KLEPTOMANIA, Ann Winter, otherwise Thomas, was charged with stealing a lady's ulster coat, value £112s 9d, on the evening of the 17th inst., the property of Frederick James Somerfield, draper, &c Mr Blades appeared for defendant, a lady-like looking person, and pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy said he regretted that a plea of not guilty was put iv, as he intended to have askod the Bench to deal leniently with the prisoner; iv fact, believing that such would be the case, he had not sent for Mrs Cousins, the principal witness. Now he must ask for a remand. Mr Blades objected to prisoner being kept in custody. The Bench : Why did you not secure the presence of Mrs Cousins? Mr Pardy : For the reasons stated, feel ing assured that defendant would plead guilty in so clear a case. The Bench suggested that prisoner might be admitted to bail. The cose was therefore remanded until to-morrow on Mr Thomas becoming bail for her appearance in £20. . OHABGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES. Charles Henry Witherby waa charged with obtaining the sum of £4 103 from Frederick George Ewingtou by mcaus of false pretences, i.e., a Government pension order, on the 12th January. Prisoner pleaded guilty under certain cir cumstances, which wast interpreted as a plea of not guilty. Mr Pardy said the order given to Mr Ewington was valueless. The prisoner was in receipt of a small pension, and induced complainant to advance £4 10s on an order, upon which he had got a like sum from Mr Hughes. Prisoner said he would acknowledge receiving the sums upon the order, but ■without any intention of victimising Mr Ewington, but he had been ill in the hospital, which would explain why matters had not been arranged. The Bench wished to hear Mr Ewington, and that gentleman was accordingly sent for. Frederick Georgo Ewington, estate agent, detailed particulars. Prisoner called upon him on the 12th January and asked for the money on the order, which would be paid on its being presented to the Defence Minister at Wellington. He sent the order, charging 5s for his trouble. The reply from Wellington was, the order had been paid to Mr Stephen Hughes, which _he found to be correct. He immediately visited the prisoner in the Hospital, who said he was "hard up "at the time. He also gave a forged ordor upon his grocer for £3 a day or two after he had received the £4 103. Prisoner: I know nothing about what Mr Ewington says. To the Bench : I believe that the pri- Boner wilfully presented the order with intention to defraud. He believed also that prisoner was not in a state of starva tion at the time. Prisoner: I was, and Mr George Len drum can prove it. The Bench sent tor Mr Lendrum, also for Mr Maxfield, mentioned by Mr Kwington. George, Lendrum deposed that he knew prisoner ; he worked for him tor some time. He roughly slept on the premises, but was liberally supplied with provisions from Mr McEwen, of the City Buffet. While in the Hospital prisoner's pension went for his keep. Had paid him 10s a week until he got too smart for witness, and he was com pelled to order him to clear out at a moment's notice. He believed prisoner was not in a starving condition. Henry Maxfield deposed that prisoner got £3 worth of goods from him. Prisoner pro mised to pay him when his pension became due. He spoke to him about the money, when hed said Mr Ewington had the order, but on applying to that gentleman he found that prisoner had drawn the money. Ihe Bench, having considered the evi dence, sentenced prisoner to one month's imprisonment. A TERRIBLE THREAT. Wm. Henry Harper was charged with kicking his wife, Mary Harper, about the. body and threatening to end her sufferings by knocking her brains out, on the 11th instant. • Mr Theo. Cooper appeared in defence, and asked for a remand, and that bail might be allowed. . Mr Pardy offered no objection, and the case was remanded until Friday, prisoner ■bein& allowed bail, himself in £50, and two sureties in £25. CAN SUCH THINGS BE? Elizabeth Clarkson was charged with using violent language in West-stroet, New ton, on the 7th inst. Mr Clarkson pleaded guilty, but said she yras subject to fits. Mr Hurst: "Sou must learn to hold your tongue and keep your temper. Mr Clarkson said his wife was nervous and irritable. Mr Pardy said the cause of the irritability was alcohol, for which defendant had a weakness. The Bench wished to speak, but Mrs Clarkson desired to say that she _ was a woman of property and was not in good health. Mr Pardy said the language waa very offensive, and the public must be protected. Mr Clarkson spoke at length in favour of his wife. He did not approve of her con duct, but there were circum»tances which seemed to call for leniency on the part of the Bench. She hod injured her head by a fall, and waa suffering from nervous de bility. The Bench said it was a painful case. Mr Clarkaon : If she is fined, I shall be the sufferer. Fined 5s and costs. The witnesses were: Mr Donald, who claimed no expenses ; Jas. Harrison, who said he was a cook, and must have his ; and Mrs Mary Colby expected 4v for her trouble, bat was compelled to take 2s 6d. CHIMNBTS ON FIRE. The following persons were charged with permitting the chimneys of their houses to get on fire, and fined 2s 6d each for such negli gence : —Anne Kegan, Victoria Quadrant; George Birch, Moore-street; Harriet Mathison, Grey-street; Maud Wannop, Parnell; D'Auvergne de St. Croix, "Waterloo Quadrant; and John Owen, Beach-road, Devonport. Robert Hayson, wandering horse, in Hopetown'Street, was fined 2s 6d and costs ; John Farley, a butcher's little boy, charged •with riding fast around Fort-street corner, but on the recommendation of Mr Pardy, the case was dismissed. STONINa LITTLE MAUD. Henry Lowe was charged with throwing stones at Maud Hadrill in William-street on 25th April.

