The Masters Touch.

He touched her hand, and the fever left her."
He touched her hand, as He only can,
With the wondrous skill of the great Physician,
with the tender touch of the Son of Man.
And the fever pain in the throbbing temples
Died out with the flush on brow and cheek,
And the lips that had been parched and burning
Trembled with thanks that she could not speak.
And the eyes where the fever-light had faded
Looked up, by her grateful tears made dim,
And she rose and ministered to her household,
She rose and mnstered unto Him.
: He touched her hand, and the fever left her."
Oh, blessed touch of the Man divnel
So beautiful then to arise and serve Him,
When the fever is gone from your life and mine;
1t may be the fever of restless serving,
With heart as thirsty for love and praise,
And eyes all aching and strained with yearning
Toward self set goals in the future days.
Or it may be fever OF spirit anguish
Some tempest or sorrow that dies not down,
Till the cross at last is in meekness lifted
And the head stoops low for the thorny crown
Or 1t may be a fever of pain and anger.
When the wounded spirit is hard to bear,
And only the Lord draw forth the arrows
Left carelessly, cruelty ranking there.
Whatever the fever His touch can heal 1t;
Whatever the tempest, His voice can still;
There is only Joy as we seek his pleasure
There is only a rest as we choose His will
And some day, after life's htful fever,
think we shall say in the Home High,
" II the hands that He touched but did His bidding
How little it matters what else went BY"
All, Lord! Thou knowest us altogether,
Each hearts sore Sickness whatever 1t be-
Touch Thou our hands Let the fever leave US,
And so shall we minister unto Theel
London Christian.

A Country Lane.

Between steep banks 1t winds along,
O'erhung with leafy hawthorne trees,
From which IN spring the thrush's song
Floats softly on the soft south breeze.
There is the earliest primrose found,
And modest purple violets grow
And trembling Wild nowers star the ground,
And humble ragged oins blow.
There, too, on golden summer ewes,
The old folks like 10 stroll and talk;
Or slowly, under whispering leaves,
The selfabsorbed young lovers walk,
While, fresh As youthful h pes, unfur
New growths about their lingering feet;
And tender fronds of fern uncurl,
And all the balmy air is sweet.
With mingled scents of thyme and musk,
And wilding roses, passion-pale,
AS trembles through the dewy dusk
The music of the nightingale.
And, stealing from some hidden nook
Adown the lane and DER the lea,
by pleasant ways, silver brook
Runs, singing, to the silver sea.

To Hope.

Come, Hope, again! run on before,
While we walk far to-day,
Through silent Wales, brown, steep hills DER,
Or down the rutted way
Run on before; thy starry eyes
Bring brightness everywhere
Light nov the way our journey lies,
That shadows wait not there.
Oh, tell me, Hope, Of Joys thou'lt see,
My dim eyes scarce descry;
No need for bird to sing have we,
with such dear pratte nigh.
Long vert thou gone; need thee so
To-day, and every day,
If down sweet fowery lanes go,
Or through the rough highway.

Apik E6endi convicted-Sailors Charged
 with Grave Crimes.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-A special to The Herald from Constantinople says that the most sensational trial ever known in Turkey has just been con cluded. Apik Efendi, the millionaire Armenian, has been condemned to three years imprisonment in fortress. He was accused of being chief of the revo- lutionary committee. This latter was considered not proven, but his connec- tion with the movement was established. He was given the minimum penalty possible.
 As regards the troubles at Lomnos, the truth is that while the British fleet was anchored in the port of Mudros, some sailors hired horses from some shepherds and went into the mountains, where they excited the Mussulmen's s wrath by the violation of two Turkish women. On returning @ v met the demands of the shepherds Tor payment by thrashing them Three hundred sailors landed at Mudros, ate and drank in the taverns and then refused pay ment. They also entered Mussulmen houses for low purposes and beat the police and people.
