Making Love In the Choir.
From Puck.

Bhe sat on the steps Of the organ loft
just after the second hymn;
And through nave nnu choir to the cool gray spii
The sound rose fatnt and dim
As they settled themselves in the church below
For the sermon that followed next,
And seated myself at the altos side
As the parsor took his text
marked the tender flush Of her cheek,
And the CLEAN of her golden hair,
The snowy kcrchef round her neck,
And her throat all white and bare
throat so white that indeed II might
An anchOrite entlce,
And family heard the parsons word
As he preached OF Paradise.
Ny arm stole gently around her waist
Until our fingers met:
And fitting blush made the te nd or fush
Of her cheek grow deeper vet.
Snowy and fair the hani beneath,
And brown the palm above
And the brown closed softly over the whits
As the parson spoke of love.
Ah, who is wise, when deep blue ewes
Meet his and look coyly DOWN.
Who would but drink. nor care to think
Ot envy's jealous frownt
Twas but TO bend till felt her breath
Grow warm on my cheek, and then
NY lips Just softly touched her own

EGYPT.

The war spirit of the Arabs and
Levantines in Egypt has finally
dubbed over. 1t broke forth, il
seems, as the moving power of
mob, and the objects of its special
enmity were the blood and property
of Europeans. Several of the Euro
pean consulS at Alexandria came in
for wounds, abuse and insult, while
some persons were murdered out
right, among them the engineer of
a British man-of- war. Sunday will
prove a sorry day for Egypt, if not
for Turkey generally Such powers
as France and England do not per-
NIT their representatives abroad to
be killed or maItreated with impur-
ity. They frequently make such
outbreaks as the one told about in
our columns this morning the ex-
cuse for completely crippling the
power Of the state authority
and fixing up governments to
suit themselves. 1t so happens
that in this instance those guilty of
the Outrages were a Iawless mob
acting without the sanction or
authority ofany of the many parties
claiming official functions in Egypt.
This circumstance may deter the
great powers from inficting the
punishment that would otherwise
follow, but it may be set down as a
certainty that Egypt viii pay
dearly for the riotous and bloody
work,
Egypt is undergoing a terrible Or
deal. The strained condition of If
fairs there, of which the cable has
been bringing as the news for
weeks past, is a point to which the
country has been tending for thirty
years. When the international
commission on the Suez Canal
question met in Paris in 1866, the
engineering and geographical diff
fculties were ,easily settled by the
European delegates, but political
questions arose which were
not so readily disposed of.
England had doubts as to the bene-
fits from the proposed canal. She
realized that it would vastly in
crease her colonial trade, but saw
danger from an exposure of India
to a naval invasion ola the canal.
However, her objections were
waived and the canal was con-
structed. It was in the execution
Of that gigantic work that Egypt
became burdened with the debt that
made her the debtor slave to Eng
land and France, (which find in their
mortgages the sole excuse for inter
ference in the present crisis. Eng- |
land has from the first exercised |
a dominating influence in the canal, |
and therefore on the failure of |
Egypt. She has done this in def |
anee to the. silent but well under
stood protests Of7the ether powers,
all Of which are jealous of British |
influence in the east. An authority |
on the subject says is is to the in
ternal difficulties of Egypt that we
have to turn to find one of the chief |
causes of the present crisis.
In 1867, before the canal YVES con-
structed, u. de St Hilaire wrote; "Tba