The modest little boy pleaded that be threw the stones, but without any iuten tiou of hitting Maud, who waa in her father's garden. Mr E. Hadrill expressed a wish to Mr Pardy that he did not wish to have the boy punished, as the case was of a trifling character.

The Bench gave the lad a caution against throwing stones in future, and discharged him.

DREADFUL TRAGEDY IN MELBOURNE.

Attempted Murder and Suicide

Through Jealousy.

MELBOURNE, May 10. ABOUT five o'clock this morning a horrible tragedy occurred at a house of ill-fame in Kussell-street. A young man named Henry Collcy called at the house aud uskod to see a young girl named Laura Nightiugale, alia 3 Mitchell, and was admitted to her bedroom by the proprietress of the house, whoso name is Lillie George. Shortly after his admittance screams of " murder " were heard iv the room, and the woman George finding the room door locked, burst it open, and saw Colley in tho act of cutting Laura Nightingale's throat witn a razor. George attempted to prevent the execution of the horrible deed, but was forced out of the room by Colley, who then returned to accomplish his murderous desigu. George, when pushed from the room, rushed to her own bedroom, from the wiudow of which she called loudly for tho police, but no assis tance was at hand. George then rushed into the room again and seized Colley by the hair, pulling him away from the victim, who was in a fainting con dition from loss ot blood and the shock to her nervous system. Colley then caught George by the head, beating it violently with one hand against the wall, and endea vouring with the razor he held in the other, to cut her throat, but the frustration of the double crime was prevented by a young girl named Lillie Edwards, who arrived at the moment and seized Colley by the hair. Finding himsclt overpowered by the two females, he drew the razor across his own throat, cutting it from ear to ear. The woman George then ran out in her night dross, which was besmeared with blood,aud found two policemen, who, on arriving at the scene of the tragedy, found both victim and perpetrator in a dreadful lookiug state, and apparently lifeless. Both were con veyed to the hospital, where the surgeons expressed an opinion that the chances of the recovery in either case was remote. The g'nl Nightingale was a woman of the town, and had been, some time ago, taken away by a medical man who married her, to Sydney, where they both resided for a short time. For some reason she left him and returned to this city, and resumed her immoral life. Colley's character ia not unsullied, and the causo of the deed is supposed to be jealousy.

