aipiitics tn force one'a fell to do romt- tliiiiR agrainst n.itiire. JoKepli oouM nn longiT consitrain himaelf. The acverity ot the inflexible tn.lgisii-nte givc.ii w.iy tn the natural feelinRs of the man and the brother. "To go out." That ie, all nf the Eiri-|)li«n». Thi^ wna. 1. In onler that he might (rive free ami full «io;^o to Ilia fcelingii. 2. It was the pnrt of pni- (lencc to prevent the i.ias of his brethren from beeominff known.
2. -Wept. nlou'I." From the fulness of hi(^hly excited emotions. This is the usiml way in which <>rienf«ls express excited feelinRB.,,"Heard." Thin mny mesn the scn'ania'who may Imve been within tho sound of hiu voiee, or ''the words may onlv signifv that the reisnrt was brouiiht to rhnrnoh'a house."    V. 10.
3. "1 am Joseph." The natural voii-e. the nntive tongue, the lo'.ig reniemliered fealuree, would all st once strike the sp- prehcnsion of the brothers. "Troubled." Thev betrnycd their terror by ahrinkin* ns far ns they could from his presenc^e. ihe memory of the aina they had loin- niittcd snainRt .Toseph came mmn them wilh p-fiit force. They were creatlv «ur- [irisenlo find their brother on nn ICgypt- tail throne. Thty hneiv they were in his power. II hc fhouhl trcnt them a« they hnd treated liin there wmild 1-e no hope for them.
4. "t'ome nenr lo me." Ile invites them lo his free fnvor. fo our Joseph in the tiospel bids i|» eome In Hira. The cos- pel messniKf it, "Come unto Me;" it is the entreaty of love. "!<oM into Kitypt." It wss iiuiiossible to evade allusion to their early wickedness, but this J^weph does in a spirit uot cf angry nphr.iidin<t, bul ef elevat"d pietv and tender charity. Christ remindeil reter of his fin iu order to ehow how full anil complete was th.- forgiTCiiem. Johu 21; i;i7.
IS. "Ilo nut pricvcd." He spoke ef their having sold him—not to wound their feelingw, but to (onvince them of his iden¬ tity; and then t.i rcnspurc thcii- luiiidH li- traced the nircncy of an overruling M¦l1^•i- dencc in his exile nnd i're«ent hoiinr. "Did send me." fJod used their evil to neeonipiish Hi« purpose. Ile ilid nut need Iheir evil; He has a thousand wnya of «c- eomplishing His ends. "To prcnerve life." Not only yonr live*, but the K(,Titti!!iis and the people of the neighborinx coun¬ tries. The jirineiples Inid down by Joseph nre, I. That while ainners are cncour- aiieil to hojie in Rod's mercy, they are left without c.\iu«o for their (in. 2. Tbnt (iod is able lo m.ike uso of the wicked actions of wicked men for the advance¬ ment of His work.
6. "Neither bo rnriiiu.'' , "8haU lie neither plowing nor harvest.'' <R. V.) "K.Tr" in an old Engliah word meaning to plow.
7. 'flreat deliverance." Tliat ie. that you. who nre row but a hitndful, escaping thin danger, might grow into a vast nuilti- lude.
8. "Father lo I'linraoh." "His priuii- pal counselor of state, and to have the nu¬ tliority. resi»ect and power of a liither with /lim  "
9. "Cili np to mv father. " "lie desires Ihat   his   father  nlielit  speedily   be   made
Klud with the tidings ut hi's Ufe and onor."'
II). "Und of Goshen." Probably this distillt hid been allotted tu Joseph by Ihe king of I'^ypt. else we can scarcely tliink he could have promised it so posi¬ tively, wiJ-hout lirst obl.iining Phnraoh's consent. Goshen a-nt a pai-t of >^ynt, east of the Nile, well watered and lit lor enttle,_ and therefore most proper f.ir the InrselitCH. not onlv for jirosent use, but Hls.i Ihnt in Ood's lime thev riislit with the leant di»advnnta(.e return to Canaan. It was v.iv fi-rti!.-. fir it wus staleil to be the be^t of the hind of kjjviit.
