I buried toy love at twilight,
1The cold, sad winter day'
How Ishaddered wl-h wildaffright,
In that dim hour so grayr
out kind wits howling fifittuY, the waves were
rising prmdly,
In the death -hour of that day!
Mot one friend waa there to aid me,
Or sea my laat farewell;
Row mad my grief bad made me,
litivi wild the twin& that fell
Use grave waa all so ragged, the sides were rough
and Jagged-
lly toaru had I to quell.
Tie from cold my love has perished!"
Thonght I, and gazed erouud

The,white ani,w on wile ground;
IioIea niarked the fountain, the cloude hung

And that was all I Lund.
Net a leaf was in the forest,
No stone was by the aea,
Bo earth, that coverthe poorest,
To hide my dead from the. „

Islay;
I groaned that thio should be.
Ike leaves were tr.rn from their dwellings'
By the mad rushing wind; .
The sea iu its buiried swellings
not a shine nobind.
The snow held all the face of Earth in cold

Bar my dead what could I final., ,-
My love, I will watch beside thee,
Till spring comes back again;
Then I'll get ;peen leaves to bide thee,
To cover up my grain!
No dark brown earth for me, nor even stones
from the sea,
lint buda from the soft spring rain
Bedsl hopesl ye shah neyer clear
Mine eyes from the tears which start;
Dead love thou art still too dear, •
From thee I cannot part.
Walt robe and sighs I laid thee •in that ne'er

That grave -my own sad heart!

Like stones benea.th thous! '
And my hopes, like leaves, are banished -
Torn with my love from mei .

An Account el a Chile War That
Preceded El Ilialuit's by !Many vein -
tarter.
The Soudan is none other than the Cush
et ale Bible, which the Septuagint and the
Vulgate render Ethiopia. •• When /Hoses
had arrived at noa,u'e estate Egypt was
invaded by an Ethiopian army, which
ancoessfully laid waste the country as far
as Memphis. In their despair the, 'Egy, p -
Aiello prayed to their oracles for aidatnd the
advice they reoeived was that they ehould
offer the leadership of their armies to
"Moses, the Hebrew." This they
did. The great diffioulty of the.
campaign was to traverse the
roads which led to the Ethiopian
camp, in consequence of their being infested
with daegeroue eerpents. The wily Israel.
ite provided his advauce guard with a num.
ber of ibes in basketei and instructed the
soldiers to let the birds loose on the ser-
pents. By this iegenioue expedient 'the'
roade were speedily (neared and Moses was
enabled to surpriee the Ethiopiane and de.
feat them with great 'slaughter. Carrying
the war into Meroe itself, Moses them laid
siege to the capital, Saba. The obstinitte,
resistance offered by the defenders pro.
longed the siege for some time, but eventu-
ally the city was delivered up by Tharbiti,
the daughter of the Ethiopian King, who
had watched Moses from a distance, and
from admiring his valor had fallen in love
with him. The story ends happily with
the marriage of Moises and .Tnarbis.--

. ' Dreams with Different Effects.

told the following touching story: "A little
girl dreamed that she was sitting in the
ilooryard, and. that near her stood her
grandfather. Presently two angels -came
down, MA hold of the old man and carried
him up until he alnioet faded from eight,
but pretty soon they began to return with
him, and at last, when • they placed
him on the ground, one of them said:
Not now, old man; you are too heavy.'
The little girl related the dreain to her
grandfather, and the old fellow was so
much impressed theta he went around the
beat day and paid all of his debts. Thus
released of heaviness, he died shortly after-
warde, and, we have reasoir-to-believe, was
taken up`byalie.angels."
As the minister was leaving the church,
he paw a member who had not paid his
part of the _ Balmy necessary to the finan-

said : •
