so rouse as amber :-
The Normans landed ,n our cls one fair
October da
Descended *lowly from their shipsin loss
sad bright array;
Both horsemen in their armour bright
and archon bold and strong,
Aad the banners of a thuumad knights
flashed 'mid the motley throng.
And there amid the glittering spas, aid
the havers sheen,
Bareheaded, with kis kends upraised,
the Norman duke was seen;
And from the Sovereign Lady a blessing
he called down
Upon that vast array of men, and prayed
for England's crown.
But Harold he was far away on bonnie
Yorkshire's moors,
Where he had gone in haste to fight oold
Norway's savage boor!.
And like a wolf upon the fold he bunt
upon their camp,
And with the fiery Lostig's blood the
heather bloom was damp.
Delighted with their riotori the English -
in n that night It
Sat round the blazing camp -fires and
quaffed their mead so bright.
When to ! across the distant plain they
heard a horse's tramp,
And a rid?r, all besmeared with mud, rode
headlong in the camp.
"To arms ! to anus!" the stranger cried,
"The Norman wolf ie here:
And southward march without delay if
wives and friends are dear."
Words cannot picture, pen describe, that
saeene of wild dismay;
But daylight saw brave Handtl s troops
far oa their southern way.
Untiring, on their dreary starch, day af-
ter day they went,
Until at last foot -sore and sad they en-
tered flowery Kent.
A day passel on -at eve they stood and
gazed with rising ire
Upon the Norman chivalry, whose hel-
mets flashed like lire.
On one Bide stood the Norman, and snail -
el and jeered with scorn,
To see the Saxon army with their flags
and banners torn;
For, foolish, they had still to learn that
hearts as warm may beat,
Tho' they have rags upon their basks and
eh.oeless are their feet.
And so upon this warlike scene the
sun sank down the sky.
The Saxon spent the night in drink and
song and revelry;
But from the Norman camp was heard
the monk's exhorting prayer,
And the sounds of Are Jforie.+ borne on
the evening air.
Tho night passed quickly on, and bright
the morning sun arose;
The Saxon sharped the battle axe to fight
Ohl England s foes.
The armies now in long bright ranks
stool waiting face to face,
And each one hoped to win the day by.
God's especial grace.
Then from the Norman horsemen there
rushed a crested knight,
And challettged any Saxon with him to
'gage in fight.
There was a pause, a whisper, then and
from the Saxon ranks
A Saxon horsemen pressed his spun
against his horse's flanks.
They met between the awestruck ranks,
they met with reeling clash:
The Saxon axe swept through the air
and brightly did it flash,
Then crashing through the uplifted shield
it laid the Norman low,
Cleft from suis helmet's ' •.pering crest
down to his saddle bow.
Then fr on each Norman bosom up rose
the avenging cry,
And straightway from their tight strung
bows the arrows were let fly;
The Saxon ranks grew closer then, all
glittering in the sun,
And mid their sheets and Norman pray-
ers the battle was begun.
Then onward carie the savage foes in
ranks bogs full and long,
And froth their lusty throats rang forth
brace Rolan l's warlike song:
And as the approaching armies met loud
was the battle's clash,
The Sax. .n war axe shivere.l through
the Norman nail like glass.
Amid the invader's ranks was seen,
ineunted on charger white,
Duke William, clad in triple steal, amid
the thi:keet tight;
(hi foot brave Harold led his men among
the fiercest fray,
And 'neath their flashing axes soon the
Norman ranks gave way;
But %Valliant rallied soon his amen and
louder waxed the roar,
And all the Hower -spotted plain was dyed
with purple gore.
Louder and louder grew the din and
fiercer clashed the steel,
And through the donde of shining bolts
the sou could not he seen.

Satan steadfast rows: .

