Reviewers, Essayists and Historians have speculate and write about the destiny and perpetuity of nations and races. " The last of the Mohegans," and the last of the Tasmanians," have passed away in our day. History records the last remnants of many other races and tribes. Much is now written about the Polynesian race, and its probable destiny. Hopeful and confident as some may be respecting the inhabitants peopling the beautiful islands of Polynesia, yet there are laws underlying races that must not be ignored, when Polynesians, Tasmanians or Europeans arc concerned.

It is believed that during the past year this object has been steadily kept in view by those who have had the management of the Home. Mrs. Whitteus, who was the manager at the opening of the year, retired in June, and the establishment then passed into the hands of Mr. E. Dunscombc. From January to June, 96 seamen were accommodated in the Home, principally belonging to the English and American, vessels of war in Port. He thus remarks: In order to effect a satisfactory settlement " For every race of men has received the destination assigned to it by God, with the with Mrs. Whitteus, and provide for the character which is suited to it and stamps it." future, the executive committee purchased Again.

Officers for coming year were elected. — On Sunday morning, a Sunday School exhibition was held at Fort Street Church, on which occasion the church was decorated with flowers and festoons. We do not remember to have seen a finer display of the kind than on this occasion. The orchestra was literally covered with flowers, and the large bouquet on the organ was one of the most elegant ever seen here. The Sunday School exercises consisted of a lesson illustratingChrist as the Rose of Sharon. A cross was prepared covered with a circle, on which appeared the words "Jesus the Rose." As each letter was brought up, a class repeated a verse or verses of Scripture applicable to it. At the conclusion of of the recitation and singing, the Pastor, Rev. W. Frear, delivered a short address appropriate to the occasion.— Gazette.
