—At Newton, New Hampshire, recently, a mad dog, being wounded, took refuge in a barn, where some of the hay became soaked with his blood. This was afterward fed to a horse, which became furious, biting and tearing at everything within his reach.

—The Pacific Mail steamship which arrived in San Francisco from Hongkong and Yokohama, May 13, brought 1100 Chinamen in the steerage, and all the next day express wagons, in which the coolies were packed like sardines, were seen discharging their human freight in the Chinese quarter.

—In London, a Thieves’ Honest Labor Society has been established, in which all the men employed have forsaken a criminal life and are now struggling hard to obtain an honest livelihood. A home is connected with the society, that those employed may be kept from associating with their old companions.

—An Eastern paper says: “An effort is being made to put a stop to the traffic in postage stamps by fourth-class postmasters as a means of increasing their salaries, which are based on the number of stamps sold, and which by the inflation of salaries thus accomplished, is made to cost the government about $2,000,000 annually.”

—The managers of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and Texas Central railroads, have effected a fast freight combination of their roads, which will go into operation June 1st, and they will regularly run 200 cars and seven sleepers daily through from Chicago to Houston and Galveston, Texas, from that date.

—In London, the policemen average only seven arrests apiece, and only one person in fifty-three is arrested; while the policemen of New York average thirty-six arrests apiece, and one person in eleven is arrested. It must be remembered that a very large proportion of the men who ought to have been arrested in London, Paris, Vienna, and other large foreign towns, have been sent to New York to be taken care of, and the authorities there are trying to do it.

—Two Chinese companies own a large amount of hydraulicking ground in the Humbug District, Placer county, which is being worked by sixty Mongolians, and according to the short hours they work, and the extravagant manner in which they live, it is self-evident that they are doing well. The large specimen that was found by Chinamen some time since, and reported worth $30,000, was taken from one of these mines, and its value, as near as can be ascertained by outsiders, was $12,000.

—The colored people of Virginia have inaugurated a movement for the establishment of an industrial institution in order to educate and instruct colored children in the mechanical arts. They have purchased property in Richmond, the price paid being $5,500. A little over $3,000 has already been raised, and a vigorous effort is being made to raise the funds still needed. It is proposed to start in these buildings first a printing office, afterwards shoemaking, tailoring, cabinet-making, and such other trades as will give promise of being self-sustaining.

—According to the late explorations of the English, German, and United States governments, it has been proved that the average ocean depths in the southern hemisphere are less than those of the northern hemisphere. The greatest recorded depth in the Southern ocean is 17,000 feet, while in the northern oceans 27,000 and 23,500 were found respectively in the Pacific and Atlantic. The greater range of water surface in the southern hemisphere is, therefore, in a measure, compensated for by its shallowness.

—The State prison for men in Massachusetts, accommodating 800 inmates, cost $1,000,000. The prison for women, with a capacity for 500, cost only $300,000. The difference is explained by the fact that women had the handling of the money in the latter case. Certainly the small economies which women are every day compelled to practice should have some influence on their general character, and tend to make them more economical in great things, to say nothing of their ignorance of the system of “division,” so largely practiced by men in the handling of public money.

Overwork.

It is by no means the case that all persons are in danger of working beyond their proper strength. Many are in far greater danger of doing less than they should, rather than of going beyond what they are able to do. And those who constitute this very numerous class, are always ready to appreciate whatever may be said by way of caution to those who labor beyond their strength. Yet there are some who should be addressed on this point, and for such these words are written.

We do not, however, address all who work beyond their strength. Those who spend all their energies in the mad pursuit of wealth, grasping all that they can reach, and keeping all that they once get, are persons that can be spared without loss to their fellow-men. The pursuit of wealth is their greatest pleasure, and their chief good. Mammon is their god. For his service they will sacrifice everything else. To attempt to check such men, is labor lost. They must have riches, though they perish in the effort to obtain them. The world is not the better for their living in it; and if they do not live out half their days, there will be few to mourn their loss. The same may be said of all those whose aim in life is their own self-ends. If men will live for no higher objects than such as these, their self-destruction by unremitting toil is no occasion for general lamentation.

