AMONG THE LIONS.

When the Rev. Samuel Broadbent
was travelling near to the diamond
fields of South Africa, he and his
family slept in the wagon in which
they travelled. One pitchy dark
night they several times heard noise
among their cattle, and the next
morning found q young COW had
been killed, and lay in front Of the
wagon. q - a-l. 90 81
'sAs I sat on the chest, ~ says the
missionary. zone Of my little boys
came and sat on my knee. ! was
comforting him on the loss Of the new
milk for his breakfast, as the lions
had torn the poor COW, when there
appeared q noble lioness, walking
through the grass, bringing q Hhelp
with her. At the same time, my IA
vorite dog, Malbrook, was feasting on
the carcass of the cow. On seeing the
ioness approach, he barked, at her
angrily. She paused q moment,
raised her head, and lashed her tail
about, then sprang furiously at him.
BY a nimble leap and rush towards
Us, he barely escaped her claws and
teeth. just at the pole OF the wagon,
close to which sat, with my eldest
bog on my knee, and my wife, the
next boy, and servant girl inside,
she turned sway, and we were saved.
"The following night beastsof prey
in great numbers, proWlsd about our
encampment, Several large lions hRd
walked around US" .-I r. -----.''-i..
The next day, when travelling was
pleasant, they shot at 3 buck, which
they hoped to have for dinner. The
report Of the gun reused I've lions
The wagons were turned another way
and the lions slowly moved to a
greater distance, rising on their hind
legs, playing With each other like
dogs.
Among the dangers good missiona-
ries are exposed to is that OF wild
beasts. Aut though, like the Apostle
Paul, they are ain dangers oft,a the
love which first led them to 90 forth
to tell Of Jesus, still moves them to
be faithful to their work.-M Y. o.

Here Is q curious story Of the old
slavery times, which we pick up from
Western California newspaper. In
the gold mining regions Of Burke
county, lived an Industrious, well-te-
do free colored woman, named Nan
ey Boyce. She was engaged TO mar
~ Jack, slave, and in order to have
everything pleasant, she put her
hand in her pocket and bought him
Of his master. But she was shreWd
enough to take bill Of sale Of him,
fortunately, as 1t happened, for Jack
turned out TO be utterly worthless,
and perfect sOt. But little need was
there for Nancy to 90 to the Courts
for relief by divorce. She knew q
better way than that She owned
her man, and she simply sold him to
q slave dealer, who carried him of 10
thu far Southwest, so that the sharp
Nancy was never bothered by him
again. Husbands have been badly
sold before, though not In this partie-
uiar way.

Railroads Among the Turks.

Turkey is turning her attention to rail-
way enterprises, and though some of her
complete lines and comptemplated pro-
jects might seem small to American rail
way kings, they indicate progression
and promise of better things. The
Levant Herald says that M. Cottard,
Director of Enterprise Generate for rail-
way construction, has been inspecting
branch line from Adrianople to Dede-
Agatch and the various sections of the
great main line from Stamboul to Adrian
ople. The latter is fast approaching
completion, and will be finished during
April as far as the river Martha.
An iron bridge is being built there con-
Meeting with other lines, which will effect
an important and convenient railroad
network. Surveys for railroad from
Shumla to Adrianople have been COM
plted, and though the new line will be
shorter than that proposed by the Rou-
manian Railway Company, which was
rejected on strategic grounds, it will ne
cessitate a tunnel through the Balkan
Mountains of some a, 900 yards in length
General Mehemet Pasha, Chief of the
Staff of the Secoud Turkish Army Corps,
has brought to Constantinople the trac-
ings of the new line, which is regarded
as advantageous in the military point OF
view, and not liable to hostile attacks
from an enemy's forces moving inland
from the shores of the Black Sea.
