A Visit to Bethany.

WE went over the hill to Bethany; we
had climbed up by the path on which
David flew from Absalom, and we were
10 return by the ROAD to the Triumphal
Entry. Ali along the ridge we enjoyed a
magnificent panorama; blue piece OF
the Dead Sea, the Jordan plain extending
far up towards Hermon. with the green
ribbon of the river winding through it,
and the long, even rahge of the Moab
Hills, blue in the distance. The prospect
was almost Swiss in its character, but it is
a mass of bare hills, with scarcely tree
except in the Immediate foreground.
Bethany is squalid hamlet clinging tn
the rocky hillside, with only one redeem
ing feature about 1.-THE prospect. A few
wretched one-story huts of stone, and
miserable handful of MOslems, occupy
this favorite home and resting place OF
our Lord. Close at hand, by the roadside
cut in the rock and reached by steep de
scent of twenty six steps, is the damp and
doubtful tomb of Lazarus, down into
which anyone may 60 for half a franc
paid to the Moslem guardian. The house
of Mary and Martha is exhibited among
the big rocks and fragments of walls;
upon older foundations loose walls are
laid, rudely and recently patched up with
cut stones in fragments, and pieces of
Roman columns The house of Simon
the leper, overlooking the whole, is q
mere heap of ruins. It does not matter
however, that all these dwellings are mod
ern; this is Bethany, ana when we get
away from its present wretchedness we re-
member only that we have seen the very
place that Christ loved.
We returned along the highway of the
Entry slowly, pausing to identify the
points of that memorable progress. Up to
the crest where Jerusalem broke upon the
sight of the Lord, and whence the pro-
cession, coming round the curve of the
hill, would have the full view of the city
He who rides that way to-day has grand
prospect. One finds Jerusalem most
poetic when seen from Olivet, and Olivet
most lovely when seen from the distance
of the city walls.-CAarles Dudley Warner,

Praying in the Night-Matches.

l AM not surprised at David's praying
to Goo in the night watches; at his rising
from his bed, and ascending to the roof
of his house. and when the mighty heart
of the city was still, and the mountains
round about Jerusalem were sleeping in
the calm brilliancy of an Eastern night,
that he should gaze with rapture on the
sky, and pour forth such psalm Of
praise as " When l consider the Heavens
the work Of Thy fingers" etc.
The night is more suited to prayer tnan
the day. l never wake IN the middle Of
the night without feeling induced to COM
mune with God. One feels brought more
in contact with Him. The whole world
round us, we think, is asleep. But the
great Shepherd of Israel slumbers moi.
nor sleeps. He Is awake, and SO are we.
We feel, in the solemn and silent nj chit
alone with God. And then there is everv-
thing in the circumstances 10 lead ore to
pray. The past is often wildly recalled.
their forms crowd around you. No sleep
can bind them. The night seems the
time in which they should hold spiritual
communion with man. The future, too,
throws its dark shadow over you-the
night Of the grave, the certain death bed,
the night in which no man can work.
And then everything makes such an inn
preston on the mind 1t night, when the
brain Is nervous and susceptible. The

A Texas Desperate Killed.

A RECENT dispatch from Okmulgee, /.
T., gives the following account of the
killing of Bill Posey, notorious desper-
ado of Texas:
Three years since Bill Posey, of Lime.
stone County, Tex, of wealthy parentage,
committed number If crimes. Among
other pleasantries he hung his brother-in-
law in his own dooryard. He ran on in
his wild career until twenty nine indict-
lnents had been found against him in that
State, when he was arrested, tried, con-
victcd, and sentenced to five years in the
State Penitentiary. He escaped from Jail
and fed to the Indian Territory. Subse-
quently he was arrested by Lee Hall, and
served out twenty months of his time, and
again escaped to the Territory, where he
has been scouting for fifteen months past,
often visiting Okmulgee and Muskogee,
and bidding defiance to the United States
Marshals who sought to rearrest him for
the $500 reward offered by the State of
Texas. A few weeks since the Governor
Of Texas made requisition on the Creek
authorities, through the United States
Agent, for Posey. Chief Ward Coachman
ordered SUI Thearpee, Captain of the
Creek Light Horse, to take him, alive or
dead, as he had sworn he never would be
taken alive. This was no easy task, and
the result shows it was no idle boast of
l0sey. Friday last Posey visited this
place to have finger ampulated, and left
or home in the evening. The Captain
followed his trail with two picked as
sistants, and came up with him on Pole
cat Greek, near the Arkansas River. and
ordered him to surrender. POsey was
armed with q sixteen-s shooting Henry rifle

C0nfessing Christ.


Now, IF we are ashamed of Him, He
certainly will be ashamed of us. There
was boy got up in one of the meetings in
Boston number of years ago. There
were many aged Pilgrims there. The
boy got up and he could not talk good
English; he was Norwegian, and four
teen years of age. With the tears trick
ling down his cheeks, he said: :" If tell
the world about Jesus, Jesus will tell the
Father about me-" / have never forgot.
ten that speech cannot tell you word
that those aged n en- said, but that little
boys testimony burned down into my
soul. Ii We own Him in this un5elieving
world, and confess Him, He will confess
US before God and the holy angels. Dur
ing the war our Generals were very anx-
ious to have their names mentioned in
Congress, and how proud they were when
spoken of in words of praise. If we
think so much of being mentioned pub.
licly here, how much ought we to think
of being mentioned in the Courts OF
Heaven? If we confess Him down here,
He will confess us up yonder. / cannot
