When they arrived at a village, they were immediately surrounded by innliiiudes of natives, men, woman and children, who showed no sort of timidity, but came boldly up to the travellers, and examined their persons and dress with "reat eagerness.

INSUBORDINATION BAD COMPANY

Habits of insubordination at home, and the company of bad boys abroad, are the two great sources of evil which undo so much of what moral and religious instruction would otherwise elleet. The current of parent d interest is setting toward instruction to such an extent as to overrate altogether its power and the immense injury which conns in from such sources as bad company and insubordiuat:on. is overlooked and forgotten. What folly, to think that a boy can play with the profane, impure, passionate boys which herd in lae streets, six day? in the week, and have the stains all wiped away by boiii" compelled to learn his Sunday School lesson

It is interesting to know where Cod has taken those whom we trust he has called to preach tho gospel of his beloved Son; and whit has been his providential dispensations lo lle ni prior lo the tim" of conversion. Tho above f.;cts may serve lo teach the church whence she may expect her future ministry and what her ceriesp anient obligations in the department of Sabbath School and p-.renlal instruction. It :. from ,er bosom chiefly, as these fads testify, that tiro world is to receive the ambassadors of Christ. Wh uiin immense responsibility then rests upon ti e churc'i.'.

iravebed among them, and was much interested in liiem as a n il ion. So did Mr. Burton, the Biphsi Missiona y, formerly at Tappanooly, and he travelled s.fely. The inquiries of Messrs. Munson and Lyman induced them to believe tint, with their pi-

cinc intentions and their pic;:1.e. appearance as travellers, they also should incur lutle d tnger of violence. They ware the more inclined to this opinion, as tho presiding officer at Tapp mooly, an European, had g meamong the Billas, not long before, unhurt. Some of their native friends, however, had fe ns as to the result of the journey, and urged them to delay unlil more definite information could be obtained as to the manner in which tiie Raj dis ol the interior would receive them. The accounts ddf r as to the nature of the advice they received from those whose opinions were most entitled to respeel, ihat is, the Europeans residing at llie place; but, afer weighing everything, the two missionaries determined to proceed, Irusimg in Cod. The day before their dep iriure, they wrote a letter lo one of the Secretaries of the B.nrd, of which ihe following is an extract. It was probably the las! letter they wrote. "We have made propirations to penetrate as fir as the great lake, which is in the heart of the Batta territory, and return by another route lo this place. Mr. Beimel, tho poslholder here, who, ihoui'h n

Catholic, ire its us with great kindness, lias linns, If

Our arrangements are now completed, and to-morrow we siart. Should we return in one month, we may possibly reach Bitavia early in September. Thus tar the Lord has prospered us beyond our expectations. We trust the Board and the churches will make every possible exertion to follow i,p these incipient cflbns, and to thrust in laborers wherever ihe fields are while and ready for the harvest.

" s,'eh leelu.gs and wishes they commenced

The residue ol

re had no apprehension of clanger till the momi

of their departure, and then I hey were dismissed suddenly and with a single pang, to their eternal Ti s'. Mr M edhurst, after stating a variety of facts smd considerations which induced the brethren lo et.ier into the intei ior, adds : "The character of the brethren, and their tender

connections in Bitavia, would, in the minds of all who knew their dispositions and circumsl anceS, be a sufficient, guarantee for their having acted with ihe utmost prudence and caution. Il has pleased the Lord, however, whose ways are higher than our w is, to biing m ilters to this melancholy result, culling off our dear brethren at the very commencement of their mission try career, bursting asunder ihe lender bonds of connubial affection but lately formed, and crossing ihe designs of the Board for evangebzing the sivage race of Billas, at their out-

t. To us this event appears dark, mysterious, dis

tressing, and heart-breaking; but, in the adorable workings of divine providence, a reason must not onlv exist for this dispensation, but it may actually lend, in a way of which we cannot now perceive, to the speedier and more certain salvation of the Bitlas, the higher and more spiritual advantage of the bereaved widows, and lo Ihe encouragement of the Board and their agents to more earnest and vigorous elVbris in the cause of missions.

'With regard to the missionaries themselves, the

case seems stripped of much of its gloom; their h i

bitnal prep nations for eternity, their known love to

the Saviour, and their evident interest in llie new

covenant, made death to them sudden glory; and

n e might think that it was a p;!y Ihey were nol

spared to render the S iviour much seivice by their

continuance in ihe vineyard on earlh, hut our great Head may have designed them for higher and holier services before ihe throne above. And with regard io the mission itself, they will not be found in the great day of account, to have rendered it a partial or an inferior service. The soldier who fills in the forlorn hope, at the storming of a citadel, Ins as much share in the glory of the conquest, as he thai divideih the spoil; and when the list of worthies is made out, those may peril ips stand among the 'first three,' who nobly ventured and cheerfully sacrificed their lives, in llie good cause. "The stiff rings of their disconsolate widows have been great in the extreme; tears have been their meet, and sighs have been their relief ever since the melancholy event happened. We have endeavored what little lay in our power, to alleviate their menial agonies, and the community generally have felt the liveliest sympathy with them; but we are .all miserable coniforieis, and nothing but Almighty power

and love can effectually bind up their broken heails, and pour ihe oil of consolation iutolheir wounded spirits. May He give them beauty for ashes, and the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. I feel sitistied lhat the
