SEPARATED.

s'what matters the river which winds be-
tween?
It is easy to speak across" she cried.
But his answer nang through the sunny
scene:
..It is better far to keep side by side
q there nought to whisper 'twixt you and
me?
And the river widens towards the sea"
They set me a -dreaming-those words they
spoke
A-dreaming of hearts which are sundered
ny an angry word O, a thoughtless Joke.
Or by misty something that none can
know.
Only henceforth two go ever apart.
Too far for the touching OF heart with
heart.
And the one cries vainly. but all unheard.
For the other Is stricken deaf and dumb.
And they both fare on. In the hope de-
OF a meeting day that can scarcely
come;
OF the others heart. each has lost the
key.
s.And the river widens towards the sea-"
And each soul goes yearning apart to cry:
20, my cherished friend Of the vanished
days,
We have lost each other-and scarce know
why!
And only this bitter-sweet comfort stays.
That despite the mists which have rolled
between
That dur love Is what 1t has ever been!'
Then we strain our eyes to the ocean vast
CWhat does it keep at It's farther sideO
Where the widest river Is merged at last
And the parted strands can no more d.
vide.
Perchance as we sail for its unknown
shore
We shall hail the dip Of q friendly oar,
And 10, comes the vanished friend to our
side:
ct am here-the same as used to be
The river will never more divide,
It has lost itself in Deaths mighty sea:
We have left behind all the doubt and fret
But love that was faithful Is with US
yet"

EMANCIPATION IN EGYPT.
uavery Thing of the Past In the Land
of the PhaYaohs

N0very n InlnS OF the Iast In the Lana
of the Pharaohs.
The extension OF Egyptian rule now
TO the Soudan wo1ld be under condi-
tions vastly different from those that
prevailed when Egyptian rule there
was brought to an end in 1884. At that
time the officials were Turkish and
their methods were Turlxish-that is
to say, cruel, corrupt, oppressive and
destructive of prosperity. Slavery ex-
listed in Egypt, and in a worse form
in the Soudan. 1t still exists in the
Soudan, but under a decree of the
lthedive in November last, enforced by
the English influence, it has ceased
in Egypt. Every slave in Egypt may
now, if he likes, demand and obtain
his certificate of manumission.
In the consular reports from March
Consul-General Penfeld, Cairo, writing
in November last, observes that should
the Soudan and equatorial provinces
ever be retaken by Egypt there will
be hundreds OF thousands of poor
people to whom the advent of the khe-
dives government will be as the I'M
locking of the prison door to the cap
tive" The advent, in short, of Gen.
Kitchener and his Anglo-Egyptian
army will mean deliverance and new
social and industrial order. The liber-
ated slaves will be stout upholders of
the reestablished Egyptian authority.
Administration will be under English
guidance. Regard for justice and hui
manity, for the first time in the his
tory of that part of the world, will
characterize the government. The pre-
dominance of a, European power in
Egypt and the abolition of slavery ara
new factors that will tell most favor
ably on the future of the Soudan when
recognized. .l..
The present government of that re-
gion is about the worst it has ever had.

three tribes, who lord it over the
masses. The principle of cohesion is
gloomy fanaticism helped out by a
spoils system of very literal character.

A MIDNIGHT MARAUDER.

MY worst adventure in that line &C.
Cured in a country hotel where tho
windows were screened with dilapi-
dated mosquito-netting had light
burning while slept, and was awakened
by scratching, such as cat would
make. This did not disturb me, as I
like cats. But it was followed by loud
whirring sound that set all my nerves
on edge, and sitting up saw the gil
gantic shadow of a bird. When I in
vestigated it, I found that instead Of
bird the shadow was made by one of
those immense nocturnal marauders
known as the midnight butterfly. If it
had been giraffe could not have been
more afraid of it. l seized wash basin,
md watching my opportunity turned
it over the monster, imprisoning him be-
meath. Then 1 went to bed.
"But not to sleep! That moth made
as much noise as a young pig, and at
last it lifted the basin, and pushed out
it's formidable afeelers and pop eyes.
seized an iron bootjack and fastened
the insects prison with it's weight. The
next morning told the landlord to
chloroform it. 1t was handed about as
splendid specimen of it's kind, but I
beat an inglorious retreat.
THAT night after seeing that the
netting at the window was safe sat
down to write my orders for my house,
when scratch, scratch, came the iden-
teal noise of the night before. Hooked
and there was Mr.. Moth as lively as
ever, and, as it seemed to me, twice us
large. No, was perfectly sober. He
had come out of his chloroforIned state,
and crept into my room through the

night. before, and which had been over

Everything turned out splendidiy.
The bullion was duly forwarded to Nor
rison, jenkins & Co., who promptly de-
camped with it to New York, as ar
ranged. There we divided the swag and
went our several ways.
Mr.. Benson was found on the door
step of his own bank one morning in
an unconscious state. On recovering
he told the reporters that, a week previ-
ously, he had been set upon by two
men, gagged, and taken to q vile den,
where he had been kept prisoner. Then
he had again been drugged, and awoke
to find himself beside the bank door.
He could give no reason for the outrage.
When, however, he heard of the MIS-
ing bullion, it is possible he began to
see through the business, but in all
probability he will never know how adj
mirably his place was filed on one
eventful morning by the man who had
the good fortune to be the bank man.

that may take the managers place,
that gentleman himself will have to be

it would never do to have him cropping
up and spelling the game. So 1 propose
we wire to town for old j linn Levett, and
get him to bring down couple of his
lads with him. Levett and the boys
will waylay the manager on his way
home one night, drug him, and bring
him to the house, which, l believe, will
be perfectly safe, as old Bennett (the
landlord) is pal of ours. Besides,
