There isanothot• thought whfolh is of the obedient character of the sheep here meant, It is the idea that " Untl is omnipotent," This idea, hold in confidence, has made you strong in yourself. The most obedient thoughts you have are your thoughts of God. Jesus when speaking of sheep refers entirely to ideas of God. It is itl00s of God which if you shepherd well, will get you into that state of (mrd called heaven, when you have health, judgment, prosperity. Jeans Christ was sere that His doctrine was the door, and everybody else's the climbing in some other way, They had all before Him prov- ed themselves thieves and robbers. 'Why? They had robbed neon and woolen of health, judgment, and prosno(ity. Ninety years before Him there had ridden through the streets of Rome, Pompey, proclaimed con• quoror of the whole world. Mae hundred cities, 1.000 castles, 800118d ; long linos of manacled captives, with heads hung low end speechless tongues, sightless eyes, broken hearts. There w"s splendid triumph for Pompey, and the nI ti 1118 shouter' his greatness. But Jesus Cho ist said that was not the doctrine that would make heaven manifest on the earth. IIis doctrine wa8 the only " door." His doctrine would bind 1p the broken. hearted, loose the dumb tongues, unstop deaf ears, open Minot eyes, lift up the cast down heads. :Not only that, but all over the universe you might look for captivity where His doctrine had been preached (or His door (opened) and }an would not find captivity itself for He had " sod eaptvity captive." Whoever has any bondego to anything whatsoever, believes more in Pompey's doctrine than in Jeers Christ's. For Pom• ppoy believed in bondage, but jeans Christ believediu freedom. ,Jesus Christ was sure II0 had the only doctrine that wooed sot ab. snidely free. A locksmith is sure ho hos the only combination that will open the safe. If another man has the same oombnetion he eau get in ; otherwise not, Jesus Christ knew His doctrine to be the only door into safety. you', of where the diamond was found—among ".els you do," I said forcing a smile, "I the fresh earth adhering to the trowel—shall mean—as you laugh at of :" He looked at me dtentively as if some- thing in my planner lath struck him as un- usual.

Yes. it seems that they discovered this tunnel yesterday, and without explor- ing it very thoroughly, suspected it might load to the fort, and watched it, from that time and all night, by turns. No one approached it until the much -hour, to -day, when they both—Ashton and Fordyce—saw yon and your Ulan near the entrance. Then, as they suppose, will a view to discovering how far the tunnel had yet to penetrate before reaching the fort, the man crept inside, and you walked to- wards the fort until within a few yards.

When I had ended, he looked towards Ashton and Fordyce. ' You found this tunnel yesterday after- noon, you say gentlemen?" " We did, sir, and we watched all night 01(11 all clay I today, one or the other of us :,kept near it." The chief mused for a moment, his stern old face masked and inscrutable as that of the Sphinx. " Did yon leave any one on guard at the tunnel when you came to ale first, to report? Who is there now?" Tho two officers looked r little foolish, " We did not post a sentry there after cliseovering the—tulllelo•s," said Ashton, somewhat lamely. "It will be time enough in the evening." Well, gentlemen," said the colonel in his short decisive manner, " I do not see why Campbell should not have found out this well as you, with intentions Ire ill• tun eel as t 1 J , mooed as your own," The officers were silent, " It seems to me that you failed in your duty when you diol not report south an ion. portant discovery to 100 last night.

Rankeilor, I sincerely beg your p0rdon for having suspected you!" I held out my hand ; and he grasped it warmly, "It VMS natural," he said ; ' but I could not bear to toll yon lo„' I had lost my mother's beautiful gift ; and until my next remittance from (tome, I know I should not be able to redeem it. That was my reason for asking if you- could lend me any money," " And 1 could not," I said ruefully. " But, Rankeilor, 11012- can you bemire 11(11 Ashton and Fordyce art the defaulters?" "I'll tell you how," he answered readily. "And if I am not mistaken, the chief guess- es it as shrewdly as I clo.

' And let's 'snake a com- pact firm and sure' to help each other, and these young fledglings in our corps to escape from the snares of such fowlers as Ashton and Fordyce, Shoal we?" "I shall never play for money again while five, ' I said firmly. " And I don't think I can ever distrust you again, Rankeilor." It was impossible for any one to guess whether Colonel Pryor suspected anything unusual in receiving the resignation of two officers on the same day. He could )seep hie 01211 counsel—nano better !

The necessity which enforces the use of wad tight tubes for the purpose is attended inoidoetally by great advantages. The author stated that the tubas would be " of iron or steel in so for as the primary all essential eletnooto of their slruoture aro concerned ;and this at once, told obviously, relieves us almost entirely, if notal together, of the cost, the difficulty, the delay, and the danger of doing our construction work at the BOTTOM OP THE SLA, These tabor can bo perfectly well built by one shipbuilders and engineers, and partly by those of 11'an00, just las ships alio built, but with much 'rentor oounony.
