There oace,was a nether, hoy
Who d.vvelt in.a home by the see,
Where the water deemed fotjay
And the wind wets glad and tree:
But he said, "Good Mother, Oh! let me de;
For the dullest place in the world, I know,
Is this; little brown ,house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple -tree.
"1 will travel east 'and west;

Dear mother, 1 '11 come for thee.
I 'II come for thee in a year and a day,
And joyfully then we '11 baste away
From this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple -tree."
So he traveled here and there,
But newer content was he,
Though he saw in lands moat fair
The costliest homes there be.
He something missed from the sea or sky;
Till he turned again, with a wistful sigh,
To the little brown house,
.The old brown house; • •
Under the apple -tree.
Then the mother saw and smiled,
While her heart grew glad and free.
" Haat thou chosen a hogie, my child?
Ah, where shall we dwell ?" quoth she.
Atiel he said, "Sweet Mother, from east to
west, '
The loveliest home, and the dearest and best,
Is a little brown house,
An old brown house,
Under an apple tree."

'WM GED WARRIORS.
BY DAVID KER.
The quiet little village of Holzmengen, in
Transylvania, was all in an uproar one
bright manner afternoon long ago, for its
Saxon inhabitents were fightiug for their
Hies against terrible odds, as they had
fought many a time before. The whole
elope of the hill on the brow of which it
stood was one great crowd of wild.looking
.nen, with dark, fierce faces and white tur-
bans and strangely fashioned armor—those
dreaded Turkish soldiers the memory of
whose fierceness is still preserved in our
saying that any man of savage temper is
"a regular Turk."
And all this time, while the air was rent
with the din of betas, and Death was gaping
to devour the village and and all within it,
a little girl barely ten years old, with long
fair hair and eyea as blue and bright at the
sky overhead, was at work in her little
garden just behind the village church as
quietly as if no enemy were within a hun-
dred miles of her.
But this was not so strange as it looked.
Little Lizzie was the daughter of the sexton
who had charge of the church, which, ea the
largest and safest building in the place, was
always used as a hospital in time of war ;
and the work upon which the little woman
was so busy was the preparing of bandages
for the wounded, who were now being
brought in thick and fest.
But hi the midst 'of all this uproar and
agony and death the sun shone as brightly
as ever, and the trees of the tiny garden
rustled in the evening breeze, and around
the twelve neat hives that stood ranged in a
row the bees were humming blithely as
they hovered among the flowers; and any
one who had shut his ears to the frightful
din below might have thought this spot the
moat peaceful in the whole world.
And now L'ez:e, catching up a whole arm-
ful of bandage., hurried away into the
church, where she was soon so busy among
the wounded men that she hardly noticed
that the noise of the battle was growing
louder, seeming to roll nearer and nearer
evety moment.
But auddenly a fearful cry hem without
made her leek up, and through the nearest
window she saw the Germans crowding
wildly into the one small gate of the church.
yard wall, while behind them the dark
TarkAlt Luxe and slow -white turbans were
eddying like a flood araong the houses.
The Turks had taken the village, and were
coming on to attack the church itself I
Luckily it could only be attacked en one
side, for on the other the rock was se steep
and slippery that no man alive could have
scaled it. So the brave village bailiff,
though bleediag from several wounds rang-
ed his raw along the side of the wt:ll that
faced the enemy, and encouraged them to
stand firm and tight it out to the laat.
On came the Turks with hoarse yells of
triumph, and in a moment the whole apace
outside the churchyard wall was a sea of
grim fames and flashing steeL
And now the swarming assailants made a
third charge, which brought them right up
to th'e foot of the wall that sheltered all who
were left of the defenders; and while some
hunciered upon the gate with axes, others
planted ladders againat the wall or tried to
clamber up it On each other's shoulders.
Another moment and all would have been
over; ; but just then Lizzie, struck with a
bright idea (which cams to her from an old'
story that she had heard one winter. even-
ing),; darted back into her little garden,
seized two of the beehives, one in each'
band, and springing upon the low wall,
hurled them among the swarming assail.
ants. Two more instantly followed, and
then other two, until the whole dozen
hives had been flung down upon the heads
of the clambering Turks. ,, ,
The bees, enraged to Madness lie being
sent whirling through the 'air so uncere
moniously, fell like furies upon the shaven
heills and bare arms of" the Turkish sold
and geke 'them, such a pricking that
the Saxon arrows which had been falling so
thick assent there seemed a Mere nothing
in comparison. Every man in the , front
rankswas literally black with the infuriatas
-
ed insects, Which kept stinging the more
fiercely the more the bewildered Turke
tried to beet them off.
There wae no more thought} of battle or

said Mackenzie would kill the Raiser. The
Kaiser died, and the German doctors ad-

her sympathy will give her no rest until
she has secueed their rightful comfort."

