that it leaned to the east. The

is not substantial enough to hold the
weight of the brick wall. The build

have to be taken down. Water comes
through the east bank so the mortar

HISTORY OF THE DUTCH.
Tho First Settlers of "G'pod Meadow
Island i'm the Rhine.

Tho First Settlers of ''GrIod Meado"
Island in the Rhine.
The first who held possession OF
Dutch soil-not the first who ever had
lived upon it. but the first who had per
sistently enjoyed the climate and busted
themselves with the dykes-were q
branch of the great German race.
Driven by circumstances from their old
home, they had settled upon an empty
island in the river Rhine, which, you
know, after leaving its pleasant south
ern country, struggles through Holland
in a bewildered search for the sea-
This island they called Betauw, or
s'Great Meadow" and so, in time, them
selves came to be called Batavi, or Ba-
tavians.
Other portions of the country were
held bv various tribes living upon and
beyond a great tract of land which
afterward, in true Holland style, was
turned into sea. Most of these tribes
were sturdy and brave, but the Batavii
were drawer than any. Fierce, stanch,
and defiant, they taught even their
little children only the law of might;
and their children grew up to be might
| Ter than they. The blessed Teacher
had not yet brought the world His les
son of mercy and love. Conquer one
another" had stronger claims to their
consideration than Love one another. "
Their votes in council were given by
the clashing of arms; and often their
wives and mothers stood by with shouts
and cries of encouragement wherever
the fight was thickest. "Others go to
battle" said the historian Tacitus,
"these go to war"
Soon the all-conquering Romans,
who, with julius Caesar. at their head,
had trampled surrounding nations into
subsection, discovered that the Batavl1
were not to be vanquished-that their
friendship was worth far more than the
wretched country they inhabited Al
alliance was soon formed, and the
Batavii were declared exempt from the
annual tax or tribute which all other:
were forced to pay to the Romans
Caesar himself was not ashamed to exto
their skill in arms, nor to send thell
already famous warriors to fight hi:
battles and strike terror to the hearts o
mis- foes.
The Batavian cavalry could swim
across wide and deep rivers withou
breaking their ranks, and the infantry
were excelled by none in drill, in arch
cry and wonderful powers of endur
ance. They had fought too long witt
the elements in holding their 'Goo'
Meadow to be dismayed in battle b.
any amount of danger and fatigue.
The Romans called them friends,
: but the Batavians soon discovered tina
they were being used merely as a cats
paw After awhile, as cat's-paws will
they turned and scratched A contest
stubborn and tedious, between tn
Romans and Batavians followed. A
length both parties were glad to max
terms of peace, which prevailed, witt
few interruptions, until the decline o
: the Roman empire.-Mary Mape
