Trust in God.
BY NORMAN MCLEOD.
Courage brother ! do not stumble Though the path be dark as night ;
There’s a star to guide the humble— Trust in God and do the right.
Let the road be long and dreary, And its endirgs out of sight :
Foot it bravely—strong or weary— Trust in God and do the right.

Gems of Thought.
Hatred is blind as well as love. Memory—bosom-spring of joy. Kindness—nobler ever than revenge. The greatest pleasure of life is love. Autumn nodding o’er the yellow plain.
Hate no one—hate their vices, not them- selves.
Man is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so.
Learning is pleasurable, but doing is the height of enjoyment.
With most men ltfe is like backgammon, half skill and hali lnck.
To be a great man it is necessary to turn to account all opportunities.
Justice is the key-note of the world, and all else is ever out of tune.
Who hath not known 111 fortune never knew himself or his own virtue.
The English law punishes vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
That laughter costs too much which is pur- chased by the sacrifice of decency.
Kindness in ourselves is the honey that blunts the sting of unkindness in another.
It is always safe to learn, even from our en- emies; seldom safe to venture to instruct even our friends.
It is often better to havea great deal of harm happen to one ; a great deal may arouse yon to remove what a little will only accustom you to endure.
A modest person seldom fails to gain the good-will of those he converses: with, because nobody envies a man who does not appear to be pleased with himself.
Every blade of grass in the field is measured ; the green cups and the colored crowns of every flower are counted ; the stars of the firmament wheel in cunningly caleulated orbits ; even the storms have their laws.
The child’s grief throbs against the round of its little heart as heavily as the man’s sorrow ; and the one finds as much delight in his kite or drum as the other in striking the springs of enterprise or soaring on the wings of fame.
Love, when founded in tae heart, will show itself in a thousand unpremediated sallies of happiness; but every cool, deliberate exhibi- tion of the passion only argues little under- standing, or great insincerity.
Judgment is not a swift-growing plant ; it requires time and culture to mature it, while fancy often s arp up and blossoms in a single hour. The fragrance of the first, how- ever, is lasting, while that of the latter is as transient as its stem is fragile. ]
The Famine in China.
Letters from Shanghai, just received, indicate that the reports of the China famine were far from exaggerated accounts. The Netherlands Ministers-Resident, in an ap- peal to his countrymen for aid, confirms the worst we have heard, and goes on to state that in spite of the intense cold the sufferers had been forced to pull down their houses, sell their timber, eat the rotten sorghum stalks from the roof and the cried leaves which they usually burn as fuel. Then they sell their clothes and children. Having no more clothes many take refuge in pits built underground to keep them- selves warm by the fetid breath of the crowd, a course which is simple death, For the suburb of Ching-Chow city there are four such pits. One-third of the num- ber, 240, originally put in them, died with- in six weeks, and yet no sooner is a corpse carried out than a crowd is struggling for the place. Starvation by inches faces these unfortunate people, and deputa- tions of old men who come to beg relief weep like little children before you when there is none to be had. Nota day passes but one must refuse to many who ask it, perhaps the last bit they would have eaten. To add to the horrors of the famine, typhus fever has set in.
oiled iat * Interesting Statistics.
During last year the number ot strikes in the United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Ireland, of suflicient importance to be classed independently, exceeded 200. More than 5,000 days of skilled labor were lost, which at a low estimate is equal to £1,000,- 000 sterling in wages, but counting derange- ment of business, the effect on trade, the excesses, and other evil results due to idle- ness and ill feeling, more tian £2,000,000 in actual loss may be charged to strikes during the year 1877.
It is now claimed that the United States produce more carpets than any other conn- try in the world. In 1875 the value of the product was $32,376,000, In 1872 its im- portations of carpeting amounted to nearly $6,000,000 ; in 1877 they were only $675,- 000.
The largest flour mill in the — is now, according to an American r, bei built at Nia “4 Falls. Its ca erty will be about 1,200 barrels a day. The structure is placed on the hydraulic canal, which has a perpendicular fall of about 190 feet.
The fifth publication of Behm and Wag- ner’s well-known ‘‘Population of the Earth” makes the number of the earth’s human inhabitants for the current year 1,439,145,- 300, an increase of 15,000,000 over the estimate of last year. The inerease is at- tributed partly to natural growth, partly to exact knowledge due to recent censuses. The distribution of the population among the grand geographical divisions is as fol- lows : Europe, 312,398,480 ; Asia, 831,000,- 000 ; Africa, 205,219,500; Australia and Polynesia, 4,411,300 ; America, 86,116,000.
The number of sailing ships built in Eng- land, Scotland and Ireland during the first half of 1878 was 350, against 359 in the first half af 1877, with a gross tonnage of 89,842 against 100,892 ; of steamers 274, against 181, with a tonnage of 239,470, against 139,682 in 1877.

A “Sea Devin.”—A correspondent of the Standard, writing from Labrador, states that a sea serpent or some species of ‘‘sea devil,” had been seen at Pack’s Har- bor, on that cost, two or three times dur- ing the summer. The correspondent says: ‘The serpent rose out of the water with a sharp point something like a marliifg-spike, which increased in size until it was as as the Great Hastern. Patrick Dawson saw him yesterday, and he said he could sail his boat under the curve described by the monster when he reared himself out of the water. The mast of his craft would not reach half way up to him. This is no romance—it 1s a certain fact.” Probably the next man who see it will suggest the possibility of running the (reat Fastern under the curve made by the monster, and the next man may propose Noah’s Ark. The story of its dimensions is sure to in- crease with the repetition of it; and there is no knowing what vast proportions ma be attained at last, if the last observer will only keep his eye fixed on the monster.— St. John’s (N. F.) News.

The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed by physi- cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of itssuccess and superior virtues as BoscHEE’s GERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can geta Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderful cures are on Bo everyone that use it.
Three doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold by all Duggists on the Western Continent.