11. "Nouiinii thee." It is thr duty of children, if the necessity of their psnnN doen lit any time re^iuire it, to auna.-'rt und supply them to the utIn.^^^ of tlieir nbil- ity. "And thy liousohold." In veme Is Joseph Bpenks of "their hnuseholds.'' showing that each of the pntrianha hat] now his own family, Iiesides the slid larj^er family Tielonging to .Tnrob.
12. "My mouth.'' I'p to this liinie he had spoken l.i litem through nn interpre¬ ter, but now he s^ieake in the llcbi-ew tongue.
n. "All mv glory." Ife ciiioins this not out of pride, lul from love to hi^ aged fnther. knowing what pleasiiic it would give him. It would also be an a..i.iirniice to hfs father t'lat the promises trade could be carried out, ami it would make it easitr for the ten sons to eoufess the crime, ami deceit of the pant. "Ye shall haste." It hail been twenlvtwo years since .Toseph lisd seen his fatlii'r, and it was onlv natural for hiiii iu ask tbein io hasten tlieir j.iurney.
14. "Ilia brother.'' Ilenjamlii was the only une who aae full brother to Joiieph.
1.1. "Kissed all his brethren. " As a token of love and forgiveness. "Talked wilh him." "They were now at rest, the past forgiven, the preaent full of hope, snd they etiuld now (ell Ihe thousand things Josenh wished to know about them, and Icam his bistory from him so aa to repeat the marvelous lala to their father "

FIRESIDE   FANCIES.
Here, hsnd in hand, we sit to-night. Flnshci in the Iwwood's ruddy light. While red coals glow aud blue flaines leap And hot sap sings and rrickeu cheep.      ' Outaide we hear the wild winds call And down the pjine we see anowflskea fall, While winter, like a hungry hound, UunIa over hills with bay and bound.
A palace in the brilliant fires Hears garnet walls and golden spires, And msny a labyrinthine mate Bedecked with opal hearts ablaie. The smoke, an ature banner, curls O'er halls of rubies nnd of pearls: Blue sapphire turrets flnme and flnrc, And jasjK'r columns glow and glare.
Here, hand in h.-ind. my love nnd I Lift to the wild winds whistling b> ¦. We hear Ihe sap sing, crickets cheeji, And sei' the lithe bine hlszes leap. And then, as chill a-iniis whistle on. We talk of youthful days long gone Of love that laughed through summer days, Th^i left us treading thorny a-ays.
To-night our hearts, like brands aglow, Are burniug in a world of snow; Kor in your love is summer peace And summer joys that never cease. I kiss you. take yonr hand in mine. And feel my sordid soul divine. f,et earthly wealth ond glory be. Hnt leave you. precioaa, still wilh mc.
^o here we sit, still hand in hand.
And tread a wondrous fairy-lanil—-
The kingdom of a lover's dreams.
With'   bVomy    woods    and    murmuring
fitrenms. Still let the wild winds shriek and shout, Htill set the Hying snows to rout; I care not where my feet may be When God has put you, love, with me. —Walter Malone.
FOU (lays the river hail In'cn rising. The Irveeii above were goue for niles nnd intleH, and the uiad watorK b.til Iwept over the banke, cirrylng fnr- Innes nud evon IIvob liefore liiciu. On one of the big plantutlouii opiioRito Sliroveiiort, I.ii., evory effort wan ln'- .ng made to nllbsland tho flood.

It was alinoBt dunk, but tho mon wbo Bad not restoil for days worked with Ihe Btiength of frc^ili vicor ug tlie voloa )f Tom Aikou, tbo planter, dlrectjil Ihoni nnd cheered Iboui un to the task wbicli seoniiHl bu hopcIo.':B an tho water :rept steadily blfihov nnd higher.
Hut for the fact tbnt overy one wan ousy with bis work, a lltllo (cloiiil boy, wlio suddenly dioppcil blH upailo ind elole away between tlio wbools >f the big eautl wagou, might bavo beou soon iis lie scurried .iway arouud Ibe curve In the ombauUiueut. Ho ran julckly nloiig for a full Quurtoi- of n mile without looking back dowu tlio aarrow, slippery road tbat was loft tictwcen tho cotton row.s iiud llie lovoo. The boy slBOkeuod bis paoo wbon lio liecame convinced that no ouo was In pUTBUlt of bim, and aB ho did na ho heard tbe loud, cheery voice of Tom AlUon back nt tbo break, ".\1I worii logctbor, iKiys!''
