SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded • by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests, that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un- willing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies.

THE LAST JOURNEY. • When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return."— Job xvi. 22. A coming journey lies before me. I have to pass from time to eternity ; from this world to the next. A few years— it may be a few days— will close my stay on earth. It is a journey I must go. There is no choice. Willing or unwilling, when the summons for me comes, I shall have to set off. It is an unknown journey. I have no knowledge of the road, the mode of travelling on it, the dangers or the discomforts which may await me ; and there is no one who can clearly explain them to me. Those of my rieuds who have gone that way, have never come back to tell their experience. It i3 a lonely journey. The most loved of my present companions cannot go with me. They may think of me, feel for me, pray for me to the last, but they cannot be with me. We must part; they to re- main behind, I to go forward. It ia a most important journey. For I then enter upon my everlasting state. It will carry me either to the mansions of happiness or to the abodes of misery. The narrow boundary between the present and the future state once crossed, there can be no change : " He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still." It is the last journey. 1 shall go the way whence I shall not return. My pilgrimage will be for ever ended. No more parting, no more change, no more toil, no more fatigue. It will be my last journey. If I arn a Christian, how welcome is this fact! I shall have done for ever with sin and sorrow. Eternal happiness will be mine, and perfect holiness. This journey leads me to my home, to my Father's house, to my everlasting rest. Death is a solemn journey, but it is a safe one to Christ's people ; for He will not only receive and wel- come them at its close, but He will l> e with them in it. With Him it will not be lonely. He is a Guide, too, who well knows the way, for He has trodden it Him- self, and the marks of His footsteps may be seen there still. He went for the purpose of smoothing its difficulties, clearing away its dangers, and dispersing its terrors; and He fulfilled His purpose. " that through death He might destroy hirn that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime sub- ject to liondage."
