;TU: ALII: i iii. BY liBOBUI HOIX;KS. Uwa* Uw privilege of UM parson, not long ago, to address a company of young men upon the oocaiion ol the gradu- ation of a dozen of them from one of the fecit school* in America. At the re- quest of some of their fathers and mothers the words then spoken are here written out, as well a* memory permits, for the sake of any other boys who care to read them. These young men, the parson said, are rich- er than many of us, because they have more time than we have a great deal more time I hope, in the future ; acd certainty more time now. And time is on* of the most precious of all human possessions. It is not likely that you realize how rich you are. You think, perhaps, that when you get out of school, and time, a* you say, u your "own," that yon will have more leisure. But that is a great mistake. You will find a* you grow older that the yean grow shorter. And if you succeed in life, as wehope you will succeed, you wdl very ofum find yourself saying, O, that there were 4.S hours in every d iv and no night at all. The latter half of this century has been remarkable for the invention of appliance* for saving time. The railroad, the tele- graph, the telephone, the typewriter, the phonograph not to mention Ihe great ma- chines which save time in Ihe mills are valuable in proportion as they serve as saving* banks for time. And yet it some how come* about that the more time we save the leu we have. Nc generation that has lived upon the planet since the day when the morning stars sang together at the creation of the world, ha* ever known uch a famine of (pare time. I have not looked in the dictionary to see if the word "leisure" is still a part of the Knglish language. Perhaps they have marked it "obsolete." Certain it is that the fact of leisure has well nigh ceased out of modern life. We live in a perpetual harry. We must be all the time doing something. We are ashamed to be caught enjoying our- selves. We feel a* if we were stealing- stealing time. Or rather, as if we wer* spendthrift* squandering time. Yon young men have more time than you will probably ever have again. Accordingly, the word which I want to peak to you is about time. You h*ve learned, no doubt, long since that an hour i* tiO minute* long, and that a yard i* 30 inches long. It is evident, how- ever, that thece words, " an hour" and a " yard, ' are term* not of value but only of measurement. The value of a yard depends upon the material which is measured by it. It may be a yard of cotton cloth ; it may be a yard of ground along the chief street of a great city. So the value of an hour depends upon what it put into it. And that depends partly upon the place and time in which the hour i* spent, and partly upon the person who spends it. Think of thi* present hour a* the SUB measure* it out across the globe. There are 60 minute* in it everywhere, BO minute* on this beautiful hill, in the midst of these scholastic surroundings, in the heart of the trees ; 60 minute* in the hot tenement! of the great city, where men and women with un< lean hands and faces, and heart* not much better, are this moment drinking and cursing and fighting ; liO minute* in thai devastated country through which I rode the other night, where that awful river, half of seething water, half of hissing fin came tearing down the pleasant valley, drowning and burning as it caine : HO min- utes where men are becalmed on the great ihu class and a deep aense ot responsibility co"'es upon me. For I see here not imply a dozen boys, hut a dozen men. I (aid that Ihu u UM be*l yoar to uve in nf all lite ycara, and tin* the best land to live in of all the land*. And I want to nay now, that this, I believe, if the beat town to live u that can be found between the two great oceans. And a large part of the future of thii country depends up:>n this clas*. To- morrow depends upon to-day. The years of the nice coming are being determined by the way in which you young men are spend- ing the time present. It n a matter of congratulation that in this school you have been learning some- thing better than mathematics and geogra- phy ; you have been learning character. The man for the times must first of all be a man of character. It a true, after all, that the great thing that a man can do for his -: l1 K Candied opinion taffy.

Mr. Davies ha* been many years in the Chinese service, stationed at different treaty ports aud in the interior, and speaks the mandarin dia- lect with fluency. In conversation with a reporter Mr. Davies naid : " I was stationed at the various Yang-tie port* all through the riot* and disturbances which commence'! in May of last year and made the life of Kuropeans and American* in those place* scarcely worth the living. The first riot broke out at Wnhu, a Yang tse river port. Tliii was followed by riots at Chink ling and then a very serious one at Hankow. At Wuhu the crowd attacked the customs buildings, bat were driven off by the foreign and Chinese customs staff, led by young Parr, an ex officer of the British army. " Personal experiences ? Well. I was at Hanko-T when the worst riot occurred in our vicinity. A very few miles up the river from Hinkow there is a small missionary settlement. Agitation which had be*n brewing in the neighborhood for some time at lost broke out into open violence. There were five ladies in the mission build- ings, from which all the men were absent. The rioters advanced upon the unprotected premises and set fire to them and then set upon the wretched women. Two men named Argentand Green, one a missionary and the other acustoms otiicer, seeing the flames from a distance, rushed to the rescue. The mob sei'e 1 Argent, threw him down and literal- ly maiuedhis head into a pulp with a big stone. Green got away, aud, chased by the maddened mob, ran into a pond of water.
