the table of the stand; but how to escape
the uncovered joists was the task for
the engineer corps to decide. Their plan
was soon formed. The rat army moved
up in solid mass, the stout old fellow in
front on these climbed smaller and
smaller specimens, till little rat noun
tain arose. Then some of the rats, who
had evidently belonged to some rat circus
or athletic society. climbed to the summit,
and one raised himself on his hind legs,
resting his fore legs against the zinc;
then another climbed up his back, and
taking post on his shoulder, assumed the
same attitude: rat after rat assembled the
Jacobs ladder. till at last one reached the
cross-beam, and scampered along 1t. A
regiment followed, and the meat was at
tached, the engineers evidently aiming TO
drop down what they could for the bene-
fit OF the army. The onlookers, however,
were not disposed to let them go too far,
and with all their engineering skill the
rat army had to leave the field. The whole
operation showed remarkable degree OF
calculation. a system OF discipline, and
ready carrying out OF plans which seems
impossible without language as a means
OF imparting the directions and wishes of
the commander

Who tasted death ere thou shouldst know
It's bitterness of utmost Woe
With strength shall guerdon thee.

Each life of earth must see.
And in some hour, or soon or late,
Must bend beneath the crushing weight
OF earth's Gethsemane.
But heart, IN love and prayer look up
Beyond the awesome tree;
The Heaven OF heavens Is reft to-day,
All angels march the starry way
That leads from Calvary.

The price OF every ransomed soul
