THE WHEEL, The Stupendous Undertaking of SteTeng, the Cyclist.

A Trip of 10,000 Jl'IUb Throns Europe and Atia. I Boston Eeralil Thomas Stevens, the trarscontinental cyclist and the anther of the series of papsraentitled "Across America on & Bicjle," the first of wtiih appeared in the April number cf the Oatiog tat izine, has been in Boston doting a part of last week. At the recent reception cf the Massachusetts Bicycle Club rumors were afloat to the effect that Mr. Stevens contemplated the clrcnravolation of the globe, aetride the "whirling wheel." With this rumor was another, that Mr. SteveEB would make this unprecedented journey under the auspices of the Oating magazine. Accordingly a representative of the Heraid calltd cn Mr. W. B. Howland, the tieasoier. at the cosey rooms ot Outing, on Tremont street. In answer to the reporter' rather direct ques tion, Mr. Howland admitted that the rumors were substantially true, and suggested that, as Mr. Steyens was in the oflice, perhaps the reporter could glean from him a much better idea of the now definitely decided upon jour ney. Mr. Stevens was called and Introduced. In personal appearance, he is somewhat bslow the average height, but of substantial build, with broad ihouldera, strong frame and muscles, a rosy and tan complexion, and a genial face. He readily imparted ths information desired. 'I understand, Mr. Stevens, that you have decided to make the journey around the globe on a bicycle." "Yes. or rather to complete my tour, for I have already ridden about 2 60D miles of it, on B17 wheel, from San Francisco to Boston." "When do you propose to s'.art, Mr. Stevens ?' "I fihall tail on the steamer City of Chicago, from New York, on April 0 for Liver pool. On my anival at that city I shall spend teyeral days in visiting meads. The 1 Hin&l start will be made about May 1." "What equipment will you carry?" "In the first place, I ehiil take my 00 Inch expert Columbia, or rather it will take me. I shall use the best long distance saddle, shall carry a change of clothing, a light rubber ccat and writing materials, a'l securely fas tened to the machine. I shall depend upon purchases en route for needed supplies. ' "Can yon give the readers of the Herald a famj correct idea of your journey aad TITE FF.INCirAL 1JISTS you will touch? "I think so, bat like the weather, it will bs subject to change." "We will lake it cn that basis." "I shall whel from Liverpool to I) )ver, vl across the straits of Dover, land at Ca!ai3, wheel to Paris, through France at d Gernnny to Vienna, through Austria and Turkey aad via the vaile v 01 the Danube to Constantino pie, cros3 over to Scutiri, in Asiatic Türke, touchiDg at Erzeroum and ether pointä i t rers.e. I expect to retch Teheran, tie capital of Persia, some tiire in the fall, I shl probably winter at that city or at Bokhara, Turkestan. I hope to resume my journay early in the spring. I shall wheel into the Chinese empire, and attempt to go through tbs emtire, via the valley cf the lang Toe Kiarg to Shanebai. I may b obl!gi to materially chance this course, lor we hi7e no authentic guide, or the defiuite experi ences of travelers, to work out tb.3 pro'Oib'.e reception cf the native?, or maay unforeseen dilrcnlt:es. After cross'ng the Chinese em pire I shall proceed to Japan, and there shall end my wheel ridp, having made the entire land journey around tne glob) on k bicycle. I thall take steamer for S ia Fran 'i?co, and probiblv stop over oae steamer at tfannwich Islands. "Hjw lo3g do you expect it will take yon : ' "I anticipate it will require abou' t i'aUei month, out tf which ahout one year will be upon tbe read." "And ths wheeling dijlaice will be " "Nearly 10,000 miis actual wheeling", which, added to about 3,"00 miks ia crossing Arceiica, will bring tbe total distance on u bicycle up to over probably l'J.000 mile3, at least." "Do yen not expect to undergo hardships Ed pria ions? ' 4 Perhaps eo; but, even If they were d?liaiiely assumed, i should not hpsüate. I intend to go AROVSn THE W0F.LD ON A EICYCLT, and shall do bo. or elsa, ss the playwrijh'.s tay. 'perish in th'j attempt.' " ' Bat suppesa yonr bicycle gives out?'' "Perhaps it mav, bat that is the least ol the 8npposab'e difficulties. I rode a Standard Colambia in my trantcstitinental trip, and the machine is substantially as strong as it ver vsa, and tbe roadi over the Rockifta cujht to be enough to wear ou: any criiaary rcacbine." "Bot ihe natives, the 87age3, the heathn Chinee?" little txperieDce with North American I tCiar.8, acd I ntss theheathtLSof other lands L ie not any worpe." I tt lit j uii .iuuijr ito uic a int. okj,tu cf your life?" "I suppose that it is of to use to refuse a representative of the Herald. I was born in Gr-at Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, Eng.. on Christmas. 