The Pikeman and His Weapon.

The pikeman was covered with de.
fensive armor, an iron headpiece, iron
"back and breast" and classes, :" a kind
Of iron apron protecting him from waist
to knee. He carried a pike Is feet long,
with an ashen shaft, an iron head and a
blunt iron spike at the butt end, where
by to fix it in the ground, and besides
the pike a rapier.
The pike, from its great length, was
a weapon which required def handling
in order to be Of effective use, and, as
may be imagined, was excessively snowy
on parade. The modern lance exercise
is a pretty sight enough, but the old
pike exercise, perfectly executed by a
large body Of men, must have been su-
perb. We are not surprised, therefore, to
find that the pOstures or instructions for
this exercise are ~extravagantly minute.
10 give IL example, at the close of
the instruction, on the word "Order
your pixies, we find after a mass of
complicated details the following con-
clusion: You place the butt end of
your pike by the outside of your right
foot, your right hand holding it even
with your eye and your thumb right up;
then, your left arm being set akimbo by
your side, you shall stand with a full
body in a comedy posture. "-Macmil-

kIRkSTAlL ABBEY.
Brief History of an Edifce That Is Famou
In England,

In England.
Magnificent in its decay and a sAmdy
alike in its mass and its details, Kirk
stall abbey was founded for the Cister-
clan order by Henry de Laci in 1859.
It's founder had the rare felicity of see
ing the work completed.
With his own hands he began the edi-
fee, and he gave unstinted aid in its
construction and in the promotion of it's
religious work, and he did not rest con-
tent until he saw on the meadow land
selected for the purpose a thoroughly
we'll organized monastic establishment.
The abbey proper, as seen today, is
but out Of a series of buildings
erected as a compact and Intervening
| whole. 1t was the opinion of Sir Gilbert
Scott that all the essential features OK
the combined structure-the church,
the chapter house, the cloisters, the re.
fectory, the dormitory and other build.
ings, whose foundations at least mag
still be traced, were the work of one and
the same period and the same men,
struck, as it were, from a single die.
Of no other important ecclesiastical
editice Of the Norman or early English
period can as much be said. The abbey
became the mausoleum of it's founder.
In it he and his son were given sepul-
ture. For nearly four centuries the work
of the abbey was conducted with more
Or less influence.
Some of its heads made their power
felt in parliament, and the line of their
succession had run to the twenty-ninth
abbot when the dissolution changed the
character and fortunes of the place. The
monastery and the estate around it were
then granted by Henry VIII to Arch
bishop Cranmer and his heirs in ex-
change for other possessions.
The grant was confirmed by Edward
VI, but in Elizabeth's time the property
had in some way reverted back to the
crown. 1t next passed to private owners
and was secured eventually by the Sa-
villes of HOwley Hall, from whom it
was transferred by marriage to the
Cardigans.
In the hands of the Cardigans it re-
manned until 1889, when 1.-The unexpect-
ed' happened, and the abbey, with it's
grounds, was purchased by Colonel J. T.
North at the price of about $55, 900, |
and by him handed over as a gift to
Leeds, his native town. Kirkstall abbey |
is about three miles from Briggate and
is within the borough. - Cassell's

The camp is hushed, the fires burn low.
Like ghosts the sentries come and go.
Now seen. now lost upon the height
A keen drawn saber glimmers white.
Swiftly the midnight steals away
ReposeZ-vous, bon chevaliers.
P~erchance into your dreams shall come
Visions Of love or thoughts of home.
The furtive night wind hurrying by
Shall kiss away the half breathed sigh
And softly whispering seem to say
ReposeZ-vous, bon chevaliers.
Through starIit dusk and shimmering dew

By what sweet wayward name she goes?
Wrapped in white arms till break of day,
