The, few clearin9s had been devastated
BY Arab slave s~tealers +; there was
nothing to eat but wild fruit, fungi,
and q large bran.shaped nut" a diet
barely sufficient tor monkeys; the
water must have been horrible, though
no lack of it is mentioned; the men
dropped daily from exhaustion or
sickness, more then two hundred died
or deserted, and the remainder be-
cume so mutinous, that twice Stanley
was compelled, in order to save them
and himself, to enforce capital sem
fences; and still the indomitable
leader, confident in his knowledge
and himself, tramped steadily On.
That awful march, hardly equalled,
we believe, 10 its circumstances Of
horror since the world began, lasted
more than fUe months, during which
Henry Stanley and his white l%ieuten-
ants, protected only by their SUPERB
GRITTY of race and b~rain-oower, 'drag-
ged"-it is his own word--the Negro
followers along, until at last, on No
vember 18th, after a hundred and
sixty days Of hunger and misery,
during which the white chief never
lost his hope, OF changed his tone, or
ceased to promise that he would reach
the Lake, the survivors of the march,
some hundred and fifty skeletons,
emerged on a rich grass plain full of
cattle and comfort, and began again
70 grow lat. The very hearts Of the Ne
groes changed, and they who, under
the perpetual gloom of the forest and
worn by hunger, had been "abject
sIayish creatures" robbed with impu-
nifty by all the Arabs they met, were
again ready for battle, and danced in
the grass with their burdens, in pure
joy at once more beholding an Ordina-
ry world. There were still dangers
"a be surmounted, for the villagers
they met, all belonging, Stanley thinks
to broken fragments of tribes from
the Kingdom of Unyoro, disbeIieved
"that good men could come from the
West"-a singular and suggestive
trhdition-but on December 18th,
amidst continuous fighting, they saw
The Albert Nyanza, and deemed their
troubles at an end. They were, how
ever, tar from ended. .Emin Pasha

PEELED to march back 10 Ibwiri, eleven
days into the forest, and then once
again to betnke himself to the shore
Of the Nypnza, the retreat and the
second advance consuming five more
months yet, on which he does not
dwell. but WHICH must have been
months of terrible exertion, made
more ~exhausting by disappointment
and the sense of, partial failure. At
last ON April 29th, 1888, after nearly
eleven months, of such exertion as few
even of African explorers have surviv-
ed, Stanley, with only a fourth of his
force remaining, and no. stores, met
Emin Pasha-who had descended in
n steaner-only to find that the chief
he meant to relieve had decided to re-
main. Within a week, he set out on his
return, intending. 10. fetch stores for

of some route by which he mig ut

Nyanza, the worst horrors of uthat
endless forest. He has, it is known,
some plan of action, though it is
buried in his own mind ; Emin Pasha
has most of the necessary means afor

hope yet to see Stanley emerge full
of knowledge, and with energy .pn~

rer in the world. .n .s.
It is just possible that his reap

dramatic kind. The letters. have

who might capture them but it is
most probable, in spite Of Thursdays
rulnours, that Emin Pashan intended
to stay and continue TO rule bis
dominions. Indeed, that remarkable
parsonage, the most unique figure
even among the ads enturersyi who
have from time to time attained
power in Africa or Asia, has, hardly
a motive for returning. Originally
a German Jew devoted to science
and investigation, he has become in
reality an independent Sovereign,
and having turned Mussulman, he
rules the great region entrusted to
him with absolute Authority. His
thirteen hundred black regulars
have settled and married in the lard,
and will never, he says, return to
Egypt by their own consent. He
himself lives like an ASiatic, which
no doIbt by blood he is aud he has
formed a Negro army so we'll dis
ciplined that it has defeated even
the fanatic soldiers sent from Khar-
toum. He has herds of cattle and
focks Of sheep, his supplies Of grain
are more than ample, md he is acr
c%umulaling a stock of ivory which,
if the road TO the nOrthward eve
opens, may bring him great wealth,
in the European sense. He is,. in
truth, an African Sovereign, and as
his authority consolidat"s itself, and
hat of the Mahdi dies away under
the blows it is sustaining from the
westward, he may hope TO stretch
his dominion from the Albert N yam

will never desert his followers, and
that if he leaves his Kingdom, he
will carry with him eight thousand

THE ANT AND THE BEETLE.

One day while the ant was rolling II
grain Of corn over the ground bee
tie happened along and inquired:
Ny industrious friend, why all this
laborT'
II am working to get this grain OF
corn into my store-house for the win

But how foolish TO work so hard
for it, You don't see ne sweating un-
der the collar, and yet ! get along as
well as most insects"
"Yes, you are all right now because
il is summer, but wait until winter
comes on. II you are idle now you
will perish then"
Thanks, my dear aunt but don't
worry over the undersigned. Call on
me about the middle Of January"
Time passed on. The ant worked
industriousIy to lay by store, and
as the winter come on and she was
congratulating herself Oh her fore
sight and prudence, the beetle came
that way. He was fat and sleek and
in fine spirits, and he halted TO say:
Morning, old economy. How goes
itf''

for winter" replied the ant, while
you"
While / am located in the Cover

But how is that"
Simply that work with my mouth,

Three Good s ables.

THR DONKEY AND THE TRAVELLER.
A belated traveller on the kings
highway was made terribly anxious
at certain spot by fearful sounds.
He went forward very timidly, ready
to fly for his life at any moment, but
all OF a sudden discovered that the
dreaded sounds has been uttered by
q donkey.
See here, you miserable beast,
what are you trying to get at, any
howy' demanded the traveller.
why, it is case OF self-sacrifice," "
replied the donkey. Instead OF stand
ing in my stall | come out and brave
the inclement weather TO cheer the
belated traveller with my voice and
let him know that friends are near"
You old dunder. head, but IL Is
your voice which adds terror TO the
mud and darkness! Go hence and let
up"
MORAL: The blunders Of friends are
more to be dreaded than the machina-
tions OF enemies.

HERCULES AND THE wooDsMAN.

1t is related that Hercules was pass
ing through forest one day when he
came upon IA woodsman who was idle
and inquired:
Have you amassed wealth until
you no longer have To work.
Nay, my friend, was the answer;
but this log needs moving, and !
have not the strength to accomplish
the task.
30, as to that, III lend you hand, -"
cheerfully replied Hercules, and he
seized the log and moved ii into the
position desired.
Returning over the same course a
week later, he found the same wood
man again idle, and to his inquiries
the man replied:
II was waiting for you to return
and move another log for me-"
MORAL: He who helps the man who
can help himself does him an injury.

BE STILL, AND WAIT.

BE STILL, AND WAIT.
Be still, and wait,
And bear thy fate
II fthou art poor or desolate-
AS patiently
AS IL may be,
TIL better fortune comes TO thee.
Though black the night,
No star In sight,
There surely comes the morning light;
SO DER the sky
OF midnight dye
The sun will shine out bye and bye.
Be still, and wait,
Nor frown at fate,
Be thy misfortune small or great;
For thou shouldst know
That Joy and woe
Have, like the tides, their ebb and flow.
The fret and strain
Ofheart and brain
Increase the gloom, augment the pain;
But hours OF calm
Like hallowed psalm
To aching wounds will furnish balm.
Though many bliss
Thou'rt doomed TO miss
In such a changing world as this,
Thy fears abate:
Be still, and wait.
For Joy will find the-soon or late.
