One less at home 1 The (harmed circle broken ; a dear face Missed day by day from its accustomed place ; But cleansed and saved and perfected by grace, One more in heaven One lees at home ! One voice of welcome hushed, and ever- more One farewell word unspoken ; on the shore Where parting comes not, one soul landed more— One more in heaven ! Alter a rough 13005114' a,witUalin 0 b everyone siok, we' arrived in Jana, and bad to disembark in small heats, • It Was quite exciting whiting for the waves, al. 61101401 wo Were told it was very smooth, We all managed to got into the boat safe• ly and trade for the shore, Landing we had to go along a narrow, slippery ledge not more than 0 foot \vide, and through the eustoni hones to the Hotel, where we were followed in a short time by our baggage. Jaffa ie situated on a hill, rlaing from the sea, and is eompossd of wetly Colored 50 roofed houses, From hero we took the train for Jerusalem. Passing through the Valley of Sharon, which is a bsauti, fully fertile eounbry, reminding one of the North of Scotland, wersaohed the mountains whioh were very rugged and curiously terraced for cultivation. The railroad follows the bed of a stream at' present dry. Arriving in Jerusalem we drove over a beautiful road, past the Hill of Zion, and reached the hotel which commands a splendid view. We entered the pity by the Jaffa Gate, and past the Tower of David. Going down the street of David and a number of other streets we reached the Court in front of the Qhureh of the Holy Sepul- chre, in which a 4reat number of people were selling rosaries, °roeses, etc. Enter- ing the ohurah we saw the usual amount of gilt, imagism, pictures and Dandles ; but ib is impossible to give any idea, of what we sate. All the time we were in the church, there was an endless stream of pilgrims whale evident faith in every- thing and whose pious superstitions were almost painful to us. We saw the places where the throe crosses stood—plasma so close together that the arms of the crosses must have overlapped. Near this is the "rent in the rook," whioh was made at the time of the crucifixion. We saw the "Stone of Unobion," the "Holy Sepal. obre," the "Pillar of Flagellation," the place where the cross was found (?), the sword and spurs of Godfrey I, and chap• els and shrines without number. Almost all the sects worship in the Church, but the Greeks have by far the largest part. We then went to a new Russian building containing part of the wall and the old Astra Gate,aed then to a Greek Convent from the top of which we had a splendid view of the city. These convents are largely used for the shelter of poor pilgrims who come here and stay, often as long as three menthe. After luncheon on Monday, Feb. 20th, we started outside the walls by the New Gate and went right around the city. We went first to Mount Zion, from the walls of which could be seen the valley of Hinnom, the Potter's field, the Hill of Evil Counsel, eto. A little farther on, passing through the Dung Gate, we came to the Wailing Place of the dews, where unfortunately there were sot very many wailers, it not being Friday. The dirt here was bad, but not nearly so bad as others have told us of. Passing on we saw the pool and village of Siloam, the Mt. of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the pillar on whioh Mohammed is to sit wbeu he judges the world, the Golden Gate and the Damascus Gate. Before Doming to the Damasous Gate we went up to the top of the hili which ie thought by many to be the true site of Calvary, and below is the tomb. It certainly looks as if this was the real place. From the lop of this mound there is a splendid view of the whole city. We next visited the tombs of the, Kings, whioh are subterranean caverns and peerages totally unadorned, and which are reputed to have been used as the tombs of the Kings of Judea. The following day we started for Hebron, a drive of about 25 miles. The road all the way is very good and winds among the hills. The hills and valleys are all covered with stones, in some One Less at home 1 places almost hiding say little earth A sense of loss that meets us at the gate ; there is. In some places there Are at - Within, a place unfilled and desolate ; tempts at cultivation, but as a general And far away, our coming to await, thing the desolation is appalling. The One more in heaven 1 stones vary in size from pebbles to huge boulders, and are to be seen everywhere, even where there is cultivation. There is a strange lank of people everywhere. In about an hoer and a half we got to the Pools of Solomon, whioh are three large reservoirs, formerly used to supply Jeru• Salem. The remaining walla are in al. most a perfect state of preservation. From thieve had a long uphill drive to Hebron, arriving there about 11 in the morning, taking lunch in a Jew's house whioh was not remarkable for its clean- liness. Afterwards we walked through the narrow, dirty streets to the Cave Maophelah, in whioh Abraham, Sarai, and Team: were buried. The inhabitants are very fanatical, and even the Prince of Wales had to have an escort of soldiers when he visited the cave. Hebron would hardly be worth doming to, if it were not for the idea one gets of the country. Coming baok we went to Bethlehem and visited the Ohuroh of the Nativity. In a grotto under the church is a spot mark. ed where Ohrist was born, the manger where he was laid, the tomb of St. Jerome, and any number of other saints in endless profusion. All through the church are Turkish soldiers, placed there to keep psaoe between the different sects who worship in the plane. Leaving here we returned to Jerusalem, arriving at the One more at home f hotel abort six o'olook. That home whore separation cannot be, On Wednesday we went through the That home whence none are missed city to the I-Iaram in whioh are the eternally ; Mosque of the Dome of the Rook (eons.

