A Military DespotIsm.

The condition Of Egypt at the time
seeks in vain a parallel in history.
Saladin had followed a tradition or
eastern despotism in the formation OF a
bodyguard destitute Of all ties except
those which bound them to his person.
Purchased as infants in Georgia or
Circassia, they were, like the janizarieS
at Constantinople, trained TO arms as
an exclusive profession, and mTlnted
on the finest steeds of Arabia became
the elite Of his army. In time this body
of acute and powerful men transformed
itself into a warrior caste, was divided
into "a companies and obeyed no au-
thority except that of its captains.
These were known in oriental phrase as
beys. the subordinates were themselves
what we call the Mamelukes, and the
whole formed a kind of chivalry which
governed the land with despotic power.

suzerainty OF the sultan babe defiance

ny; the second called on the populace to
aid their liberators. I'VE, too, are true
Mussulmans. Is II not we who have
destroyed the pope that said war must
be made on the Mussulmans? Is 1t not
we who have destroyed the Knights OF
Malta because those insensate cheval-
iers believed God wanted them TO make
war on Mussulmans? Thrice happy
they who are on our side! They shall
prosper in their fortune and in their
place. Happy those who are neutral.
They shall have time to understand US
and shall array themselves with us.
But woe-thrice woe-to those who
shall take up arms for the Mamelukes
and fight against u.s. There shall be no
hope left for them. They shall perish. ="

From a Christian Exchange.

The country has already heard much
Of the recent gathering on Memorial
Day in Chicago for the purpose Of ded-
icating a monument to the fallen SOL
diers of the south. 1t makes us blush
to think that some OF our northern
friends have taken occasion to speak in
violent hostility to this celebration.
There is nothing in Memorial Day
which makes il the peculiar property
Of any class or section, and IL seems TO
us a delightful occasion when north and
south. east and west. unite with clasped
hands TO remember the soldier friends
OF all. If our leaders Of thought and
action, north and south, had been made
Of the same material and east in the
same mold as were Grant and Lee,
and Lincoln and Longstreet. the war
would have been fought and finished
in four years instead of continuing
throughout one-fourth of a century. 1t
is the most imperative duty Of the
coming generation to forever lay aside
and bury the animosities and jealousies
and backbitings which have sprung
from that unfortunate contest. This
is not only reasonable, but II is patri-
otto and 1t is Christlan.-Ram's Horn.

Climbing Mont IsIanc.

It is an expensive as we'll as a very

as the danger is concerned, 1t is now
reduced to minimum. but almost
every year the mountain claims a

in fifteen minutes turn to a binding
snow-storm which beats you to the

Mabel Thorpe laid no claims TO social
distinction when Leander met her first

without more ado she accepted him.
Now, Mabel Thorpe did not expect
her hero TO swim the Hellespont Of life
with all his armor on, but she did de-
mand from him-as she had right 10
do-a high moral standard. for she had
not married him until she had seen, as
she had believed, his whole past life
laid open before her aS book. There
is no time when a man is as weakly
sentimental and as religious as when he
is trying to live up TO the standard OF
a pure young girls ideal, and Leander
became almost an angel.
