THE BURLAL OF MOSES.


The following poem was wiiten by
Mrs Cecil Francis Alexander, wife of the
Bishop of Derry. She is the author OF
Moral Songs, Hymns for Children, and
Poems on Old Testament subjects:
"And be buried him in valley in the
land of Moab, over against Beth-peor, but
no man knoweth of bis sepulchre unto
this day ."--Deut. xxxiy, 0.
By Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In vale in the land Of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave;
But no man dug this sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er,
For the angels of God upturued that sod
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth,
But no man heard the tramping
Or saw the train 60 forth;
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the day is done,
And the crimson streak on ocean q cheek
Crows int the great sun. aaat

And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
So, witt out sound of music. M
Or voice Of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On gray Beth-peor's height,
Out of his rocky eyrie 9aa
Looked OF the wonarous sight;
Perchance the lion, stalking, n
Still shuns the hallowed spot;
That which man knoweth not.
Lo! when the Warrior dietn,
His comrades In the war, ~ q
With arms reversed and mutfied drum,
FOLLOW the Iunerai car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his me- 7terless steed,

Where lights like glories fall,
And the choir singsa the organ rings

That ever breathed word; s

Ayers Hair Vigor

hair to rich brown or deep black, as
may be desired. 1t softens and cleans the
scalp, giving it healthy action, and re-
moves and cures dandruff and humors.
BY its use falling hair is checked, and
new growth will be produced in all cases
where the follicles are not destroyed or
glands decayed. Its effects are beautifully
shown on brashy, weak, or sickly hair,
to which few applications will produce
the gloss and freshness Of youth. Harm,
less and sure in its operation, it is incom-
parable as dressiog and ID especially

was received on the nth: | hear, on the
best authority, that the Pekin authorities
have condemned Chung How, the late
ambassador to Russia, to death. He was
originally suspended on the pretext that
he had returned without imperial per
mission. The six boards and the nine
courts and other judicial bodies at Pekin
were instructed TO inquire into his con-
duct while conducting the mission, and
particularly into the question whether
any part of the 100000 teals, to the
payment of which he pledged the i'm
perial treasury, had found their way in
to his own pocket His stipulations
were recited by the board and held by
them to be unpatriotic and prejudicial
TO the dignity of China.
THE New York Herald, of the nth,
published the following telegram from
its correspondent in China: There are
grave complications between China and
Russia. The Gar will certainly resent
The severe punishment of the envoy. In
deed. it is scarcely possible to exaggerate
the gravity of the situation. A sudden
warlike spirit seems TO have gained pos
session OF the Chinese people. On all
sides there are symptoms of a coming
struggle. before which all the wars of the
empire will fade into insignificance. The
green banner army is being trained in
the principles of European tactics
Their spears and matchlocks are being
replaced by rifles. The bamboo lances
of the cavalry are giving place to the
orthodox sabers of British troopers. A
neral inspection mas been ordered by
the war minister, the accounts of the
war department overhauled, and the de-
lenses of the coast strengthened. A
number of foreign drill-masters have
been brought to Tiertsin, which is the
principal garrison town of the empire.
Preparations are being already made for
calling out the irregular volunteers,
who are only mustered in the gravest
crisis of the state.

Hon. ERAsTUs BROOKS, in his remarks
before the house ways and means COM
mittee, on the 18th inst. on the ques-
ton of removing the duty on imported
Voc pulp used in the manufacture Of
paper, said the rise in the price of pa
per was entirely disproportionate to the
rise in the price Of other commodities,
and was due TO the combination of
western manufacturers. He believed
that the removal of the present duty on
wood pulp would result in a reduction
of at least . cents per pound on print
ing paper, and that unless some action
of this character was taken by congress
there would be no guaranty that paper
might not be forced TO the most extor-
tionate prices.
