t with yourse'ves, when you are gathered •aether in mi evening round you* tent do >rs or 10W the camp fire% ? What kind of talk do you indulge in ? What kind of songs do you ing? Are they such that your wives, your jwsetheaits, your sisters might listen to ? Is the humonr genuine and pure? Is your laughter the laughter of genuine or sinful merriment? At these times do you quit yourselves like men? And are you ftrong to denounce the transgessor, strong to uphold the Tight, strong to do battle for the cause of what is puie and seemly ? Does courage ally itoelf to parity, and in that alliance do you let your light shine before men ? Oh, if in this respect you have transgressed, be humble confess your sins, and before your Easter Encampment amend your lives, and pray for grace to show an example of true manliness. Thirdly, a seme of respons'bilty is a very essential fea'ure of true manliness How - deeply our Lord felt the responsibilities of his position is written upon the very surface of the gospel story. He, the greatest, was the \ servant of all. "He came not to be minislered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." May I remind you of one responsibility which is placed upon you. , There is associated with you a Cadet corps— a corps of boys. It is natural for boys to look up to men with a kind of reverence. They observe your actions, y Mir words, your manner of living They will be better or worse - for, the association wi*h you. An unconscious influence, m )re powerful tban any '■- conscious influence, will steal from you to them. , Remember this. Resohe that they shall learn from you uo manner of thing that ** is.evil. That thy shall see in you living :o exemplars of all that is good and noble. Here is an, additional motive for you to quit your sel.ve, like men. These boy soldiers will take their idea of manliness in some degree from yotU* Let them see in you a manliness that is worthy of the name. Fourthly—One ether element of manliness I will name. It is love Love pervades every word, every action of our % Lord Jesus Christ. His love was not ame c sickly sentiment, an empty emotion. It was the intense, abiding desire to serve his felJow men. If you would quit yourselves like men, you must learn to love others as Christ loved vi.- There are inauy forms of love. Patriotism is. one form—patriotism which is the Jove of one's country. We have a right to demand patriotism .of.youi'who are. pledged to fight for your "country. We have a right to be indignant if you fail in patriotism; if any of your actions injure instead of strengthening the 'Colony. For just as a Minister of the gospel is a professor Qt religion, so are yon professors of patriotism. But who is the tiue patriot? Is It riot hi who is ready on all occasions to fight against the enemies of his country? But where, shall we discover our enemies ? Russia may be an enemy some day—or France, or China. We do not know. But they are not »o now ; that is certain.' Moses and Joshua knew *here the real enemies of Israel lay hid. Not among the Philistines or the Hitbtes the Ammonites. They could easily be con quered. They knew that the happiness ot the; country , lay in gojdness, and th»t wickedness and vice were the ( only antagonists to be feared. lr rdifion,; vice, drunkenness, gambling,-self indulgence—these are some of the enemies of our country, enemies which most threaten our national life and prosperity. If you would quit yourselves like men, if you would be faithful to your soldierly professi n, you will S' on ths armour of G >d and make yourselves to be the opponents of these things. May God give «s all to be true and faithful men of

Christ, The pre»cher then reminded his hearers how Ireattntly, how lamentably they all, man and woman alike, had come short ot Christ's ex ample of true manhoodi He exhorted them to humility, penitence and manly confession, and that, then, confidently trusting in the atone ment of Christ and the forgiveness of God, they should go forth to quit themselves like men in the future as perhaps they had aever 4one in the past.

MR DAVID CHRISTIE MURRAY ON THE EXHIBITION

la an interview with a Ghrlstchcburon •< Press" repreientattre Mr P. C-hriitie Mcrray. relerring t > the exhibition, said : —v I moat own that I was perfectly astounded that a population of 640,000 could produce euch an exhibition It is most" creditable to yon in every respect, /no of its moat important fsatnres you owe to the efforts—efforts which I think have been icaveely recognised as they deserve—of Mr Hodgklna, of Dunedln. I mean the art gtllery- Too have tbeve, though not perhaps tha largest, one of the moat complete collections, and it is certainly one of the most remarkable features.of thit remarkable exhibition. Speaking of the pioj act of taking the ex hibition to London, I mty sayjtbat I have, in talking to some of the commissioners, urged that it tbonld be made essentially New Zealand, That Is to lay there should bsMjiotlaand Maori dances} there should be fern ga;lles and reprodpcilopß of your grand soehety. Then there sboald be • New Zealand restaurant, where nothing bat the produce from New Zea land should be served. That there should befrozan mutton and beef goea withoatsay lug, but there should alao be New Z .aland butter and cream, and New Zealand fl mr made Into bread, if you oould get New I Zeilaod fcoit, bo moon the better. Ido not know whether the soft leults^h>s -peaches, strawberries, greenofl*-^**o-' wonld be able to «*» r », out \t you could cive JW»ft"9n people strawberries and oream at Christmas with their dinner at the New Zealand restaurant, tbey would only be too glad to pa? 5i or 7a 6d for it. I fee! curtain tbßt, properly managed on the Hues I have indicated, the profits from a restaurant mob a* £ have described would go a long wsy towards paying the whole expenses of the exhibition."

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY DUEL.

