After peace Of tbilty-threc Years dura

and pillaged the holy cities Of Mecca and Me

to man: and a large number Of citizens
persisted with them. Tie mosques were de-
stroyed all their contents Of any value appro-
priated, the cities completely sacked and
numbers of women and children carried oii
to the desert. The courier who carried the
intelligence to Censtantinople described tho
condition Of .be plandcred towns as distress

Arabian peninsula. Before their repression
in 1918, they could bring into the field 600
600 warriors They believe, as true Mussul-
men, in cue God, aud Mahomet as bis proph-

any claim to divine power. They accept tie
Koran in its primitive simplicity. as Divine
revelation, aud reject all the articles added
BY the Turks. The government is admins
tered By two chiefs; one experimenting civil.

is styled Emir and boasts an uninterrupted
descent from Ebia Scdi, founder Of the gov

terna control Of temporal matters, and the
administration of three or four Bedouin tribes,

GODS HIDDEN ONES.



Many titles are given to the people of God
They are his peculiar treasure, his portion,
his lot, and bis inheritance--a chosen gener.
alton, royal priesthood. holy nation, a Pc
euiar people, the excellent Of the earth, and
the lights of the world Here they are des-
ignated his hidden ones Let us look at
TnrER PECULIAR CHARACTER. The term
hidden may be understood in two senses
As il regards their concealment They
are hidden from the world n several respects
In their origin, for they are born from above
in their principles. for they act not accord
ing to the course Of the world--in their sor-
rows, for there is silent warfare going on
within, two antagonists contending for the
mastery Of the soul--in their JOYS. for a
stranger to divine things Intermediates not
therewith-in their food for they have bid +
den mama, aud meat to cat which the world
knows not of--in their prospects, for it doth
not appear what they shall be-'0ur life is
hid with Christ in God They are hidden
Nth respect TO their security So the
word is used in the parable Of the man who
hid the treasure in the field. Where are be-
levers hidden? In the purposes of God
in his heart--in his coyenant--in his promis-
es-in his hand He hides them in the time
Of temptation-in the season Of afliction-in
the tempests of life. aud in the swelling Jor-
don. Let us view them in
THEIR DIVINE OWNER. THY hidden
ones" They are not their own they are
the Lords, in common with the rest OF man
kind, by his creating power and persevcring
care--but peculiarly as they are chosen in
his councils, called by his grace, sanetiiied
by bis Spirit, devoted to bis glory, and bound
for his kingdom. He acknowledges them as
his own in various ways in this world, and
they shall be mine, saith the Lord, in that
day when | make w my jewels Though
hidden now, they shall not be so always !;
for there shall be a manifestation of the sons
of God

The nearer bells are hung to tue surface
of the earth, other things being equal. the
farther they can be heard. Franklin has re
marked, that many years ago. the inhabitants
of Philadelphia had bell imported from
England. In order to judge of the sound. it
was elevated on triangle in the great street
of the city, and struck ; as it happened ON a
market day, when the people were coming to
market were surprised on hearing the sound
of "a bell at greater distance from the city
than they had ever heard any bell before. =
This circumstance excited TIE attention Of
the curious; and it was discovered that the
sound Of the bell. when struck in the street
reached nearly double the distance it did
when raised in the air. In the air sound
travels at the rate of from l,130 to 1.I40
feet per second In water. 1905 feet per
second Sounds are distinct, at twiee the
distance on water that they are on land.

