It was only a trill Of sweet laughter
That rang through the quaint old room.
That echoed from each lowly rafter.
And banished the stiffness and gloom.
But It won. from its evil designing.
A heart that was sullen and wild.
And a life was redeemed from repining.
BY the innocent laugh Of a child.
1t was only kind word OF greeting.
A welcoming word and smile:
The lips sweet message repeating,
From a heart that was free from all
guile.
And one who was weary with sorrow,
Looked up from her vigil of pain.
And, filled with new hope for the morrow,
Thanked God, and took courage again.

MORGAN'S RIFLEMEN.

Washington.

When Washington, one day riding
along his lines, saw the fringed hunt
ing-shirts of the Nirginians approach
ing, the reserve of his naturally unde-
monstrative nature broke down. AT
the sight he stopped; the rifiemen drew
nearer, and their commander, stepping
i'll front, made the military salute, ex-
claiming: General, from the banks
of the Potomacl' Washington dis
mounted, came to meet the battalion,
and going down the line with both
arms extended, shook hands with the
riflemen one by one, tears rolling down
his checks as he did so. He then mount
ed, saluted, and silently rode on"
The ritlemen were at once employed
as sharpshooters, and kept the enemy
continually in hot water. Hitherto the
British outposts had been safe enough
within stone's-throw of the American
lines, but they nov found, to their cost,
that ii Was almost certain death to eX-
pose their heads within 200 yards of II
rheman. So frequent became the re-
turns Of officers, pickets and artillery
men shot at long range that Edmund
Burke exclaimed in parliament: Your
officers are swept off by the rifles if
they show their noses!" In the Brit
ish camp the ritlemen were called
"shi't-tail men, with their cursed twist

piian makers in the woI oIld."-Harper's

HOPE TO INVADE ENGLAND.
The French Expect Some Day to Land
a COnquerinE Army ON
British Soil y,

Since Napoleon's day the idea of in
vading England has never left the
French mind. Weary of war and arma-
ments, exhausted by the terrific strug-
gle Ill which she had so nearly sue
cumbed, England forgot her navy and
turned to the arts of peace. A like
lassltude had seized the continent after
generation of bloodshed, SO that at
1irst this neglect brought no evil re-
suit except a general lowering of the
national tone and spirit. Cobden's de-
lightful idea that the French, being
the most domesticated and affectionate
people on the face of the earth" would
never dream of war was given trial
We who have seen the downfall of Cob
den's foreign policy and the complete
discontinue of his economic prophecies
know that he was a faddist wandering
in Utopia. But the instructive fact that
the Golden policy was tried remains.
iNhat, then, was the attitude of the
lamblike, "domesticated," affection
ate" French nation? From the acces-
sion of Louis Philippe in 1880 dates the
beginning of what has been, no doubt,
ironically described as the entente cor
dale between England and France, but
what might with more accuracy be de-
scrlbed as period of secret hostility on
Frances part and blind friendliness al
ternating with frenzied alarm on Eng
lands.
Talleyrand came to England with the
full intention of maintaining a close al
lance with England, and returned to
France proclaiming that the English
were arrogant and detestable, and that
friendship between the two powers was
impossible. Theirs in 1910 attempted
to get hold of Egypt; secret informa-
ton was given the British government
of plot to burn our ships in the dock
yards, and next day two ships at Devon
port took fire; the French admiral in
the East Indies, Lelarde, was in favor
of attacking our fleet without q dec
laration of war, and it was certain that
he could have destroyed it. a squadron
was assembled at Toulon to seize the
Balearics. but Louis Philippe had not
the requisite courage, and Theirs fell
and was replaced by Guizot. In 1912
came the Tahiti affair, when France
openly threatened war and England did
not venture to insist upon full satisfac-
ton.
All through 1912 and 1913 war be-
tween France and England-these two
cordial friends-seemed imminent.
Even the quietest and most peaceful
among us are beginning to look for
ward to a war with France as an event
which no prudence on our part can
long prevent" wrote Palmcrston in Au-
gust, 1914. In 1916 came the breach of
faith on Louis Philippe's part in the
matter of the Spanish marriages, and
profound uneasiness throughout this
country. The duke of Wellington in
1847 startled England by his letters,
pointing out, in the then decrepit state
of the fleet, the extreme danger of in
vasion by the French.-National Re-
view

NOVEL SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
One That Was Made by COrenns from
Vines Three Hundred
Years Ago.

The first suspension bridge that can
be dignitied by that name was thrown
across the Im-jin river in Corea in 1892
Here again dire necessity dictated the
terms. The Japanese in P'yeng-yang,
learning of the defeat of the army of re-
enforcement, determined to withdraw,
China had begun to bestir herself in
favor of Corea and the japanese, driven
from P'yeng-yang by the combined
Chinese and Corean armies, fastened
southwark toward Seoul When the
pursuers arrived at the Im-jin river the
Chinese general refused to cross and
continue the pursuit unless the Coreans
would build bridge sufficiently large
and strong to insure the passage of his
10000 men in safety. The Coreans
were famishing for revenge upon the
Japanese and would be stopped by no
obstacle that human ingenuity could
surmount. Sending parties of men in
all directions, they collected enormous
quantities of chik, tough, fibrous vine
that often attains length of 100 yards.
From this eight huge hawsers were
woven. Attaching them to trees or
heavy timhers let into the ground,
the bridge builders carried the other
ends across the stream by boats and
anchored them in the same way. OF
course the hawsers dragged in the wa
ter in midstream, but the Coreans were
equal to the occasion. Stout oak bars
were inserted between the strands in
midstream and then the hawsers were
twisted until the torsion brought them
u good ten feet above the surface.
Brushwood was then piled up on the
eight parallel hawsers and upon the
brushwood clay and gravel were laid.
When the roadbed had been packed
down firmly and the bridge had been
tested the Chinese could no longer re-
fuse to advance, and so, upon the first
suspension bridge, $50 yards long, that
army of 10000 Cinnamon, with all
their Corean allies, camp equipage and
impedimenta crossed in safety. This
bridge, like the tortoise-boat, having
served its purpose, was left to fail of
Its own weight.-Harper's Magazine.