Everyone hsuLtheard of the story of the two goats who, meeting on a narrow plank bridge, butted and fought for the right of way. A somewhat similar incident, says the New York correspondent of the •• Manchester Examiner," took place recently in Brooklyn between two freight trains at a railway cross ing- Traffic over the latter was delayed for ! over an hour by the obsinate rivalry of the two ' i engine drivers, who having met on the same ( track would neither of them consent to reverse his locomotive, and thus make way for the other. The two engines were facing one another, and the language of the two drivers I was of a nature lo render the atmosphere in I the vicinity redolent of brimstone. Every now and again they would interrupt their profanity to order to pull their levers and force back each other's train. Rut tbc locomotives were equally matched both in power and weight, and all efforts to butt one another bick into the yard were doomed to failure. A.I length the driver of the north bound train saw an engine coining out of the round house, which was manned by a couple of his friends. He immediately signalled them and they came to his rescue by running their locomotives up to the rear of his train. Then both eng neers started up their locomotives simultaneously, and by their combined strength the south bound train was successfully pushed back and the crossing cleared. Several thousand per sons witnessed this contest, which was of a I' novel and characteristically American nature.

THE ASHBTmTSEPrAitSxAN^ MOKDAY; MARCH 3, im>



STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE- To the Editor of " Saturday Night." Bir mingham, I recently came into possession of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be gUd to assist in making them public. The following letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Press. They come from a highly responsible source, and may be re ceived without question. Vfffy , MESSAGE from George James Gost ling, L.D.S., E.C.5.1., Ph.G.I., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Ftowroarket, July 18, 1889,



To Mr White, The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail. G. J. G. "To the Proprietors of Mother Seigels Syrup.



" Gentlemen,—The following remarkabl cure was related to me by the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Finb^rough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in con sequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year 1 and a half ago she was advised to try Mother vSeigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's operating Pills, "the use of her limbs was restored, and she is now; able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with! ease, frequently doing the distance in three-: quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who doubts), this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of, the villagers, who will certify to the facts. "Appended is the husband's signature to the statement _ - ' "(R. Spink.) "G. S. GOSTLING, "Ipswich Street, "Stowmarket." " » This is certainly a a very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by fhis simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cr>pp!e for twenty of her best yearsj years in which she should have had such comfort and enjoyment as life has to give.. But, on the contrary, she was a miser i able burden to herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us, are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder t is f No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lcrd ias enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us—we sjpeak it reverently—of the age of I miracles.



It should be explained that the most remark? able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a_ disease ot the blood* Indigestion, constipa tion, and dyspepsia cause the poison from, the partially digested focd to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism. Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then ■ emoves frox. the system fee poison already there. It is not a cure-all. It does its wonderful work eatirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs. But when were member that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseases that appear to be so different in their nature.



Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— These remedies are unequalled throughout the world for bad legs, wount?s, foul sores, bad bteasrs and ulcers. Used according to directions given with them, there is no very bad leg, or ulcerous sore, however obstinate or long standing, but will yield to their healing and curative properties. Many poor sufferers who have been patients in the large hospitals under the care of eminent surgeons, and have derived little or no benefit from their treat ment, have been thoroughly cured by Hollo way's Ointment and Pills. For glandular swellings, tumours, "piles" and diseases of the skin there is nothing that can be used with so much benefit. In fact, in the worst forms of disease, dependent on the condition of the blood, these medicines, used conjointly, are irresistible.



A WONDJSRFUL MEDICINE. Beectam's Pills Are universally admitted to be worth a guinea a box fir Billious and Nervous Disorders, such as wind and pain in the Stomach, Sick Head ache, Giddiness, Fullness and Swelling after Meals, Dizziness and Drowsiness. Cold Chills, Flushings of Heat, Loss of Appetite, Shortness of Breath, Costiveness, Scurvy and Blotches on the Skin, Disturbed Sleep, Frightful Dreams, and Nervoua and Trembling Sensa tions, etc. The first dose will give relief in twenty minutes. | Every sufferer is earnestly invited to try one box of these Fills and they will be acknow ledged to be



WOJ&TH A GDINEA A BOX For females of all ages these Pills are invalu able, as a few doses of them carry off all humours, and bring about all that is required. No female should be without them. There is j no Medicine to be found equal to Beecham's Pills for removing any obstruction or irregu larity of the system. If taken according to the directions given with each box, they will soon restore iemales of all ages to sound and 1 robust health. This has been proved by thousands who have tried them, and found the benefits which are ensured by their use. For a Weak Stomach, Impaired Digestion, and all Pisorders of the Liver, they act like magic, and a few doses will be found to work wonders on the most important organs in the human machine. They strengthen the whole muscular system, restore the long lost com* plexion, brine; back the keen edge of appetite, and arouse into action with the rosebud of health the whole physical energy of ihe human frame. These are Facts testified continually by members qf all glasses of society and one of the best guarantees to the Nervous and Debili. tated is, Bbecham's Pills have the largest Sale of any Patent Medicine in the World.



B^ECHAM'S MAGIC COUGHJip^^ a general, Asthma, BroncmrcCSectioiis, Hoarseness, Shortness of breath, Tightness and Oppression of the i Chest, Wheezing, etc., these Pills stand un rivalled.
