NOTICE. EXTRADITION. 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." " In no case, nor under any consideration whatever, shall the High Contracting Parties be bound to surrender their own Subjects whether by birth or naturalisation." The result of the modification in the Treaty is that either Government may deliver up its own subjects to the other Government, but can not be considered bound to do so. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

THE TRAIN JUST GONE! Have you ever noticed the look of vexation and bitter disappointment presented by a person who is just too late for a train ? Having taken his ticket, he rushes in b- eathless haste to the platform, but the signal for starting has been given ; the train has moved on ; officials intercept him and render fruitless his rash attempt to open the carriage door and jump in at the risk of his life ! There he stands, looking confused, annoyed and ashamed ! Half a minute earlier and he would have been seated in yonder swift travelling carriage. Now, alas, that is impossible— he is too late ! For all practical purposes he might as well have been twenty minutes or an hour behind time. His energy, intentions, and efforts are all in vain ; he has missed the train, and is left behind 1 Thus it often happens in railway experience; but how much more terrible and unavailing is the remorse of that one who is left behind in the journey of Life, and is just too late for Eternal Salvation ! Sickness corn ' s, and death lays hold of the unsaved one ; the fatal " stroke" is given, the sick one is face to face with Eternity, but he has made no preparation for anything beyond this life, and he passes away without hope and without God, to appear before His awful tribunal! Too late ! Too late ! Nothing can avail him now, for to him the harvest is past, the end of life has come, and he is not saved. " To- day, if ye will hear His Voice, harden not your hearts." In the commercial world there are what are called " days of grace." A bill of acceptance falls due and has to be met, but the claim is not enforced until three days more have passed, " days of grace," not in the agree- ment, but by the free favour of our customs they are allowed to the debtor that he may the more easily meet his liability. These days are God's " days of grace" to the unsaved. He has a right to call all to account, but the long- suffering God waits, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Now Ready, price One Shilling.