OPENING OF WAXWORKS

The waxwork exhibition by Messr3 Christofani and Co. was opened in the Albert Hall this atternoon. The short time at the disposal of the proprietors prevented them from getting their figures iuto position by 10 a.m., at which hour they were announced to be on view, but at two o'clock all was iv readiness, and the doors were thrown open to tne public. We were aflorded an opportunity ot inspecting the exhibition during the forenoon. Some of the figures have been on exhibition here before, but since their last visit to tais c;ty, the proprietors have added many new and attractive features of interest to the show. The figures of the Queen, Princess of Wales, Princess Dagmar, Prin cess Louise of Hesse, Duchess ot Buccleugh, Empress Eugenic, Isabella of Spain, Mary Queen of Scots, Donna Blanca, Margarie Scott, Florence Nightingale, and the group representing the judgment of Solomon are still in the exhibition. One of the most in teresting additions is the artistic group re presenting the death of the Prince Imperial at the hands of the Zulu*. The Pnuce la shown in the act of falling, with an assegai piercing his breast. Two troopers are with him, and both have received their death blows from the native weapons. These assegais, it may be mentioned, wore ob tained from ZuluUnd, and possess the peculiar iuterest of having been used in the war. The group is rendered complete by the presenoe of three Zulus, who are in the act of hutliog ad ditional weapons at their victims. All the figures are remarkably lifelike, and the group is one which will attract considerable attention. An interesting subject for phre nological study is the cast of Ned Kelly's head taken after death. It bears a close resemblance to the representations already exhibited, and its genuineness is attested by the fact that it bears the impress of the Victorian Government stamp. There are also figures of the Werberg Avoca gold robber, Morgau, a desperate bushranger, Sullivan, the New Zealand murderer, and Captain Moonlite and Thomas Kogan.the Wantabadgory bushrangers,who were executed in Darlinghurst goal, Sydney, on January 20th, 1880. Another interesting group represents the Melbourne Opera House Tragedy of last year, in which Mr Greer shot his wife and Mr Soudry through jealousy. Mr Christofani proceeded to Melbourne for the purpose of securing faithful casts of the head? of the parcipi tant3 ot the affair, and has so far succeeded that he has produced a capital group of the Ho sitting in the circle of th •■ theatre at the moment of the assault. The expressions of the faces are good and the likenesses life-like. Several other figures of considerable merit complete the exhibition so far as the main room is concerned. But it is in the ante-room that the priucipal iuterest will be concentrated. There the Kelly gang will be exhibited, aud this group forms no inconsiderable attrac tion to New Zealand sight-seers. Excellent and life figures of Ned Kelly, Dan Kelly, Stephen Hart, and Byrne are arranged on the right hand side, with their un fortunate victims, Constables Lorigan and Scanlon, and Sergeant Kennedy. This scene represents the conflict with the police at Wombat Bange3. The dresses used are said to be exactly «imalar to those worn on the occasion of the unequal fight. Kate Kelly, the sister of two of the outlaw?, occupies a position to the left of Ned. On the other side of the room are figures of Ned Kelly dressed in his original armour, ser geant Steele, and guard Dowsett. They are all very natural looking, and form a group of unusual iuterest. The additions referred to have made a wondcrtul improve ment in the exhibition as a whole, and it is certainly deserving of close inspection. Ine waxworks will remain open until ten o clock this evening.

Signor de Vivo announces in Melbourne that haviue completed an arrangment with Madame Leomi, Signora Palma, and Sig nor Steffani for an extensive tour of concerts through the colonies of Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America, he will give a short series of farewell concerts at the Town Hall prior to- the departure from Melbourne of I^adame\Boeroa and her associate?. ;, ■. _

SEIZURE OF THE INDIA.

An Extraordinary Story.

(From the "Age," April 28.)