But there are men who live in the world to make it better. They do not seek in every act to benefit themselves, but to do some good, and that where it is most needed, to those around them. They live, not to see how much they can get out of others, but to see how much they can do to benefit and bless mankind. They do not belong to that class who say, “The world owes me a living,” for these are the drones, the blood-suckers, and the sharks among mankind. But they belong rather to that noble class who, though free from all, have made themselves the servants of all, and who consider themselves debtors to their fellow-men. These are the men and women who live not in vain; for their paths are strewn all the way with good deeds. And were there a thousand times as many such, the world would be the better for it. To belong to this class it is not necessary to possess great talents, nor to do deeds that shall give you renown among men. By far the greater part of all the good done in the world is done in a quiet and unobtrusive manner, that brings no fame to the one who does it. But it is all written in God's Book, and will one day be brought to the light.

It is to this class that a few words should be spoken. Some of these are ministers of the gospel, some are physicians, some are merchants, and many are engaged in the labors of the farm or the household. You may honor God and do good to men in all these fields of action. As you have noble motives to incite you to diligence, it is not necessary that I should urge you to be active, and to work with patient, untiring diligence. A different kind of counsel is needed in your case. Do not destroy yourself by overwork. You cannot do all that is suffering to be done, even though you labor till you drop down. Be careful to secure rest; not that you may indulge in sloth, but that you may renew your energies for the great work before you. Let no day pass without in some way doing something to benefit mankind. But remember that if you are broken in health yourself, you must become a tax upon others instead of helping those who need help. Those who wisely use their strength will accomplish the most in the end. By all means work while God gives you life, but do it wisely and prudently in his fear. With broken health our work cannot be well done.

Speak Boldly.

By D. M. Cartwright

SPURGEON says that the great goddess Diana, now-a-days, is “unsectarianism,” and that the advice given to ministers is, “try and be unsectarian, and all that is sweet and soothing, and velvety and treacly, and you will succeed.” Spurgeon’s trumpet gives no uncertain sound. He says: “I wish to bear this witness, not about myself, mark, but about the truth which I have preached. Nothing has succeeded better than preaching out boldly what I have believed, and standing to it in defiance of all opposition, and never caring whether it offended or whether it pleased.”

Spurgeon is right. God is not in partnership with the devil. Truth never becomes more powerless than when she seeks to gain over her enemies by compromise. “Charity, concession, compromise,” is what error and Satan are always crying. The most successful reformers have always been the most radical, out-spoken, fearless men. This soft, cringing, policy work is all of the devil. It is his only chance for life. Let us be tender and loving but bold and outspoken. — D. M. CARTWRIGHT.

Missionary Work at Battle Creek.

By S. N. Haskell

Could the friends at the Signs Office see the eagerness manifested each week to obtain a copy of the Signs to use in missionary work, they would conclude that their labor was not unappreciated by the friends of the cause at Battle Creek. Last Wednesday there were not nearly enough copies of the Signs to supply the missionary workers. Considerable feeling was manifested on the part of those who had found interested readers, and could not procure enough copies to supply them.

This church takes a club of 503 copies, including 350 copies ordered for three months, besides a number of individual clubs of from six to twelve, amounting in all to about 700 copies. This added to the number of copies of the Reformer, Tidende, and Herald taken in clubs, which is about 350, makes an aggregate of over 1,000 copies of periodicals, besides tracts used by this church in the missionary work.

These Signs carry the rays of light, not only to every State in the Union, but to every nation where the English language is spoken. About fifty members of this church have become members of the Tract Society by the payment of one dollar, since they commenced this systematic effort, and have united with the Vigilant Committee to do missionary work. Over forty letters have already been received from various parts of the world. These letters give new evidences of the fact that many are becoming interested by reading the Signs; also they show that over a score of individuals residing alone and in small companies have embraced the Sabbath, who have never seen others of like faith.

