" here the New Testament was Revised.

The Jerusalem Chamber in Westmin-
ster Abbey, where the New Testament
company of revisers have held their meet
ings since June 22, 1870, was originally
the parlor of the Abbot's palace, and is
associated with many interesting events
in English history. 1t was to this spot
that Henry ~. was conveyed when
seized with his last sickness, and where
he died March 20, l4l3. 1t was here in
the days Of the Long Parliament that the
celebrated Assembly of Divines, driven
by the cold from Henry Wis chapel,
held It's SIXTY sixth session OH Monday,
October =, lGA3, and continued to meet
until its closing session, (the eleven hun
dred and siXtythird), on February 22,
lGi9. Here were prepared the famous
Westminster Confession of Faith and
the Longer and Shorter Catechisms of
the Presbyterian churches of Scotland,
and for many generations, of the Inde-
pendents of England. Here, also, lust
fifty years later at the suggestion of DIR.
Tillolson, then Dean of Canterbury, the
memorable commission appointed by
William Ill. assembled to devise basis
Tor scheme OF comprehension in a re
vision OF the English prayer book. In
the oblong room, somewhat narrow for
It's length, measuring about 40 feet from
north TO south, and about 20 feet from
east to west, the company have held the
larger number of their sessions, the whole
number being 4O7, the total number Of
attendanccs G,426, and the average at
tendance at each meeting l5S members

ment work ended at p, M, November

During a soree given at the Winter
Palace in ST. Petersburg in the reign of
the Gar Nicholas, some forty years ago,
the conversation happened to turn upon
luXurant growths OF hair; and Cover
nor of distant province remarked that
he had frequently noticed, in the chief
town of bis governmental venerable jew
whose countenance was adorned by Il
beard of extraordinary length and beauty.
GLOW should like to see him. ejacu-
lated a lady, smiling winningly at the
narrator. "Your IIighness' least wishes
are commands replied the Governor;
and that very night he dispatched a
courier to the provincial capital with a
preparatory order that the Hebrew should
be forwarded to him without delay. On
receipt of this command the local au
thorlties at once caused the Hebrew to
be conveyed post-haste to StPetcrsburg.
His protcstations of innocence were ig
nored. When, after travelling for more
than fortnight, he reached his destina-
ton, the police officials, learning from his
escort that he had been sent ththcr at
the express order of the Governor, as
sumed that he must be criminal of the
deepest dye. Accordingly they thrust
him into dungeon, having first caused
his hair to be clipped close and his beard
shaved off, in conformity with prison
regulations by this time several weeks
had elapsed since the conversation above
alluded to had taken place, and the lady's
whim had been forgotten alike by her
self and the Governor. As, therefore.
no questions were asked about the luck
less Hebrew, he remained mrured in
his cell, and might have spent the re
mainder of his days there had not his
relatives, wealthy traders, ,bestirred them
selves to obtain his release. When they
succeeded in directing official attention
to his case, it came out, to the infinite
amusement of the Russian Court, that
his beautiful beard, the motive OF his
martyrdom, had long ceased to exist, land
with it the necessity for his further so
| journ in st. Petersburg He was, there
fore, grimly congratulated upon his
"lucky escape" and solcmnly warned
''never to do it again"

How Afshans Fight.

An English correspondent in Asia, re
forring TO the fighting qualities of the
Afghan soldicry. says. "An Afghan new
cr thinks OF asking for quarter, but
fights with the fcrocity of II tiger, and
clings to life until his eyes glaze and his
hands refuse to pull pistol trigger. or
use a knife in n dying effort to main or
kill an enemy The stern realities of war
were more pronounced on the battlciields
i'll Afghanistan than perhaps they have
ever been in India, if we except the re
tributive days of mutiny. TO spare n
wounded man minute was probably to
cause the death of The next soldier who
unsuspiciously walked past him. One
thing our men certainly learned in AT
ghanistan, aud that was to keep their
wits about them when pursuing an enc
my or passing over u hardwon field
There might be danger lurking in each
seemingly inanimate form studding the
ground, and unless care and caution were
exercised. the wounded Aighans would
steep soul in bliss by killing kaifer just
when life was at its last ebb. The stub
born love for fighting IN ertro,'iS is pro
NOTED doubtless by fanatacism, and we
saw so much of it that our men ut close
quarters always drove their bayoncts
we'll home so that there should be no
mistake in the deadly nature OF the
wound. The physical courage which dis
tinguished the unframed mobs who
fought so resolutcly against us was
worthy OF all admiration; the tcnacty
with which men, badly armed and lack
ing skilled leaders, clung to their posi-
tions was remarkable, to say nothing OF
the sullen doggedness they often showed
when retiring. But when the tide of the
fight set III against them and they saw
further resistance would involve them
deeply, there was so sudden change al
ways apparent that one could scarcely
believe the fugitiyes hurrying over the
| hills were the same men who had resist
ed so desperately but a few minutes be
fore. They acted wisely, us they knew
their powers in scaling hills, or in
making their escape by teetness of foot,
and the host generally dissolved with u
rapidty which no one but an eye witness
can appreciate If cavalry overlook
them. they turned like wolves and
fought with desperation, selling their
lives as dearly as men ever sold, but
there vas no rally in the true sense of
the word, AID but faint attempts at aid
ing each other The regular troops were
| but little amenablc to discipline, by
reason of deficient training, and they re
sorted to the tactics they had pursued as
tribesmen when they were once forced
to retire"

THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.
by LOUISE s. uPHAM.

Tho sunlight over the hilltop steals,
Aud 10 ! from the open door
The farmers red-cheeked daughter looks
The fields and meadows ocr
The sleeves, from her rounded arms turned
back,
lust hint that labor waits
While she exults 10 Joys that break
Through mornings rosy gates.
There's little strengthen the 1.-the young form,
But an ever ready hand
OFT llghtens the burdens that must be borne
By the farmers toillng band
so the farm-horsc waiting In the STALL
The Kline in the dewy lane,
And the locks impatient in the fold,
own the gentle naid1n's reign.
Dors she e'er dream Of world outside
OF her simple rural home,
Or OF broader walks and smoother paths
That her feet sometimes may roam?
90 lOok In the chamber where she works
Each eve tn the IL goes down;
You viii md that her nmblc hand ilcw fast
O'er the folds of q wedding gown.
Now She watches the east with throbbing
heart,
For her lover VIII come that way;
And every sunrise hastcns the morn
OF her own sweet wcddlng-day;
Ana there's never home more bright than
the one
Where a trusting maiden dwclls
Who Is waiting the coming OF Loves young
knight,
And the chime of their wedding bells
hut what Will be done at the dear old farm
When the light OF the ilrcside goes?
When the morn that brl yhtcns another home.
U'cr this one q shadow throws?
All never VIII days be quite so fair,
tOrtrouble VIII more like sorrow seem,
And labor more like care.

A Spiders Feat.

If you anchor pole in body of
water, leaving the pole above the sur
face, and put spider upon it, he will
exhibit mavelous Intelligence by his plans
to escape. At first he will spin web
several inches long and hang to one end
while he allows the other to float off in
the wind in the hope that it will strike
some object. OF course this plan proves
a failure, but the spioer is not dis
couraged. He waits until the wind
changes, and then sends another silken
bridge floating off in another direction.
Another failure is followed by several
other similar attempts. until all the points
Of the compass have been tried But
neither the resources nor the reasoning
powers of the spider are exhausted He
climbs TO the top OF the pole and ener-
getlcally goes to work to construct n
silken balloon, He has no hot air with
which to initiate ii, but he has the power
of making it buoyant, When he gets
his balloon finished. he does not 90 off
on the mere supposition that it will carry
him, as men often dc, but he fastens to
it guyrope, the other end of which he
attaches to the island pole upon which
he is prisoner He then gets into his
aerial vehicle while it is made fast and
tests it to see whether its dimensions are
capable of the work of bearing him away.
He often finds he has made it too small,
in which case he hauls it down, takes il
all apart and constructs it on a larger
aud better plan. A spider has been seen
to make three different balloons before
he became satisfied with his experiment,
Then he will get in, snap the guyropc
and sail away to land as gracefully aud
as supremely independent of his sur
roundings as could well be imagined

When the thistle is blooming, or about
TO do so, is the time when the greatest
injury can be inflicted upon ii. But with
the Canada thistle, once cutting, while it
greatly weakens, will by no means kill
ii, and there is no time at which it can
be destroyed at a single cutting. The
only proper way with this and similar
plants is TO cut the shoots that first ap-
pear, and continue as long as there is
anything TO cut. That continued and
persistent cutting will conquer the Can
ada thistle, and that even worse weed,
the horse nettle (solanum carolinense,)
we have positive knowledge, but no half
way work will preyail,-An,ericon 1g-
