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 oirculated in the Colonies. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

" NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND." Now, I never met with more than one perfect in- dividual in my life, and he talked for an hour and more about himself, and then got into a row and a rage because someone happened to disbelieve a little of what he was saying. Do we want any mending ? Let me see. First, I think we want to be more real. I went into a cottage one day and a labouring man was testing a sovereign. He dropped it on the brick floor to hear whether it had the ring of reality about it. Have we got the ring of reality about us ? Make- believe and snams may do for man ; realities alone will do for God. It is not where you live, it's how you live. It is not what you do, it's how you do it. It isn't what you've got on you, it's what you've got in you. And it isn't what people say about you, it's what the great God knows about you. Another thing, I think we should have more faith in little things. Many are thirsting to do something wonderful. They are discontented with their lot, dissatisfied, ill at ease. They want to do something extraordinary, but cannot or will not do the common things which lie close to them ; and little things are not so little a3 they seem. The acorn grew into the giant oak— the rivulet became part of the ever- sounding sea— the word of kind- ness broke the hard heart and won the blessing of one readv to perish. Another thing— I think we want to t. rouole our heads with our own business and leave other people's alone. If anybody wants to start a story that's likely to be painful or disagreeable, it's always " They say." Yes ; they say A- B. is in debt— the parson buys his sermons— the teetotaler drinks gin out of a teapot. Oh, busybodies ! let us keep quiet, and sweep our own doorsteps clean—" it's never too late to mend." And once more, I am sure the world want3 more sympathy, more kindness, more love. Dr. Guthrie entitled one of his works " Speak- ing to the Heart." That's what we want— the true secret of success. Forgetting self, let us speak earnestly, love deeplv, teach practically. There are so many little ways in which we may add to the jovs of thoae around us. " It's never too late to mena." " It's never too soon to begin."
