MICHEL, after the BARKER's bad left,
was placed on lounge and carried
through gate way to the rear Of his
house. Mr.. KoENIG asked him if he
was suffering much, and where the
greatest pain was. Notwithstanding the
fact that he was almost wholly uncon-
scious, he took hold of Mr.. KoENIG's
hand, and pressed It down on his side
upon his broken and crushed ribs, and
uttered in gutteral tones something like
che, her." as though trying to say

MIcHEL's suffering's were terrible, at
one time he raised himself to sitting
posture, and almost instantly fell back

THE LOST SHEEP.

There were ninety and nine that safely Law
In the shelter of the fold;
And one was out on the hills away,
Far OIL from the gates of gold;
Away on the mountains wild and bare
Away from the tender shepherds care.
Lord. Thou hast here ninety and nine
Are they not enough for Thee2
But the shepherd made answer, This OF
Mine
Has wandered away from me:
And although the roads be rough and steep,
go to the desert TO find Ny sheep"
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed:
Nor how dark the night that the Lord pass
ed through,
Ere He found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry,
Sick, and helpless, and ready to die
"LOrd, whence are those blood drops all the
way
That mark out the mountains tracks"
They We're shed for one who had gone as
tay
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back -
Lord, whence are thy hands so rent and
torn"
They were pierced tonight by many
thorn
And all through the mountains thunder riven
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose a cry to the gates of heaven,
Rejoice have found Ny sheep"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own"
