He droa:urd of that leather belt which
held the treasure at night, and thought of
il all day. At last. rs they lay in an
American Port, the iiend's whispers
grew TOO strong tor him. He lifted his
grey head from his hammock and peeped
inlo thai of the Portuguese. There lay
the black curlS over the bronZed brow.
and the great white teeth glittering in
the open mouth. and The black lashes
vciled the bright eyes.
He was sound asleep, and il would be
so easy 10 uubucklc the belt; or to cut it
oll--that would be more quickly done.
And the man let himself ont of his
hammock and crept to the side of the
Portuguese He drew his knife and cut
away that portion of the belt where the
money jinglcd and had thrust it into his
breast, when the young man awokc and
grapp!od him.
The Portuguese was young but unarm-
ed anil hcwidcied by the surprise of the
moment. and that sharp knife was in the
hand of Harry Rose.

And then the black cap was put on,
and Harry Rose looked on the world no

And his is not the nnly instance which

great crimes spring.
The theft of only n cent may end in

EASTER SERVICE IN THE GREEK
CHURCH.

The Easter service in the Greek
Church Is very solemn and impos-
ing. All classes of members are at
tired in their holiday clothes, and
distinctions of social rank are for the
time abolished. The mass begins at
midnight. The bishop is in the holy
OF holies praying for the pardon and
absolution of the multitude. who
wait in silence, and standing in the
body OF the church, where there are
no pews. The devotions of the
bishop concluded, he appears. stand
ing on the highest step of the altar.
and raising his hands toward heaven.
he bestows his benediction on the
people. Descending from the altar.
he advances toward the bier, and.
raising the cover of the coffin. he dis
covers that the body of Christ no
longer lies therein; he announces
this to the congregation, and then
leaves the cathedral, at the head OF
the procession of the clergy. The
people wait in silence, for he is gone
to seek the body, which is no more
"where it was laid" The sound of
solemn voices is heard at intervals
from which, whilst the procession
makes the circuit Of the cathedral
three times in the search. Amid a
breathless silence the procession re-
enters. The bishop then mounting
the steps Of the altar, and standing
upon the highest, pronounces, in a
voice whose tones reverberate to the
remotest corner of the edifice, and
thrill like ar electric shock through
the hearts of his congregation, the
words, "Christ is risen" In an in
slant the singers burst out into a
joyous chorus, every hand holds a
lighted taper, universe, deligh. per-
vades the people, who congratulate
each other upon the happy event.
and return thanksgiving to heaven.
The bishop, bearing incense, fol-
lowed by the priests, goes among the
congregation, still proclaiming the
welcome tidings; and, amid the
cheerful voice of the choir. the
fumes of incense, and the brilliancy
of thousands Of lights moving with
every movement of their bearers, the
ceremony of Easter day is ended.
