ung regarded the fiery mate from the corners of their eyes. Five days from Liverpool there suddenly appeared on deck three stowaways,--two Irish boys of about fousmile that he had been least hurt.

I shipped for their variety of produce, and that no city, not even Liverpool, could exhibit such mercantile enterprise, or such a smarde me weep on leaving St. Asaph, Ffynnon Beuno, Brynford, Liverpool, and even the Windermere, made me cling to my attic room n finding that the boy was English, and just arrived from Liverpool, I assented to her arrangement.

o himself, as he was bound to his own wants all his life, and must provide for them under every circumstance; if he neglected to provide for his own needs, he would always be unable to do anything towards the need of others. Then, as his custom was, he would proceed to apply these remarks to my case. I was to retain in my mind the possibility of being again homeless, and friendless, and adrift in the world, the world keeping itself to itself, and barring the door against me, as it did at Liverpool, New Orleans, and St. Louis, The poor man is hated, even by his own neighbour; but the rich man has many friends, etc., etc. An original method of instruction which he practised with me was to present me different circumstances, and ask me what I would do. These were generally difficult cases, wherein honesty, honour, and right-doing, were involved. No sooner had I answered, than he would press me with another view of it, wherein it appeared that his view was just as fair as the one I

hing-space, he threw himself into the work of persuading, preaching, imploring, the ruling powers in English Commerce and in public affairs to seize this grand opportunity. He spoke in all the commercial centres, especially in Manchester and Liverpool, setting forth the immense advantages to trade of such an enterprise. He had audience with such public men as would listen, or seem to listen. But the Government and the people of England turned a deaf ear. Stanley was, by some, called Quicivilised powers. England's contribution was mainly indirect. She had previously made a treaty with Portugal, allowing her a strip of African coast, as the result of which she could now have excluded everyone else from the Congo. Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, through their Chambers of Commerce, had remonstrated in vain. The United States, meanwhile, had been the first to recognise the new State of the Congo.

e with me. I might stand it for a week, perhaps a month; but the utter waste of life would begin to present itself, until, at last, my mind would conceive an accusing phantom, composed of lost days and weeks, with their hosts of lost opportunities ever reproaching me for my devotion to the inane and profitless. Ah, no, I must be doing something; no matter what it appears to others, if to me it satisfies the craving for doing or learning, that is enough. On April 15, 1891, we sailed for Liverpool. Stanley ends the Journal of our American tour with the words:-- The greatest part of America is unequalled for its adaptability for the service of man, and her people are doing the utmost they can to utilize its productiveness. They have every right to be grateful for their land, and I think they are both grateful and proud of it. The American farmer, of whom but little mention is made, is one of the finest natures in existence. Milton's description of Adam, the great Sire of all
