HASTINGS.

HASTINGS.
One by one we're gently crossing,
At the Masters gracious call;
Though dark waves are rudely tossing
Nothing shall our bark befsll.
BE who Ger the sea is guiding
Every purpose shall fulfil,
For the pillows are subsiding
AS he whispers "Peace, be still"
One by one behold them landing
On yon radiant, blissful shore,
Mid the enrsptured myriads standing
Their Redeemer to adore;
Palms of victory see them waving,
Crowns of glory they obtain,
Earth and time in triumph leaving,
They with Christ forever reign.
0 how soon our lessening number
AL shall stand upon that shore,
Leaving here our dust to slumber
Till the heavens shall be no more
o prepare us, gracious Spirit,
Fill us with ImmanuePs love;
Fit US, through dis boundless merit,
For the Paradise above.

BITTLE OF 4 EOI IND Il BULL DOC

A correspondent in Sunghie Ujoug,
writing under date of April 10th, gives
the following account of remarkable
encounter between boa fifteen feet long
and bull dog. The boa had been con-
fined in cage for some days, but having
been disposed of to Chinese doctor for
its gall, to be used as a medicine, he was
hauled out of the cage on the 10th, to
be taken away. "The boa was immedi-
ately attacked by the dog, who had for
merly had passage of arms with him.
For sometime the boa was quiet, and
only now and then made a snap. The
dog got hold at last, and seized the snake
by the head, but the tables were soon
turned. In an instant the boa caught
the dog by the upper lip and held firmly
on, the dog backing vainly and trying to
get away. In less than half minute
the whole of the snakes body had
EMBODIED the dog in so close an embrace
that the head only could be seen. Before
choppers could be procured blood was
gushing from the dogs mouth, and 1
heard his bones give one crack, and it
was only by chopping the boa to pieces
that We saved the dog. 1 found, on
examination, that the boa has very
strong, sharp, recurved teeth, not only
in the jaws, but also in the palate bones,
which accounts for the dog being unable
to extricate himself in the first instance,
for the teeth being like the Vacune
beechO' of South Africa, the more be
struggled backward the tighter he was
held by the boa. l may add for the
information of the friends of the dog
that he is none the worsefor his squeeze"

The capital Of the Transcausian
provinces Of Russia, Tifis, which
the Russo. Turkish war has brought
prominently into notice, stands on the
two banks Of the Kur, and the stranger
finds it, as Byron found Lisbon, very
imposing place, distance lending great
deal of enchantment to the view of it.
The city dates originally from 4s9, and
in the ninth century it was one of the
most important of commercial centres
In 1916 the Turks built the citadel
which remains. Tiflis was DESTROYED by
Aga Mohammed in 1895, and when re-.
built was on much smaller scale. Rus
STA has owned it only since 1901. The
streets are narrow and dirty, but in
the newer portions are fine government
buildings. Tif1is means warm town, and
its warm sulphur bath, as we'll as con-
siderable commerce, draw many from a
a distance. Tifis suffered severely from
the cholera in 1880, which reduced its
TO about 10000, but it is es.
timated that it contains to-day nearly
six times that number.

NO INTERPRETRk

All travellers with a small stock OF
French at their command remember how
often they have been lured into Partisan
shops by the inviting little sign eng.
fish spoken here" and in many cases it
has proved delusion, if not snare. A
hotel-keeper at Lyons has gone beyond
this, for Mr.. Howard Paul in his enter
tainment relates that the Frenchman had
posted at his door this notice: "Enplish
German, Italian and Spanish spoken
here" When he arrived, he asked for
the Interpreter in as decent French as he
could summon. Monster" replied the
landlord, "there is none" "What. no
interpreter? and yet you announce that
all the languages are spoken here.~ The
reply was charming: ayes, sir, by the
travellers"

There has been sudden falling off in,
the trade with England of American fresh
meat. There are several reasons for this
decline. The warm weather in England
has had something to do with it, The.
business at the outset proved profitable
and, as consequence, too many rushed
into it. The later exporters were too
eager to realize large profits, were not
careful enough as to the quality of their
stock, and handled their shipments badly.
In other words. from a lack of hard bust.
ness sense and severe business honesty
losses have come instead of extrayapant
profits. Will business men never learn
the old, old lesson that honesty is always
polite, and integrity always expedient?
Hard-headed Englishmen are the last
men in the werld to be imposed upon by
bad beer or bad beef, or an inferior
article of any kind. Nor will they ever
pay penny too much for anything under
thesun.

paper, and, finding its comments of 8
nature unusually strong in praise, ran
up with it to Col. Benton, who was still
in bed. "Have you read it, sir? Does
it do justice to the subject" The reply
was that it did. Il know all about it.
sir replied Benton, with great dignity,
81 wlote it all myself, sir"
The speaker alluded to the number OF
distinguished men who left North Caro-
lima 10 render public service TO other
states. Col. Benton was very proud OF
of his origin and spoke with great pride
Of the fact that twenty-six months before
the declaration Of independence North
Carolina had thrown off the British yoke,
and Col. Benton had said: There it is
that the spirit of opposition to tyranny
originated"
After his trouble with Uharles Lucas a
challenge was sent him by another me,n-
Der of the family which received 10
netice.
On the same street with him lived man
named Strother, for whom Col. Benton
had great contempt. While Strother
was standing on his front steps Benton
would say: You scoundrel, don't show
yourself in my presence. You vagabond,
don't dare to show yourself" Strother
challenged him, but Benton replied, that
he lad promised his wife at the time Of
his marriage to give up daeling. Strother
threatened a personal assault, but the
colonel was always armed to receive him.
When the Wing party thought they
could defeat Benton by giving their
votes 10 Gov. Boggs, Benton was still
elected. After the election, he invited
all parties to drink champagne, and
Boggs, in his ob-eGuiousness, didup Ben
tons credentials, and, with great flourish,
presented them 10 him, remarking, "Col. |
Benton. will be glad % hear from you
at Washington" Yes, sir" he thun-
dered, "you shall, SIR" Poor Boggs
crept away greatly diminished.
The speaker alluded to the fact that
BentOn's success was greatly due to the
excellent training of his mother.
