It is dific cult to get any very clear under
standing of what ia going on in the Pamir-'
the roof Of the world" as the highlands that
separate the British domiAions, Russia, and
China in North East Central Asia are called
but we suspect that the aggression, if there is
any, is rather directed towards China than
india. The Times correspondent in st. Pc
tersburg, telegraphing IN Tuesday, declares
that, '.in view of the possibility of complications
arising between Russia and China in connection
with the alleged infringement of the Chinese
frontier by Russian expeditions, the Military
Governor of the Siberian Transbaikal Province
has ordered the removal Of all Jews residing
within a distance of 100 kilometres of the Chi.
nese frontier, in order TO prevent their being
employed as spies by the Chinese" The
families of exiled Jews who have taken up their
residence with the exiles in Siberia will, it is
said, be sent back to the districts of the Empire
'especiallyassigned to Jews for their perman-
ent and obligatory residence" If this is true,
it looks as if Russia were intending to open the
Chinese question. The distractions now
reigning at Pekin may make her think the pre-
sent moment favourable opportunity for strik-
ing a blow-SpectatOr, Oct. "a.

Give sway To memOrv's power.
Long year have p issed since last he viewed
His native heath aHi hill,
And silence n"w with shadowy brood
Makes nature wieIdly still
There stands the homestead OF his youtn.
And clustering round It's door
Come visions bright .f love and truth
From memorys endless store.
He sees again his fathers form
Within the doorway stand.
His thin locks whitened BY the storm,
by passing breezes famed;
Mother and sisters, brothcrs. there
Resume their wnnied place.
And lost while in scenes 20 fair
He sees each loving face
But wakened from his blissful dream
The past returns no more;
Alone he stands. while sunsets CLEAN
Casts shadows on the door.
Deserted now its windows blank
Stare at the passer by,
And weeds. and Kras~es stale and rank,
In wind-swept chaos lie.
Nc more from pastures green, AZ night,
To hrm-,ard come The ne.

The h',dcs Of night around him fall
And all Il desolate.

He hears the muunuring OF the brook
Which onward seeks the plain;
His old New England hi side home,
