prophecy that the King OF Assyria
should not come into the city nor shoot
an arrow there, nor even come before
1t with shields. nor cast up embank-
ments of siege. but that the Lord
would defend the city as His own
Doubtless the prophecy seemed strange
to the people. By what miracle this
could be accomplished they could not
think. The lesson to US Is that:
God moves In a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps In the sea,
And rides upon the storm"

Isaiah briefly and POLITICALLY declares
that the angel of the Lord smote the
camp of the Assyrians. without ex-
planning in what manner. We remem-
ber the statement OF the Scriptures
that wind and fire and lightning may
be the Lords messengers or "angels."
Quite probably. in this instance, the
messenger Of death may have been a
malignant form Of fever said to pre-
vail at times to the northeast OF
Egypt; but it matters not to US what
messenger the Lord used to turn back
the Assyrian hosts.
The lesson for US Is to note the d.
vine power which overrules, orders
and directs. 50 that all things shall
work together in harmony with His
will. 1t was not His will that Assyria
should become the first Universal En-
pire. That honor was reserved for the
kingdom Of Babylon, century later

was prepared to withdraw His own

The lesson to the Christian is that
we should keep right with God, abid-
ing under the shadow Of the Almighty;

work together for our good.

4 Haitian Glass Eye.

Some years ago a Haitian general
wrote to- Paris optician to supply
him with a glass eye. The optician,
fiattering himself that successful eye
would secure for him Haitian deco
ration, devoted his utmost intelligence
to the production Of splendid glass
optic Six months elapsed. A small
box reached him from Haiti. A cross
glittered in his Imagination; but, to his
horror, within folds Of cotton was his
original eye, accompanied by the fol-
lowing note: "Sir-The eye you for.
warded to me is Of tint that resem-
bles that Of the Spanish flag, and ]
am too patriotic to wear any but the
color of my country"
The optician proceeded at once to
the admiralty, there ascertained the
eolors Of the Haitian flag and then
manufactured scarlet and green eye,
which he forwarded.

A Browning kneedote.

In an English magazine writer tells
an amusing story Of the poet Brown
ing and how he received certain flow
ers from lady, who, on being pressed
to give their English names, shyly con-
fessed they were called bloody
noses" I happened many years ago
to be staying In country house when
Browning told the story in his mimi
table way, and he ended with the fol-
lowing lines. which 1 then and there
committed to memory and which will,
I think, interest your readers:
I'll deck my love with posies.
I'll cover her with roses.
Should she protest