THE GENTLEMAN.

| have stated already that the forbcaring
use of power is sure attribute Of the gentle
man. indeed we may say that power, physi-
cal, moral, purely social or political, is one Of
the toucbstones Of genuine craftsmanship
The power which the husband has over his
wife, in which we must Include the imnuuity
with which he may be unkind to her-the
father over his chilren-thc teacher over
bis pupils the old over the young, aud the
young over the aged---the strong over the
weak--the officer over his men the master
Of vessel over his bands-the magistrate
over the citizen--tb tie employer over the en-
ployed--the rich over the poor-the educa-
ted over the uulettered--the experienced
over the con6ding--the keeper Of n secret
over him whom il tonches--the gifted over
the ordinary man--eyen the clever over the
silly--the forbearing and inofeDsiye use Of
all this power and authority, or a total alb
stinence from it, where the case admits it.,
will show the gentleman in a plain Light
Every Traveller knows at once whether gen
tleman or rude officer is searching his trunk.
But the use of rover does not only form a
toucbstone; even the manner in which an in :.
diyidual enjoys certain advantages over oth-
ers is a test. No gentleman can boast of the
delights of superior healtl-in the presence of
a languid patient, or speak Of good luck when

Spielberg and which has appeared IN an ad
diticn of his work publishedat Lcipsie]
Who viii give back the love VI song to the
prisoner? Thou alone, oh, Sun, divine trea-
sury of light.
Oh how doest thou, beyond the darkness
of this my tonic, intoxicate with thine en-
chanting rayishment all nature with thy
love
If from these foods, the torrents Of genial
light in which thou aoest battle the worlds,
and which by thee do vivify the worlds

prison, that also wakes up into life, and is nc
longer tomb
But alas why doest thou so rarely pour
forth ofthy gifts upon these fatal shores
Why contest thou not more often in thy
brightness to the gloomy dungeons where
groan Italian hearts?
Less accustomed to the glory Of thy radi
ance, the Sons of the North love thee not sc
arlently, so deeply.
But we, nursed from the cradle in the love
of thee, we must seek thee, see thee or die .
Oh never may so dense gloom veil thee
in the far distant skies Of my own sweet coun.
try
Beam forth to the eyes of the poor cap
tivc's father. beam forth to the eyes of lis
mother, and let thy cheering ray charm away
their grief.
Yet what matters it in what dark vault |

since God hath given me a soul that naughl

Some very interesting facts regarding the

by the Rev. J. McGregor Bcrtham. who

to St Helena, Mr. Bertram said that, hayIrg
designed laboring among tho nations ofSouth
Africa, he had spent some time at the Cane
Of Good Hope. While there, young man.
native Of St. Helena. who had come 10 the
Cape to carry on his business, became n
Christian, when he presented the claims Of
the Island to The churches at The Cape as a
missionary field.
Mr. Bertram, on the representation Of the
Young convert, turned his attention 10 this
lslard lie was the first dissenting minister
who had ever catered the harbor for the pur-
pose Of settling there. 1t is bn. about five
years since be lirst went to st. Helena. and
there are now church Of whites and two
native churches. and several Sunday schools.
The inhabitants OF the Island be described
as ignorant and degraded, and as without
even the idea Of a soul or Of God until
they were enlightened by the missionary.

THE SABBATH BELL.

by CHARLES r. cADY.
Sitting at my window, now
Comes the music stealing soft,
As above yon hillock's brow
Float the Sabbath-ehimes aloft,
Often, in my younger years,
When the evening shadows fell,
How | fingered long, TO hear
Holy voices Of Sabbath Bell.
! have stood in sorrow there
BY that grave 10 me so dear
Where no passing eye could stare,
And no passing foot was near.
While upon the gale would rise.
Sweeping gently down the dell
Music springing to the skies,
From that evening Sabbath Bell.
Strange it is that Mnsic's voice.
Speaking on the Sabba,h's eve,
Will the sinking soul rejoice
And the laden heart relieve
Oh. an influence by that tone,
More than mortal tongue can tell,
Is upon the spirit thrown
by the voice Of Sabbath Bell
On our bosom's lonely strand.
When liie's pillows cease to play,
And unto the Spirit-land,
Voices call our hearts away;
Aud the parting Spirits smile
Is its truest. purest knell--
Who will say that ear, the while.
Hears no angel Sabbath Bell
