THE THREE KINGS.
BIT henry W. LoNeFRLLow.

Three Kings came riding from far away,
Melchi or and Casper and Baltazar;
Three Wise Men out of the East were they,
And they travelled by night and they slept by
day
For their guide was beautiful wonderful
Star. -.f
The star was so beautiful, large and clear,
That all the other Stars of the sky
Became white mist in the atmosphere,
And the wise Men knew that the coming
was near
OF the Prince foretold in the prophecy.
Three caskets they bore on their saddle bows
Three caskets of gold with golden keys;
Their robes were of crimson silk with rows
OF bells and pomegranates and of furbelows,
Their turbans like blossoming almond trees.
And so the Three Kings rode into the West,
Through the dusk of night over hills and
-, dells,
And sometimes they nodded with head on
breast,
And sometimes talked as they paused to rest,
With the people they met at the wayside
wells. rr
"Of the child that is born" said Baltazsr,
''Good people, ] pray you tell US the news,
For we in the east have seen his star,
And have riddea fast, and have ridden Tar,
To find and worship the King of the Jews"
And the people answered, ''You ask in vain;
We know Of no Xing but Herod the Great
They thought the Wise Men were men insane,
AS they spurred their horses scross the plain
Like riders in haste who cannot wait.
And when they came to Jerusalem, .
Herod the Great, who had heard this thing,
Sent for the Wise Men and questioned them !!
And said, go down into Bethlehem,
And bring me tidings of this new king"
So they rode away; and the star stood still,
The only one in the gray of morn; ~,
Yes, it stopped, it stool still of its own free
l will. It3 .t qi g. .-Ft-o
Right over Bethlehem on the hill,
The city of David where Christ was born.
And the Three Kings rode through the gate
and the guard,
Through the silent street, till their horses
turned
And neighed as they entered the great inn
yard;
But the windows were closed and the doors
were barred. 80 .-.lG t.ss. rH
And only light in the stable burned,
And cIadled there in the scented hay,
In the air made sweet with The breath Of
kline,
The little child in the manger lay
The child that would be King one day
Of a Kingdom not human but divine.
His mother, Mary of Nazareth,
Sat watching beside his place of rest,
Watching the even flow of his breath,
For the Joy of life and the terror Of death
Were mingled together in her breast.
They laid their offerings at his feet, -s
The gold was their tribute to king,
The frankincense, with its odor sweet,
Was for the priest, the Paraclete,
The myrth for the body's burying. .-.
And the mother wondered and bowed her
head, - atst HEA
And sat as still as statue of stone;
Her heart was troubled; yet comforted,
Remembering what the angel had said
Of an endless reign and of David's throne.
Then the Kings rode out of the city gate
With the chatter of hoofs in proud array;
But they went not back TO Herod the Great,
For they knew his malice and feared his
hate,
And returned to their homes by another
way. st. Nicholas.

neither morally wrong nor unjust to the bond

question of Civil Service reform he is silent,

EDUCATION IN HONDURAS.
Great Demand for American
Teachers--Material Progress of
the Country. H

Six teachers, three ladies and three
gentlemen, will leave New York De-
rember 81, to become Instructors In the
two national colleges for men and wo-
men, to be established by the Govern
ment of Honduras, at Teguciqualpa.
They have been engaged by Don Ro-
derica Toledo, eX- Postmaster General
nf Guatemala, who Was commissioned
by the authorities of Honduras to come
to the United States on postal aud edu-
cational business. These teachers are
the first ef number who will be en-.
gagged in this country for the schools OF
Honduras. English will be the Ian
gusge used in the colleges at Teguci-
q4lpa, and the American system of
education will be adopted. Senor To-
ledo was Instrumental in bringing
American teachers into the schools OF
Guatemala, which he now reports to
be making excellent progress. In
1870, when education WAS uuder the
control of the clergy in that country,
only 5000 children received instruc-
tiOn in Government schcos, while
now 100, 900 are taught. Ths annual
cost Of education is now $500, ,0G0; in
1870, it was only 5000. The eXpul-
sion from the Republic of the 1000
members of monastic orders, and the
con fiscation of their property, aided
materially In the advancement of edu-
cation. Some of the converts and
tDonasteries were magnificent editices,
and are well adapted for college build
ings. The American COllege,in which
are eight American teachers, occupies
the old Convent of the Sacred Heart,
the buildings covering eight acres.
The Normal School, in which, also,
there are American Instructors, finds
ample quarters in the Monastery of
| San Pauline, which covers ten acres
with its buildings and fine gardens.
The material progress OF Guatemala
has been as rapid AS its educational
growth. Improved machinery is be-
| ing introduced in the rich silver mines,
which, even with the rude methods
formerly in use, yielded from 5000
| to $500 a day. Abundant telegraphic
| facilities now exist, while in 1870 there
was not one inch of telegraphic wire
in the country. In Honduras there
are 400 miles of telegraph, and 800
miles more will be put up within a
| month. The products Of the Central
| American st 'tes, Senior Toledo says,
are shipped principally to Great Brit
ain, and he accounts for this largely
from the, fac, ofthe exhOrbitant charg-
| es for freight to this country

Many ladies now emulate Matilda in the

as she did, their own patterns. Turkish tow