1835. I am unmarried, ana ray lather and mother ar both alivj, and at preftut are living nesr Kansas City, M I tame over to tne United States in 1871, imded at New York City, and went at once 10 Mifonri, where I had a brother. I worked with him cn his firm several vear. Four 5 ears ago I emigrated to WjorriogTerrito'y, a id wa in the emp'07 of tu Union Pa j.d railroad roUing mills. Having anatardl lo?e for adveature, and desiring to write op tbe journey for some rnazine or pipar. I contemplated neakiog a bicye'e trip trom the Facifcc tn the Atlantic. I went to Sin Franf 133c, and there besan to prepsre for ihe journey. I purchased a Standard Columbia bicycle, and, after becoming a fairly good rider, I started upon my toar. You know the rest." ' Or e question more. You go uad?r the au'n'cf of the Outing Magdz-ne'." "Yes; tbey pay the entire expenee of the journey. I shall write for them aserie3of a dczn or mors pr ers, wh'ch will be illustrated with ecgravits made from sketches and photographs from along ihe roate. I nfcall prcbably inspect place and people thu few white men have ever teheld, and consequently my papers mnt describe scae3 aid incidents exceedingly nofel and interes iu, and perhaps of a nature which von newjappr men would call 'exclusive.' " After aFsuxing Mr. Stevens that he hd his best wühfs far a hieh!y succcsital uadartakicg, the reporter withdrew. THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL Iuternatlunal LrMon-Df Llenry ,f. Oroot, D. !. April 10 tio'.njta Kumt Act 4 rt: 115 Golpxs- Trxr. He thaukel Gol anl toek courBKe. Act L'i-li, Tfc lard to hieb Paal and hU cmnnicEt hed teen driven aod to which "all es

caped safe," proved to be Melita, now Malta; dow Malta; 1 ix all i&land, seventeen miles 1

long and nine broad, and now in possession of the British Crown. Another island, Me le ts or Meleda, h&s been claimed by some as the (cne of the shipwreck, but tbe claim bas no solid s'lnpcrt. Melita ia a Phoenician name, and the island seems to have been or iginally colo nized by Phcenicians from Tyre cr Carthage. The people were called Dtrt arises to distinguish them fron Greeks and Kornaus; not to mark them as uncivil ized or taviges. They had manufactures and tadscme bu;ldirg?. The narrative affords 1. An interesting picture of heathen hoslitalitj(2 So kindly and cordial, this must rave bten most welcooae. Drenched and chilled, the case of the whole company was sorry enough. The natives took pity oa them and Bhowed them "no common kindne?s," kindling a fire, and receiving every one, because cf tte rain and cod. It i a mistake to suppose that all heathen are without conscience acd compassion. Wera it ctherwiee how could the missionary tafely go amone them; or find aay starting place m their hearts frcm which to build hope of their improvement. . But there is another side to this which Bobe rtson has well described. "There is a class of writers who talk much of early unsophisticated times. They Uli of the days 'when wild in weeds tte noble lavage ran.' But the txnth is, tbe natural good feeliDgs of human nature are only instiDc's, no more moral than a long sight or a delicate sense of hearing. The profuse ho?pitality of the mountaineer, who rarely ss strangers and to whom gold is little worth, be:omes shrewd and selfish calculation so soon as pa$3iDg trafhc is placed In his way. You may travel among savages who treat you as a stranger w ith cjurtesy ; but yet feed on the flesh cf tLeir enemies." And all this was true cf the rtcs to which these Melitais belonged. Still the kindness of these heathen may be a reproof to use if we are wanting in hospitality to strangers or compassion for suffering neighbors. 2. An example of Apostolic coodes:3nsion andbashfulness(3) Paul did not stind by with folded arms while the natives ba-)t the fire, and the sailors brought the fu3. With his own hands 'he g-ithered a bandle of sticks ard IHd them on the fire." We have seea his te p'ulr.e?s on the ship during the storm; aud lemember that he was wont to support hinself by labor Et his trad?. All this helped to make him independent. Bat it alio made him a man among commu men. Tntre are stilted people, awlnl in d'gnity, and cold in reserve, wbo never think of lending a hand, who are orer wiilirg that others ishouli watt upon them, and do all tbe menial things: and then they wonder they never get near to other heart. '6. CeiUin wrong inferences from right principles (4 CY That vipers are not no found in Malta Is no