Tub steamship India was seized last uitjjjt h v direction of tho Commissioner of Customs. The circumstances under which the seizure was made are singular. The vessel arrived iv Hobson's Bay oq Wednes day morning last under the name of the India. Just at this time Constable Me- Kcnzie, of Queenscliif, read a paragraph in the " Scotsman," taken from the Glasgow " Eveniug Citizen," relative to the mysteri ous disappearance of a steamer called the Ferret from the Clyde in Octoberlast, Ihe following is the paragraph referred to : " ' Vessel Lost, Stolen, or Strayed from the Clyde' Under this singuler heading the Glasgow 'Evening Citizen' of Satur day prints a curious narrative, of which the following is a summary of the principal statements : ' About the middle of October last a geutleman giving the name of Walker called on a load ing firm of ship store merchants in Glasgow, represented that he was acting as brokor for a gentleman of means who was going on a long yachting cruise, and desired to favour the linn with the contract for tho provision ing of the vessel References were aakod, and found to be satisfactory. It was stated that the vessel had been chartered from the Highland Railway Company. It was also given out, more by ambiguous allusion than by direct assertion, that the person for whom Mr Walker appeared was named Smith, and a relative of the late Uirst Lop) of tho Admiralty. The goods were, thertj. fore supplied, including, it is rumoured, a lar»e stock of the highest class wines from London. The vessel was then lying at Greenock undergoing an overhaul at tho hands of Messrs Steelo and Co., to make her more suitable for the new work and waters in which she was to bo engaged for the next six months, The name of the ves sel is (or was) the Ferret; and, to give an idea of her appearance, it may bo meu tioued that she is a screw steamer, 170 J feet long, 23 feut bicad, and 124 feet deep, having a gross measurement of 317 tons. She 18 fitted with compound inverted engines ot 90 h.p., having two cylinders of 23 inches and 40 inches iv diamctor. Loth vessel and engines were constructed by Messrs J. and G. Thomas, of Glasgow, in 1871. Having completed their task of providing for the six months' hungers and thirsts of the yachtsmen, the merchants presented their bill, amounting to £1490, To liquidate this account Mr Walker gave his acceptance at three months' date, but the (inn asked Mr Smith aleo to Bigu the bill which was done. Asjafurtherprecautionthcy communicated with tho bank on which the bill was domiciled in London and iv reply to their queries were informed that the parties referred to had an accouut there. But ere the bill was matured, on 16th January last, some information came to the ears of tho merchants, tending to make them a little uueasy about the claim. When the acceptance became duo it waa presented iv regular course, but, as was by this time anticipated, it was returned dishonoured, Mr Walker's balance having been lifted aud the account closed after the bill was granted. Tho gentlemen whoso names were furnished a3 references were next com municated with, but no response came. Inquiries were now at once set on foot as to the whereabouts ot the Ferret, but these proved equally fruitless, When she left the Clyde she was taken round to Cardiff by a crew of runners, who then left her, the only onca staudmg by being the captain aud engineer?. At this port she shipped a new crew, and, having coaled, started ou her cruise. Not being able to 'ascertain where the vessel had sailed for, the merchants ap plied to the Highland Railway Company, from whom the vessel had been chartered. At the beginning of the present week tho secret iry of the company, in replying to the Glasgow firm, said : " We have already done all iv our power to trace the Ferret, having got no chatter-money from the parties since they sailed from Glasgow. We have been in communication with Lloyd's and the Board of Trade, and through Lloyd's agents and the British consuls inquiries have been made all over the world. About 16 days ago wo heard that she was at Malta, but, on telegraph ing there, we had a reply that she had not arrived yet. We have ordered her to be stopped at Malta if she puts in there, and if we get any information regarding her we will tie glad to let you kuow. Altogether it has been a very mysterious affair," Various have been the surmises set afloat »9 to the course steered by tho Ferret. It seems to be pretty well established, how ever, that she passed through the Straits of Gibraltar, though she did not touch at Mar seilles, as Messrs were informed it was Mr smith's intention to do, in order to take a party of friends on board. Hor return is anxiously watched for, uot alone by the railway company and Messrs , but also hy a number of other traders and shop keepeis iv Glasgow, who, by the promise of cash in 14 days and co forth, were led into furnishing Mr Smith and Mr Walker, some with silver plate and cutlery, others with uapery, and others again with china, crystal, &c Altogether the accounts left unpaid in Glasgow may bo estimated at over £2000."

From the description and tonnage of the , vessel Constable M'Kenzio was led to believe that the India was identical with it. I He accordingly forwarded the extract to his ) superior officers, but its importance did not , appear to be recognised. During Mr A. T. Clark's visit to Lightning Kock, Constable ' McKenzie showed the paragraph to him, ' and acquainted him with his suspicions. < Mr Clark then telegraphed to town, and : Detective Mackay commenced a searching i inquiry into the matter. He learnt that . 1 the crew were not allowed on shore, and that the fires of the engines were kept banked so thi>t she could get up steam at : 15 minutes' notice. The description of the vessel also tallied with that of the missing steamer. The circumstance of her arriving in ballast without being consigned to any one, with her agent and proprietor on friard, was also considered extraordinary. All this strengthened the belief that the India was identical with the Ferrbt, stolen in October last from the Clyde, and Mr Clark determined on making a seizure last night. He accordingly proceeded to the yes. sel, which isanchorcdoff Williamstown, with Mr Hawdon, Mr Hammond, Mr Barr, M.L. A., detective Mackay, and two boati' crews of the water police, and boarded the vessel at 8 p.m. The captain and chief mate offered no resistance, although they appeared to be greatly astonished at the seizure. A thorough examination of the vessel was then made by Mr Wilson, a practical engineer. He found that the place where the number of the vessel is always cut into the iron beam was battered to a considerable extent, and bore traces of new numbers being inserted. Indeed, after i a close examination he could read the num ber 63,864 (the number of the Ferret) covered over by 77,972, the fictitious number of the India. Lloyd's registry, how over, does not bear any such number for a vessel named the India. The bell bore no name, but where it is generally inscribed there were traces of a file having been used. On the capstan, too, there was no name. On examination of the register of the India it was found that she went under the name of the Caracas, which she evidently assumed at Liguria in the Spanish main. She then appears to have gone to Bermuda, and while there changed to the India, and obtained a fro3h register. A document was also found, which consisted of a sea man's discharge note, bearing the date of Cardiff, the 22nd October, in the name of Ferret, Inverness, which at once set at rest the identity ot the vessel. Besides these circumstances, tnere have been other things discovered which all point to the vessel being the same as that stolen from Cardiff. Shortly after her arrival here she was placed in the hands of an auctioneer for private sale, £10,000 being fixed as the figure at which she was to be sold. The India, otherwise the Ferret, is a splendid vessel. Her burden i 5347 tons, and is buiii for speed. Her appointments in cabins, &c, are perfect, and she appears to have been in tendod for pleasure rather than trade. She has a crew of 18, with tour officers, whe are all remarkably reticent. The chief mate, Owenn, at first exhibited a desire to show Mr Clark round, but when the proofs of the vessel's identity with the Ferret were ' noticed he refused further assistance. No vessel of the India's description, with her tonnage and number, is in Lloyd's registry. She is built of iron, and has powerful euginea, being able to travel at the race of 16 or 17 knots an hour. THE CREW CONFESS. Soon after her seizure the crew made full confession, and the reputed owner and the master were reported as missing. Captain Espiuasse, the shipping master of the port, proceeded on board the vessel yesterday morning, under directions from the Minis ter of Customs, Mr A. T. Clark, to endea vour to obtain the ship's articles, which ought to have been deposited within forty eight hours of the vessel's; arrival, but : which—though repeatedly applied tor were never supplied. Captain Espina«se • seized the articles, and as subsequent • examination induced the-belief that they : were forged, a warrant was applied for the arrest of the master, Mr H. X, ; Wright. The articles bound'the crew for a I voyage from Cardiff to Marseilles, and i thence to any port for a period of three years, but sham articles, purporting to be

