—Rev. Walter M. Roger, pastor of
King street Presbyterian church, Lon-
don, last Sabbath evening prea.cned a
sermon with special reference to the
murder of Ralph Shaw, of the 24th Bat-
talion, of Chatham. His text was, Gene-
sis, iv. 9: And the Lord said unto
Cain, where is Abel, thy brother? And
he said: I know not; am I my brother's
keeper ?" The preacher said it was a
shame that young men wearing the uni-
form of the Queen should be out rioting
when they should be asleep, and it was
an outrage on civilization that the young
men should be so slain. He put the

gAIDNEY IN A DREAM.
. BY J. §:MILLIE.
We got away trom Melbourne at last,
where everybody is full of Jubilee and
Victoria, and arrived here by the Bur-
rumbeet a few days ago; We are just
in time to celebrate the second anniver-
sary of our arrival. After two years
colonial experience we have become so
well acquainted with the people and
their habits that we sometimeafancy we
"know our way about." But I must
confess that during the three , weeks
spent in Sydney after landing I was in-
toxicated with infatuation. The indes-
cribable contrast between the confine-
ment on the boat and freedom 'here was
so great that 1 was not my own master,
I was lost, I was not wholly awake.
Since then I have regained my equal:
brium however,and cease to wonder
that all seemed like the realization of a
fondly cherished dream. It requires a
pretty leeel head- amid such surround-
ings and temptations, where the high
tide of continual excitement keeps so
many in a mental whirlwind—an intel-
lectual yclone. When I look back, two
whole years,through a world of detached
incidents, vanishing scene's, and a med-
ley of ^faces—all conglomerated or fol-
lowing in quick succession I see things
indistinctly. It all seems like a dream.
I often think of the great electric light,
which has taken the place •of the old
Macquarie lighthouse on the South
Heact, and which first warned us of our
near approach to Australia. The new
Pharos which now flashes its brilliant
rays over the Pheific is one of the most
powerful electric luminaries in the
world. It stands on a cliff 76 feetlxigh,
and is 354 feet above the level of the sea.
It can be seen fully 30 miles out, wel-
coming- the anxious voyager to this
Sylvan land, and directing the mariner
to the safe gateway of Port Jackson.
The entrance is one mile wide ' and the
North Head rises abruptly 300 feet
high.
It was our misfortune, like that of
many others, to arrive here in the night,
but if we misked the exquisite and vari-
gated beauty of this singularly enchant-
ing and often eulogized harhor we got
an idea of its dusky outline. 1 We anchor-
ed off Fort Denison, tforinerly known
by the uncommon neme of "Pinchgut."
