It has been truly said that death is no respecter of persons, and the young as well as old are brought low by its sickle keen, This week it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the un- expected death of little Willie Bowie, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bowie, who died Nov. 28th, at the age of 9 years and 8 days. He was a particu- larly bright little fellow and it seems almost incrediable that one so young and healthy with every indication of many promising years ahead of him, should be taken away by that grim reaper death. He had been ill only about two weeks of rheumatics but nothing serious was anticipated. The funeral took place Sunday and was largely attended. Two handsome flor- al tributes were sent, one by the Ep- worth League of the James Street Methodist Church and one by Miss Pringle, his teacher. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all. Be Careful Iloys. Now that the sidewalks are covered with snow and ice it affords the aver- age small boyan ample opportunity of a jolly time on the hand -sleigh, but it would be well for them to take warn- ing against the dangers that arise therefrom. Just the other day we wit. nessed what might have proved a, ser- ious clamity, A little boy had been in- duced t0 let on a sleigh while another would give hitn a ride. This of course was excellent sport to the little Fellow,' and the older boy in charge ran down the street at a rapid rate for a consider able distance, when alt of a sudden he came to an abrupt standstill,' hurling the sleigh around and throwing the boy with terrible force against a post and thus bringing him to grief. The boy when picked up was almost lifeless. and it was thought that he was don- gerotisly injured, but Luckily after con siderable time he survived froln the shock.

Years ago an old darkey whose mos er had some fine, fat turkeys, made up his mind that he must have one of those turkeys, and, as he tells the story, he set to work to get it by prayer, "I prayed to de Lord," he said, dat he would send me one of dem turkeys. I prayed dat way mornin' and ebenin' for a week, butstill dat turkey didn't come, and I tells you my mouth was jes a-waterin' for it. So I says to myself I must change dat prayer, and so I pray ed one ebenin' dat de Lord would send me after de turkey, and brethren, dat turkey was here before daylight. THE FAMOUS NEW BOOS, "DARKNESS AND DAYLIGHT," OR Lights and Siiadows of New York Life. In this new and superbly illustrated work a noble Christian woman tells the thrilline. story of her personal ex- perience in Gospel, temperance, mission and rescue work in a great city. No. recent publication is now commanding so much attention nor has any other called forth such ringing words of " God -speed " from ministers and, emi nent women. It has been preached about from famous pulpits, read by tens of thousands of subscribers, and made the subject of many a clergy- man's Sunday evening lecture. Its authorship is fourfold, its four authors being no less than : —Mrs Helen Camp- bell, Rev. Lyman Abbott, .D D., Col. Thomas W. Knox, and Inspector Thos. Byrnes. Chief of the New York Detec- tive Bureau. Mrs. Campbell, the principal writer, certainly was a woman commissioned of God, and " In His Name "spent many years as a city 'missionary literally "In Darkest New York." 'What a wonderful work she did. How devoted and blessed her labors were. .It is a story 'never to be forgotten. This unique volume presents these thrilling experiences of„Christian endeavor with the hundredsof pathetic and amusing scenes that were packed into them ; it portrays life in a great city by .day and by night," As Seen by a Woman "; it shows the power of the Gospel to re- deem souls from the lowest depths; it gives striking testimonies of the re- deemed; and from, all these rich and varied experiences it draws living truths for head and heart that are worth to any reader ten times the price of the book. Mrs. Campbell's account of reseue-work is full of wonderfully touching incidents. Stranger, stories are here told than romance ever dream- ed of, every one of them drawn from real life by a woman's hand. In every chapter she weaves in anecdote after anecdoto,'incidcnt after incident, story „after story, and the reader's attention is held breathless to the end of the von ume. " Strange but most suggestive in fact," says l3ishop Coxe in warmly. commending this volume, that Christ is to be visited iii these dens and dives; IT LOOKS LIKE WINTER !

S P A C K M A W& CO., Samwell's Block, Exeter. there are those whom He will bear in mind when He says : ' Ye visited me'; when or, he says: ' Ye did it not to Me.' " Rey. Dr. Lyinan Abbott's life-long interest in City Mission work, and bis personal share in that work, pre-emi- nently fitted him to write for this book. In his introduction to it he says:— " My interest in these phases of city life dates, from my college days. From that day to this —overathird of.acent.•ury—I have con- tinued the studies then begun, and the sub- jectofthis book has been one of the great subjects of my study—sometimes in litera- ture, often in life." No appeal from temperance advocat- es can do more to promote the cause of temperance than the thrilling scenes and incidents so well described; at least to say Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and Miss Francis E. Willard. One of the most absorbingly interest- ing portions of the book is that written by Inspector Byrnes giving the ripe experience of thirty years of detective life. Many of the startling revelations he makes are taken from his private diary. They have never before been published. This fascinating volume is indeed a wonderful tale of Christian love and faith, all alive with intense and strik- ing reality. The best of it is that it is a pure and elevating book from begin- ning to end—a volume for the family circle. On this point the words of Rey. Dr. Twicheli (who has a family of ten ehitdren) and Rev. Dr. Magcun, Presi- dent Iowa College, are worth quoting here: Dr. Twichell writes,—" My wife says that she is going to set our` young people on the hook right oft, for the good it will do them "; and President Magoun says:—" My -family finds, where other books on our shelves lack interest, this one always holds and re- wards attention". It contains 252 superb engravings every one of them made from photo- aphs taken, from life, mostly by flash- light. Every face is a portrait, every scene a stern reality. In looking at these splendid illustrations the reader sees at a glance just how Gospel work is carried on by day and by night by rescue bands; he is shown strange sights in out of Ibe way places that are rarely or never seen by the casual visitor; he is taken into cheap lodging houses and cellars; into the homes of the poor; into newsboy's lodging•houses; into the police and detective departments, 'etc., —nothing seems to be omitted. We do not know when 740 pages have given us more genuine pleasure. If we speak warmly of the book, it is because it richly deserves it, It is sold only by agents, and is meeting with an enormous sale. Agents who intro- duce such a work ought to be cordially welcome. A better work has certainly never come to our table. It will be read over and over again by old and young, with ever increasing pleasure and lasting profit. The work, is published by the old' and well-known firm of A, D. Worthington & Co,, Hartford, Conns whose imprint is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of this first-class volume. Royal Octa- vo, 740 pages. 252 fine plates, port- raits, and text illustrations. Mr, Diamond, agent agent will call on few days andgive an op you in a youT portunity of examining the book.
