The feathered descendants of Elijab’s

The region round about the city walls
seemed to me white with cotton suchaa
Theuius describes as once growing them,
and sweet with sugar cane, and luscious
with orange and fig: and pomegranates.
and redolent with such tin-a asceu only
grow where a tropical sun kisses the earth.
And the hour came back to me when in
the midst of all that. splendor Herod died,
commanding his sister Salome immediate-
ly after his death to secure the ”lasing-
tion of all the chief Jews whom he had
brought to the city and shut up in a circus
for that purpose, and the news came to the
audience in the theatre as some one took
the stage and announced to the excited
multitude: “Herod is dead! Herod ll
dead!”
Then in my dream all the pomp of
Jericho vanhhed, and gloom was added to
gloom, and desolation to desolation, and
woe to woo, until, perhaps the rippling
waters of the Fountain of Elisha suggest-
ing it—un sounds will sometimes give
direction to a dream—l thought that the
waters of Christ’s salvation and the
fountains “open for sin and uncleanncns"
were rolling through that plain and
across that continent, and rolling round
the earth, our“ on either side of
their banks all the thorns became
flowers, and all the deserts gardens, and
ulltbo bovels mansions, and all the fu-
nerals bridal processions, and all the blood
of war was turned into dahliua, and all
the groans became anthems, and Daqu
"inferno" became Dana's ”Divinn Com.
media,” and "Paradise host" was sub-
merged by "Paradise' ltcgained,” and tears
became crystals. and cruel swords some
out of foundries glistening plowsharcs.
and in my dream at the blast of a trumpet
the prostrated walls of Jericho rose again.
And some one told me that asthese walls

of doom went down, now at the sounding
trumpet of the gospel they come up

and he said, "I out the name" rimu you

him, and my dream broke and I realized It
was only a dream, but a dream whicbahull

is true and Christ’s gospel is the World’s

A curious case is ahortl y to come before

of a man for the theft at the hand of a
woman who had been dead twenty years.
The story in connection is a most remark-

It was noticed that the coffin was six-
traordinarily heavy, and to uncertain the
cause it was opened, when it was found
that the body had completely turned to

place when like was barely forty, was a
