FOREIGN MISSIONS Madagascar,—A. letter from the Rev. William Ellis gives an account of an inter view which he had with the Queen. He represented to Her Majesty the state and prospects of missionary work, the interest taken in it by 'Christians in England, the projected erection of the memorial churches, the expected arrival of four additional missionaries. The Queen said she was glad they were wining ; there was no change in regard to the teaching and worship of the Christians, and when the missionaries ar rived, they-would receive the same protec tion 'of their `persons and property, and the same liberty to prosecute their work, as was now enjoyed. A later communication from the same gentleman tends to confirm the hopes en tertained of the stability r ef the present government, and the continuance of perfect religious freedom, throughout the country. The arrival of representatives from distant provinces to take the oath of allegiance, had made the missionaries acquainted with the existence 'of Christians among remote and independent tribes ' in which it. was not previously known there was a single Christian. Central Africa.—Tt is ascertained that many millions of the black race, in Africa, have for Centuries had that kind of civili zation which is produced by Mohammedan ism, and are accessible to us by means of books in the Arabic language. Along the Southern boundary of the great desert. of Sahara, is.- a .line of six or-seven old and independent negro kingdoms, and other . States inhabited by ,people who had, for many generations, schools of. different grades, many of tbem -free to the poor, where the`Koran andsome of its commen taries are the prima r y study, and some times iteCompanied with books in the native language. Learned men and women, it is Bidd y are numerous and held in high re• spout; especially those who have traveled to Mecca, Jerusalem, and other sacred or distant places. Many libraries exist, con taining interesting manuscript books of different ages and classes. The above extract seems too strange be true. Yet, there is much in favor of its reception. It is the common testimony of travelers, that the negroes as they are farther from the coast, are more educated and lesi degraded. Even among the slaves brought to this country, many educated vegrocs have now and then been found. A century ago, a young African prince, of superior education and character, a slave in Maryland, was freed, taken to England, and assisted Sir Hans Sloane in translating Arabic. •And Bayard Taylor tells of his meeting in Palestine a negro from Central Africa, who was wejl informed, well edu cated, and might be called a learned trav eler, though a disciple of Mehemet. It is stated that manuscripts from some of these central tribes have been carried to Eng land, and are now there preserved. Verily such facts cannot but give weight to the above eitract, and urge the Church to spend - its taeors more on the inner tribes of those nations that have not been- de . graded by association with the slave catch community, that still rests and clings like filthy scum to, the white shores of the great continent of the future. tasiern iltlCL—Captain Speke urges the establishment of a mission among , the tribes he has lately visited. The following is the principal portion of his letter: "I heartily trust that a mission will be 'set on foot, without delaY, to the negoes of East ern Afriea. The'three kingdoras,Kangue, Uganda and Unyoro,, are ; in my opinion, the Key to Africa, and the centre from which the light ought to radiate. A mis sion thither, in combination with the Gov ernment otitosta , baying authcnity, to main tain the lights of the kings of thbse coun tries against the violence and fiendish op pression of the White Nile traders, would prove ef the greatest benefit, both to our selves and the Africans. The great fault which has hitherto existed and dispirited missionary enterprise, is that of selecting places where no strong native governments exist, and where the land is poor, ill con sequence of its being subject to periodinal droughts and famines. In the three coun tries I have mentioned, neither of these two evils at present exist; but if they are not attended to at once, there is no knowing what will happen, as the White Nile tra ders push farther South. In short, I am inclined to believe that the traders them selves will bring dgwn those semi-Christian governments, a l ;d ride over those splendid lands, as the Moors of old made their way into Spain: hitherto the traders have con fined themselves to the poor lands without the fertile %One but now they are entering into this, and the result will be conquest— accompanied, of course, by the firm estab lishment of that more stubborn foe of Christianity than Judaism itself—Moham medanism. Too much importance cannot be attached to this portion of the Conti. nent. You are aware that I maintain that the slave trade will never be put down by vessel hunting at sea alone. We are fruit lessly spending millions in that way at present, without any good effect, and we shall continue to do so, until the Govern ment (English) is enabled to see, through public opinion, that the cheaper and surer way of gaining their point is to assist in the development of the Interior African." Illittoliesia.