Just before the Toby was towed out OF

Gated sailors were brought aboard by
boarding house masters. Among them
was "Charley," a Boston newspaper man

Becoming sober he was greatly surprised
to and himself blowing the Atlantic Ocean
bound for China. At Singapore he went
ashore. engaged In fight, and was jailed.
Ye was released, and went to Hong Kong
by steamer, reaching there before Shurt..
leffe. He soon fell in with King O'keefe OF

Kong in his yacht to attend the annual
races. O'Kaefe took "Charley" to become
assistant king and ruler of his second larg-
rs: island, on which O'Kcefe is opening new

most brilliant OF the youthful band labor

by the mocker. Drink had the country by
the throat. When A. NJ. Sullivan lay or
his death-bed he sent for the speaker
pointed out to him that the Irish party
was going to be captured by the drink
power, aud charged him never to give uE
the battle. The public house had become
a more potent force in politics than church
or chapel. The apathy OF Christian men
and ministers was astounding. The scorr
and vengeance Of q trade grown rich BY
widows tears and chlldren's cries were al.
most enough to make one quail. Drinh

some OF his views, but those en- the drink

We are tempted to overlook. and often fall
to appreciate, our daily mercies. Ono hour
OF puin is more magnined than twelve hours
OF pleasure. An occasional eclipse Of the
sun excites more attention than its ordinary
shining. A desired mercy withheld throws
ton overclouds the vision and hinders the
sight, or at least the enjoyment, of many
blessings. Life is strewn with goodnesses
if we only note and enjoy them. No day Is
so dark but what some rays OF hope and Joy

GODS MESSAGE TO MAN.
PREGNANT THOUGHTS FROM THE
WORLDS GREATEST PROPHETS.

II That speak"-All Should Be Servants
OF God-"On The Palms OF MY Hands
He Awoke From His Sleep - Life
Strewn With Goodnesses.
To tho woman OF Samaria.
AS she stood before the we'll,
Came O wondrous revelation
From Strangers lips 1t fell.
As she questioned OF the future,
Reasoned OF the Christ to be,
LoI the weary Trav'ler told her:
IL that speak to thee am He!'
Was it strange that He should tell herr
Woman, sinner, Jew-cursed race
Was it strange that He should tell hes
At that lonely time and place?
Twas Il secret for the sages!
Prophet. priest, yea. seraphim
Could but bend entranced to listen
We're the secret told to him.
But a woman! Oh, the wisdom
Ofthe Master! Do We see
How He stUops TO raise the lowest
In this, II that speak am He?"
Never could she read the myst'ry
or the coming OF the Lord,
Nor In synagogue or temple
But her sin-seared spirit thirsted,
AS the Master knew it would,
When He proffered living water,
And his words she understood.
From the woman of Samaria
Spreads the message far and near,
And we know that midst our duties
We the steps OF Love may hear.
That beside our broken well-curbs
We may drop our tolls and cares.
Our perple1ities and questions,
All that mocks and frets, and wears,
While We listen for the Trav'ler
Coming toward Galilee;
Listen till we hear Him saying.
Il that speak to thee am He!"
And where'er the Gospel goeth
To the lowest Of our race,
Gladly borne by Gods evangels,
Messengers O! His free grace,
Lo! when dull eyes lift and brighten,
When slow lips attempt prayer,
Comes the surety that the presence
OF the Mighty One Is there.
Not alone, weary workers,
Are you In your ministry;
Still He says In your Samaria:
Il that speak to thee am He!"
'Tis the message for tho millions.
Wise and unw!se, sinners, saints,
Lay aside your definitions,
Creeds. and doubts, and dire complaints
Come and stand with ear attentive
On the road to Galilee,
Let your thirsting souls receive it
~ that speak to thee am He!'
