(BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.

GALLABAT, Dec. IS, 1879.
The Abyssinian chiefs of the army of King
John, which had assembled the Egyptian
frontier, made their way into the Khcdive's
territory on the 11th inst. and succeeded in
levying tribute from his subjects. What King
John claims is a concession of the free access
to the sea which Abyssinia possessed before re-
cent Egyptian encroachments He strongly in
sists on freedom from customs dues between
him and the Egyptian territory. He asks for
free trade in arms and munitions of war, and
o proper delimitation of frontiers But
between his mountains and the coast live
hostile Mussulman tribes. The jealousies of
rival chiefs in the interior have for a time kept
peace on the frontier. Several of these never
acknowledged his title at all, and the rest
still pay him only an intermittent def
erence. Egypt, on her side," says q cor
respondent of the London Times, "has
no longer the slightest desire for territory. She
never really thought of annexing Abyssiria, q
country full of mountains and ravnes, the in
habitants of which are trained to warfare. And
now poverty has driven out all earth-hunger,
and even Massowah would be abandoned if war
were the altcrnativc."]

Honor the dear old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy fakes
on her cheeks; is she not sweet and
beautiful nOwi The lines are thin
and shrunken hut those are the lips
which have kissed many hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they
are the sweetest lips in all the
world. The eye is dim, yet it CLOVIS
with the soft radiance Of holy love
which can never fade. Ah, yes, she
is dear old mother. The sands Of
life are nearly run out, but feeble -
she is, she will 60 farther and reach
down lower for you than any other
upon earth. You can not walk into
a midnight where she can not see you;
yon can not enter a prison whose
bars can keep her out; You can new
er mount a scaffold too high for her
to reach that she may kiss and bleas
YOU in evidence of her deathlees
love. When the world shall forsako
and despise You, when it leaves you
by the wayside TO die unnotioed, the
dear old mother will gather you in
her feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues nm.
ill you almost forget that your soul
is disfigured by vices. Love her
tenderly and cheer her declining
years with holy devotion.

OVER TINE BARS.

Twas milking time, aud the cows came up
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty Jane
Had a quiet chat with the drorer-
Such quiet chat that 1t scarcely seemed
That a single word was sPoken;
While magic spell with night dews fell,
And the rhyme Of song was spoken.
The cattle stood at the lovers side,
Without any show Of vexation,
As though impressed that fvr-bar rest
Was part Of their rest -oration.
Aud a. Jane listened To the notes that came
Right under the bars aud over,
Her heart took wing, the silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him say his home was poor,
That he'd nothing but love to give her;
And she smiled content, as though love had
spent
Every arrow he had in his culver;
And she smiled content, when'the evening
air
With voices of birds are ringing,
And her Inns confessed that lowly meet
Should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean,
In the joy of their sweet commnnion;.
And their looks declared that poverty ne'er
Shall be bar to their union;
o, sweetest music, 60 thread your rhymes,
Now under the bars aud over!
Where pretty Jane, in the fragrant lane,
Bewitcbed the heart Of the drover
