prayer" that they applauded vigorously.
Gen. Martin made short address, in
which he referred to the Democracy as
having met in convention twenty days

Moses to lead them out of the wilderness
of defeat, when they picked out the same
old Moses who led them to defeat two

The Relief in Immortality.

The belief in immortality is prehistoric
and is perpetual, and it will exist so long
as men knoW with an invisible and feel
with visible set Of facultes-two sets
perfectly distinguishable by young and
old, wise and foolish alike. The idea
generates itself 10 each individual; it is
reinforced by alien testimony; it is
formulated and illustrated 10 various
ways by traditions and instructions; but
it is the plain outgrowth Of personal
experience, and is consequently q
universal property of mankind. i
needs no sanction from the Scripture.
1t borrows nothing from logic 1t is in no
sense dependent for it's origin on moral
ideas of right and wrong, reward and
punishment. 1t is vague and fruitless
among the ignorant and debased but
can become and does become most
brilliant and fruitful of all ideas for the
wise aud good. 1t is capable of culti-
vatiop, and it should be cultivated -

A DAY IN JUNE.

A wee and dainty maiden walked demurely at
my side,
With hand clasped close within my own, and
blue eyes open wide;
The sweet June skies were not more fair than
was her winSome face
AS breaking from my grasp she sped, with free
and childish gr ce
Adown q worn and grassy path, which from the
village led,
Through fields where nodding daisies bloomed,
and clovers, white and red.
The air was sweet with odors rare, the birds
sang to the breeze
The butterflies in gay attire, the sober coated
bees
Were futtering here and slipping there on busy
joyful wing,
AS if holiday in June were just the rarest
thing!
And hither, thither in and out my little
maiden flew,
With eager heart, and merry shout, and cheek
of wild-rose hue.
The golden-hearted daisies smiled-and kissed
her rosy lips
The blushing clover, nesting close, caressed
her finger tips.
She chatted. filling merrily her little hands
with bloom
When all at once, q silly bee, unmindful Of his
doom,
And all intent on honeyed sweets, serenely set
Upon the pinkest clover there! Then tugging
at my gown,
Two little emf y, trembling hands-and then .
sob Of pain
little heap Of scattered fiowers-and tears,
like summer rain!
He just was going to sting'-she said-"I
heard him buzz his wing
But, as soothed ner fears, l said 1.-THE bees
will never sting
Nor touch-nor trouble any one-unless he in
terfere,
In some annoying, teasing way, with rights
which they hold dear.
No idle aimless play is theirs All through the
golden hour,
They seek and gather winter stores, from out
the sweet cupped A wers."
just then the buzzing, laundering bee, with
want Of tact and grace,
Unworthy of his own beekind, flew right into
my facet
His movement seemed to contradict the lesson
of the hour
Till Mamma dear" she laughing cried, 'he
thought you were a fiowerw
light as Of the dawning skies, shone from her
earnest eyes
Before which fed, in sore dismay, all logic deep
and wisel
Quaint loving gentle childish speech-that
made it all so plain
From out the silence Of the years, comes back
the sweet refrain!
The scented ield-the song OF bird-the
maiden's matchless grace
Have left picture on my mind which time can
neer eface
And Ger me steals the sweet soft breath of
Lies rich fragrant noon
Too early faded into night-lke that dear day

Grim, Armed to the Teeth and Always
Ready to Fight.
The people of Canea, as of all Crete,
are not pleasant to look upon. Never
have I seen so many lowering brows
and savage expressions. They never
smile. Now and then one laughs in
sardonic style, as hideous to the ear as
the snarl of an angry wild beast. But
of mirth there is none. The light
heartedness and merriment which char
acterize most southern peoples, even
under oppression, are here unknown.
Every one seems perpetually in bad
humor and in belligerent mood. No
matter whether they are talking of the
weather, or selling cabbages or silk, or
complaining of Turkish despotism, they
are always the same, grim. frowning,
trpculent AS rule they are finely
formed and powerful, straight and
broadshouldered, and no matter what
they are doing or where they are.
their normal condition is to be
armed to the teeth with knives and
pistols, while the walls of their homes
and shops are thickly hung with
swords, spears and rifles, so that the
stranger among them feels as though
he were in an arsenal, where every
lethal weapon needed only look to set
it in deadly action.
1t is easy to see why breaches of the
peace are so frequent among these peo-
pie and why any outbreak is certain to
have CHASTITY results. When they quar-
rel they quarrel in dead earnest Every
blow is meant to kill. They seem de-
void of any of the ordinary compunc-
tions of humanity when once the easy
curb is slipped from their passions. And
considering how largely the nominal
Christians outnumSer the Turks it is
evident that should they once unite to
throw off the Ottoman yoke they could
do so in day. But they do noe unite.
They are as ready to quarrel with each
other as with the Turks, and are so con-
tinually divided into jarring factions as
to make Turkish mastery of them an
easy matter to maintaln.-Canea Cor.