In his eagoincBS lo reach the eovotod jonl the boy quickened ble pace again. It was uow nluioBt dark, but bis cyiii bad grown accustomed to iho gloom. fie could see the ourviug line of tfco levee which Boonicil to tremble with ii premoultlou of Its own hLidoqiiaoy. He could ueo all Iho water puolB In the road. Ills Uttlo logn bad moasr.iod perhaps n mile more when the onilu- Dus roar of the river made him stop sud jieer over the lovee nt the runbiiig watorp.
Ab he scramblod up the slippery bank n clod of loosonod carlli fell boavliy into the road luduw, and througli tho DrlUco wiiluli It loft a llllle stieaiii of inuildy wntor trioUloil. 'i'lio boy cauijbt Ills breath (pilokly when tiio wntor ran over his hand.
Ilo excIaliiiiKl: "Hoio's gwiue to lio a break right h?n'. Wbat 1 givliio dj':"
Ue stopped to roconsider.

Whnt wns lo be douv must bo done at ouco. Tho boy knew lliat a Croat responsibility rested upou hini. If the Ilttio upeuing woro uot slopped Immediately It was only a (luoslluii of • few inomontB before thu whole levee would be swept uway.
He Btoml up and lonkod about bim. There was no oue In sight. Ue thought bo might find n bng of sand drnpi><<d by a passing wngon. but there waB none. With sudden purpose be turu»d aud sat down over tho little crevice through which Ihe water came. Tbe soft earth yielded to bis weight, and wllh bis hands and feot ho pivssed II about hlni. palling It tu make It llrni. The ditticulty bail been solved with out hlH rolilinn nlmost. It was only after It was done Hint he thought uf the conseniieuoos. Ho calculated In bis uiircHsuniug way that It wus ^ o'clock. How lung would In- have lu louinln tlu'te? Fur aught be knew till luoruing. He began tu Kuffer by ami by from his ernuiiieil imsltluu. bui ho dared nut luuve eveu tbe least bit Ion Ille cn'Vlee sbuuld open a;;ain.
Ho oiiuld not tell bow thne passed. He eouUI not hear the shouts of tin- nii'U below. Tbere was only now and Uun the lioi.t of un owl rising .ibovo Ibc roor ot tho water ur tbo swish as a clod of earth was suoketl iuto tbo mod current. He wishoil bo h:i<l luit run nway from bis work.

"Yes, sir; but burry back, boss," answered the lioy.
As Alken turned to remount he heard the sound of boat wheels nrouud the curve nnd tbe whistle sounded out hoarsely.
"Hy George?" exclaimed Alken. "There's u bont. and three mon? Inches of water will lop the levee bere and then all Is lost."
In a fow moments the bont rounded the curve aud the big lights shone out luross the waters.
"The Marsden," Alkeu said, as he saw Ihe two smokoslaokB, "with Mor¬ ton at tbe wheel. I shall hnve to Qght fur It."
^'o saying, be picked up his gun from wbere be bad dropped It when he dis- luouufed nnd strode on n few paces uji stream tu  meet tbe iioat.
"Steer for the other side!" he called out wheu the boat was In balling dis¬ tance.
"I'm running this machine," respond¬ ed the coarse voice ot Morton, "and I guess the river Is free!'

AM   OVERWHELMIN;;   VICTORY.
Oeneral Jackson's Defeat   of the   Uritlsh at New Orleans.
