'is hriet lank ,' began Mr, Dixon, "ie still
laheuring under the curse of Paganism, How
many men and. Nyman in this enlightened
age still believe in aigns, and tokens, and
luck, and fate. How many, even of those
present, still hove an idea that what is to be
will be, and that ell their trying on not
change their fate. It is the old curse of the
kagan gods which atilt bangs over up and
tnakes us trot to chance to get into heaven.
" Anortlitate became of these petty betiefe
which eten dee more enlightened of us often
hold treble:dowdy, do we /dim trifles to mold
• and influence our whole life. This belief in
• fate and deathly, that God has selected
certain ones to be saved—not so common
now as it once was, theok heaven—I have
heard likened to an illustration in whioh
Pasteur sou hundreds of patient e suffering
hydrophobia all about him, They have oome
from all quarters of the globe to their only
savior. Their groans as they linger in the
great scientist's laboratory bespeak their
sufferings. Pasteur enters. He 'ideas five
of the many victims. '1 will ;save you.
The others sent go,' he says, and turns his
back upon all the others.
"This is 801/10 persons' idea of a merciful
God. But I do not believe that God im-
mortal could have sent is single soul forth
into this world with the intention that; it
• should perish. If I could find grounde for
ouch a belief In my Bible I would renounce
my mission, go beck to my natiee State,
Weeks hand e with my old Hardehell Baptist
brethren and say, "Yes; it's no nes trying."
"But, on the contrary, I hear bilis book
• proclaim, 'Come unto Me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you
• rest.' I hear the word proclaim, 'For God
so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son,' I hear, `Knock and it shall
be opened unto you' And would aught but
a demon mock the world by asking ib to
knock at a door which was looked and the
key buried in the nethermost space ? No, my
friends, the door will open to all who knock.
"And if the good is held out to all who
will, an is the evil to all who will note
Man, and man alone, is responsible for his
refusal or accepcanoe of salvation, nor can
he esoape the responsibility on any plea.
"The agnostic pleads, I do nob know.If
he does not know that is his own fault. The
knowledge is within his reach. The man
who wantelight oan have it. If there is one
- thing more clearly set forth than all others
ib le that every man is responsible to God
for his own life and character.

"Theeehree great forces of1 life are in-
• nate peswer, or will, circumstances- or
environment, and the supernatural. Cat
we escape individual responsibility on the
plea of circumstances ? I think nob.
" It is often said that man is the creature
of circumstances. This is, in a measure, true,
but only secondarily: Man is also master

"And here comes in the will power. Men
say they can't when they can. • When a man
has chosen toleliminate the word 'impossible'
froan his vocabulary then he has commenced
to work miraoles. William Lloyd Garrison
was °premed and threatened when he first
raised hie voice against slavery in 13oston,

and he was heard. He was heard among

and held ib at bay for three years. How
different is this from the man who

shot. At the last moment a reprieve arrived
and he was fired at with blank certridges,
bub be fell over dead. He had lost his will

of choosing between good and bad, the

"'But why did God make evil ?" Evil is
the dark side of good, like the shadow made

Some twenty feet long, with his bead jusb
visible above the water. A well -directed

carried by the tide down toward the bunga

Running to the vat -house, Abbott geized

ing water while we were ell anxiously
watching when suddenly within two feet of
che swimmer the alligator plunged straight
up out of the water anout foremoat, as
alligators generally do when hit in the head.
Without the least hesitation Abbott flung
both arms right around the snout, and a
regular rough-and.turnble ensued.
• Presently the brute's whole body appeared.
Abbott calmly mounted him evidently try.
Ing the while to disengage the slip knot,
which had now got tight round his own arm,
end to shove it over tne brute's head. Then
the alligator started .swimming and we
followed down the bank, when, Juat: as we
were opposite the bungalow, he pulled dead
up, brought hia tall oub of the water, and
with a fearful side sweep capsized Abbott,
snapping at him as he fell. Then came
another fight such as I never wish again to
see; the pair eventually disappearing beneath
the water. We hauled away at the rope,
thinking it was kill attached to Abbott,
when unexpectedly we saw him come up a
few yards from the bank evidently ,almost
senseless. A Rsjpoot peon jumped in
and dragged his master up the elope. • He
was bleeding awfully, and was a gruesome
sight—shirt in ribbons

