sionaries were University men. This
meeting is an evidence of the immense
interest excited in African missions in

SOME THINGS ABOUT INDIA

India is in the south of Asia, and the
people are under the control OF the
British government. Thereare in India
about two hundred aud sixty millions
OF people.
The people of India have dark skins,
but European features. The women
and young girls wear over the head and
shoulders a snOw-white covering. The
men and boys wear white robes and
caps or turbans.
The people of India are fond of music,
and all sing.
Most of the people of India are idola-
tors, and worship many idols. The
Hidus are early risers, and the first
thing they do is to repeat the name Of
Rama several times.
The religious teacher of the Hindus
Is called guru, and they are very care
full not TO offend him.

BOOKS THEIR OWNERS.

The public library is an unqualified
blessing. That and the school-house
are the greatest agents of civilization in
our time. only eth their cooperation
can that dream of the universal broth

would be as reasonable 20 say that art

form idle gazers into intelligent pur

the grand aud beautiful implanted
in his being goes to feast his
eyes upon the masterpieces of painting
and sculpture. So long as he looks
ubon them they are his; but that will
not prevent him from adjoining the

NArURALIsrs IN LITERATURE.

FIVE are to deal with literature as a
fine art we must hold it bound to main
tain all the reserves of good taste, and.
in that case, we can not admit that
it is altogether unrestricted either in
the choice or in the treatment OF its
bjects. There are things which are
not wicked in themselves, but which
are so offensive and rspulsive that they
have no proper place anywhere within
the pale Of the aesthetic. No degree Of
technical skill. or scientific accuracy in
representation, can justify their intro
duotion there. That which is simply
terrible or painful may be admitted.
