BrigandS OutWitied.

FenlmOre Cooper, in his stories
hairbrrdth escapes from Indians,
never hit upon a more extraordinary
device for Guiding pursu than one
which was related TO President Car
not during a recent tour in Corsica.
A French traveller, so the story went,
yentured. some years ago, to pass
Though mountainous district of
Corsia without escort or any means
of protection, and in crossing a par
ticularly rough and craggy region,
found himself pursued by Il band of
brigands.
AS the traveller had some money on
his person, and feared that, besides
being robbed, he would be held in
captivity for ransom, even if he were
not put to death, he took to flight.
Knowing little of the country, he
soon stumbled upon the border of a
lake in the mountains. There was
no path around it, it was impossible
to swim across it, and the brigands
were behind him, though he was
hidden from them as yet by the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done i'm
an instant. Necessity quickened his
wits; he saw at once way out of
the difficulty, and awaited himself of
it..
He hastily cut with his knife one
of the long hollow reeds that grew
on the shore of the lake. Then he
stopped up his ears and nostrils with
clay from the wet margin. took the
reed in his mouth, and waded out
into deep water, where he remained
submerged, with upturned face, just
allowing the upper end of the reed
to project above the surface.
On came the brigands, following
the travellers tracks to the waters
edge, But what had become of him ?
Had he flown acorss i? Certainly he
could not have swan. There was no
other way of escape, and the. surface
had by this time stilled to a perfect
calm.
The brigands remained waiting on
the shore for some time, but no sign
of the traveller appeared. They con.
Guided, at last, that he was sorcerer,
who had caused himself to vanish
into thin air.
Then they disappeared, aud the

Alone With God.

Christian life in our day is full of
activity. 1t finds pleasure in plan
ming, giving, and working for the
growth Of Christ's kingdom. The
spirit of conservation gives joy to all
Christians who recognize it, and in
spires confident hopes in the aggres-
sive movements of the Church. But
it conceals, also, great peril. All
Christian power springs from COM
munion with God, and from the in
dwelling of divine grace. One can
do good to Others only as his own
heart pulsates with love to Jesus, and
has present experience of his love.
We can impart only what we receive.
Any spring will run dry unless fed
from unfailing springs. Any Chris
tian labor will be fruitless, and Chris
tian zeal be like sounding brass, un-
less the soul waits daily upon God
and finds new strength in prayer and
in the study of the Bible.
