I learned the following benul'ful
poem from ilie vein ruble Iloriice
VV . Cannon, deceased,, an old and
ceKpcc-iuskob rzan.iriul ^publish 1 !fo
same by request. It. S. Sanders.
In slumbering sleep I lay one night
upon my bed.
A vision very groat nr a thought
came in my head.
I thought of the day of doom, and
doubtless it had cornu.
For Christ himself was there, “to
summons old and young.”
And I myself was called by a trump
ot loud and shrill.
Saying every soul must rise, “ho
tLoir sentence good or ill.”
The.i trembling with fear and lit
tle did I know,
Unto Christ, His mercies great, I
trusted and did go.
I had not been there long before
old Satan came,
Dressed up in his filthy robe, and
my sins he brought along.
He laid them before the Lord, and j
said I was his own,
My sins being full and great, fot
many had I done.
1 hen said our blessed Saviour,
“Oh, I will end this strife,
I’ll see if thb sinner’s name is not in
the Book of Life.”
The book of life was brought and
many leaves unfold,
“Lol -here's tbe sinner’s name in
letters wrote with gold.”
Then murmuring old «utun stood,
all in a dismal plight,
And said unto the Lord: “Your
indictments are not right.”
Then said J^our blessed Savior,
“Why, old satan, why?
You know very well, for pocr sin
ners I did die.
I died to redeem the world which
once was lost to thee,
And to save ull fpithful souls who
truly trust in me.”
MEANING OF THE WORD BOER.
The southern part of Africa,what
is now called Cape Colony, wqs
originally settled by the Dutch
East India Company about the
year 1652. They first sent farm
ers and gardeners to cultivate the
land in the viciniy of Capetown*
The Dutch word for farmer pf
“boor,” hence the settlers in South
Africa were called boors. Tfie
Dutch planted several settlements,
which grew and became a flourish?,
ing colony. In I898 war was do?
dared between Great Britian and
Holland. The British government
sent an expedition to South Africa,
which took possession of the couh* -
try with very littlejrouble. When
a treaty of peace was mude witli
Holland in 1802, however, the col
ony was ceded back to Holland.'
But in 1805 war broke out again
between Great Britian and Holland!
and again a British expedition'
came and took posession of tbe
country. Soon after an English
governoi was appointed for the cob'
ony and he whs so severe and un
just in his treatment of the Dutch
hoersthey began 1o feel very bitter
toward tlie English. This treat
ment ol the Dutch farmers - contin
ued for many jmfrs. An English

of this century. say*: “It is nut.*,

pleasant admission for an English
man to make, but it is the truth,
that it would be difficult to find in
any part of the world a people with
so much to be discontented as the
inhabitants of Cape Colony for
many Years after the fall of the
ministry of Earl of Liverpool,
There was sympathy whatever
shown towards them by the au
thorities in England, in fact there
was a decided antipathy, which
was fostered by the so-called phil
anthropic societies, then at the
height of thoir power. The most
outrageous stories concerning the
colonists were circulated by men
who boro the little of christnin
teachers, and nothing was too
gross to beleived in Enghud until
the word “ Boer,” came to be re
garded as u synonym for an ignor
ant and heartless oppressor of the
colored people.”
The English government became
so oppressive in 1886 several thous
and boors abandoned their farms,
placed their household goods in
wagoiis and emigrated across the
river Vaal, the northern limit of
Cape Colony. Their hardships
and trials in this emigration wore
fully as great ns those of the Pil-
grim Fathers in New; England.
Soon after the emigration they or
ganised a republican government,
which is sometimes called the*
Transvaal Republic. This little
republic was soon involved in a
senos of wars with the savages, in
which they showed great hardihood
nd bravery. In 1852 Great Brit
ain acknowledged the independ
ence of -the Transvaal Republic.
l*n 1877, lindor a pretense of defend
ing the country from the savages,
the British governor of Cape Col
ony issued a proclamation declar
ing the Transvaal Republic inlSSO
It was in this war, on Feb. 26,1881
at the buttle of Majuba Hill, that.a
considerable force of English troops
was almost entirely wiped out by
the Dutch riflemen. The result
of the witr was the restoration of
of independence to the republic.
Ever since, the Dutoh boers have
celebrated the battle of Majuba Hill
annually. In I869 diamonds were
discovered along the river Vanl
and several years later gold was
discovered in the limits ot the
Transvall Republic. This brought
in a great influx of English and A-
merican prospectors. ‘ The Dutch
were afraid the English immigrants
would attempt an annexation
movement to England. They pass
ed stringent naturalization laws
and imposed heavy taxes on min
ers and on exports of gold. The
English miners and prospectors ob
jected to the heavy taxes imposed
by the republic and asked the Brit
ish Government to force the Trans
vaal Republic to grant them relief.
This is tbe cause of the present diffi
culty. The Dutch claim that Great
Britain has long wanted to annex
their republic and is making the
complaints ot the Uitlanders
(Dutch for foreigners) a pretext
for an invasion and annexation.
They are a brave people and will
fight bravely for their independ
ence.
It is stated by some of our daily
papers that the mining taxes im
posed by the Dntch in Africa arc
- not heavier than those imposed by
Canada in the Klondike.—Word