—Mr. Shirgis writes from Ascension Island. He gives, on the whole an encouraging view of the Micronesian Mission. The activity of the native Chris tians is particularly gratifying. One, na tive, from the Kiti Church, has been sent as a missionary to the Island of MeAskil. But the natives there are so barbarous, that it was not deemed best to leave him among them. It is, however, encouraging to see a station which two years ago was on the point of being abandoned, now sending forth a foreign missionary to work` among their heathen brethren. Amish—The Rev. Mr. McFarland, of the Church of Scotland Mission at Madras, re cently baptized at his mission station at Rundrapootoor, forty-one Christian con verts, the whole number there being now between sixty and seventy. The Rev. Mr. Burns, of the English mission at Amoy in China, recently visited the Capital of the Chinese Empire, and was successful in his .endeavor to obtain exemption for the native Christians un der his care from paying the usual tax for the support of idolatry and the worship of ancestors. The Rev. Mr. Ladd, of the American Board's mission in Smyrna, writes that six persons were admitted to the membership of the mission church there at the commu nion on the first Sabbath in January. Rev. H. H. Jessup, of the mission in Syria, says in a letter dated December 18: " We have just bad a fast day in Beirut, and a blessing has come upon us in the reconciliation of brethren, increased love and unity of spirit, earnestness in prayer, and zeal for the good of souls. Six per sons are to be admitted to the church on the first Sabbath in January." Nor the Preebyterian Benner. Kaskaskia Presbytery. The Presbytery of Kaskaskia met at the Pleasant Ridge church, April 7th, and was opened by Rev. B. H. Charles, with a ser mon from Ezekiel mild 9. Rev. H. M. Corbett was chosen Modera tor, and Rev. W. H. Templeton, Temporary The attendance was vary small, only five out of sixteen ministers-being present. The usual Presbyterial business was dis posed of promptly and harmoniously. The Narrative of the State of Religion shows a good state of things in some of our churches, and a low state of piety in others. The following obituary of Rev. W. L. Mitchell was ordered to be put on record and published; WHEREAS, God, in his inscrutable but all-wise Providence, has taken to himself our fellow-laborer. and beloved brother in th'e Lord, Rev. W. L. Mitchell ; Resolved that we place on our minutes the following obituary and expression of our feelings : William Luther Mitchell was born in .Maury County Tenn, JUly 11th, 1828; was converted at the age of twelve years, under the preaching of Rev. Daniel Baker, D.D.; graduated with honor at Jefferson liege, Aug., 1854; and at Princeton Seminary, May, 1857; was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Lafayette Presbytery, Mo., Sept. 1857 ; supplies the Ist Presbyterian church, Burlington, lowa, a year and a half ; was ordained and, installed pastor of the Presbyterian church, Hillsboro', 111., by the Presbytery of Hillsboro', December, 1859. After a short but successful minis try, he finished his labors and entered into his rest, Feb. 23d, 1864. 1. While we deeply mourn the loss of 'one whose generous feelings, upright con duct, pure character, firm conviction of duty and earnest utterance of truth, en deared him to all who knew him as a citi zen, a friend, a Christian, and a minister of the Gospel ; we recognise in this event the hand of Him who chastens us only for our profit, and we would meekly say, " Let him do as seemeth good in his sight." 2. We greatly rejoice in the clear testi mony given for Christ by Brother Mitch ell, in life and, in death. Christ was the pattern of his life, the rule of his actions, the foundation or his hopes, and the great theme of bis preaching. His ruling pas sion was strong in death. When he seemed to be speechless, seraphic views of the riches, grace and glory of Christ loosened his tongue and opened his mouth to speak th zags almost unutterable. 3 We tender our Christian sympathies to the church of Hillsboro', whose faithful pastor has been taken away "in the midst of his days" and of his usefulness. May the great Head of the Church sanctify this chastening of his hand unto the increase of their zeal, faith, hope and love in. that Gospel of Christ, which their departed pas tor so earnestly commended to them, living and dying. 4. We commend the widow and two little ones of our deceased brother, to our Cove nant-keeping God, with the assurance that " He who hears the young ravens when they cry" and "carries the lambs in his bosom,' will provide for them. Though he has taken from them a most tender, loving and beloved husband and-father, yet he himself will be unto them better than the best earthly husband or father. 5. We are all solemnly admonished that our Lord may call for us at an hour when we think not; and that as "wise and faith ful servants," we ought " always to be ready." Presbytery adjourned to meet in Tren ton, Saturday before the second Wedne sday of October, at 11 o'clock A. M. ALMED N. DENNY, Stated Cl'k. pelected.) Pray for the Soldier. BY REV. R.

