military review 10 the suburbs of the city Of
Bresiau.
People from all parts of the country came
to it, for there had been no review like this in
the kingdom for several years. When the cav
airy soldiers were running their horses at full
speed, large white horse fell with his rider
and threw him some distance. Every one
thought the man mast be killed, but he was
not A leg was broken and that was ALL
He was taken to house near by, one of the
neatest cottages in the neghborhood of the
city There was beautiful garden in front
and vines were climbing on every tree and
even up the sides Of the house itself. A little
fish pond was to be seen among the shrubhery,
and the gold fish in it were as happy as if they
were playing hide and seek Two large dogs
were seepiug beside the door, They did not
even bark they we're so good and quiet The
wounded officer-for the man who was thrown
was oil officer of high rank-was taken into
the trout bedroom on the second story.
He was insensble at first, but by and by
opened his eyes. The lady of the house then
brought him some wine TO refresh himself, for
that was what the surgeon prescribed. On
the silver waiter were these words -
Give US this day our daily bread"
A very large clock was standing in the cor.
ner. 1t was made Of Rosewood, and over the
face was written in gold letters -
"Time leads to eternity
On the wall were two magnificent pictures,
One was d steamboat, and the otner water
melon That was Martha's house, and she
was handing some wine TO the man who had
sold the watermelon on the steamboat ten
years ago !
The officer was almost overcome when the
whole truth flushed on his mind And so was
Martha, too but her own eyes told her that
the nan who was now in her house was none
other than her former friend on the steamboat
Magnolia.
1t was long time before the officer got well.
Martha had married wealthy man. aud was
not only in comfortable circumstances, but had
every luxury that the heart could wish. Fritz
worked as gardener two years in Dresden, and
afterwards vas invited to Berlin 10 be garden
er for the King of Prussia. So he gets Ii large
salary, and can also pay regular visits TO his
sister.
Now this is the way the Lord takes care Of
those who are kind to Que another and place
themselves in his hands.

nea- Under the vast city of London, rail
way is now constructing, and is completed
four and one half miles. 1t commences at Vic
tora street. The locomotives used cocdense
their own steam and consume their own smoke,
so that neither gas nor vapor are preceptable
The surface OF the rails are of steel and the
liae is laid for two guages, and has double
track throughout. The cars are roomy, ven-
tiIated. and lighted with portable gas. Will
it pay or be like the Thames Tunnel mere