proof that they did not once abound there. This one, i: would seem, fss'ened upon the Apostle's hand with its deadly fangs The natives expecred to hira drop down dead. They had a natural eetfBof justice, a natural conviction that tbe guilty v.ill 13 punished. In this they were right. It is true there Is a jostGod, true that sin nnrepented ill not go unpunished, and true tbat a'l suffering is eomeho t the frnit of sia. But their inference, tbat this jarticnlar calamity was a penaltv fcr tome specific crirxe wa5 a mistake Wear notsotanht. All ills are from Gol, bat that which in oae ca?e is a judgment, ia another may ba means cf gracious discipline, an interposition of mercy. The ether wiong inference appeared in ti e ciange wh'ch came over these Melitnns whea they taw that Paul was unharmed. They were riht in escribing his escape to divine power. God s hand is in every good as '.veil as every ill. Bat this world Is not the p!a:-? cf full awiid. Tacse who experience remarkable deliverer CcS or are greatly prospered are, not thereDv, proved to be eilhsr gods or favorites with Heavea. They may be good men, and trey mfty be quite other than whit tbey should b. The adjustment ot thtui will come by and by, aad ia another world. 4. A bint for those who wool 1 do good work for Chrisl (7 10.) -It was no doubt cn JullU6' account that th9 chief rr.aa of the it-' and invited tb shipwrecked company to his house. Bat Paul wss among thpm. And it is inteiesting to notice how ready he ever wis to imrrove opportunities to do any sort of goid. Just now we sa w him helping to feed the fire And hare a.aln we find him iiiinifterlng to the sick. Luke va3 no doubt present, but such medicine? as he hid sUrtei with mut have bv,n l-'tt witu tne wreck. And si Paul, entering where tbe father cf Pablius lay tzk, prayed and layed bis handa on him. And once more the power of Jesu was manifested in miraculous healing. Other alllicted cue?, hearing the news of what hai been done, also came, and other cures ware wroua;'j That which followed was precifely what w should expect. The hmors referred to ma have been gifts, and the honors were many. We may be sure Paul did not lose the opportunity thus afforded to tell the story of Jesus and to offer salvation to these peop'.e To yisit the sorrowiDg, the pjor, the sick; n show them kindness by sucn. assistance as we can render; to pray with and for them this, at least, ia in oar piwer, and it is asn-a way to their kindly thought. It opens the dcor of their hearts. It opens the door of their hearts Ought we not io make more lite of tb's means to reach men fir their prbtntc -mfcrt, ar,d particularly thai to we may win them for Christ? Ö A glimpe of sunshine breaking through tbe clouds (11-15) The three months speat in waiting at Malta muit have afiordei refr shing rest to the Apostle after ali his triads and penis at Jerusalem and Caesarea and on the Eta. We may 03 also sure tbat some converts were gathered. Bat the waiting is at length over, and still a prisoner he once more sets out for Rome. We are sure he has some questionings respecting wba: shall befaT him in that city. Weil-nigh alone, and no: so youthfal a he once was he could not have beea without some fears, as the final words of this pa39i?e indicate. We are never to forget that tbe bereis Paul as human, and that his sensibilities were &a keen as ours. Bat now the sailing was Eincoth, and some possibly unexpected jrjs awaited him. At Pateoli he found Cnristlan brethren, and with theai he waa permitted a week of companionsh p. And more gladdening stiil was the sarpr ee at Appii, Forum and the Thre Taverns. The latter plsc was thirty and the former forty miles from K"iue. At each of tbe3e places delegations irom the city met him. Tnat they shonld have braid of his coming, and thu3 come cut tn meet him! After all the-e centuries of time oir own hea-ts are glai for him. Is it etraye that he "tnaukei God and t .ck courepe?" 1 i:CTICAI. PUGGt-Tl 1S. 1 True n a-iltnesj ia not above the haaih lest f rms o' uefulner, 2. Worldlv men should not hi suffered to outdo us in sets of kindness. 3. Natural conscience testifies to ths eter rsl connection between wrong bmg and penalty. 4. ate greatest sufferers here are not the grate3t tinners, cor are the l est saiats the mcst prosperous in earthly things. 5. if by acts or loving service we have found a way to any heart, we should not lese the opportunity to command the grater jove cf cur Saviour. C. There is great cheer in demonstration of Christian afiection. We should let others know we care for them. They will thank God and take conrege. Give your teacher and minister this help.
