WOMAN'S SACRIFICE.

The moOnbeams kiss the Orient shade,
But stiffness fingers DER the glade,
And purple fruit and springing flower
No longer blush in Edens bower,
For print of slaughter's foot is there,
And hushed Is dying Christians prayer.
The Redeemed waters, deep and dark,
No more are graced by sky or barque,
And the low breeze that lifts the leaf
Is like an angels touch of grief
But, bark! a cry rings wild and clear,
A cry of anguish and of fear,
Each shaded nook, and mountain
plain
Re-echoes loud and shrill again,
Till carried on by wind and tide,
A world has caught 1t, far and wide.
An aged captive clanks his chain,
The cruel darts are in his brain,
And blood flows from his sightless eyes,
Yet still in faith to Heaven he cries.
He calls on man, but calls in vain,
For EurOpe's God, Is god of gain.
The triple sham has doubled power,
But fools away the sacred hour.
True, Albion's sons would cross the
steel
OF Ishmaels sons and make them feel,
The cross is yet the honored name
That still will show q Saviour's fame;
But the low snarl of Russian Bear,
Has made them pause in sad despair.
France filings her lilies at the feet
OF Allah's prince and bows defeat.
While shame on shame the Turk be-
guiles,
Wipes his red blade and broadly smiles,
Then orders out his friends again
No raval N Arrnpnin's main
Oh, sister woman, some may be
AS treacherous as the changing sea.
But If there be of earthly mine,
An alchemy of Christ. divine,
A spark, q jet of Heavenly flame,
Ills wreathed about that sainted name
OF her, who bears the Red Cross fame.
The knight of old left pride and power
And sometimes heart in lady's bower,
But sheathed in steel, a costly mail,
He did not dream that he could fail.
But she, oh. God! her plain attire
Is proof 'gainst neither steel nor fire,
And she has fears from nendish clan
That ne'er is known to any man.
God! let the Star and Crescent pale,
Before her strength shall ever fail,
And wrap her in Thy sheen of power
Through every trial of the hour,
Until upon her native shore,
We greet the Peerless one, once more.
\ braVer heart, Il nobler gem,
Than CLEANS among the ranks of men,
The pride of woman. woman blest
Our homage be her deathless crest

ANIMAL ReAsONINo.
Curiosity Is Apparent and Also Resent
ment at Restraint.


ment at Restraint.
The Rev. DR.. Charles j. Adams, in
q recent letter to the Kingston Free
man, incidentally relates the following:
THAT man is more discontented with
things as they are-that man has mere
imagnation-than the lower animals,
do not for moment question. But
that the lower animal has both reason
and imagination, in common with man,
is as unquestlonably true as that the
sun shines. But the question is now
the one of curiosity and discomfort.
Cows rebel against restraint. A gentle
man in Iowa told me about his fathers
wanting the cows in his farmyard to
eat clover hay. They would not do so
because they preferred timothy hay.
A brother farmer advised him to in
some way have the COWS approach the
clover hay, and then drive them rough
ly away, striking them over the snouts
with fork handle. lie did so, and the
! result was that they ate all the clover
hay and wanted more. Here was a clear
case Of rebellion against restraint or
prohibition. Another farmer told me
that he built a fence about a straw
stack, placing the rails upon posts a
couple of feet high Against that fence
the cattle rebelled so emphatically that
I they stuck their heads under the fence
and licked up the old, broken and soiled
straws on the outside, over which they
had walked before, and which they
| could not have been induced to touch
| had it not been for the fence. The fence
was an appetizer TO the cattle, just as
| the limitations of knowledge are ap-
/ petizers to man. And in one case as
in the other the appetite was not physi-
cal. What the cattle wanted was liber-
| ty. The appetite was not of the body,
| but Of the soul.
Il received from Pittsburg the story
/ of a spider that decorates its web, as
it weaves it, with bits Of logwood, which
| 1t takes from a box-with no other pos
slble purpose in mind than that of deco
ration. Another spider weaves web
with broad walls on it-made by plac-
! ing the threads more closely than they
are placed elsewhere in the web. For
what purpose? Simply for the purpose
of decoration, or that it may have a
place of outing or promenade; for an
other web Is woven for the purpose OF
catching food. That spider had an
imagination. 1t was not satisfied with
ordinary things. It wanted something
extraordinary. Ask the man who has
hunted antelope on the prairies, and he
will tell you that he raises flag and
depends on the antelope's curiosity
bringing it within range of his ball.
Around the flag that the hunter raises
the antelope moves in ever-decreasing
circles till the report comes that Is
prophetic Of it's death"