made at Bermuda, appear to have been sub stituted. The narrative of Frederick Nicholson, an able seaman, is that the ship proceeded trora England as if to Marseilles, showing her number at Gibraltar; but in the night her head was turned, and she was taken to Brazil, where a cargo of coffee was shipped and taken on to the Cape. Here the cargo was sold, realising £13,000. The name was changed twice on the voyage. From the Cape the vessel proceeded to Mauritius. She never was at Bermuda, it is sworn, though her papers date from there, and, further, the crew aver that all the names given on these papers are false, not being the true names which were given at Carclltt. On leaving the Mauritius the steamer cleared out for Guam, so that she brought no mail and her destination was a secret. The raeu declare that the reputed owner is goirjg by a false uame, and that the master was kuow formerly, not as Wright, but as Callyne. The constable who gave the information which led to the seizure is James Davidson. His name was incorrectly stated at first. It is stated that the ostensible owners have been offered £8500 for tho vessel since she has been in this port, but they declined that offer aud wanted £10,000, which nautical men say she is worth. Mr Henderson, the reputed owner, appears on the ship's books as purser. His real name is said to be Walker. On arriving here he took up hia residence with his wife at Trump's Hotel, Collins-street; but on Weduesday he abruptly paid his bill and left with out giving any clue to his destination. Henderson, was afterwards arrested at Longwood, where he had evidently pro ceeded with the object, if possible, of making his escape to bydnoy. _ Hendorsons mode of escape from the surveillance of the polico was very clever. On Thursday morn ing after the seizure of the vessel, he drove do"wn in a cab to Sandridge, aua went on board tho vessel; Ho took a number of boxes and trunks'iu the cab to Saudridgo, but brought thorn all back to Trump s Hotisl, Collins-stroct east, with othor goods he took from tho ship. All the impedi menta were taken into the hotel, the build ing being watched by three detective otlicors. Henderson not making his re appearunco tho ollicors went into the hotel ut nightfall, and found that the bird sup posed to be salely caged had llown. When searched £130 in gold was fouud in his pos session.

The pleasure of the young people who trip it on tho light tantastic too cvory Tues day evening at tho Pamell Hall was some what marred last uight by an accident which befell Mr A. Alderman. He was en gaged in threading the mazes of a quadrille, when he tripped upon his partner's train) and fell heavily upon Uh left side, tho left arm receiving the lull force of the concussion. The accident was so unexpected that several other couples who were following close behind stumbled, and before they could stay their progress, foil over the prostrate dancers. Mr Alderman is experienced in the Tcrpsichorcan art, and the accident, therefore, is not attributable to any awk wardness on his part. The only injury lie has received is a Bpraincd shoulder.

