MOSES IN THE sOUDAN.

The Soudan is none other than the
Cush of the Bible, which the Septuagint
and the Vulgate render Ethiopia.
When Moses had arrived at mans estate,
Egypt was invaded by an Ethiopian
army, which successfully laid waste the
country as far as Memphis. In their de-
spair the Egyptians prayed to their ora
cles for aid, and the advice they received
was that they should offer the leadership
Of their armies to "Moses, the Hebrew .
This they did. The great difficulty of
the campaign was to traverse the roads
which lead to the Ethiopian camp, in
consequence of their being infested with
dangerous serpents. The willy Israelite
provides his advance guard with num-
ber of ibes in baskets, and instructed the
soldiers to let the birds loose upon upon
the serpents. By this ingenious e1pedi-
ent the roads were speedily cleared, and
Moses was enable to surprise the Ethiop.
ians and defeat them with great slaughter.
Carrying the war into Meroe itself, Moses
then laid siege to the capital, Saba. The
obstinate resistance offered by the de.
Tenders prolonged the siege for some time.
but eventually the city was delivered up
by Tharbis, the daughter Of the Ethiop.

distance, and from admiring his valor.

ends happily with the marriage of Moses
