We may stre~ flowers with sadness where you fell,
And cast one longing, loving look behind.
Perhaps behind you will be left the scar,
The scar Of honor and perchauee Of fame,
But this small mark is surely not TO mar,

Where you will lie within your narrow bed,
For there an everlasting rest is found,
Amid the low and c.nsecrated dead.

Note and Comment.


Time.-Between S92 and S84 B. O., dur
ing the reign of Jehoram.
Place.-Samaria, the capital of Israel.
Elisha was at home In Samaria. He
had wrought many miracles Of help during
Jehoram's reign.
Jehoram, the king OF Israel, was the son
of Ahab and bad king; but not so bad
as his father.
Other Rulers.-Jehoram, son of Je-
hoshaphat, king of Judah: Benhadad II,
king OF Syria.
Circumstances.-The peace between Is.
rael and Syria, with which our last regular
lesson closes, was not of long duration. In
a year or two Benhadad came with a great
army and besiged Samaria.
The Famine.-The siege was unexpected
and the city unprepared, so that ere long
the citizens were on the verge of starva-
ton. So severe was the famine that an
ass head was sold as high as so shekels
lS4i), and mothers ate their children.
U Kings 6; 24-33.)
The Trial of Faith.-And yet Elisha's
God, who had wrought so many miracles
through him, did not interfere to save.
How this must have tried even the faith
of Elisha, much more that OF the king and
people. The famine was, no doubt on ac-
count of the sins of the people, and would
continue until it had wrought in them
better and more repentant disposition. at
length the king threatened to kill Elisha;
probably because he had promised help
which had not vet come. Here, again,
Elishas faith was tried. The lesson be-
gins with Elisha's reply to this threat

LONDON, March 23.-Queen Victoria
left Windsor Castle this morning on
route to Grasse, small town in the de-
partment Of the Alpes. Maritimes,

queen goes to the south of France via
Cherbourg and not via Calais and Paris,
as was announced shortly after the ar

miles inland directly north of Cannes.
A delightful extensive view is obtained
from the Grand Hotel, close to which is
the elegant villa Victoria belonging 10

The town of Grasse in itself is not
particularly picturesque. 1t is little
more than pile of crooked little build
ings clinging upon the hillside. In its
neighhorhood are number of distillers,
devoted to the manufacture Of per-
fumes. There are some remarkable
drives in the environs of Grasse, and il
is said that some Of them Will remind

as quite Scotch in general character.

An extra force OF police has been de-
tailed to guard the queens residence
and the streets and roads in and about
Grasse have been swept and repaired
until they are quite passable.