The Tree of Liberty. tresillt ge6ing. Our SunbeEtm The warm gold• of the Spring sunshine stole softly in, and rested on the open Bible, on 'Katie's lap, and on the folded bands of grandma ,beside her, as the soft, childish. voice tangled itself slowly with these words: Then shall the King , say unto them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my Fa ther, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat : was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me in : naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye visited me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then the righteous shall answer hi'm, say ing, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered and fed thee? or thirsty and gave thee drink ? And the King shall, answer and say unto them, Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it .uato_ me." Katie raised her face from the book, and an earnest, intent , look ..came into.ber , eyes as she said, "Oh, grandma,-how l ---how beautiful that will be.' • " Yes," answered grandma, musingly, "very beautiful." " And, grandma, I wish I could do good, so I might hear these words." " And can't you ?" asked grandma. " Why, no, grandma, I can't because I'm a little girl. •- See, it, says, ' Naked, and clothed me I was sick, and ye visited me : was in prison, and ye came unto me? I couldn't do those things, grandma." " No, but I will tell you what I think. If you do all the small kind acts in your power for those around you; if you are kind, and obedient, and sunny, for Jesus'-- sake, I think you may win the great reward of hearing these words said to you. If you watch, Katie, I am sure you will see many little places where you can wedge in a sunbeam, where you can make others hap pier, and even these little things you can do for Jesus ; so that, . 4 Inasmuch as you do it unto one of the least of these - , you will do it unto him." Katie dreW a long breath ; the words sank into her hearty she resolved to scatter sunheatnt3 for Jesus; and - the sunshine, PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.-WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1864. creeping up, laid a bar of gbld in blessing on her soft hair. Only a few steps from Katie's pretty home stood a little red house'. 'The dang,hz ter of the widow who lived there had been very sick, but now was slowly recovering. To day the mother had been obliged to leave her alone, and go out to earn money for her scanty support, The little girl thus left alone was feeling sad and weak this bright morning. Just across the clo ver.field, little happy Katie was watching the sunshine fill the gold, white and purple cups of the crocuses in the garden. Very merry she felt to-day, for " dear aunt Fan ny " was coming this afternoon. By-and by she caught a glimpse of Jennie Dean's pale face pressed against the window of the, little house. She looked so sad and un happy that Katie said to herself, "I won der if I could not be a sunbeam to her? I'm so happy to-day, I should like to make her so too. Now, I should like to take one of you beds of crocuses right up, sunshine and all, and carry you to her." And Ka tie laughed f then added suddenly," But oh! I know l" Mrs. Merrill was -rolling out pastry Tin the kitchen, when Katie dashed in. > "Oh, mother I" she cried, ".mayn't I make some things like yours only little, you. know— .please mother-4r a sunbeam: to Jennie Dean ?" " For what,.Katie ?" asked,Mrs. Merrill, smiling. Then Katie had to explain, and the kind mother could not deny the request, but gave the desired " Yes," with a fond . - kiss. So all the morning Katie worked ously beside her mother, with flushed cheeks and eager eyes, and a very, happy heart. She felt repaid when she nrranged the - results of her work' temptingly. on a large plate, and left' - them all ready in the cool pantry-= , a little cranberry pie'-a`miaia turo loaf of eake,t. dozen 'of `thee ti miost cutest jumbles," said Katie, and some tiny tarts. , But she•felt happier yet' to witness Jennie's . delight,=and see the smiles come