER.-One
day, seven years ago, when a preacher
went into the pulpit to preach, he
found that the sexton had forgotten to
put glass of water on the pulpit ia,
BILE. His throat was dry, and he felt
that he could hardly preach without a
drink of water. He was in a strange
church, and did not know how to get
the water without interrupting the SER
vices.
Just then one of the little girls in
the congregation noticed the empty
glass. Without disturbing any one,
She rose and brought full glass oil
water to the preacher. 1t relieved his
throat, and helped him to preach a
better sermon.
That preacher has never forgotten
that cup of water, nor the little girl
who brought it. And sometimes he
saws that if he can remember one cup
of water so many years, it will be very
easy for Christ to remember the little
things that his little ones do for him.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song o. old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps OF gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,
From heavens all-gracious king"
The world In solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world:
Above It's sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes Of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel.strain have rolled
Two thousand years Of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring:
Oh, hush the noise, ye men OF strife,
And hear the angels sing!
And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bendinglo
Who toll along the climbing way,
With painful steps and Slow
Look now; for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For, 10! the days are fastening on
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age Of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

American Gold Cannot Purchase Cuba
nor any Other Colony.

MADRID, March 20.-In the Senate
to-day, replying to a member of the
Opposition, the Minister Of the Interi-
or declared that Spain would never
consent to sell Cuba to the United
States or any other country, nor would
Spain, he continued, accept any price
for the smallest portion of her colonial
empire. Therefore the rumors circulat-
ed by the American press were without
foundation. He declared that there
was not wealth enough in the whole
universe to buy even the smallest por-
ton Of Spanish territory, and that in
case of need Spaniards would know
how to defend their country's soil.

Mr.. Spurgeon has it thus: III came
across very nice little anecdote the
other day. A child was asked if she
would like to stay with her Aunt Ma
ry or her Aunt Jane; both aunts Were
very kind. She said she would like to
stay with Aunt Jane best, because,
though both aunts made some tarts
and cakes. Aunt Jane always set them
on a low shelf, and she could easily get
at them. Some teachers have very
good addresses and talks to children,
but they are rather stylish-upon q
high shelf. Others are so simple that
they can get the cakes and children
like that. Have you never heard OF
the minister who used such big words
in his sermon, that one said to him
Il thought your Master sent you to
feed sheep, but you preach as though
he had sent you to feed giraffes.
Very few children are giraffe. Put
your cakes low.
