It was a long and slow battle, but Rob
Beckwith pulled through. A week or
two of convalescence there was for him
after the wasting fever and then he said
to his old friend:
II must go home Sc soon as I can,
Mr.. Massey. You understand that l can
never meet your ward again. 1t would
be a miserable embarrassment. / wish
to save myself and her. How much re.
greet my most abominable folly no words
can say. She can never forgive me, of
course. Once [ thought she loved me.
But that, naturally, must have passed
now. I see, at present, how fallacious
was any hope I could ever have had to
the contrary. Yes, l must go at once"
To this there was no reply. When
the young man looked up he saw that
Mr.. Massey had left the room, But in
his place stood Mignon, with a light in
her ewes such as had shone there when he
kissed her lips under the shadows of the
ruined castle wall.
"Mignon!" he whispered, overcome
by awe, by He presence of a hope too
r~apturous for belief.
Softly she came and knelt beside his
couch.
81 love you, plain Rob Beekwith, my
nineteenth century knight" she said.-

THE D1PPER AND THE SEA.

He held a dipper il his hand,
And bravely did he ply
With all the strength at his command,
To dip the ocean dry.
"And all the ships that sail. !" says he,
"And go from land to land,
On the dry bottom Of the sea
Shall sink into the sand.
"The waves r powerless to resist,
Through me fulfilled shall be
The words of the evangelist,
There shall be no more sea-"
And SO he plies his dipper fast,
And does not cease to try,
As long a strength and life shall last,
To dip the ocean dry.
And like this mailman ven we,
With little dippers try,
To drain the vastness of the sea,
And dip the ocean dry.
The sea of knowledge with its din
Before us breaks, and we,
We thrust our little dippers in,
And think we've drained the sea.
And bound within a narrow creed,
Shut in by walls and towers,
We deem we have no further need
The truth of God is ours.
Then let the endless babblers be,
Who for more wisdom cry,
We've thrust our clippers in the sea
And drained the ocean dry.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Jewish Colo
nization Association, although formed
but few days, has already taken hold
vigorously, and the object of settling the
poor Russian Jews in the United States
is to be pursued as rapidly as possible.
The association has come to the conclu-
sion to send nearly all the Jewish exiles
to the United States, and to secure their
landing by lawful means. The Jews
will be settled as far as possible in agri-
cultural colonies, but it is not expected
that they will confine themselves to the
country. The right to go into any law
full business will be vindicated, if neces-
sary, through legal proceedings. 1t is
claimed that the United States has room
enough for alfth Jews that will emf
CRATE from Russia, and the opportunities
for profitable business are not equaled
in any country. The association will
therefore for the present, confine itself
wholly to sending Russian Jews ITO
America and supporting them there.