At the late Episcopal Conference held in
Manchester, England, the wildest, or what
till lately has been euppbsed to be the wild-
est possible talk was indulged in, and was,
instead of being rebuked, received with en-
thusiastic cheers. For instance at one of
the sittings of the Congrese, Archdeacon
Ferrer repudiated, with all the force of his
'conviction, what was until a few years ago
the general and orthodox idea of eternal pun-
ishment, as being dishonorable to the view
which God had given of Himself, subversive
of the full blessed salvation, fundamentally
opposed to their unsophisticated ideas of
justice as well asof mercy, and abhorrent to
the natural reason and consciousness of
mankind. (Cheers.For himself the one
text, "God is love," was sufficient to dis-
prove the doctrine of endless torment.
(Cbeers.) When he offered up a prayer
that God might have mercer upon all men,
he did not think that he was offering a hope-
less and impossible petition inconsistent to
God's justice, or beyond the power of the
mercy which triumphed over justice. (Re-
newed cheers.) The Rev. Sir George W.
Cox, York, contributed a paper in which he
said that half a century ago they would
have told glibly and summarily that death
was for man the limit of divine merest, and
that all who died without repentance would
be subjected after the judgment to ineen-
ceivable and endless agonies. They had
escaped from this evil dream. The beliefs
now or lately prevalent with referenoe to
-the so-called "last things" were plainly
contradicted by the language of the greatest
and most illustrious teachers of Christendom
from the earliest ages. Rev. W T. Hobson
maintained there was nothing in the Scrip-
tures to teach that the soul of man was
absolutely immortal. Mr J. R. Graham
said the doctrine that some would be lost
and not the many was free from the hideous
Calvinism of Spurgeon, the gross material -
Nth of certain Roman Catholics and the
wild, reckless speculation of the Christ-
ian World. (Hear, hear) Dr. Randall
desired to make a solemn protest against
the soil destroying heresies thet had
that afternoon been spoken. Like the
great mass of the people, he held the old
faith rather than thee orude theories of
modern. assurance. (Cheers and dissent.)

sante church fellowship there SeeMS little

Mr. Bright on. Public Speaking.
The London Times says :—The Rev. G.
E. Cheeseman has received the following
letter from Mr. Bright. Mr. Cheeseman
wrote to the righb hon. gentleman and
sought his advice as to various methods of
preparation for public speaking—namely
(1) writing speeches ;and treading them; (2)
writing and comraitting to memory ; (3)
sketching the heads of the topic and
trusting to the inspiration of the moment
for the wordein which to clothe the thought.
Mr Bright, in reply, said :—" As to modes
of preparation for speaking, it seems to me
that every nran would readily discover what
suits him best. To write speeches and
then to commit them th memory is, as you
term it, a double slavery, whioh I could not
bear. To speak without preparation, wipe-
cielly on great and solemn topics, is rash -
nes, And cannot be recommended. When I
ntend to speak on anything that seems to
me important, I oonsider what it is that I
wish to impress upon my audience. I do
not write my facts or my arguments, but
make notes on two or three or four slips of
note paper, giving the line of argument and
the facts as they occur to my mind, and I
leave the words to come at call while I am
speaking. There are occasionally short pag-
ing= which, for accuracy, I may write
down, as sometimes also—almost invariably
—the concluding words or sentences may be
written. .This is very nearly all I can say
on this question. The advantage of this
plan ts that while it leaves a certain and
sentient freedom to tho speaker, it keeps
kite within the main lines of the original
plan upon which the speech was framed, and
w'hat he says therefore is more likely to be
°creosol) and' hot wandering and diffuse.

A Tropical Night at Sea.
Night : steaming towards the equator,
with Demerara Per a goal. A terrifio warm
wind that compels the takiag in of every
awning arid wind -sail. Driving tepid rain.

phosphorescence ofthe sea whioh to -night
displays extraordinary radence.
Oar wake is a great broad seething river of
fire, whiter than strong moonlight; the
glow is bright encugh to read by. At its
centre the trail is brightest ; at the edge it
pales cloudily, ourliug like a =then of
phosphorous. Great therp lights burst up
momentarily through itlike meteors. Weir-
der, however, than this' wake of strange
light are the long slow fires that keep burn-
ing about us, at a distance, out in the dark.
Nebulous inoandeticences arise, change form
and peas; serpentine flames wriggle bythen
there are longbillowing crests of fire. These

the South American coast.
Morning. The light of en orange-ooloured
min illuminates, not a blue, but a greenish -
yellow, sickly ' sea—thick, foul, glaaay
smcoth. We are in the shallows. The line -
caster keeps calling, hour after hour, "And
a half four, sir r Quarter less fivet sir 1"
.Tnere is little variation in his soundings—
always a quarter of a fathom or half a fath-
om difference. The air has a sickly heavi-
ness, like the sir above a. swamp.

olive and. brownish tones alternately; the
foam looks viscous end yellow; our wake is
ochre -coloured, very yellow and very shiny -
looking. It seems unnatural that a blue
sky should hang over so hideous' a waste of
water; it seems to demand a gray blind sky,
such gray and such green being the colours
of a frestewater inundation. We are only
five or six degrees north of the equator.
Very low the laud lies before us ; a thin dark
green line, suggesting marshiness, miasma,
paludal odour; and always the natteeona
lolour of the water deepens.