He had ailaeked Ike British advance lu tho ulglit of Ihelr arrival (I)eeeui- bor 23), on the Mississippi, had resist¬ ed their counter attack on the 28th, ll.id dismounted their guns and demob Ished their ballerles by the superior accuracy of his fro. when they (ipenod nu arilllory duel on Jauuary 1, and wben thoy rashly attacked his In- troucbments across an opi'n Held on Jaiuwry .S, l;ls backswoods riflemen mowed Ibem down at loss thnn 20ii yard.s as Iho mower cuts Ihe grass. Of four iiinjor-genornls preseut two. including rakenham, wore killed and a I bird wouuded. In one ivglnient ,"iO."i wero kllTod or wouuded out of a lotnl of 775. The losses uf tin' whole com¬ mand were L'o.lfl, out of iKXIO engaged. Jackson lost only eight killed aud Iblr- leen wonnded on his own side of the river, and counting Iho losses In Mor- g.in's command on Ihe west bauk tbo aggregate wus only soveuty-one. It Is bard to fiud In military ununls a roeonl of n defeat so complete, under such un¬ favorable circumstances. Ou the Brit¬ ish side were regular troops, the vet¬ erans of Salamanoo. and Badajos, and t'U'.dad Itodrlgo. ounimanded by ofti- rors specially selected for their skill aud experience In actual war: while Jai'kson eommanded tbe most plclur- osquo nnd motley aggregation ever lirought together; two regiments of regulars, two brigades of bai-kwoods- iiioii. forming the niilltin of Kintucky Mil Tennessee, a battalion of free ne- 1,'roos. n dotaelimenl of Lalllle's plr ati'S, n squad of Frencli soldiers who had served under Napoleon, a linltal- ion of San Domlugans. another of I.uulsinDa Creoles, some sailors, snd Jncksun towering above I hem all, rid¬ ing the whirlwind and "by the Eter¬ nal" bringing order out of chaos. Nothiug was lacking to heighten the dramatic effect, and In these threo weeks Jackson gained n popularity among the masses of his countrymen which no error or Indiscretion during the subsequeut twenty-two years of his public life could ever shake or di¬ minish. He remained lu roiumnnd nt New OrlejiBS nfter Ihe liuse of Ibe war. being retained In the army In the reductlou of ISlTi as one of Ihe two luajor-generals.—Ueneral F. V. tJreeuo, in ScrllJher's.

INFLUENCE OF TROLLEY
IT   IS    INDUCING    CITY    FOLKS    TO MOVE   TO  THE   COUNTRY.

It Is noticeable to those who study the statlsttos of the census tbat the rate of Increase of our large cities Is becoming less, and while tbe ratio of urbau population Is larger tban It ever was before Iu the bistory of tbe eouu¬ try, yet If one puts aside the false data due to the enlargement of city boundaries and the absorption of sub¬ urban districts within munlclpsl Hu¬ lls, It Is very noticeable that the rnte of increase of population In Ihe denser centres bas become less.
Tbe reason fur this Is fouud In Ibe general extension of two applications cf electricity, wblle a Ijlrd bns played no Ineonsldemtle part. The trolley car has perhaps baen tbe larg¬ est agent In the redistribution of popu¬ lallou, making it possible for the peo pie to live nt considerable dlstanein nway and enjoy the very great rd- vantages cf urtan life. This Is par Hcularly uottci^able la clUcs if li .¦ Intermediate size. Twenty years uki cities ot the second class wore lur.ili conileui.'d In urea for the reason thai practically every cnc wnlked to nud frou Uls place of wor!;. :;ud fer this reasoa iho residence nre.is erowdii' upon th? liiislneES districts ss e' is-iy ns possible. The horse car of i!i'isi ilays was nt best a poor tbiug, nr.d It wns not until tbo ooming of the swift¬ er trolley that It was possible for tbe ordinary vjan ot business or laborer ta ll\-c inoro tban half a mile, or aucb ;: matter, frcm tho scene ot his dnlly task. Tc-day nil thst Is changed, aud as li consequence the residence dletrb't l:i nil such cities bas rastly exteuded. and peoplo not nni'oininonly live nuy- where from ten to twenty miles rwny from their plnces of businesi<.
T.) ilouble the radius ot a city raenns lo InciTnse Its area four limes. Tliir Irclley, by its duplication nnd trlpll- outlon of tbe city radius, has eufibled i( ry large territories to be Included III the suburban districts uf towus, with tbe result that bouses have plen¬ ty of room nround them, the ix'ople .Tre LO longer compelled to live close to¬ gether, nml to tills degree a very Im¬ portant social revolution has lieen wrought, and, Indeed, Is still tu pro- oesH ot extension. No one can deny the benefits <>t a freer life aud llii' Immense social, sanitary niiifcolber ad- vnutagcH which have followed Iho In¬ troduction ot the trolley car, and the conBequent extension ot residence neighborhoods.
