MINING MATTERS.

Aibubnia Tbibute.—Emmett and party crashed a parcel of quartz for 6ozs gold. Bed White and Blue Tbibute.— . Green and party crushed a parcel 0f. , , picked stone for 6ozs 18dwts gold. . M Cube TBißurEg.-Johns and party crushed 24 tons from No. 7 reef for the yield of 21ozs lOdwts gold; Cronin and party are also crushing from the same reef with very poor results. Cixi of London.—Quartz from winze at low level end from No. 4 reef is now being carted to Bull's battery. Crushing to start on Tuesday next, Cube.—The company's operations are —sinking a winze on No. 6 reef from the main, or 210 feet level; the atone from thence looks well, and as the winze is down 40 feet the lode promises to carry gold to a deeper level than hitherto obtained; and rising upon No. 4or black reef; as this is now in a block of ground not formerly worked, the output is expected to turn out well. Waiotahi.—The three feet lode is being followed to the east, and some 20 feet further driving will come under the winze now going down from the upper level. This will ventilate the winze, and allow sloping to take place with advantage. The show of quartz is moderate, but in the vicinity of the winze it is much improved. Queen of the May.—The crashing at Bull's battery continues good, and a find of lcwt. of choice golden stone at the mine, in the foot-wall lode, will assist considerably the returns. Moanataiabi. — Nothing of any importance in the mine. The winze goes down, the progress, however, must be slow. The shaft sinking progresses favourably. In driving the cross-cut from the drive on No. 9 lode, to connect with the winze sunk on Heldt's or parallel reef, a small vein of quartz showing a little gold has been cut through. Twenty feet will have to be driven to make the connection.

Pum-The mine looks welL No change worthy of note. At the big battery the plates are now in capital order, and catch the gold, making a very satisfactory show of amalgam every cleaning up, besides what is obtained from the berdans. Owing to the hopper being wanted by tributers, the company sent the slone contained in one of thorn to Bull's battery yesterday, where it is being crushed, and the amalgam off the plates is conclusive that there is gold enough to pay handsomely. Waitekaubi.—By advice from tho battery yesterday, it appears that the crushing has turned out so far well, 6520zs retorted gold baing obtained from 12 days' run. This is exclusive of what remains in the stamper-boxes, which will add considerably to the proper cleaning up at the month's end.

consuming rubbish, and I deliberately rush into it and get burnt, who is to blame ? Myself. God has told us thero is a place of burning. Ho makes for us every possibility of oscaping it. If we deliberately dash in, who is responsible ?• Jesus says, 'Yewill not come unto mo that ye might have life.'

Which Road.—lf, in driving, you come to the forks of a road, and one goes to the right and the other to the left, you slop and make inquiry as to which road you 'ought to take. At this time you have come to the forks of a road. One leads to heaven, nnd the other to hell. Which will you take ? ' Choose ye this day whom you will serve." See the end. -Young man, before you mount tho chariot of sin, go and see the end'of those reckless drivers. They once had as fair a cheer as you, and.as manly a brow as you, and as stout a heart, They stepped very gradually aside. They read French novels. They looked at bad pictures- They went into contaminating associations. Out of curiosity and just to see for themselves, they entered the house of sin. They were caught ,in snares that had captured stronger men than they. Farewell now to all hope of return! Farewell to peace! Farewell to heaven!

No Escape.—For the man who neglects salvation there is no escape. Everything will plead against him. The waters will hiss from the fountains, nnd say, ' Wo told him of the living stream, where he might wash his sins away, hut he would not come.' The rocks will say, ' We told him of a shelter and defence to which he might run. . The sun in the sky will say, 'I told him of the dayspring from on high, but ho shut his eyes. . The Bible will say, 'I called him by a thousand invitations, nud warned him with a thousand alarms.' Calvary will say,' On my bloody branch I boro the fruit that might liavo fed his starving soul, but he wouldnot pluck it.' The angels will say, ' Wo flew to him on errands of mercy, and would have charmed him into life, but he beat us back iu our ministryescape be must not.' The throne of judgment will say, ' I have but two sentences —that to the friends of God and that to his rejectors-escape he must not.' All the destroyed will say, ' We neglected it no more than he; why should he go free when we are banished ?' Jesus will say, ■' I called to him for many years, hut he turned his back on my tears and blood.' Then God will speak, and, with n voice that shall ring through tho heights and depths, and lengths aud breadths of His universe, say, ■ Escape' he shall not!' May the Lord God Almighty, for Jeaus sake, avert such a catastrophe. Come to Jesus! Come now! 'He that cometh I will in no wise cast out.' But, says a man out yonder, 'I am.too bad to come. lam all astray. For thirty years I havo been going down hill. lam scalded and blistered will) sin. I have gone through the whole catalogue. 1 cannot come as I am.. I must first get things set in order.' Ah!,my friends, you will never get things set in.order until you come to the Cross. You will get worse and worse, Not the righteous: sinners Jesus'came to save.