back to her face again, at the dainty repast which was substituted for the small and frugal lunch which was all her mother could leave her. All that day the sunshine staid in Jennie's heart, and made her glad, because of this little kind act. This is one of the pleasant deeds Katie still tries to do for others; the little sunny, acts, which make her known at home as ",our sun beam." Would not my, little readerlike to merit, this loving title, to he "a sunbeam in the house?" Will you not try to do all Aie kind deeds in Your power? What better work for you, dear "little pilgrims, from this world to another," than to make sunny the paths of 'others ?. And what sweeter reward can there be than those..words— " Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one' of the least of these, ye have &Me 'it unto me ?"—Little The Young Tobacco-Chewer Cared On board a ship, , one day, we were stow ing away the hammocks when one of the boys came with his :=hammock , on his shoulder, and, as he passed, the first lieu tenant perceived that he had a. quid of to bacco in his mouth. • " What have you got there?".asked the first lieutenant. " A gum-boil? Your cheek is much swollge_ " No, sir,", replied the 'boy; " there's nothing at all the matter." , "0, there must be i Perhaps it is 4.bad tooth. Open your mouth, and let_rue,seel!

"Poor fellow how you must 'Suffer Your mouth wants overhauling,land yoni teeth cleaning. I wish," continued he, " we, had a dentist on board. But, as ,we have not,. operate .as well as I. cane Send the armorer up here with,the tongs." When the armorer made his appearance with his big tongs, the boy was compelled to open his mouth, while the tobacco was extracted with this rough instrument., "There, now 1" said the lieutenant, " I'm sure that you _must feel better al ready. You can never have grip appetite with such stuff in your mouth. Nowi'caii tain of the after-guard, bring a piece of old. canvas and some sand, and clean his teeth nicely." The captain of the after-guard came for ward, and grinning from ear to ear, put the unwilling boy's head betweenhis knees, and scrubbed his teeth well with sand and canvas for two or three minutes. . " There, that will do," said the lieuten ant. g 4 Now, my little fellow,. take some water and rinse out your mouth, and you will enjoy your breakfast. It was impossi ble for you to have eaten anything with your mouth in such a filthy state.,_ When you ate troubled in the same way again, have no• scruples about coming to me, and I will be your dentist." It is needless, to say that the affair occa sioned a good deal of merriment at the boy's expense. He was, however, aompiete ly cured of the habit of - tobacco-chewing, by the occurrence, and doubtless has no disposition now to complain of the appa rentlyharsh discipline which accomplished so desirable a result. If some such mea sure were adopted with the many young and unfledged chewers and smokers that,are to be met with among us, they themselves would be largely benefited, and society re lieved of a great evil.—Trask's Traces. Of late ybars, the complaint has been' common that New-England boys- are de selling the homestea.ds. They get away from home and farm restraint as soon as possible, and .leave their birth-place to strangers. Boys, like treem,"often do'better for transplanting, but it generally makes the old nursery look desolate. The popu lation of many farming towns . decreases with every decade, and not a few once pros perous and flourishing villages have thus gone into decline and decay; to the great discomfiture of real estate owners. Is there no remedy for these things ? One remedy may ♦bp found in our heading, Encourage de` boys. Give them - something that they can call their own -- Aid them, if necessary, in their projects.

This treat ing young people harshly, hedging -up every path of ambition, making them feel. that they are without honor in their own town, and telling them to shirk for them selves, as their fathers did before them, is, bad policy, and sooner or later, reacts:upon those who practice it.
