Messrs. Fisk and Parsons, american
missionaries, visited Sardis in the autumn
of 1920. They speak of "the ruins of
this once splendid city, with nothing now
to be seen but a few mud huts, inhabited
by ignorant, stupid, filthy Turks, and the
only men who bear the Christian name, at
work all day in their mill. Every thing
seems as if God had cursed the place, and
left it to the dominion of Satan" A mod

were the gigantic tumuli of the Lydian
monarchs; and around them spread those
very plains once trodden by the countless
hosts of Xerxes, when hurrying on to find
a sepulchre at Marathon. But all, all had
passed away! There were before me the
fanes of dead religion, the tombs of for
gotten monarchs, and the palm-tree that
waved in the banquet-hall Of kings.

to say nothing but what he was personally
knowing to.
"Waal {" said the countryman.'
Still he would continue to tell what his

THE LANDLADY'S DAUGHTER.
There came three students over the Rhine,
Dame Werter's house they entered in
'Dalne Werter, hast thou good beer and wine,
And where is that lovely daughter of thine2"
"My beer and my wine are fresh and clear,
Ny daughter is lying cold on her bier.'
They stepped within the chamber of rest
Where shrined lay the maiden in black robes
drest.
The first he drew from her face the veil -
"Ah, vert thou alive, thou maiden so pale,"
He said, as he GREED with saddened brow
"jow dearly would love thee now"
The second, he covered the face anew,
And weeping he turned aside from the view;
"Ah me that thou liest on the cold bier,
The one have loved for so many year."
The third once more uplifted the veil
He kissed the life SO deadly pale
"Thee loved ever, still love thee,
And thee will love through eternity"
And that kiss, that kiss with Promethean fame
Thrilled with life that quivering flame,
And the maid uprose and stood by his side
That students own loved and loving bride.
