Then the women screamed aloud, and battered on the gates with trees so tbat they fell in. They f«-l<, and the women rashed in madly. They seized the Priests of Hathor, and tore them limb from limb as dogs tear a wolf. Now the shrine stood before them. “Touch not the doors,” cried Merla mun. ' Bring fire, and barn tbe shrine with her who dwells therein. Touch not the doors, look not in the Witch’s face, but barn her where she is with fi e.” Then tbe women brought the reeds and the wood and plied them around the shrine to twice the height of a man. They brought ladders also, and piled the fuel upon the roof of the shrine till all was covered, and they poured pitch over the fuel, and then at the word of Mi rlamnn they cost torches on the pitch and drew back screaming. For a moment the torches smouldered, then suddenly on ev ery side great tongnes of flame leaped np to heaven. Now the shrine was wrapped in fire, and yet they cast fnel on it till none might draw near because of the heat. Now it bnraed os furnaces barn, and non the fire reached the fnel on the roof. It caught, and the shrine was bat a sheet of raging flame that lit the white walled city, and the broad face of Nihor, as the sun lights the land. The alabaster wails of tbe shrine turned whiter yet with heat; they cracked and split till tbe fabric tottered to its fall. “New there is surely an end of the Witch,” cried Meriamun, and the women screamed an answer to her. But even as they screamed a great tongue of flame shot out th’ough the molten doers, ten fathoms length and more it Eh j: like a spear of lire. Fail ia its path stood a group of the burners. It struck them, it licked them up, and lei tney fell in biacktLed heaps npon the ground. R-j1 looked down the path of the flame.

' * The Works of “The Dutches.’ A funny thing happened to a weUknown literary woman in this city not long ago, says theNaw York Evening Sun—a woman who is better read in Shakspeare than in Saltns and in Dickens than in the Duchess. Indeed, she has never read a line of this Utter prolific person but she knows the name very well, and having occasion recently to make some slight study of the present English wri ters of fiction she wrote a line to her bookseller, saying: “Please send me the works of‘ The Duchess.’” She thought were probably, three or four of them,TSrs.C_Xhe_next days, .he rat in her study, there came a tap at her dror, and * strange man and Mer maid. were tagging at na enormous package or ^.mathing or other, which they set down umfn the floor, while the strange man handed her a note from her book- seller which read: “Dear madame, we havt pleasure in sending you the works nf ‘The Duchess,’ as you have ordered. “Then,” she said, “I opened the three creat Dockages, and I laughed till I ofied, for un^ my word, the works of “The Dutches’” were comprised in forty three volumes.” A Stroke of Liglitniuj So long as women will be foolish men will be deceptive. One day I sat behind a couple on an Ohio and Mississippi train, and It wasn’t tan minutes before I discov ered that the girl was a village belle who knew nothiug of the world and that hercempanion was a traveler who saw in her a victim. Several others no ticed them as well, but it was hard to see how anything could be done. He profess ed great admiratic for the girl, and she biushlngly queried: “But how do I know you are not a mar ried man?” , “Oh but I assure you on my honor tnat I am not.” „ “Where do you live?” “Iu Louisville.” “And you have neither wife nor cull' dren?” “No." At that Instant the conductor came in with a telegram and called cut the aa cress. “Tnat s for me,” said the man in the seat ahead.

A laughable iUlnstration of how anger causes a man to make himself ridiculous is given in the following incident, from a German newspaper: p.nirAr Rosenthal directed his book keeper to address a sharp letter to Baron Y who had promised several times to pay what he owed, and had as often neg fppVoi] tO dO BO. When the letter was written it did not pleaee Banker Rosenthal, who is very excitable, and he angrily penned the fol- l0 “Dear Baron Y: Who was it that that th’s man was no mo: ta), but a god come from tbe under world Then the Wanaertr mounted the char iot of bronze-that had been m. de ready for Mm, and gave the word to n arch. All that night the host marched swiftly, and at daybreak they camped beneath the shelter of a long, low hlu. But at the sunrise tbe Wancerer left the host, climbed the hill with certain of the cap tains, and looked forth. Before him was a great pass in the mountains, ten fur- ion, s or more in length, and through it ran the road. The sides of the mountain sloped down to the road, and were strewn with recks split by the sun, polished by the sand, and covered over with bush that grew sparsely, like the hair on the limbs of a man. To the left of the meun tains lay the river Sibor, but nene might paes between the mountain and the river. The Wanderer descended from the hill, and while the soldiers ate drove swiftly in his chariot to tbe further end of the pass and looked forth again. Here the river carved to the left, leaving a wide plain, and on the p!ain he saw the host of the Ninebow barbarians, the mightiest host t! a’, ever his eyes bad looked npon. They were encamped by nations, and of each nation there were t wenty thousand men, and beyond the glittering ca np of the barbarians he saw the curved ships ofthe Act a; bb. They were drawn up upon the beach of the great river, as many a year ago he had seen them drawn np on the shore that is by lllioe. He looked npon plate and pass, on mountain and river, ard measured the nun. ber of the foe. Taen all bis heart was filled with the lust of battle, and hii warlike cuanlng awoke. For of all leaders of men he was the most skilled in the craft of bat:l:, and he desired that this, his last war, should be the greatest war cf all. Tumi jg his horses’ heads, he ga loped back to the host of Pharaoh and mus tered them in battlo array. It was but a little numter as agntest the number of the barbarians—12,000 sptarmen, 9,000 archers, 2,t 00 riorbeinea, and 300 chariots. The Wanderer passed up and down their ranks bidding them te cf good caurage, for this day they shou d sweep the bar bari&na from the land. As he epohe a hawk flew down from tue right and fell on a heron and slew it ip mid-air. Tue host shouted, for the H<*wk is the Holy Bird of Ka, and the Wanderer, too, rejoiced in the omen. “Look men,” he cried, “tne bird of Ri has slain Ihe wandering thief from the waters. And so shall ye smite the spo-tere from the sta ’ Then he held counsel with C (plains, and certaia trusty men were sent out te the camp of the barbarians.