both hands badly maimed, and the right
foot completely crushed, He dame to at
once, and only said. "The rope' a safe over
Ms nose ;" and so it was,'sure enough : for
the natives to whom 1 had thrown the rope
were now busily engaged in hauling the
defunct saurian on shore.
I never saw a man in such a mem; and to
•add to the horror, down to the edge of the
river, just as we had dragged up her half kill-
ed husband, rushed his young wife, wringing
her hands, and naturally half out of her
wits with terror. While she was standing
over him and the servants were carrying
him to the house, he started singing, "Home
they brought her warrior dead." A nice
time of it we he had out in a jungle, with no
appliances to tie the severed arteries, and
with a patient who would insist in trying to
get out of bed to nee how the skinning of the
alligator was getting on. We tried to hire
kahars, but the whole omustry was under
water, and they refused to budge from
home; so we put him into a shampony and
took him into the Doctor at Mosafferpore,
taking from 10 on Tuesday till 7 the next
morning to do the twenty miles.
En21and's Drink for Thirty Years.
An important document has just been is
sued, showing the consumption from 1856 to
1888 of tea, coffee, oocoa, and chicory, of
alcoholic beverages, and of rebut)°, cora
pared with the increase of population.
The non-alcoholic drinks—namely, tea,
coffee, cocoa, and ohicory—have taken a tre
rnendous leap upward, continually advano-
ing, with only some four fluctuations of no
great moment. In 1856 the consumption
was a little more than 100,000,000 pounds;
in 1888 it rose to about 247,000,000 pounds.
The amount consumed per head of papule
bum had alrnost doubled meanwhile, In
1856 ib was 3,64 pounds; in 1888 It was 658
pounds, The only considerable decline was
in 1861 and 1862, co-inoident with a de-
cline in the ooneutnption of nine and spirits,
This return does not include mine, al water's,
the consumption of vvhioh is known to be
very large.
Turning to British and foreign spirits and
wine, we observe that in 1856 the oonsump
tion was 1.26 gallons per head; 10 1876 it
rose to 1.83 gallons; but in 1888 it had
fallen to 1,29 gallons, or practically to the
same level of thirty-two years ago; but dur-
ing the last twenty years a gradual and
steady diminution is observed. The liquor
which has fluctuated the least is the nation
al beverage, beer. In 1856 it was 22 6 gal.
lone, in 1888 it stands at 26 8 gallons, and
with no material ascent or descent during
the interval. The population was set down
as 27,000,000 in 1856, and, moving regularly,
expanded by an unbroken series of aecents
to 38,000,000, at which ib stood in 1888.
There has been an inorease during the same
period in the amounb of beer consumed. The
17,000,000 barrels which quenched the
national thirst in 1856 rose finally to about
27,500,000 in 1888, reaching the maximum
of over 30,000,000 in 1874, and thence de-
scending in 1877 to something very near the
figures at which they finally stand, appear
anon being In favor of a steady inorease.
The main facts developed by the diagrams
re ties: That the consumption of spirits is
beadily decreasing, but that with respect to
oar, its position is as firm as ever it was, and
e may fairly, anticipate en increase rather
hen a diminution in its use.—fLiceneed

Widespread famine is found over a great
part of the country. •Usurers, the bane ot
peasant proprietors in all countries, are in
possession of the eituation. The Toulaks
and Jew "mir eaters.' supply money on
mortgage, then foreclose, and, when the land
Is in their own possession, get the work
done for nothing as interest.
These "bondage laborers," as they are
called, are, in fact, slaves and are nearly
starved, while the small plots are often re.
united into considerable estates, and their
new °mien consider they have only rights
and 00 es.
Meantime, as forced labor is at an end and!
free labor is of the worst possible kind, the
old hued owners can get nothing done. They
have tried to employ machines, bought by
borrowing from the banks, and are now un-
able to repay the money.

• .An Expensive Hanging..
A man named Neel has been ontenoed to
death for murder at St Pierre,
Miquelon, a
small French possession off Newfoundland,
and President Carnot having refused to
interfere he is awaiting his execution:
Such a crime having been unheard of in the
colony no provision had been made for capi-
tal punishment. After much delay a gnil.
lotine was itnprovised out of an are and a
window sash, no other instrument being
legal, but when this was done, nobody oould
be found to volunteer as executioner. At
the Governor's request the Franoh Minister
of Justice has sent the Algiers executioner
to perform the gruesome businees. His trip
actress the Mediterranean France and the
Atlantic, and his incidental expenses are to
be paid by the colony, which has a popula-
tion of not quite 6.000 people. it is obi -
mated that the total cost of the execution
will be close upon a thousand dollare, or
nearly seventeen cents per head of the
population. A pretty expensive hanging
that looks very muoh like the mountain
coming to Mehemet. instead of vice versa
.A cheaper and quite as satisfactory a method
of carrying out the law would have been to
have sent the murderer to France.