No elaborate thinking is necessary to understand tho religion of the Bible. You have only to put two ideas together: tho one is tho saddest iu the universe, and the other tho gladdest. lam a sinner, but, Jesus died to save me. 'All we like sheep had gone astray, , but' Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost."

When God writes anything on the wall, a man-had better read it as it is. Daniel did not misinterpret or modify tho handwriting on the wall, Thtfre is written on the wall: 'liepent! accept of Christ, and be saved!' I might talk of a great many things; but that is the message, and so I declare it.

Great is this salvation. Great in its auihor,great in its humiliations, great in its sacrifices, great ia its pardon, great in its final deliverance, great in its consummations. The question bursts, crackles, and thunders upon our ears: ' How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation. . Do not sail coastwise along your old habits and old sins. .Keep clear of the shove. Go out where the water is deepest. -Be it known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man is preached uulo you forgiveness of sins.' I preach it with as much confidence to that eighty, year-old transgressor as to this maiden. Though, your sins were blo'od-red, they shall be snow-white. The more ragged the prodigal, the more compassionate tuo father. JJo you say you are too bad? The highwater mark of God's pardon is higher than all your transgressions. 'Tlie blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sins' Do you say that your heart is too hard ? Suppose it were ten times hardsr ? Do you say that your iniquity is longcontinued? Suppose it wero ten times longer ? Do you say that your crimes are black ? Suppose that they were ten times blacker ? Is there any lion that this Samson cannot- slay ? Is there any fortress that this conqueror cannot take ? Is there any sin this Redeemer cannot pardon ?

Jesus came to save you. By the tears that ran down Hia scarred cheek, by the blood that oozed from His whipped back, by the sweat of agony that stood out in beads upon His brow, by Iho dying groau which broke tho heart of the rocks and made the sun faint away in the heavens — I hep; you to accept, of the Lord Jesus Christ and besaved, 0 fling not away your immortal houl when so much has been done to ransom it. When you may be saved, why will you be lost? Somo one suggested that tliere were some persons who consoled themselves by saying: ' If I am to be lost, there will be a great many others with me, so I won't care so much. , 0, what a poor philosophy! When the Lake Shore railroad cars went off the track a year or two ago, and a hundred and fifty people wero crushed, was it any mitigation of the sorrow that therefore a hundred and fifty instead ofoue man? 0, no. If tliere is any man determined lo be lost, better be lost alone than in a crowd; their sorrowadded toyoursorrow.theirdisasteraddedtoyourdisaster.lcannotbelievo that there are any who will be such fools as to reject the only salvation offered them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Infinite Eedeemcr. 1 do not know whether my cheek turns pale at the thought, but I do know that my heart quakes as I cry out with Jsiah: 'Who among us can dwell in devouring fire ? Who of us cau lie down in eternal burning ?' Men and women, there is only one name given under heaven among men, whereby you may bo saved, and that is Jesus. ' God so loved tho world that he gave His only begotten son, that whosovcr bclieveth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life,' Dcpen'd upo.i it if you aro lost, it is not God's fault, Ho has done everything to save you. It will not be Christ's fault. He has pleaded with blood-red earnestness for your salvation. It will not bo the Holy Spirit's fault. I'elins stirred-mid entreated you mightily. If you arc lost it will he your own fault, Zou will forgo your own chain, You will sigu your own death-warrant. .

Until our heart is changed by the graco of God it is senbbed and ulcerous with a great leprosy; and it is not development wo want, but it is the cure of an eating, loathsome, blasting, damning leprosy. Our whole nature throughout, and throughout, and throughout wrong, needs to be made over, and over, and over again. I wish that every word of that paesage could come down with a few tons weight of emphasis: 'Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, 1 though he had {,iven a hundred thousand dolhfs to religious institutions, though he never used a bud word in his life, though he paid all his debts, though he livedon the tip-top rouud. of respectability. " lixcept a man be born nguiu he cannot see tho kingdom of God."

I havo a word of five letters, but no sheet white enough on which to writo it, and no pen good enough with which to inscribe it. Givo mo the fairest loaf from the heavenly record; give me the pencil with which the angel records his victory; nnd then, with my hand strong to supernatutal ecstasy, and my pen dipped in the light of tbo morning, 1 will write it out in capitals of love: 'J-J-s-rj-s.' Itis this one infinitely fair, to whom you, 0 sinner, aro invited. Christ is waiting for you; waiting as a banquetter waits for the delayed guest—tko meals siuokiug, tho beakers brimming, tho minstrels with fingers on the stiff string, waiting fur the clash of the hoofs at tho gateway. Wailing for you, 0 sinner, as a mother wails for her son who went oil'ten years ago, drugging her bleeding heart along wiih him. Waiting! Oh! giveme a comparison intense enough, hot enough, importunate enough to express my meaning—something high as heaven, and deep as hell, nud long as eternity, Wot hoping that you can help me with such a comparison, I will say: 'lie is wailing as only the all-sympathetic Christ can wait for the coming back of a lost soul.'
