the 988ton fourmasted Norwegian iron sailing ship Mersey with her cargo of tons of South Ameri can dyewood for the Yorkshire fac tories has sunk beneath the Goodwin quicksands The crew was saved by the liteboats but nothing- could be done for the ship few hours roll ing on these sands broke her back then the sands began to low her piecemeal hull and cargo sack foot by foot until nothing but her masts stood up from the water Many a score of vessels have gone before her into these depths but not often so rapidly- Sometimes a mast will stand for a long time like a finerpost pointing the way of de struction Thus the large sailing ship wrecked in the same way and on the same spot kept a mast standing until the recent galea away Old tradition says that what is now the Goodwin sands was once a fertile called in the possession of Karl Goodwin From him it passed to the abbey of St Augustine at Can terbury The sea always wanted it and when the abbot in the extremity of his piety used the stones intended for the sea wall to build the steeple of Church the sea got its chance and utilised it by swallowing the fair island of That final destruction was in the year be fore the death of William But the sea had been gnawing at all throug the century Now the sands are ten miles long stretching northeast and southwest and one and a half to three miles broad They lie opposite Sandwich

they are indicated to relieve Signed Provincial Analyst for Quebec Montreal Dec Amongst the fairest and most lovely of all the enchanting spots upon this beautiful earth of ours if only a taw dry art had not vainly sought- to im prove upon that erstwhile ro mantic and picturesque village but now noisy and immoral town oh the of the -Mediterranean- Monte ranked foremost Nestling eucalyptus at the base of the lovely snowcarped mountains with the blue rip pling waters of the ever changing ocean at its feet so blue that the deep azure of the glorious sky above scarce dare vie with Ms vivid cerulean hues and reveling a many colored bloom which clothed its banks right down to the waters edge this scot was a terrestrial indeed But now the hand of man has chang ed this pretty secluded village into a very inferno For here have been erected those palatial though gaudy and pretentious halls to which vast crowds of misguided men and women craving for wealth flock from all parte of the civilized world And truly it is a weird spectacle piteous beyond expression to witness that inflamed and excited assemblage some gambling away their patrimony arid reducing an name which has been honored for generations to obloquy and shame Some throwing away in an hour tie accumulated earnings of a lifetime Some though few winning the coveted gold but in the hope winning more losing it all and much more Ladies their eyes flashing with suppressed ex- laying down their money on the fatal green cloth only to find it if- ft win raked into the pockets of the polished and welldressed marauders who are ever on the lookout for prey And saddest- of all when a father of a family who has hitherto maintain ed his household in comfort or even madly stakes his all of the decorous croupiers and rather than face the penury and pau perism which his beggared wife and children must endure Iron his insane folly he goes out- into the night end with pistolshot sinks his body into the grave and his soul into the bitter remorse of hell And so year after year it ever goes on Millions sterling raked annually into those rapacious money chests at the expense of a life of misery and beggary for thousands of human be ings But far vaster crowds risk not mere ly a short evanescent Hie but a long eternity of misery because they ob ject to the fancied trammels of a God- fear life They stake their all on this world forgetting that there is a hereafter But when the great Day comes when all the children of me will stand before the Divine how grievous and hitter must be their selfreproaches that they refused to accept His loving proffer to tie their Saviour and to avail themselves of the pardon He secured His and death for all who will east themselves at His feet For then alas it will too late Encouragement The following anecdote told by one ol the correspondents cheer some weary teacher its repetition Two men once met on a steamer and discussed many matters together
