It will greatly facilitate the transaction of business, if in all telegrams to Graat Scotland Yard regarding criminal matters, the name md official designation of the sender are telegraphed. 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. Office No. 26506, who escaped from H.

THE Love still follows, as we tramp on, A sorrowful fall in its pleading tone: " With mercies great will I gather thee ; I have called thee by name— return to Me. Thou wilt tire in the dreary ways of sin ; I left My Home, to bring thee in. In its golden street Stand no weary feet; Its rest is glorious, its songs are swce*." And we shout back angrily, hurrying on To a terrible home, where rest is none : " We want not your city's gilded street, Nor to hear its constant song." And still God keeps on loving us ! Lovirg— all along ! And the tender Voice pursues each one : " Dear sinner, what more could thy God have done ? Thou hast made Me to serve with thy bitter strife ; Thy sin has wearied, in heaven, my life. My heaven ! Yet its light I cculd nbt see, When alone in the darkness I died for thee. Thy sin of this day In its shadow lay, Between My Face an d One turn ed away!'' And we stop, and turn for a moment's space, To fling back His love in the Saviour's Face; To give His heart yet another grief, And glory in the wrong. And Christ is always loving us ! Loving— all along ! One is bending low before the King ; And the angels listen with quivering wing : A wondering awe on each glad, grand face, At the joy of their Lord on His throne of grace. He has entered the city, and sings its hymns, While the gold of its streets thro' tears is dim : " To Him who so loved me and washed me white, That marvellous love No sin could move ; Waited, and wearied not; sought and strove; Followed, unchanging, the whole dark way, And led into full, eternal day."