The first of these is a magnificent building, by far the best of tine kind we have seen. The interior is very fine, the colors being more sub - clued and better blended than in the On Friday, Feb. 23rd, we left Cairo for other mosques we have seen.

From here we the Canal, which is simply a ditch its the went to the other mosque (EI Akeu) sand. We saw one large ocean vessel whioh was formerly a Christian church. passing through on her way to the East. About the only thing noticeable about Pert Said is a place of about 15,000 it is the number of kinds of columns that inhabitants and has a great number of are used in its construction. stores with all kinds of goods from the We then went to "Solomon's Stables" Haab and Weet.

Af. ter visiting a number of ohurohee we , went baok to bhe hotel, arriving just in time to miss a stere of rain, snow and sleet Combined. The following day, Matadi 1eb, we loft J'erusalatn on horssbaok for Jericho, It wast beautiful morning. The road led nut past the M1. of Olives and Bethany in a gentle deoliviby all the way. The mountains on both sides were of the most rugged oharaater, We had lunoheon at the Good Samaritan Inn, the place where the man fell among the thieves, and to this day ib looks a very good spot for such an occurrence. Through one of the gaps iu the bills, when nearing Jericho, we had a very beautiful view of the Dead Sea. Turning off the diroob road we visited Elisha's Fountain, whioh was made sweet by the addition of a handful of salt. On the way we crossed the Brook Cherith and saw the spot where Elijah was fed by the ravens,—a tremendous gorge, frilly 1000 feet deep. We got to the hotel in Jericho about 6 p. m„ after an interesting and adventurous journey, being pretty well fatigued.. A Judge's Story. ion, John 31. Mee Tells Ilow. 110 Was Curet! 05 Selalic MaeanultiSnr—a1Wp• pied for Six Years. The Hon. John M. Rios, of Louisa, Lawrence °minty, Kentucky, has for many years served his native county and state in the Legislature at Frankfort and Washington, and until bis retirement was a noted figure in political and judi. Dial cirolee. A few days ago a Kentua'sy Post reporter called upon Judge Ries, who in the following words related the history of the pauses that led to his re. tirement :—"It is just about six years eine° I had an attack of rheumatism, slight at first, but soon developing Into emetic rheumatism, whioh began first with acute shooting pains in the hips, gradually extending downward to my feet. My condition tscnins so bad that I even- tually lost all power df my legs, and than the liver, kidneys and bladder, and in feat my whole system became deranged. I tried the treatment of many physicians, butreceiving no lasting benefit from them, Iweut to Hot Springs Ark. I was not muoh benefited by some months stay there, when I returned home. In 1891, I went to the SiIhriau Springs, Wakeshaw, Wis. I stayed there some time, but without improvement. Again I returned home, this time feeling no hopes of reoovery. The rnuboles of my limbs were now reduced by atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic pains tortured me terribly, but it was the disordered con- dition of my liver that was I felt grade. ally wearing my life away. Doctors gave me tip, all kinds of remedies bad been tried without avail, and there was no- thing fur me to do but resign myself to fate. "I lingered on in this condition sustain. ed almost entirely by stimulants until April, 1893. One day I saw an aver. tisement of Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People. This was something new, and as one more drug after so many others could do no harm, I was prevailed upon to try the Pink Pills. The effsot of the pills was marvellous, and I could eat heartily, a thing I had not done for years. The liver began to perform its functions, and has done so ever sines. Without doubt the pills saved my life, and while I do nob orave notoriety I Can. not refuse to testify. to their worth." Dr. William's Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $9.50,) by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brookville Ont., or Scbnectady, N.
