for an antelope may chance to rouse a
lion | But all this is idle talk-he dares
not r.
"He dares not" echoed three or four
of the others, with a disdainful laugh /:
and the feast began.
Long and merry did they revel but
just rs their mirth was at its height a
shrill wistle, sharp and ominous as the
scream of vulture, pierced the still
night air. Instantly the hangings of
the colonnade fell, and from behind the
pillars, with flash and roar like the
outburst of a thunderstorm, a deadly
volley of musketry came crashing
among the revelers.
In moment all was confusion. The
betrayed Mamelukes sprang TO their
feet and grasped their swords and dag
gers; but what could these avail against
the merciless bullets that hailed upon
them without ceasing? Down they
went, man on man, and among the
first that fell was poor old IIassan,
whose gloomy prophecy was but too
truly fulfilled
Yet even in this deadly peril, the
brave young Said did not lose his pres
ence of mind At the first alarm he
had sprung TO his horse and united it,
but the outer gate was shut. There
was only one chance left. As the howl
ing murdcrers closed in To finish their
work, Said spurred his horse and darted
like an arrow through the doorway
leading from the colonnadc to the ram
part that oyerhung the prccipicc,
An eXulting yell broke from his
enemies "A they rushed after him,
that now they had him fast,
hemmcd in As he was between their
leyclcd weapons and the fearful gulf
beyond But they little knew Said,
the Mamclukc. One defiant shout, one
headlong bound forward into the empty
air, and the horse and man vanished
INTO the fathomlcss depths of blackncss
below.
Even the savage soldiers turned
away in horror from the sight Of that
desperate leap, little dreaming that
heir prey had escaped them after all
ct 50 il was. The horse was killed,
,ut the daring rider escaped with a
broken limb to die long years after in
! distant land, upon a far noblcr battle

like these plants that you call weeds
Sedge, hardhack, MULLEN, yarrow--
That knit their roots and sift their seeds
Where any grassy wheel-track leads
Through country by-ways narrow.
They fringe the ragged hillside farms,
Grown old with cultivation,
With such wild wealth of rustic charms
As bloomed in Natures matron arms
The first days of creation.
They show how Mother Earth loves best
To deck her tired-out places;
BY flowery lips, in hours of rest,
Against hard work she will protest
With homely airs and graces.
You plow the arbutus from her hills,
Hew down her mountain laurel;
Their place, as best she can, she fills
With humber blossoms so she wills
To close with you her quarrel.
She yielded to your AZ with pain
Her free, primeyal glory;
She brought you drops of golden grain
You say : How dull she grows how
plain !"
You old, mean, selfish story.
Her wildwood soil you may subdue,
Tortured by hoe and harrow;
But leave her for year or two,
And see she stands and laughs at you
With hardhack, mullen, yarrow
Dear Earth. the world is hard ts please
Yet Heavens breath gently passes
Into the life of flowers like these,
And lie down at blessed ease
Among the weeds and grasses.

It seems to be forgot ten that the question of mediation was put to the French foreign secretary on the eve of the opening of hostilities in Anam and was instantly refused discussion. The media ton of Russia was suggested to M. Challemel Lacour instead of England, the relations be- tween the British foreign office and the French minister being at that time rather strained, and this led to semi official declar- ation that no mediation whatever between France and China could possibly be accept ed by the French government.

Tenth Anniversary of Dr. Hawes' Pastor
 ate.
 Rev. Dr. Hawes at the morning service of the North church preached from the text in I, Peter iv. Il, eff any man speaketh, speak ing as it were oracles of God if any minis tereth ministering as of the strength which God supplieth that in all things God may be glorifed through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen" The supply of our need by our bene- ficent creator, said the speaker, is according to our capability. Different gifts are afford ed suited to each ones place and lot In life The duty of submission to God and fulfilling his designs was very clearly stated. Our best open-eyed service is due to God and our fellow-men. The pastor reviewed his own work with this church for the last ten years At the opening of his sermon he very feeling ingly alluded to this day as the tenth anniversary of his pastorate. He reviewed Gods dealings to the church and to him for so many years, expressing his gratitude for so kind and helpful an experience. He gave the statistics of Congregational pastorates of late years. So changed from former times, he said, that itineracy had almost become the rule of our Congregational order. The prayers anthems and hymns were appropri- ate to the subject of the hour. The congre- gatien lent the closest attention through all the interesting service.
 The altar front, artistically decked with green foliage ferns and flowers on the table arranged so as to cover the marble top with trailing vines dropping over the side, was an attractive and pleasant sight to all attend ing the services of the day. Vases of bright autumn blossoms stood at each end of the covered table, while cross of varied white and purple flock and violets with ferns formed the center piece. A few small sunfowers looked brightly out from the deep green covering of the table as eyes to the whole.