'Words of l lissom.
Men are sometimes accused of pride,
merely because their accusers would be
proud themselves wore they in their
pies.
The more honesty a man has the less
he affects the air of a saint; the affecta-
tion of sanctity is a blotch on the face
of piety.
The difficulty of the world is not that
it does not know enough, but that it
can't find time to practise what it does
know.
Slander is a voice that strikes a dou-
ble blow, wounding both hint that com-
mits it and him against whom it is com-
mitted.
True repentance has a double aspeet;
it looks upon things past with a sweep-
ing eye, and upon the future with a
watchful eye.
Everything in this world .depends up-
on will. R e think everything in this
world depends upon woman. It is the
same thing.
A man's fortune should be the rule for
his sparing, not spending. Extrava-
gance may be supported, not justified by
affluence.
Men of genius are often dull amidst
common -place society, as the blazing
meteor, when it descends to earth is on-
ly a stone.
Memory is the cabinet of imagination,
the treasure of reason, the registry of
conscience, and the council chamber of
thought.
To rejoice in another's prosperity is to
give content to your own lot; to mitigate
another's grief is to alleviate or dispel
your own.
Every man's own besetting sin is the
tempest. You love God; you walk upon
the sea; the swelling of this world are
under your feet.
We should often have reason to be
ashamed of our most brilliant actions, if
the world could see the motives from
which they spring.
A helping hand to one in trouble is
often like a switch on a railroad track -
but one inch between wreck and smooth
I rolling prosperity.
The silent usually accomplish more
than the clamorous. The tale of a rat-
tlesnake makes all the noise, but the
head does the execution.
Wealth in this world is just so much
baggage to be taken care of, but a culti-
vated brain is easy to carry, and is a
never failing source of profit and plea-
sure.
What is colonial necessarily lacks ori-
ginality. A country that borrows its
language, its laws and its religion can-
not have its inventive powers much de-
veloped.
The Bible e■ Total .abstinence.
The Bible wines controversy waxes
hot in New York, between Chancellor
Crosby on the one side and the advo-
cates of total abstinence non other. Rev.
Theodore Cuyler takes these positions
on the question:
(1) The Bible in various passages
points oat the evils of intoxicating
drinks. It never pronounces a- blessing
on intoxicants, but often warns us
against tampering with theta.
(2) The Bible in several passages com-
mends abstinence from alcoholic beve-
rages. But there is not a single line in
God's word which condemns total absti-
nence.
(3) The Bible is to be studied as a
whole; and the whole spirit of this bless-
ed word from heaven is the spirit of self-
control, sobrity, purity, avoidance of
temptation, and of self-denial for the
sake of our fellow -men.
On these views of the Bible Dr. Cuy-
ler says the total abstinence army Are a
unit, and "against these views the gates
of hell can never prevail."

A Goon Pasacs.IrrtoN. -An anecdote
is told of a physician who was called to
a foreign fancily to prescribe for a case
of incipient consumption. He gave them
a prescription for pills and wrote the
direction -"One pill to be taken three
times a day in any convenient vehicle.
The family looked into the dictionary to
get at the meaning of tjie prescription.
They did well until they reached the
word "vehicle." The found "cart,
waggon, carriage, wheelbarrow." After
grave consideration they cause to the
conclusion that the doctor meant the pa-
tient should ride out, and while in the
vehicle he should take the pill. He
followed the advice to the letter, and in
a few weeks the fresh air and exercise
secured the advantage which otherwise
might not have come.
DANIEL BAIHIEL WARNER, the presi-
dent of Liberia, is dead. He was born
near Baltimore, Md., in 1815, of slave
parents, who, however, obtained their
freedom stortly after his birth. He has
been in Liberia ever since, and is repre-
sented as a statesmen of considerable
ability.
The acquittal of Kalloch, for the
murder of De Young, the San Francisco
journalist, does not say much for the
sense of juries or justice in California
The murder was deliberate and mal-
icious, and there could be no doubt
about the main facts. The feud. be-
tween the K illochs and De Youngs,
though bitter enough, could not justify
the murder; and the only thing that can
be said of the plea of temporary insanity
in the case is, that the malady appears
to have taken possession of the jury.
A fair young mother, with a crying

By-and-by he said :-"Let nie hold your
baby, perhaps I can soothe him." "Oh,
no; I ata much obliged; you couldn't
help me any," was the answer. "But,"
he persisted, "you had better let me
try." You are very kind, but I know
you couldn't help me, for he is hungry,"
replied the blushing mother.
