"And the tiring, was "right in the eyes of the king and of all the as- sembly."— The law itself provided that, in case any one could not - ob- serve the passover.in the first month, he might observe it in the second month; and this provision was now applied to all the pebple,--a remark- able instance of the flexibility; of the Mosaic law.

"So the posts went with the .let- ters from the king and his princes, etc."—The posts were runners, swift couriers, speeding on tireless feet a, long the narrow and often rocky roads of Pales,inc, usually mere paths, "Post-haste" means as fast as one: of these ebu refs.

But the O hearts of Israel were hardened. GREAT JOY IN JERUSALEM. "And all the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites,"-- The entire tribe of Levi, set apart to aid the priests in the care of the temple, was active in promoting the, festival, "And all the assembly that came out of Israel,"=`Che guests from the northern tribes. "And the so- journers that came out of the land of Israel, andthat dwelt in Judah, rejoiced,"— These sojourners were the proselytes to Judaism from other peoples, and they, as sincere converts from heathenism, would exult in the, pure religion which they had found., "So there was great joy in Jerusa lent"— 'There is no joy like the de- light of sincere religion. Those that have'had no experience of it regard religion as cold, austere, bloomy; in reality it combines the buoyancy of youth, the freshness of the spring- time, the' peace of an abiding pros- perity, anti the exultant happiness of perfect love, There is no form or measure of joy which religion does, not bring to those that yield, them- selves to 'God: "For since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jern- Salem."—Inrnredia'tely after the death of Solomon carne the folly of his son Rehoboam,.the succession of the northern tribes under Jeroboam, and. iniquity of the Divided Kingdom. For a standar ofhappiness the pp ess t e chronicler must go back to the reign. of Solomon. "Their the priests the Levites."— The levites who were priests, and therefore hacl the right to pronoun 0 a blessing. "Arose and blessed the people."-- They pronounced over them the beautiful benediction record- ed in Ntim. 6:22.27.

W. P. Frith, the celebrated English artist, tells an amusing story regard- ing an experience he had when on a, sketching tour in the rural. districts. He was boarding in acott are owned by a aloe old woman who often used to wateh him paint. There was a rush -bottomed chair which he used. for his work andto which he became quite attached, it wasn't worth more than fifty cents—a; lot of money in those days ---and when he was leaving. Frith offered the dear old woman five shillings for it. "But . she said 'No,' " chuckled Frith, relating the incident to Julian Hawthorne, "she couldn't think: of robbing me, but she'll be perfectly content if I'd take the chair in ex- change for one of my little 'pieters'1" Which took Frith's breath 'away tor a mi0nte—•the little 'pleters' would easily sell for a thousand dol- lars or more—blit he got out of it somehow, and carried off the chair, too, SCOTS 11A.1'E 81011p{.S'.1' Pi1UAl S, l;itreKlisltinen.

Hop Workers on Stilts. In the Kentish hop -fields many of the poles are 18 feet high. And the workers who "string" them have to use lofty steps,' with a flat platform on top.
