CHRIST AND THE CENTURION.
BY MISS FLEA BAYL

BY MISS FLEA BAYLY.
1t was morn in Palestine, when fourth
From Pilates gates long procession passed
The sun was up in all his noon-day might,
And helm and cOrselet glittered in his beams
While an oppressive languOr, like the heat
Engendered by the Siroc's fiery breath,
Fell on the senses, lullng them into
A deathlike drowsiness. Before the walls.
A mighty crowd was gathered-they had come
To gaze upon and mock the Holy One
And expectation had attained its height.
But note the sudden hush that falls around
The trumpet sounds again, and through the arch
An humble figure, with a face OF sweet
Unmurmuring mildness, thro' the clotted blood
Streams from the crown ofthOrns upon his head,
Walks firmly on. A massive cross he bears
Upon his shoulders. But the weigh int is less
Than which grief hath cast around his mind
Not for himself, but for the souls whom he
Came but on earth to save. Lauhter and lest
Untimely mirth and mocking lips are still,
With an involuntary thrill Of awe
Ashe comes forth. Who could survey that brow
And not feel touch'd by its suhlimity?
And new they pass the city's walls, and far
In the wide prospect mournful Calvary
Is just descernibe. The sun Is yelled
With clouds that have dark portentous look,
And EOlus hath lOosed the keen west wind
To howl a requiem fitted to the hour.
O'SrcOme with thirst, with the long march
faugued,
Jesus would fain repose himself awhile.
Even this they grant nst-laughing at his thirst
A sponge they dip in vinegar, and press
The vintage to his pale and f'verish lips
And, as he staggers meath his burthen's weight,
A bearded soldier steps without the ranks
And smiteS him on the cheek to chide his sloth
But Jesus, calling all his dignity
Into that noble countenance. but bends
A monrnful look the centurion
Enchanting in the same WnaltOTed tone,
IgO, bUt tdrTy thou until come.

MANUFACTURES OF RHODE IsLAND.-The
extension Of the manufactures in this cour-
try forms one of the most remarkable and in
structiVe portions of its history In 1910
the manufactures of Rhode Island, as ascer-
tanned by the census of that year, were as
follows: twenty-six cotton mills, containing
I26,030 spindles; two woolen mills contain
ling GAG spindles; twenty five FILLING mills;
twenty four carding machines; four thousand
five hundred and sxty-fre looms, principal
lily IN families; two paper haagings manufaC-
tories; one snuff mill; two sugar refneries
one salt works; enc brass foundry; nine rope
walks; twenty eight ga mills; twelve wa
ter mills for making machinery, two grinding
bark and one Of them dressing leather, twelve
rum dislilleries; three gin distileries; one
steel furnace; two iron works; three FORCES;
two bIoomeries; seven air furnces; one slit
ting mill; thirty three trip hammers: one

factories. The amount off cotton cloth made
annually was 2, Ill, 1929. and the average
price was 40 cents yard The total value
l0f articles manufactured in this State, was
s., 847 500. What a contrast does this pre-.
sent to the present condition Of manufactures