But is not God or his Providence in all these things ? Yes, certainly ; as with_ the falling sparrow. He does not kill the little bird ; he docs not iind the nugget of gold ; he does not strike down the swearer; he does not destroy the ship. Do you know any qualities or attributes in God that would do these things ? Ah, you know very well tb.it to carry out such .an idea you would make God the most absurdly contradictory Being that ever perplexed the thought of men, Kow, that God could prevent auy of these thing?, I should not like to say. Any more than that he could uot. Here we are wisely Agnostics. All we know is that he doea not. Tliey come to pass, as you veiy well sec—by easily explained causes and opera tions.

Watching it all, I say, to see that the sun shall rise on the evil and the good, and the rain fall ou the just and the unjust. But never to interfere witli human liberty, responsibility, activity. Is he there, then, as an idle spectator of what His Divine forces are effecting ? No, by no menus. But what do we know as to the qualities of God? Is Oca great mechanic or a Spiritxial Father?

THE AUCKLAND EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY. MA^JB



T"\ IV IN E PROVIDENCE AND HUMAN IMPKOVIDiSNCE; OR, Rklioion Not Superstition. [A Sermon Preached by the Rev. S. Edoek, May 15.] Matthew X.. 29 and 30: " Are not two sparrows sold for a farthinf?] And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Hut the very haira of your head are all num bered." There are two occasions when the people generally are apt, as wo sometimes say, to lose their heads—times or. religious excite ment and occasions of groat (apparent) public calamities, coming suddenly. It is the yiartof wisdom to wait quietly till the chief excitement is over, au<l then look steadily into the reality : as you seek to do with some mysterious object of fear in your path. Kvcu this is not easy, because of that strong tendency which leads must people to prefer living in an unreal world of the imagination, rather thau deliberately to take off the deceptive veil of appearance (tor things are not what they seem) and look into the very face of this life's real things. You know when Socrates told the Athenians that their idols were uot gods, they called him an infidel, &c, though we all know that he was almost the only one in Athens, whose belief in God we should respect. Nevertheless, this strange fact still repeats itself, and whosoever will come ever so little "nearer to God" in just ■ thoughts of him—the only way in which we can come nearer to him—must meet the slanders of bigotry. It is the same with the diviue Providence. Any attempt more intelligently to apprehend it—and surely there is need for thia—is rebuked as disbe lieviug in it. I should esteem life of very little worth indeed, if the diviue Providence were absent from any part of it. But listening to what many (not all) havo to say on this matter makes one feel afresli the truth that God spoke by prophets,—" My thoughts are not as your thoughts, not my i ways as your ways ; for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my thoughts than your thoughts, and my ways than your ways." It there is all that difference between God's thoughts and ways and man's, there is likely to bo not a little between what His Providence is, and what men think it. I do uot forget this for myself. There is singular beauty in these vorses; not merely for what they say, but also for what they do not say. The idea seems to bo of sparrows sold in the market by the archer who has shot them for that purpose. Now, Christ does not say that God shoots them, or has anything to do with it, nor with selling them; but' that it does not happen without Him, without His kuow lcdge and watchfulness; and He docs uot say it for the sparrows, but for man—in a sense for the sparrows, that we may learn to look upon them and treat them as God s creatures; but for man chiefly, as verses 30 and 31 show, that we may learn to see God and to know him in all things, great and small. Here are plainly three questions—What the divine Providence is ? How it enters into human life ? And how it should affect us in thought and action ? The difference between religion and superstition is just the difference between clear spiritual perception and ignorance, lieligion sees God in his eternal qualities or attributes, recognises his presence by those qualities, and therein understands (how ever imperfectly) his thoughts and pur poses. Superstition says God must be there, because we are Btartled, and don't know what is there; perhaps do not wish to; and, as the easiest thing to ignorance, prefer throwing all responsibility from our- Belves oi to God. The miner finds a rich, heavy nugget and calls it a Godsend, though he no more thought of Him when he was looking for it than he means to re gard His will in using it. An intoxicated man uses a great oath in a passion, bursts a blood-vessel and falls down dead. People say it is a judgment of God, forgetting that God has no pleasure in the death of a sinner, and the millions of oaths that break no blood-vessel to the one that does. Or, again, the wind raises the stormy waves and, in consequence of some neglect, casts that vessel on to the rocks to the loss of many lives, and we are told of special Pro vidence, forgetful that that very same wind has been carrying in vaiious forms and places innumerable blessingß to man kind, in which we are not told to see any Providence, and that with proper human care the vessel would not have been 1 wrecked. All this is as much ignorance or superstition as when the child sees all sorts of shapes in the darkness, and call b . them ghosts and hobgoblins. . ' "
