The River Allie.


The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
a day To childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
Tho gladstone current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
fe stars, that measure life to man,
why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath
And life itself ia vapid,
Why, as we near the Falls of Death,
Feel we its tide more rapldf
1t may be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding2
Heaven gives our years OF fading strength
lndemnifying fleetness;
And those of youth II seeming length
Proportioned To their sweetness.
Thomas Campbell.

Four Thousand Arabs kSaid to Have
Been Slain In a Two Hours Fight Near
Zariba.
SUAKIM, March 14.-General Graham has
achieved another decisive victory over the
hordes of Osman Digma. The British troops
remained quietly encamped Wednesday
night about one mile from the camp of the
rebels. About one o'clock yesterday morn
ing the enemy opened fire in the bright
moonlight The British were called up
to repel the expected charge, but no attack
came, and tho men were ordered to lie
down. The fusilade continued all
night but no reply was made by the Brit
ish. At daybreak the men were formed for
the attack. The British forces advanced in
two brigades, which had been thrown into
the form Of squares. A GARDENERS gun and
a ninepouuder were turned against the reb-
els, whs were only thirteen hundred yards
away, and afforded a most excellent target
Colonel Stewards cavalry arrived at $50
o'clock, and took up position Oh the Brit
ish line SO as to turn the enemy. ~
AS the British were advancing, the reb-
els, under cover OF tho smoke which Ell
shrouded the soldiers, crept close up to the
first square on their hands and knees, and,
suddenly rising, dashed against tho bay
and the Black Watch regiments.
They gave and received fearful wounds
and caused great confusion. The
SiSty-ffth began to retreat and crowded
upon the marines. All became inextricsbly
mixed. General Graham and his staff
dashed into the midst Of the lines and did
their utmost to rally the retreating men.
After the British had retired eight hundred
yards the lines were reformed and assist
anee arrived from the other brigade. after
which all went we'll.
In the meantime the rebels made a terri.
bic onslaught on the Second Brigade. They
erawled up to tho lines on their hands and
knees, carrying their long swords in their
teeth. AS soon as they got near enough they
began s~IasLing with their weapons regardless
Of the calling ire Of the British rilenlen. The
British were no match for the rebels at close
quarters, and soon began retreating, but in
tile utmost order. They were unable to
carry Off their Calling and Gardiner guns,
winch We're only recovered after a severe
hight, When the British gained possession of
the rebel camp.
The Arabs fought with the greatest pluck
and most reckless bravado. The battle was
mueh heavier than the engagement at Teb,
and several times it looked AS though the
enemy weuld prove victorious.
Careful estimates OF the losses on the sida
OF the British show that some seventy-6ye
We're Killed and over one hundred wounded.

dead On the field Of battle, and it is almost
POSITIVE that their total death list will agyre-
