the extraordinary beauty of the intricate
designs which completely covered the in

Each panel had in the centre an agree
able representation of the conventional
figure ofa cypress or tree of life, which we
are in the habit of calling the palm leaf

But this is an error It Is the cypress

swords in their right paws This is but a
feeble description of the graceful and
fertile fancy displayed in this intricate
and lovely system of decoration.
As in all Oriental decoration the in
dividuaIity Of the artist was apparent in a
score of rePctiiiOns; for while repeating
the same general plan in each panel, the
artist allowed himself TO vary the arrange
ment of the color in several places.

Oesgrown with moss aud linchen gray,
Where tasgling brier and creeping vine
Across tie crumbling tablets stray.
The summer sky is softly blue;
The birds still sing the sweet, old strain,
But something from the summer time
Is gone, that will not come again
So msny voices have been bushed,
So many songs have ceased for aye,
So many hands used to touch
Are folded over hearts of clay.
The noisy world recedes from me;
I cease to hear its praise or blame;
The messy marbles echo back
No hollow sound of empty fame.

And gaze with yearning eyes beyond
On fields that shine supremacy fair.

The Southern Baptists.

The 31st session of the Southern
Baptist Convention met at Mont
gomery, Ala, on last Friday. This
convention was organized at Au-
gusta, Ga, in 1866, and has num-
bered amongst its doficers and rep.
resentative members many eminent
divines. There are over 1000, 900
Baptist people in the Southern
States. The Southern Baptist Con.
vention does its executive business
through two boards-the Foreign
Mission Board, which is located
at Richmond, Virginia, and the
Home Mission Board at Atlanta,
Ga. The former received from con-
tributions last year SS1 ,289 80, and
has missions in Europe, Asia, Africa
and in some of the countries of North
and South America. The latter,
last year, received S71,431 IS, and
it's work is devoted to the evangeli-
cation of the spiritually destitute of
all colors in our country. It's prin.
cipal fields of effort are in the Indian
Territory, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tex
as, and Florida.