Those who have taken no interest in clubbing the Signs and doing missionary work know nothing of the joy it brings to be the instrument in the hands of God in interesting souls in the work of Christ. We confidently look forward to the time when every company of Seventh-day Adventists will be alive in communicating to others the truths which have given them so much joy, by placing before them the publications upon the same. May the Lord speed the time.—S. N. HASKELL, in Review.

Sylvester; Marion County, Oregon.

By Alonzo T. Jones

This is a town of about one hundred and fifty inhabitants, situated about sixteen miles north-east from Salem. I began meetings here on the evening of March 13, and continued till April 12, giving twenty-six discourses, when the meetings were discontinued, till May 1, when I returned and held meetings till May 5. The interest was good throughout. Five decided to “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” Sold books amounting to $7.00, and obtained three subscribers for the SIGNS.

April 27-30, I was with Bro. Van Horn at Jefferson, where twelve covenanted to return to the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord, to meet together on that day for worship, for the study of the word of God, and to encourage and help one another on in the Christian life, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

The cause of present truth in the North Pacific Coast is bound to succeed.

ALONZO T. JONES. Salem, Oregon, May 11, 1877.

The Nobility of Labor.

BLOOD never makes a nobleman. The blood of the king is as poor as that of the peasant and often poorer. The blood of the autocrat, whose whisper shakes a nation and whose nod awes a continent, is no more crimson or of greater virtue than that serf which the autocrat despises. Birth never endows nobility. The magnificence of the cradle or the tinted frescoing and gorgeous drapery of the palace, never created rank. He alone is a nobleman who has made the world better and happier for having lived; who has fringed the clouds with silver beauty; planted the rose and watered it into bloom upon the desert waste; beautified the forest wilds, or gathered the splendors of the valley into symmetry.

There are millions of noblemen's graves, over which a tear was never shed, and which time has leveled to the even surface of the prairie, but the glow of their nobility which streams back through centuries charms a world into humble worship of its sublimity and genuine worth. Many a man has died unhonored and unsung, who left in every footprint, from his childhood to the tomb, a rich and brilliant legacy to the world, and no legacy ever worth commemorating was ever left the world, which was not baptized in the sweat of honest toil. From mental and physical exertion, the earth has been made to blossom, the seas have been covered with life, civilization has shot its sunshine into the gloom of rudeness, and Christianity has rained its softness into the world. On every field that bears a tempting harvest on its breast, on every brick in every building that was ever reared, on every book of value that was ever written, on every thought that burns to light the world, in every workshop and mine, and furnace and factory—wherever labor sweats are written the credentials of nobility.—Western Rural.

Glory.

MEN gather wealth, seek for fame, struggle for honor, and call the result glory. The mind of man, however, can but vaguely comprehend the wealth of meaning, the brightness and splendor covered by the word. It embraces not only the “glory of the kingdoms of this world,” but also the glory of the world to come. God has often given his saints glimpses of its true meaning.

The high priests anciently were solemnly impressed with the glory of the Most High. Those who beheld the baptism, transfiguration and ascension of Christ saw glorious things. John the Revelator beheld visions of surpassing loveliness and glory; but the “glory yet to be revealed” will far exceed everything in the past. When the Son of man comes in his glory then the “wise shall inherit glory” and realize in the fullest sense the dazzling splendor, beauty and loveliness of God’s glory.

The Son of Man Lifted Up

“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

The Old Well.

“THERE was a well near here,” said a bystander, “and very good water used to come from it, but it has been filled up for a long time.”

“Indeed! I never knew there was a well here, much less tasted the water. How did it get filled up?”

“Neglect, sir. Some rubbish got in, then part of the surrounding soil; and, as it was not cleared out at once, it got worse and worse till it is as you see it—quite choked up. I wonder if there is any water at the bottom?”

These last words set me thinking. I wonder if there is any water at the bottom? I thought how much this old well was like some Christians. The Lord Jesus spoke of the life he gives to the believer as “a well of water to him,” (John 5: 14); but are there not many who are supposed to be Christians in whom we do not see any water; and of whom we can say, as of this old well, “I wonder if there is any water at the bottom?”
