and sit down or hang by a strap, in order to be
near your friends. I tell you when you come back
after an absence of five or ten years, even the strap
seems a dear old-memory. Those men are doing a
grand good work.” It was Livingston who said
that in the depressing loneliness and solitude of
the African wilderness he was held up only by the
Savior’s promise: “Lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world.”

Tue Missionary’s Wire.— Another traveler
in the heathen countries of the East writes thus of
the missionary’s wife: There is something, exceed-
ingly interesting in a missionary’s wife. I saw
much of the missionaries abroad, and even made
many warm friends among them; and I repeat it,
there is something exceedingly interesting in a mis-
sionary’s wife. She who had been cherished as a
plant that the winds must not breathe on too rudely,
recovers from the separation from her friends to
find herself in a land of barbarians, where her loud
cry of distress can never reach their ears. New tics
twine around her heart, and the tender and helpless
girl changes her very nature, and becomes the staff
and support of the man. In his hours of despon-
dency, she raises his drooping spirits, she bathes his
aching head, and smooths his pillow of sickness.
I have entered her dwelling, and have been wel-
comed as a brother; have answered her hurried,
anxious questions, and sometimes, when I knew any
of her friends at home, I have been for a moment
more than recompensed for all the toils and priva-
tions of a traveler in the East. And when I left
her dwelling, it was with a mind burdened with
remembrances to friends whom she will, perhaps,
never see again.
