CHAPTER iii.

"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall
be comforted."
IT was wild and desolate spot upon the
banks of Jordon. The cypress, and the
aloe, and the fir cast their sombre shade
far out upon the waters, for the sun was
going down behind Lidanus, and the shad-
ows heightened in its departing glow.
Sound was inaudible, save the occasion al
growl of some wild beast from its gloomy
lair, and the gentle flowing river, making
"sweet music with the enamelled stones"
And there, kneeling, with his ghastly
face appraised to heaven, a haggard and
life-wearied man beSought his God that
he might die. 1t was but mere wreck
barely the semblance of a mau-and
the voice was small and plaintive as an in
fant's in which he prayed-and this was
Helon!
Oh how unlike the youth who had
paced with lordly pride the streets and
palaces of his native city who had been
the gayest where the sound of dance and
music fell-the boldest and the first
"Where the hunter Of deer and the worrior trod,
To his hills that encircle the sea-"
But bark !! the sound Of approaching
footsteps disturb the solitude, and the lep-

a fire.

P-Thats various, as the cat said when
she stole the chicken off the stable.
J-Thats nearer the line, suppose.

J-If hear any more absurd compari-

RATHER AwKwARD.-A few days since
a gentleman, who was en- route for New
York, got out of the station, leaving his
"better half sole occupant of the seat,
returning, found good looking gentleman
occupying his seat and making himself So
ciable with his travelling companion, polite
ly requested the stranger to give him his
seat. "Your seat, sir" said the stran-
ger. "I don't know that you have any
better claim to it than I have" "Very
we'll, sir" replied our friend, if you will
keep it, "allow me to introduce you to my
wife" The stranger looked blank, and
made very hasty tracks for the next car.

ETPresident Pierce seems TO have fail
ed to make his peace with the Kansas
Legislature by the removal Of Governor
Reeder. On the 10th inst, sharp de-
bate sprang up about naming county
Pierce, in which the President was strong

others, that it was springiug old party is
sues upon the Pro-Slavery party; but T.
nally, it was named Wise, in honor Of the
Governor elect Of Virginia.

than that OF God. u
Yea, she would have clasped him to her
bosom, but strong men dashed in and
plucked her back, and bore her struggling
to her home again.
But he had seen her--almost felt her
white arms round his neck-and he had
heard the wild prayer she uttered
"Helon, oh, my beloved May the God
of Israel be nigh unto thee in this thine
hour of trial !"
The dim eye that through all his agony
had betrayed no weakness, now felt the
relief Of bursting tears. Such proof Of
love to the heart-broken man, was as balm
to his crushed spirit-as a staff to his
weary feet. He could go forth, now in
all his misery, out into the bleak wilder
ness, far from the haunts Of men, where
the lion made his lair among the reeds of
Jordan-he could go out and die, and the
arrow of death would be left to its sting.
And so with rent garments and the ashes
sprinkled on his brow, and the loathsOme
covering upon his lip, the leper went his
way.

Before the low portal Of an humble ten
ement, craving admittance, stood the
daughter of Ben-Rama. A low voice bade
her enter, and she passed in. 1t was the
habitation wherein the Savior dwelt, dur
ing his ministry, and now it CHANGED that
its only occupant was he--the meek Naza
rene
A mild, benignant smile rested upon
his face, detracting none from its majesty,
but which seemed to fill the plain, ungar-
nished room as with sunshine.
"What wouldst thou maiden ?"
"Rabbi, behold l come unto thee in
tears-in great tribulation OF heart. He
whom love is stricken with the curse Of
Israel-even the grievous plague of the
leprousy."
And Christ asked her, saying

Then said Jesus
"What wouldst thou have me to do
me, the despised, reviled, and prosecuted
of thy racer"
And she replied
"Thou art mighty, even unto salvation
for thou art the Son of the living God
Lay but thy hand upon the leper, and he
liveth p
"Maiden, be thou comforted; thy faith
shall surely have its reward"
And kneeling there, with fearful eyes,
but joyous heart, she kissed the hem O.

Spring, with its glorious freight of flow
ers, and sultry summer, with its burning
suns had passed away, dream-like, and
were forgotten; and now the mellow days
of Autumn had dawned in all their re-
splendent beauty upon the hills and wales
of pleasant Galilee.
The waviSg grain on the rich fields Of
zebulon leaned gracefully to the reaper's
practised hand; the date tree, and the
olive, and the fig bent earthward with the
richness Of their store while along the
slOl of every hill CLEANED the purple
vintage, more gorgeous in its hue than the
far-famed Tyrian dye.

pulses Of the human heart beat high
when the bright world is dearer to man
