SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.

The sixteenth anniversary of the Wesleyan Sunday School was celebrated on Suiiday last in the church at faring Square. The building was specially pre pared for the occasion, a galleiy for 150 children having been erected, a dais for a choir of forty, and an orchestra platform. Miss Murray was organist and Mr Gamble conductor. The singing was really excellent and was much enjoyed by the large congregations who attended each of the services. In the morning the Key. L. M. Isitt was the preach:.r, ne»dless to say an eloquent one. He w«s also the speaker at the special children's service in the afternoon, which w*s a really charming service, the singing being very sweet indeed. In the evening the Ray. Mr Isitt, waa again the preacher. It was a difficult thing to get a seat if one came at all late to any of the services, and a place in the aisles or in the porch was all that could be afford to many. Most of the hymns sung were new, but were essentially children's hymns, and both poetically and musically were above the average. The hymn *• Ring, ring the bells, the joyful bells" to musio composed by Mr Llewellyn Owen, was very popular indeed.

The Pacific Cable.

(Received October 16, 10.15 A.m.) Melbourne, October J6. Premier Paterson has received a de spatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, stating that the Imperial autho rities share the views expressed by the Viotorian Government that ineonvenieiace and loss, and perhaps danger, might aiise in time of war by the Pacific cable passing through New Caledonia, and the Imperial Government could not bub view the action taken by Queensland and New South Wales in subsidising the cable, as an im plied departure from the principles of colonial cohesion and consideration for Imperial interests, to which prominence was given at the Color ial Conference in 1887. ___

GEMS IN VERSE.

My Hero.

Not laurel wreathed by Fame's uncertain band, Nor great when measured by the world's false scales, But on that greater battlefield, where stand The marshaled hosts of right and wrong, ne'er fails The one I praisel Not he whose voice among the busy throng In blatant vainly glorious pman floats, But in the' nmsio of life's golden song He strikes for me Contont's soft, tender notes— The one I laud! Kot he who on the garish day afar Bursts like a sudden sun with blazing light, But he whose life light is the polar star Of sympathy in stormy sea and night— The one I trust! Not he whose rootless faith the fickle hours Of time consign to dust—a wayside doom, But one whoso truth "until death part" bears flowers, Which in eternity shall ever bloom— Tho one I love! —Amy Seville Wolff.

High Ideals.

Welcome each high ideal! It will lift Your Ejoul to purer, brighter spheres than this, Where .carking care reigns not and all is bliss. Welcome each hope that through the black cloud drift Beckons you onward, upward from earth's sod, Far from the crowd of wranglers and their cries, Scaling the starry ladder of the skies And wrapped in the magnificence of Godl He,e& not the sneers of those who, money wise. Call you an idle dreamer, for their gold Will pass away when life's brief game is done, WhiJle the bright ore that in the fancy lies pure, undefiled, unpurchased and unsold Shall live as long as starlight or as sun. These sweets of matter on the palate pall; All flesh is grass—so the wise prophet said; Earth's choicest fruits all blossom but to fade; fhe rarest wines one day will turn to gall; Beloved lips will crumble into clay, And life clasped hands must part in cruel death; Yet, oh, the dreamer's dream is not a breath- Wrought of the mind, 'twill never pass away. Eternal as the mountain, it will live, Great, wondrous as the ocean and as deep— A rainbow arch quelling the waves from strife, To the tired soul the balm of peace 'twill give, Rest after toil and after joyance sleep, Illuminating the shadow shore of life. Welcome each high ideal! In its light All noxious plants that grow within the breast Will wither, and, like beacon on a crest, Hope's star shall rise refulgent on the sight, And virtues bloom,besprent with heavenly dew, Transparent as a gleam of amethyst, And, like lover's lips by lips of lover kissed, Hearts taste the balm primeval Adam knew. liike twitt'ring birds sweet fancies come and go, Singing by crystal streams on heather brown; Far o'er the hills, caressed by golden beams, What wots the world around us when we know That peace and calm interminable crown That rich and radiant clime—the land of dreams. —Boston Transcript.

The Little Millionaire.

My little daugliter climbed upon my knee And said, with an air of great mystery: "I've a secret to tell you, papa. But I must whisper It close in your ear. And don't you speak of it, papa dear, For there's nobody knows but mamma, "I am very rich! Very rich indeed! I have far more money than I shall need! I counted my money today— Twenty new pennies^ all of them mine, And one littlo silver piece called a dime That I got from my Grandpapa Gray. "I have fourteen nickels and one three cent, Five silver quarters, though one of them's bent, And, papa dear, something still better- Three big white dollars, not one of them oldl And, whisper, ono beautiful piece of gold That came in my Uncle Tom's letter." Then she clasped her small hands, laughed meiTy and clear, Put her soft, rosy lips down close to my ear (Oh, so lovely the fair, curly head!); "Am I not very rich? Now, answer me true, j Am I not richer—far richer—than you? Whisper, papa," she artlessly said. I looked at her face, so young and so fair; I thought of her life untouched by care, And I said, with a happy sigh, As my lips touched softly her waiting ear: "You are exceedingly rich, my daughter dcarl Ten thousand times richer than I!" —Young People.

The Incurable Hurt.

Taint likely cz a awkward chap Like I am, "big an stupid, 'Ud ever go a-monkeyhi round : A dandy kid like Cupid; But, major, dern my ugly mug, I done it once fer certain, An of I live a hundred years The thing'U keep on hurlin. I never know'd a woman's ways Tell one day little Kitty, Her that's the banker's only gal, Come down from 'Timber City, An stoppin at our boarding house Begun her purty flirtin, I guess with all the boys around, An me, that's doggoned certain. Them eyes uv hern shined like the stars, That speckles night all over, An both her cheeks wuz purtier than Two medders red with clover. An when she talked—good Lordy, me! Why can't a man take warnin? It seemed to me like all the songa The bird sings in tho mornin. : I drinked it in an wanted more, : An she, I guess unthinkin, Wuz tickled half to death to see -v j A thirsty man a-drinkin; .;.\\ ' An let me have it every day, From June clear to October, Tell I wuz drunk an crazy wild, An she thought I wuz sober- At last I up an told her straight That I wuz fairly dyin Fer lovo uv her, an, dern my boots, She just broke down a-cryin, An told me it wuz all in fun, That she wuz only flirtin— An ef I live a hundred years The thing'U keep on hurtin. —W. J. Lampton.

What Not to Lose.

Don't lose courage; spirit brave ' Carry with you to the grave. Don't loso timo in vain distress; Work, not worry, brings success. Don't lose hope; who lets her stray Goes forlornly all the way. s. Don't lose patience, come what will; | Patience of ttimes outruns skill. I' Don't loso gladness; every hour i, Blooms for you some happy flower. !' Though be foiled your dearest plan, |? Don't loso faith in God and man.

'Tis Passing Strange.

tL A chemical change to some seems strange t I' B^t 'tis not strange to me, C For it turns my thought to changes wrought I More wonderful to see. E How does it chance that ignorance W Ip homely girls may be r Converted in tho prettier ones To sweet simplicity?

War.

k Brutal alike in deed and worci, * With callous heart and hand of strife, I How like tv iiend may man bo inn.de, I Plying the fotji and monstrous trade ) Whose harvest field is htiinan life, Whose sickle Is the reeking swordl —Whittle*.
