whose hideous-image is diseernable in every nook and eorner? The id: 1 of intoxicating liquor and the mass of the people lie pros- trate before it, a debased, depraved, wicked idolatry, which has brought upon us the frown and anger of a justly offended God. Would that we could realize this as we should, bnt this is one of the awful charac- teristics of sin that we do not understand its guilt, nor fear its consequences. If we want to escape the punishment that has been pronounced for idolatry, there will’ have to be a humble acknowledgment that we never sinned, and on application of the precious blood which alone cleanses and effects reconcilation ere we can be restored to the favor and enjoy the blessing of our Father in Heaven. Another fearful murder in Toronto, by a man underthe influence of liquor. In endeavoring to rescus his companion and draw him from the vile place where he was fitted for his dreadful work, the compas- sionate man had to yield his life.

We reply the r, becadte christian men and women to be carrying out the will of the aster, who came not to destroy men’s lives but to save them ! —_
It is easy to be nobody, and we will tell you how to do it. .Go to the drinking saloons to spend your leisure time. You need not drink much now only a little beer or some other drink. Meantime play dominos, checkers, or something else to wile time so that yon will be sure not to read any useful books. If you read any- thing let it be the dime novel of the day. Thus go on, keeping your stomach full and your head empty and yourself playing time-killing games, and ina few years you will be nobody, unless you turn out a drunkard or a professional gambler, either of which is nobody. There are any num- ber of young men hanging about saloons just ready to graduate and be nobodies.— Church Guardian.
In a recent speech, Canon Farrar said that the Temperance reform movement in England had reduced the revenue derived from excise liquors from £34,000,000 ster- ling to £28,200,000 sterling. It had in- duced the War Office to throw every dis- couragement upon the use of stimulants to the army. It had led the Navy and Merchant service to revise all their rules about the use of grog and spirit rations in the ironclads, and the great national lines of steamers, it had throughout the country, created some 4,000,000 of total abstainers. It had complc«tely altered the o!d tippling and boosing habits of a great part of Eng- lish society. It had twice over induced the House of Commons to declare by an in- creasing majority that the right of controll- ing the liquor traffic ought to be in the hands of those who are most affected by it, viz: the inhabitants of the localities them- selves. Surely all temperance reformers may take courage.
A Doctor’s Life.
EXPERIENCE THAT MAKE IT CHEERFUL AND OTHERWISE.
Quite a number of yonng men are study ing for the medical profession. We do not wish to deter them from this laudable pursuit, for a physician’s calling is one of the most honorable, ennobling, humasiz- ing, and useful in the world. Butali is vot gold that glitters, and the following are some of the sweets of a doctor's life: Ifhe visits a few of his patients when they are well, it is to get his dinner ; and if he does not do so, itis because he cares more the fleece than the flock. If he goes to synagogue regularly, it is because he has nothing else to do ; if he doesn’t go, it is because he has no respect for the Sabbath or religion. If he speaks reverently of

Great Tidal Wave.
Later particulars from the tidal wave at Batavia and Java, on the 29th inst., state that the sky is clear and communication with Seranghes has been restored. The temperature fell ten degress on Monday, but it is now at the nominal height. The town is covered with ashes, which was so hot when falling that it killed birds. Telegraph linemen report that while they were at work repairing a line near Anjer, early Monday morning, they saw a high column of the sea approaching with a roar- ing noise. They fied immediately, with- out learning the fate of the inhabitants. The quarries at Merak have disappeared and ail the people of the place have perished. The floating dock at the Island of Onrast, near Batavia, is adrift and is badly damaged. Java, though not the largest, is the most important among the islands of the Indian archipelago, and supports a larger population than all the other islands of the Indian ocean together, a@ population as dense as that of the most populous of European countries. Its He length is 622 miles; its greatest
reddth only 121, with an‘ area of 49,176 In natural beanty it rivals the most favored regions of the world. Through the mildness of its climate and the industry of its people, it possesses a richer store of valuable productions than almost any country of equal extent can boast; its rice ficlds make it the granary of the East Indian islands, and its coffee and sugar plantations are a perpetual source of wealth to Holland, the country which has the good fortune to claim its allegiance. But ite great drawback and the source of its present terrific disaster, is its volcanoes. The number of volcanic eminences is ex- ceptionally large and there is searcely an region in the world of equal extent fen | can boast of so many. The loftiest is, Semeen, with a height of 12,238 English feet. Batavia, on the northeast coast, is the capital of all the Dutch settloments in the east. In 1699 it was visited by a terrific earthquake and the streams were chocked with mud from the volcano of Gunong Salak (7.244 feet high), by which the climate was so affected that the city be- came notorions for its unhealthiness and was in great danger of being altogether abandoned. In the twenty-two years from
730 to 1752, over one million deaths in Batavia are said to have been recorded. It was captured by the British in 1811, but restored to the Dutch by the treaty of 18i4. Anjer, which our despatches state waa submerged by a tidal wave, is situated on the narrowest part of the Strait of Sunda, 18 miles west of Batavia. It is protected by a fort, and besides carying on a considerable trade in eastern curics- ities, supplies passing vessels with fresh water and provisions. Its population is considerable, but its amount is not known. Sunda Straits, on which all the lighthouses are said to be destroyed, is a passage be- tween the islands of Sumatra and Java, from the Indian Ocean to the Sea of Java. Its breadth is from 70 to 90 miles.

A novelty in meat foods is almost certain —indeed, is intended—to find its way te Great Britain and America at no distant period. The New Zealand rabbit nuisance has led to the establishment of a rabbit- tinning factory near Bienheim—an enter- prising town in that colony. It seems that ten or a dezen rabbiters are required to The process adopted is very simple. The rabbits, im- mediately after being shot, are disem- bowelled. They are next skinned, and the feet and heads are chopped off. The re- mainder is then immersed in hot water for several minutes, and is then ready for tinning. The scheme is already being ex- tended, so that the rabbit bargain may not prove an unprofitable one after all.
