ENDEAVOUR.

A moaning cry as the world rolls by, Through gloom of cloud and glory of sky,

Kings in my ears for ever;

And I know not what it profits a man To plough and sow, to study and plan,

And reap the harvest never. Abide in truth, abide," Bpake a low voice at my side, Abide thou and endeavour." And even though, after care and toil, Ishould see my hopen from a kindly soil,

Though late yet blossoming ever, Porchatte the prize were not worth the pain, Perchance the fretting and wasting of brain

Wine its true guerdon never.

Abide in love, abide," The tender voice replied,

Abide thou and endeavour." "Strive, endeavour; it profits more To fight and fall than on Time's dull shore

To sit an idler over;

For to him who bares his arm to the strife, Firm at his post in the battle of life,

The victory faileth never. Therefore in faith abide,” The earnest voice still cried, "Abide thou and endeavour,"

THE CONSCIENCE AND FUTURE JUDGMENT.

I sat along with my conscience. In a place where Time had ceased, And we talked of my former living In the land where the years increased. And I felt I should have to answer The question it put to me,

And to face the answer and question Throughout an eternity.

The ghosts of forgotten actions Came floating before my sight, And things that I thought were dead things Were alive with a terrible might. And the vision of all my part life

Was an awful thing to tace,

Alone with my conscience silting

In that solemnly silent place..

And I thought of a far-away warning, Of a sorrow that was to be mine, In a land that then was the future, But now is the present time.

And I thought of my former tremblings, Of the judgment day to be, "But sitting slone with my conscience Beemed judgment enough for me. And I wondered if there was a futurs To this land beyond the grave; But no one gave me an answer,

And no one came to save.

Then I felt that the future was present, And the present would never go by, For it was bat the thought of my past life Grown into eternity,

Then I woke from my timely dreaming, And the vision penned away,

And I know the far-away warning

Was a warning of yesterday.

And I pray that I may not forget it.

In this land before the grave,

That I may not cry in the future,

And no one cemu to says.

And so I have learnt a lesson

Which I ought to have known before, And which, though I learnt it dreaming

I hope to forget no more.

So I sit alone with my conscience

In the place where the years increase,

And I try to remember the future

In the land where time will cease.

And I know of the future judgment, Flow dreadful soefer it be,

That to sit alone with my conscience Will be judgment anough for me. -Spectator.

Any publication fulfilling the conditions hereafter unmod can pass an a newspaper.

The conditions are as follows:-- 1st. The publication must consist wholly or in great part of political or other news or of articles relating thereto, or to other ourrent topics, with or without advertise ments.

2nd. It must be published in numbers at intervals of not more than 31 days, and must be printed on a sheet or sheets un-

stitched.

3rd. The foll title and date of publication must be printed at the top of the first page, and the whole or part of the title and the date of publication at the top of every subsequent page; and thie regulation applies to Tables of Contents and Indices,

4th. A supplement must consist wholly or in great part of matter like that of a newspaper, or of advertisements, printed on a aliest or sheets, or a piece or pieces of paper, unstitched; or wholly or in part of engravings, prints, or lithographs illustra tive of articles in the newspaper. The supplement must in every case be published with the newspaper, and must have the title and date of publication of the pewspaper printed at the top of every page; or, if it consists of engravings, prints, or lithographs, at the top of every sheet or side.

A packet containing two or more newe- papers is not chargeable with a higher rate of postage than would be chargeable on a book packet of the same weight.

A newspaper posted unpaid, or a packet of newspapers posted either unpaid or insuficiently paid, is treated as an unpaid or insufficiently paid book packet of the same weight.

The postage must be prepaid either by an adhesive stamp, or by the use of a stamped wrapper.

AS BEGARES PATTERNS.

They must not be of intriniale value. This rale excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and indeed whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mere use as a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can fairly barcon sidered an having on this ground an intrm-

Patterna or samples; when practicable, must be sent in covers open at the ends, and in such a manner is to be easy of examination. But samples of seeds, drugs, and such like articles, which cannot be sent in-covers-of-this kind, but such articles only, may be posted enclosest in boxes, or bags of linen, of other material, fastened in such a manner that they may be readily opened; or, in the case of seeds, &o., for the United States of America, Holland, and its possessions, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Portugal and its pussessions, and Switzerland, in bags entirely closed, pra- vided such closed baga are transparent, wo as to enable the Officers of the Post Office readily to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents,

There must be no writing or printing upon or in any packet except the address of the person for whom it is intended, the address of the sender, a trade mark or number, and the price of the articles

Samples of intrinsic value must not be sont to any foreign country except United States; and in the case of France samples of eider down, raw or thread silk, woollen or goats hair thread, vanilla, saffron, carmine, or lainglass, are considered to fall under this rule if they weigh more than three ounces; and up to this weight raw and spun silk, as well as coloured and twisted silk, may be sont to Germany.

times that it is exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mail bag ; and that, whenever the bag has it the course of ita transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.

No information can be given respecting letters which pass through a Post Office except to the persons to whom they are addressed; and to no other way is official information of a private character allowed to be made public. A Postmaster may: however, give an address it he has no reason to believe that the person whose į address it is would disapprove of his doing so.

Postmasters are not allowed to return any latter or other packet to the writer or sender, or to any one else, or to delay forwarding it to its destination according to the address, even though a request to dich effect be written thereon.

Postmasters are not bound to weigh any letters or other packets for the public, but they may do so if their duty be not thereby impeded.

The practice of sealing letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climates, with wax (except such as is specially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the letters so sealed but to the other letters in the mail, from the melting of the wax and adhesion of the letters to each other. The public are therefore recommended, in all such cases, to do either wafers or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the coun- tries referred to, to do the same.

THE CHINA REVIEW.

THE widely-expressed regret at the die- continuance of Notes & Queries on China and Japan, has induced the publish ers of this journal to issue a publication similar in object and style, bit slightly modified in certain details.

THE CHINE REVIEW, or Ntes and Queries on the Far East, is insured at in- tervals of two months, each number con- taining about 60 octavo pages, occasionally illustrated with lithographs, photographe,. woodouts, dro., should the papers published domand, and the circulation justify, such

extra mattor.

The subscription is fixed at $6.50 postage paid, per annum, payable by non-residents in Hongkong half-yearly in advance.

The publication includes papers original and selected upon the Arts and Sciences Ethnology, Folklore, Geography, History, Literature, Mythology, Manners and Cus- toms, Natural History, Religion, &c., &c., of China, Japan, Mongolia, Tibet, the Eastern Archipolego and the "Far East' generally: A more detailed list of subjects upon which contributions are especially invited is incorporated with each number. Original contributions in Chinese, Latin, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Por Endeavours tuguese, are admissible. are made to present a resumé in each number of the contents of the most recent works bearing on Chinese matters. Great attention is also paid to the Review department.

Notes and Replies are classified togo ther as "Notes" (head references being given, when furnished, to previous Notes or Queries), as are also those queries which, though asking for information, furnish new or unpubilehed details concerning the mat- ter in hand. It is desirable to make the Queries proper as brief and as much to the point as possible.

To facilitate finding the position of any vessel in the Harbour, the Anchorage is divided into eight Sections, commencing at Green Island, Vessels near the Hongkong shore are marked h., near the Kowloong shore k, and those in the body of the Shipping or midway between each shore are marked c., In conjunction with the figuros denoting the sections.
