A Declaration - was signed in London on the 2lst of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Govern- ments, for amending Article I. of the Extradition Treaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Article will henceforth read as follows:— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisition made in their name by their respective Diplomatic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or convicted as principals or accessories of the crimes hereinafter specified, com- mitted within the territories of the requiring party shall be found within the territories of the other party."

" JUST AS I AM, O LAMB OF GOD, I COME." Full sweetly on the evening air Rang out the well- known strains, " There is a fountain filled wi ll blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, XiOseall their guilty stains." k> Thus sarg a little company, Whose hearts, by grace renewed, Had gathered in an upper room To tell their gratitude To Him, by whose atoning love Their sins had been subdued. A weary man who passed that way, Bowed down with weight of sin, Who long had asked how such as he Relief and rest might win, Heard the glad sound, so sweet, so c'. ear Amid the city's din. A wanderer on that city's streets, And bound— he knew not where, He turned aside to seek the place, Entered, and climbed the stair, Intently list'ning, as he rose, To words to him so rare. " ' The djing thief rejoiced to see That fountain iu his day, And there may I'— O what is thi?, A thief, a thief, they say ; ' And there m > y I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away.' " As thus he speaks, the room he findf, And, ere in prayer they bow, He crie9: ' Oh, friends, for me so 1 jst Plead you for mc- rcy now." They bid him pray ; '' Alas," he says, " To pray I know not how." But, taught by loving lips the way, He learns to pray at l ist, And on the Saviour of the lost His weight of guiit to cast; As from his contiite heart goes up The prayer of ages past— " O God, be merciful to me, A sinner, Lord, am I; In my despair and helplessness, To thee, O God, I cry. Lost, helpless, ruined, hear my prayer, Lord, save me, or I dio " The God who heard the' publican, Heard this heart's honest prayer, And he who cam", a child of wjath, In sorrow and despair. Went forth a free and happy man, And God's own child and heir. TADDY'S HIGH- CLASS TOBACCOS. ALL SMOKERS SHOULD TRY TADDY'S UNRIVALLED MYRTLE GROVE. Delicious, Cool Smoking.