the number cured, it has been calcu-
lated that quite as many are In tho
course of the season sold as what are
called +" fresh behring's" the wholesale
buyers being now enabled by means OF
the railways to dispatch large supplies
to the great seats of population the mo-
ment they are caught, and to have them
in market almost before their sea bloom
has begun to fade. If these fish be esti-
mated as being of the value of only one
half-penny each, they would yield total
sum of over three millions sterling. In
reality they yield far larger amount.
the barrels of cured fish in some seasons
bringing as much as from twenty-eight
to nifty shillings, and charge of three
half-pence, and sometimes of two-pence,
for single fresh herring in our large
cities, as all householders know, is not
at all uncommon.
But it has also been estimated that
the number of behring's taken from the
sea by the fishermen, miraculous as the
draughtS sometimes prove to be--and
L myself have personally assisted
in drawing a trail of nets that
brought at one haul to the
boat over sixty barrels-are but as
drop in the ocean as compared to the
destruction caused by other agencies.
The dOgfish prey extensively upon the
shoals. and the chief food of the Goldfish
is also the herring. Aquatic birds Of
many kinds likewise feed upon these
fish, and interesting estimates have
been made of the quantities annually sup
posed to be devoured. If it be taken for
granted that every Goldfish having &C
cess to the herring shoal eats only five
of these fish per diem, it will at once be
obvious that the number which is con-
sumed will be something enormous.
Taking it for granted that only five
millions of cod, ling, and hake, in all
are to be found in our northern seas,
they will consume twenty-five millions
OF herrings every day. The aquatic
birds, and some of the fishes which in
habit the deep seas other than those of
the Gdotidg family, will require for
their food as many more; so that in
reality the hand of man should scarcely
be felt upon the shoals, and yet it has
been ably argued, and indeed proved,
that in some districts the supply of these
fish has fallen off because man has
''overfished'' them! The grounds of this
argument are plain enough when it is
stated that although the net power now
employed liz the herring fishery is about
triple, or even quadruple, and the num-
Der of boats double, what they were
some sixty years since, the take of
herringS has not been proportionately

Caught by Themselves.

There is a slang phrase now current
which APPLY expresses the fatality at
tending the testimony of criminals in
court. They are almost sure TO "give
themselves away" that is, to really
convict thems elves while they are try
| ing to prove their innocence. In a
court in Paris recently, two cobblers
were charged with stealing fifteen francs
from their master till. The men mad
| asked for some money from their en-
ployer, but he had refused and had gone
off for the day with his family. So they
I stole the fifteen francs and themselves
started Off for a holiday.
Where did you spend your holi-
! day?' asked the Police Justice.
1--WE took no holiday. We worked
as usual" said the first cobbler.
"Come, that won do. The facts are
all against you, although, to be sure, no
one saw you take the money from the
bag" said the Police Justice.
1T wasn't bag; it was q pine box.
Ahn' Ito the other cobbler) what are
you trampling on my feet for?" said the
second cobbler.
"How do you know it was a pine
boX?" asked the Justice.
"Why, I've seen the master take mon
ey from it more than two hundred
times" answered the second cobbler.
:" only brought it home the night be-
fore. L had always used an iron box.
So he couldn't have seen this two hun
dred times" said the master.
"Well, when 1 said two hundred,
perhaps l stretched it little. l saw il
at least once that day." said the second
cobbler.
"What day?" asked the Justice.
"Why, the day that we took the fif-
teen-Oh, stop trampling on my feetr'
said the second cobbler.
so you acknowledge taking the fif-
teen francs" said the Justice.
He means the fifteen pairs of slip
pers we made that day." said the first
cobbler.
so you worked all day?" said the
Justice.
"Yes, except that towards evening
we were tired and went out to Mont
martre and took SUPPER" said the first
cobbler.
But you told your master you had
no money. How did you 90 without
money!" asked the Justice.
1--WE borrowed three francs" said the
first cobbler.
"Yes, and when we were arrested.
they found no money in our pockets.
If we had taken the fifteen francs.
there would have been some left, for we
only spent seven francs" said the Sec
ond cobbler.
eff you only borrowed three. how
did you spend seven?" asked the JUS
tice.
I'VE got credit" answered the first
cobbler.
Yes, we got credit for nine francs"
said the second cobbler.
Il think you've satisfied us of your
guilt. That will do. You shall have a
sentence of four months" concluded the
Justice. YOUTHS Companion

A Herring Census.

1t IS happily an easy task to give a
tolsrably correct idea of the wonderful
abundance of the herring. BY means
OF the Scottish Fishery Board, an ac-
count is kept and annually published of
the quantities of these fish which are
cured for sale. 1t NAV be set down
here, for the purpose of easy calcutta
ton, that one million barrels of herring
are being cured every year in Scotland
Tor the home and foreign markets, and
That each barrel contains eight hundred
