The End.

The course of the wearicst river Ends in the great gray sea;

The acorn, for ever and ever, Strives upward to the tree. j

The rainbow, tie sky adorning, Shines promise through the storm,

The glimmer of coming morning» Throagh midaight gloom will form.

By time all knots are given,

Pear both to you and me.

Then, though the path may be dreary Look onward to the goai;

Thou. |: the heart and head be weary, Let faith inspire the soul;

Seek the right, though the wrong be tempting, Speak truth at any eost ; Vain is all weak exempting Wien once the gem is lost. Let strong hand and keen eye be ready For plain’and ambushed toes; Thoug!i earnest and fancy steady Bear best unto the close.

The heavy clouds may be raining, But with evening comes the light ; a Throuch the dark are low winds complaining Yet che snurise gilds the height ; And love has his hidden treasure For the patient and the pure; And time gives his fullest measure To the workers who endure; And the Word that no law has shaken Has the future pledge supplied ; For we know that when we “awaken” We shall be *‘ satisfied.”

Dick Allen’s Merry Christmas,

Continued.

‘She might haye_ telegraphed,’ he said nlouwd ; ‘she might even have come up to see me. Though how could she,’ he said, @ moment after, ‘ while she’s entertaining alot of people at home? But the might at least have telegraph- ed. Good God, if she'd written to me like that, nothing would have kept me from her!’

Those reflections added to the bitter- ness of poor Dick’s feelings; fot afew minutes more kewwdlked up and down with resolute steps, then suddenly stop- ped for a moment, as.il were to collect himscif, took a bottle from bis breast- pocket, and setting it down on the table broutht a wiae-glass from the pastry. ‘ANS swell Uo it now as at another time,’ thous ht poor Allen, asheheld the glass up to the dightand bean te ponr the laudinum iffto it dyap by drop. He had coun‘ed about thirty drops, when sud-~ denly he heard the first clang ofthe bells commencing theChristmas chimes, Somehow the sound compelled him to stop and listen, and he laid down the battle and glass.” Then, as he listened, he could not help going over.in memory the many times when, on this night of the year, he he had stood ia his iather’s house, with his sister by him,and wish-

thoughts, as becatise they dislike thie thoughts

that all the tribes in his front have risen, and that hid farther advance is consequent- ly impracticable without reinforcements. General Bright is securing what reinfotce ments he can, but does not like to weaken the Kyber line. One and one half regi- ment of “infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and .one regiment of artillery, have leit Peshawar for the front. A reserve division composed of. one British and three native cavalry regiments, and batteries of artillery, is ferming at Peshawar. If tribes do not disperse, on finding that they can make no impression on General Roberts at Cabul, a strong force will be pushed up to reopen the lines of communication.

The Ex-Ameer of Afghanistan. The Times’ correspondent at. Cabul tele- graphs: ‘“The eventual fate of tie Ameer is still undecided. By permission of Gen- eral Roberts, I visited him. He shows in his face signs that the strict confinement to which it has been found necessary to sub- ject him, has not been without effect on his health. He welcomed me as a former ac- quaintance’ of his and a friend of his great friend Sir Louis Cavagnari, with whom, he assserts, he meyer had one moment's disagreement. He was most anxious tu relate after his own fashion the sad events of the 3rd of September. I need not say that according tv his account the outbreak was an unpremeditated act ef the rebellious soldiery, which he was utterly unablesto control and which he deeply de- plored), “‘The"Amter possesses a Very fair acquam tenance with Muropeanand Asiatic) geography, and he made several. shrewd remarks on Russian ‘and Persian’ politics: {t is a pity that, with a considerable foun- dation of education and with an evident power to, receive new and correet impres- sions, heshould, whether willingly or unwil- lingly, Have deprived himself of such a guide as Siry bonis Cavaznari -would have been‘and have lost the opporttnity of estab- lishing his kingdom on the basis of firm friendship-with the British Governmertt.” _-~ eee A ~~ Soe .

to do it, so that no one may know how I died.’ Thenit struck him that thet laudinum he had already poured out would at least procure -himowhat he seldom enjoyed. now—sotod sleep; so filling up the wine-glass with water, he| sat down again by the fire, and in a few mitwites was fast asleep.