F.ut another agency baa uot been !i',!o. Till' iii-iuoiiial elijectlon to cnun¬ lry life has been Its loneliness and tho absence of those I'onvenlences wbicli dilTereuciate the city bouse from Ihc country resldAce. The lonelluess, by \,hloli iB meant tbe lack of Intoicourse v.'lth iielgliUois. has been lu n grent degree removed by tbe telephone. I'er- haps the best work that the Indi-peud- eul telephone uiovement bas nccoiu- plished bns been the pojiularizullon ui Iho lelepbono aud Ita Introduction ul low rales Iulo sparsely-setlled nelgli- borhuods. thus removing tbe bugbiur of b.iolatlon which has heen so loug a complaint of the rural resident. But Hie telephone has done more fur thuse living Id the country and In the couu¬ try districts surrounding cllles than to furuisb tbem a meaus tor soehil conversation. It has proved ilroli n very praetleal und valuable addition lu the fniiuer's means for malting a living. By putting hlni In lininedliiti> touch with hiB murkets, whether for holUug or for buylug, It enables him to conduct bis business In a much more buslness-llko wuy than formerly, when the Isolated gardener or truckman loaded bis vehicle in tbe early hours of tbe morning wllh tbe produee of bis fields nnd drove to towu without the slightest Idea uf what be would r.colvo for It or whether he would soil It nt all.
Wilh the telephone nullifying fbe ItHilnllon of Ibc country districts ami Ihe trolb'y car providing quick and In¬ expensive means of IranHlt, the sub¬ urbs have become. In a sense, part of the tuwn. It Is no lunger a case of ins In urbc, but rather the reverse; fur the towu has gone Into the country nud carried witb It those two Import¬ ant agencies, wbile not far bebimi eoines the electric light making at onoe more pleasant and more sate the blghways and lanes uf the country districts.
While Isulntlon was annoying under the older regime It also bsd Its dan¬ gers on nccount of the exposure of valuable property In suburban dis¬ tricts to tbe attacks of those who piowl by night. Everyliody knows llial oue are light Is as good as two policemen, aud thus the extension of ileclrle ligbt In Ihe suburban districts lias mnile Ihem better plaofs of resl- iliiiees  In  two dist luet  ways.
It Is unnecessary to seek tuitber tbo lensouB for tbe deceutrallEatlon of poi ulatinn. or the extension teiTilorl ally of cltleB or the lni-n>aalng urniy uf p<.,iplo who have left !ho town fur the lountry so fur ss their places of a bode uro concemeil. And yet It is conceivable that we have seen only the bi'gliining of the changes wblch Inevi¬ tably will follow the extension ot elee¬ lrie uillitles, and we may even louk forward to tbe practical dlsappear- ani'e ot cities as plac(« of residence In the future nud the redistribution uf pupiilutkin in a inure salisfactnry. sanitary ami altogether desirable way Ihruugh Ihe effect ot Ibe eleetrbul agencies referred to above.—tleotrl Illi   Kevlew.

The speecb which has caused tbe disgrace nnd downfall of Bullet cnnsed a great sensation all over Eng¬ land. Iu It be expressed bis condero- natlou ot the newspaper criticisms ot men wbo were doing Ihelr liest and risking tbeir lives tor tiMi country. He asserted tbat nobody junior to him was fitted lo command an army corp* and he challenged the critics to name one. Oeneral Buller said be bad been attacked on account ot a telegram which It was said he bad sent onler- ing General White to surrender I.4idy- siiiith nfler bis (Ruller'sl attack on Colenso, on Peeemlier 1.1, 1000, had re¬ sulted nnsnccessfully. General Buller described his own and General White's dlffiraltles at that time. He aald tbat at tbat Ilme be prepared a measage telling General Wblte tbat bla (Bnl- ler'si nttack had failed and be could not mnke nnother attempt to relieve him within a montb In Ibe tben slow fighting.
General Buller said be read this telegram over several lime;, saying lu himself: "That's a mean tbing to send n fellow," but be knew tbe re- sponsililllly was his, nnd Ibat General White could say. It he surrendered, that Geui'ral Buller bad advised It. The same telegram suggested Ihat It might 1h> necessary to surrender, and In that case General Buller made some suggestions as to wbat General White should do and how he sbould do It, Iblnking tbat It would be cover for a man whom he iH'lleved to be In greater dlfflcultles than his own.
The I.iOUdon newspapers were dl- t'lded In their opinions of Unllei's spe«icb. A majority ot tbem.
