p Writing to the Obserrer from Jeru-
salem, Eusebius says:
70 Apart from the sacred associations
of the Mount of Olives, it is one OF
the most interesting places in the re-
gion of Jerusalem. The view of the
city itself is the finest to be had from
any point. The summit of the Mount
of Olives is three hundred feet above
the area of the temple, on which it
looks directly down, as upon the
whole city which lies spread utslike
map before ones eyes. Every point
in the city can be distinguished, and
every mountain round about can be
seen, and, looking eastward, we see
the Valley of the Jordan. The Dead
Sea itself, although nearly twenty
miles distant, and three thousand nine
hundred and thirty-five feet below, Is
as plain to the sight as Jerusalem. If
the view is SO Interesting now, What
must it have been when Jerusalem
was in Its glory and the land of Pales7
tine like a garden ?''iiiiH ela 7sno 81

The fall has a clear descent, accord

taken simultaneously by Mr.. Brown
at the bottom, and by my colleague,
Mr.. Mitchell, at the top, of 750 feet.
Above, the Potaro glides smoothly in
a slight depression of the table of con7
glomerate sandstone, and disappears
over the edge in a body which we es-
timated at so yards in width, and of
depth uncertain in the center, but
Swallowing RAPIDLY toward either
bank. When Mr.. Brown discovered
the Fall in April, the rocky channe
was completely covered, and the
stream must have had width Of at
least 100 yards. AT present it is di-
minishing in volume, and, as the In
dians assured us, will continue to do
so till October, when only the central
and deeper portion, about one third
of the whole, will remain. The best

PADDLE ?. YouR owN cANoE.

Some one most wisely has told US
A thing that is trite, must be true
That we should be up and ADDING,
And paddle'' our little canoe.
Th' advice has PHILOSOPHY in it;
'Tis good for both Gentile and Jew:
Then why should we stop or e'er falter
To paddle that little canoe.
There surely is nothing like trying.
Though doomed to failure or two;
The brave will but struggle the harder
When tempests howl round their canoe.
"a Adyersity's wave may o'ertake us,
And friends may prove faithless or few,
But the way to o'ercome adverse fortune
80 Is. onward to push our canoe.
Look out upon life's troubled ocean,
SIS With heart that will both dare and do,
And neither let biIlow nor tempest
Stop paddle that moves your canoe.
m There are those that will envy your success
With malice will meanly pursue,
Yet turn not aside from your purpose.
a But paddle your little canoe
1t matters not what are your talents,
If fortune be fckle to you,
The clown with his thousands will shun you
Yet heed not. but push your canoe
Your neighbor's an ass, all acknowledge
s Has dollars in thousands not few.
And friends without number cling round him
All eager to push his canoe,
But you perhaps, noble by nature,
~ Though not in your pocket SOUS (soo)
May struggle 'gainst billoW and tempest
/ With none to help push your canoe.
Then save it! If not by your talents,
81 BY tn muscle that God gave to you;
Be patient, and fearless, and steady,
oar And drive with will your canoe.
Don't sit down to wait on dame fortune,
a. . She'll jilt you as sure as you do;
But up and prepars fol. .iife's battle,
!'atlf And launch forth to sea your canoe.
= Don't sit down to fret or to murnur,
q O'er ills that have followed you through
Iife's darkly bewildering mazes,
But stoutly row on your canoe.
Don't wait on the promise Of others,
.ser1 They may mean what they say or may do
n But you'll owe them debt and you'll never
, 7r Feel freq in your fragile canoe.
Z Trust, then, to your talents or muscle,
Be patient, be fearless be true,
fH And il e'er a cloud should o'ertake you,
!tF Row harder to save your canoe.
p The task may seem great at beginning,
And oft may assume dark hue,
I5 But failure has seldom o'ertaken
% % The brave one that rows his canoe
The haven's in sight on and win 1t,
Ne'er lag as the sluggard would do,
But up with light heart and steady
u In safety to mooryo canoe.
Then laugh al the wild rolling billow,
Ii q Aye. laugh at the storms that pursue,
And scorn then. the one that has shunn'd you
When struggling to save your canoe.

MAGGIE,s LESSON.
a TALE OF THE FAR WEST.

A pleasant sight greeted Mr.. Mar
tyn's eye as he threw open the door
leading to the apartment serving as
kitchen, dining and sitting room in
one, on this very cold night in mid
winter. A bright fire cracked and
sparkled in the wide chimney-place,
the Kettle sang merry tune all to
itself, to which demure grimalkin"
nodded grave approvals. A round
table, drawn to the center of the floor
with snowy cover and neat appoint
ments, shone in the red light thrown
by the logs in burning. But there
was evidently something wanting to
complete it's comfort for the master,
who glanced expectantly around as he
walked towards the fire.
7" Where's Maggie ?" he asked, final
~, throwing down his bundle of FROST
crusted wood on the hearth.
"She has gone with Arthur Tracy
to Sandville," answered his wife,
mentioning village several miles to
the west. He had some business to
transact, and asked her to 60"
"Gone with Tracy!" repeated the
husband, in tone of surprise and
annoyance. Il thought Harry was
coming here tonight"
!" 1 believe she decided to go with
Arthur girls are changeable, you
know" returned the wife.
"Girls are foolsl !" added Mr.. Mar
tyn, administering a vigorous kick to
the huge black log by way of empha-
sis, sending a shower of red sparks up
the chimney. Bear in mind, Janet"
he exclaimed, "Mag will play her
tricks once too often. Harry Nelson
is as fine a young fellow as ever
stepped in shoe leather, and if she Of
fends him, she'll rue the day she did
it."

place at the tea table. Mothers love

I Mr.. Martyr finished his supper il
silence, but anxiety soon took th'
4 place of anger in his heart.
! "Did you caution Maggie abou
coming home before dark ?" he asked

easily at the clock, which was on tn

Six, seven, eight struck, and still Il
signs of their return.
