It is desirable that as many citizens as possile be present. The oc tasion pertains to matters in which every citizen is deeply interested. It is strange how closely men read the papers. We never say anything that men don't like but we soon hear of it, If, however, we happen to say a good thing we never hear of that nobody seems to notice it. We may pay some man a hundred compliments and give him a dozen puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to his greatness never thinks it does hirn any good. But if we happen to say anything he doesn't like or something he imagines reilects on his

character, see how quickly ho fires up and gets excited about it. All our evils are charged up against us, but we never apparantly get any credit for the good we do. Ex

Wallace's circus has its winter quar ters at Peru, in this State, and the Journal of that city says as soon as the circus arrived the usual string of worn out horses began to be brought around to be sold for the wild beasts dinners. Many of the animals are as good looking as the average farm or dray horse, but they all go at circus prices, which are 81.25 to 82.00 each and even with the small inducement there is a greater supply than demand. The St. Joseph Press hits the nail on the head when it says: We are painfully conscious of the fact that there aro too many young men in St. Joseph of good family and with good ability, who are drifting about aimlessly on the sea of life with no definite purpose in view. Life is short and time is Meeting, as those know too well who are engaged actively in life's struggles, and, we say it without bitterness, that it looks suicidal to see young men such spendthrifts of time and opportunity, which, alas, comes not too often to brighten the lives of any of us." Arrested for aiihliii. Advices from Bourbon Tuesday say, that Theodore Snyder, of that place, has been arrested on a charge of conducting a gambling house.

3I0IIE AIKH'T INDIA.

TADAYPALY VEER AR AG AVA ROY AGAIN CONTRIBUTES. Another Interesting Article Which Appealto C hristianity for the K-l-nit ion of 111 C'ountrv. If you turn your eyes for a moment to yonder eant you will see a great country, rising from the death-like slumber of ages, and exerting its best powers to move onward in the path of true enlightenment and reform. That country is India. You behold a spec tacle there which cannot fail to rivet your interest; which can't but excite your pity and compassion. In that country the great work of reform has commenced; in that country there is a struggle going on between old institutions and new ideas; between ances trial notions and prejudice, and is sweeping away in its resistless currents all the accumulated errors and iniquities of centuries. The light of truth has dawned over the two hundred and ninety-five millions of its people. Thousands and tens of thousands are every year casting away the fetters which have bound them for ages, and confined them in the prison house of ignorance, and they are endeavoring most manfully and consciously to vindicate the humanity which dwells within them. That sense is certainly cheering, but to what is this owing? Undoubtedly it is mainly o.ving to British energy and British enterprise and the exertion of that paternal government under whose care Providence, in its inscrutiable mercy, has placed my great, country. Since the British Hag unfurled on the soil of India this great work has continued and it has been carried on most nobly and in many cases most disinterestedly. Thousands have really been blessed already with true knowledge, and have also been purified and sanctified by more truth, and the blessings of those thousands and tens of thousands are coming in a powerful stream as it were, from my land to the European countries in order to honor the British andAmerican nations. I ask you and beseech you to do all that lies in your power to exalt and purify and regenerate the country, which, placed under the British government, has been the best that India could possibly be. But still there are cer tain blots in the administration of that country which ought to be obliterated. There are certain defects and short comings which ought to be remedied. And what government is free f rum errors and short comings ? It is my desire, certainly it is my humble duty to explain, what those short comings are; an J I do so with the greatest confidence, for I am about to appeal not to a nation that has no conscience but to a nation that has a generous heart, a nation that whatever its shortcomings and imperfec'ions, is anxious to do good to India. If only that nation could understand more fully what her wants are. India is now passing through a great crisis, and 1 trust that my humble utterances will be received by you in a kindly spirit. I hope and trust that the few suggestions I have to offer for your consideration, will be carried by you, into your own meetings, and into yjur Christian homes, in order that you may think over them, and take immediate action. If you desire to do good to India as a whole, you must look to every individual of its varied communi ties and try as far as possible to do justice to the whole nation. It is my humble and firm conviction that Englishmen stand t here in India merely as trustees. They hold India on trust . and they have no right to say simply for the purpose of their own selfish aggrandizement and enjoyment. They are accountable to that (!od who has plaeed Indii in their hands, and if there are sins in their administration, it is their duty to blot them out as soon as they see them, and believe them to be evil. They are accountable to (iod for for those millions of souls, those millions of bodies, that have been placed in their hands as a sacred trust. They cannot hold India for the welfare of New York or for the welfare of one section of the country here; nor for those missionaries, nor merchants who go there and live as birds of passage for a time, and never feel an abiding interest in the country, because they really can't do so. If they desire to hold India, they can only do so for the good and welfare of India thcrefore.all 1 say will, 1 hope, be accepted as the utterances of one who does not like to be partial to any particular section of the country, but desires simply to discharge a sacred duty to all. You cannot expect a good speech from me, for 1 am a foreigner, but I trust 1 shall at least speak candid ly and sincerly. You are perhaps aware that I have not come to America for the s.tke of business or pleasure. It is not to satisfy idle" curiosity, or to make money, that I am amongst you. A most sacred duty brings me here. I have a most important duty to fullfill, I come from India to tell you American men and women what you have done in my great country. 1 bring to you the heart felt thanks of two hundred and ninty-five millions of my countrymen for the great work which you have com

