All one is missing there, yet for her they pray
And ask of Heaven its best and earliest boon
Perpetual sunshine for her earthly way
path with loves bright howrets ever strewn.
Absent, but unforgotten, thou shalt ever dwell
Afar from all thy childhood loved or knew
Yet at thy name fond hearts will often swell,
And tears, perchance, some tender cheek bedsw;
And they will muse awhile, and signing say
Chow passes time with Dear ones far away 2'
Still turn thee to thy childhoods home,
Though thou art parted from the loved ones there
Oft to thy heart delicious memories will come,
OF its green shades, its valleys lone and fair.
In memory thou art again within its hallowed walls,
And singing in thy old accustomed seat;
You see the summer sunlight where it falls,
And list the Gagged Canary's warbling sweet
Look upon friendly faces, and again
Catch the soft notes of some familiar strain.
Sweet home, where childhood's young affections
rise,
Where first we learned what human love W i'll be ;
Though here fast bound by later, holier ties,
Unchanging still my fond heart turns to thee.
Still. still it haunts the cid, the favored spot
Where throng the gentle memories of the past,
In watchfu tenderness all unfOrgot,
Still DER my soul its chain of love is cast
That love which, like the polo-star's constant
ray,
Unfailing, cheers life's dark andNdevious way.

SEA OF TIBRRIAs.-The Sea Of Tberias, or
Gallllee. with its picturesque scenery, and
numerous sacred localities on its borders,
the scenes of so many thrilling incidents
connected with our Lords ministry, is
hailed with JOY by all travellers on their
first approach to it for there is no region
on earth, except Jerusalem and its environs,
which is richer in Biblical associations.
Tiberias is far from being large sheet Of
water yet, sma'I-as il is in extent, it is q
remarkable fact that no two of the trav-
elers who have visited it have over agreed
in their estimate of its dimensions. This
circumstance is owing, think. in part to
the atmosphere of the climate being 30 trans
parent that one is liable to be greatly de-
ceived in regard to measuring distances by
the eye alone; or in other words, the re-
fractive power of the atmosphere, proba-
bly, produced by diminution of the den.
sity of its lower stratum, in consequence
OF the increase of heat communicated to it
by the rays of the sun, powerfully reflected
from the surface of the earth, produces an
optical illusion by which objects seen
across the water are brought nearer. This
illusion is described at length in apple
tons New American Encyclopedia" under
the general heads Of Mirage" and "Fata
MorgaEa.'

CHAPTER VII.

On the night previous to the one on which
Lazy OLear left Lewistown with dispatches
for Detroit, he was sentinel, the only one
on the Niagara below Lewistown. In the
early part of the night, he had gone up to
Sefton Hill, where he held a long conference
with the Colonel, having procured his friend
I-Ashman, or Red Ashman, whom we hav e
already mentioned-to take his place. He
informed Colonel Seton of his intended de.
parture, and that he was going the next
day observing that, if he wished 10 write
to Sir Edgar Lee, this would probably be
the only opportunity he might have, before
some engagement would take place between
the Americans and English. 1t was not
likely, he said, that he should return to
Queenstown until after the surrender of
Michigan to the British adding
II have succeeded so we'll in frightening
old Hull with the terrible threats of Sir
Isaac Brock to let loose his savages on the
whole garrison at Detroit, and to have his
scalp carried on a pole at the head of the
English army, that the old coward would
creep into an egg-shell if he could. All
that General Brock has to do is to come
and take possession. Your countrymen,
Colonel, owe me deep debt of gratitude. "
(Which they will no doubt repay" re-
piled he land will detain you no longer
than to write few lines to Sir Edgar. I
expected communication from him tonight
Did you not bring any?"
"None, You forget, sir, that it is yet too
early for the boat to come over"
Every true had forgotten. Well, let
the letters, when they come, remain in the
cavity; | will get them safely in the morn

Colonel Seton wrote his letter, and gave
it to Levy 0'Lear, who returned to his post
and relieved his friend. short time be-
fore midnight, a boat on the British side
of the water appeared slowly floating along,
when 0Lear Immediately began going
through his military exercise. The boat
then came swiftly over, propelled by pair
of muflled oars, aud glided noisclessly into
a mock in the river, overshadowed by a
clump Of large trees, whose branches nearly
touched the water. Its occupant stepped
ON shore, and, STOPPING down, deposited a
package of letters in cavity at the root of
one of the trees, taking out the letter from
Colonel Seton, which Lazy had placed there
then re-entered his boat, which, like fairy
bark, in few moments was out of sight.
This was the mode of communication be-
tween the English nobleman and Colonel
Seton. Lazy OLear eontriyed to let the

ABsALoM's SwoRD.-The French journals
give tho following singular paragraph:
A strange discovery has Just been made
by Major Pappazolu, of Bucharest--the
sword which belonged to Absalom. The
bladehas on ono side the following words
traced in Hebrew character Present from
Gessur to Ansalom, son of David Jeho,
Jeho.' On the same side is engraved the
image of the heXagonal seal of David, and
on tho other some characters, the meaning
of which has not been yet explained On
the corresponding place to those of the He
brew characters, and the opposite side of
the blade, are these words engraved in
gold: Titus accept &c Jerusalem.
This sword also had handle in gold
representing at the upper part warrior s
head covered with helmet, and Joined by
Il chain to dragons head which formed the
hilt. The old monk, possessor of this
weapon, procured it from Janissary, into
whose hands it fell during the disturbance
at Constantinoplo, in 1907. In moment OF
distress he sold the handle and the scab-
bard, which was, he says made of kind of
serpent's skin and mounted in gold The
ancient origin of the blade is proved by a
manufacturer mark traced in Semitic char
acteIS.

MAGNITUDE OF RussIA.-Russia is the
greatest unbroken empire, for extent, that
ever existed-occupying vast regions of
Europe and Asia, and nearly one-sixth of
the habitable globe. 1t is forty-one times
the size of France, and one hundred and
thirty eight times that of England. Yet it
was too small for the ambition of Alexan-
der, who is reported to have said II in
sist upon having the Baltic to skate upon.
the Caspian for bathing place, the Black
Sea as washing basin, and the North Pa
cifc Ocean as Il fish pond" He encroached
on Tartary for pasture, on Persia and
Georgia for vineyard, on Poland for a
farm, on Finland and Lapand as hunting
ground, and part OF North America as a
place of Punishment for offenders. Yet
with all his ambition and real greatness of
character, both he and his successor have
now retired from the stage of time with
out realizing their hopes of universal en-
pire. Tho possession of India is now his
fondest hope; but England, in actual pos
session, is an insuperablo barrier