menced there and which you iiave carried on for some years past. What that

great country's work is you can only appreciate when you see it with your own eyes. It is not the opening of railways, nor the convertion of forests into smiling fields, to which I allude. It is no partial reform to which I draw your attention The great work which is going on in India, under the auspieces of the British Government and Christian church is a work o. revolutionary reform of through going radical reform, you are not lopping off the branches of cor ruption and evil; you have laid the ax at the root of the tree; you are carrying on a crusade against all the evils from which India has been suffering for many centuries. When India lay sunk in the mire of idolatry and superstitions when Monamed oppression and miss-rule had almost extinguised the last spark of hope in the native Indian mind. When Hindooism once a pure system of monetheisim had degenrated into a most horrid and abominiable system of idolatry and polytheisim. When the priests were exceedingly powerful, and were reveling in their triumphs over down trodden humanity. The Lord Jesus in His mercy sent out the British and American nations to rescue India. In obedience to God's injection England came and knocked at the door of India and said, "Noble sister rise," thou hast slept to long," 3nd India rose, the invitation was providential and the response too. India rose from her lithargy of ages, and saw the degraded condition into which she had sunk and asked England and America for help; and the help so much needed has been given. The earlier British rulers in Hindoostan were concept, certainly the means often employed by the early settlers were questionable but 1 looked not to the human agency that was employed, but the divine beneath it, and see the finger of the All wise Providence working for the redemption of my country. Continued Saturday. 'ity lTs and Down A well dressed woman walked into the Crocker building, New York, recently and took an elevator. Her husband saw her from across the street, and hurrying over took the next elevator. He went to the office where he knew his wife had business and found that she had stepped in and out again and went down on the next elevator. In the meantime his wife had gone down, and the elevator dispatcher said: "Your husband just went up in the elevator, I think he is looking for you." The lady took the next elevator up. Just then her husband came down. He looked all around and then enquired ot the elevator man. 'Have you seen my wife here?" Yes, she just went up this minute." The man took the next elevator, and he was no more than out of sight when his wife came down again. 'Your husband has just went up again," said the elevator man. "I guess he'll wait for me this time, so 111 go up," and up she went. Down came her husband a second afterward. "Did my wife come down again?" he inquired. "Yes and just went up again. She thought you would wait for her." "Well I'll wait here." He waited about live minutes and growing impatient, took an elevator for up stairs. She had been waiting for him, and come down again just as he disappeared. "Well 1 will wait for him and catch him this time," said she. After standing in the corridor several minutes she decided to go up-stairs and lind him. As she was whisked out of sight, he stepped out of another elevator. "Your wife has just gone up," said the elevator m in. The husband scolded a little under his breath and started to leave the building. At the door he hesitated, changed his mind and took the next elevator up Down came his wife at the same moment. "He's just gone up again," was the elevator man's answer to her weary look of inquiry, and he's mad as a hornet." "Then 1 had better go right up and catch him," said she. Up she went, and down he came. "Just went up," remarked the elevator man. "I'm blessed if I'm going up again,"' said he, "I'll wait right here." and he sat down on the stairs. Half an hour later he was sitting there, and his wile equally determined, was waiting for him up stairs. "1 hope they'll meet in heaven," remarked the elevator man. Exchange WISDOM.
