” “ PERSEVERE.”
BY JOHN BROUGHAM
Robert the Bruce in the dungeon stood,
Wiiiiing the liour of doom;
Behind him, ihe palace of llolyrood—
Before him a nameless tomb.
And the foam on his lip was flecked with red,
As away to the past, his memory sped,
Up-calling the day of his great renown
Wheu he won, and he wore, tne Scottish crown.
Yet come there shadow, or come there shine,
The spider is spinning his thread so fine.
•*1 have sat on the royal seat of Scone,”
He muttered, below his breath.
“It’s a luckless change, fro— a kingly throne
To a felon’s shameful death ”
And he clenched his hands itt his despair.
And he st ruck at the shapes that were gathering
there.
Pacing his cell in impatient rage
As a new caught lion paces his cage ;
But come there shadow, or come there 6hine,
The spider is spiuuing his web so fine.
“0, were it my fate to yield up my life
At the head of my liegenteu all,
In the forem^Dtshock ot the battle-strife
Breaking my country’s thrall,
I’d welcome death from the fueman’s steel,
Bientiling a prayer for old Scotland’s weal;
But here, where no pitving heart is nigh,
By a loathsome hand, it is hard to d.e ; ’
Yet come there shadow, or come there shine,
The spider is spiuuing his thread so flue
a Time and again have I fronted the pride
Os i lie tyrant s vast array.
But only to see. on the crimson tide,
My hopes swept far away.
Now a land ess chief and a crownless king,
On the broad, broad earth in t a living thing
To keep me court, save yon insect small
Striving to reach front wall to wall
For come there shadow, or come there shine,
The spider is spiuuing his thread so flue.
‘‘Work ! work like a fool, as I have done,
To the loss of your time and pain.
The space is too wide to be bridged across,
You but wml.« your strength in vain.”
And Bruce, for the moment, foigot his grief,
llis soul now title 1 with the same belief,
That however the issue went.
For evil or good was the pmeu sent;
And come there shadow, or come there shine,
The spider is spinning his thread so flue.
Asa gambler watches the turning card
On whic t his all is staked ;
Asa mother waits for the hopeful word,
For which her soul has ached ;
It was thus Bruce watched, with every sense
Centered alone in that look intense ;
All rigid he stood with unuMered breath,
Now white, now red, but still as death :
Tet come there shadow, or come there shine,
The spider is spinning his threap so fine.
Six times the creature vainly tried,
When at the seventh, ‘-See, lo see !
He has spanned it over,"’ the captive cried,
“ Lo t a bridge of hope to me:
Thee, God, I thank, for this lesson here
Has tutored my soul to persevere
And it served him well, for ere iong he wore
In freedom the Scottish crown once more:
And come there shadow, or come there shine,
The spider is spinning his thread so fine.
THE WIPE’S ARTIFICE.
“You bee,” said Mrs. Oxley, “lie will
drink.”
Martha Oxley was a tall blooming wo
man, with bright b'aek hair, smoothed away
like bands of satin from her fair open fore
head, and eyes of softest hazel brown. And
as she stood there with her pretty baby in
her arms, and a scarlet geranium fastened
into the coils of her hair, she made a very
pretty tableau, all the prettier for being so
perfectly unconscious!
“That’s a shame!’’ said the minister,
tapping his gold-headed cane against his
teeth, and looking thoughtfully into the
baby’s blue eyes. “ But, you see, Mrs.
Oxley, I have reasoned with him again and
again, to no purpose. He’s always very
penitent, and very conscience stricken, and
very willing to promise amendment, but
there’s the end of it. The first time tempta
tion is thrown in his way, away go all his
good resolutions to the four wiuds ’’
“ Yes, sir, that’s just it,” said Martha,
brushing a diamond drop off her long lashes
with the baby’s little pearly hand. “ He’s
the best husband in the world, and the most
affectionate father, and the steadiest work
man, as long as he keeps away from demon
drink But oh, sir! I can’t help seeing
that the habit increases on him constantly.”
The minister felt very sorry for Mrs.
Oxley, who had been nursemaid in his fami
ly ten years before she married, but what
could he do? So he only walked down the
street in the red glare of sunshine, swing
ing his gold-headed cane and musing to
himself how men could possibly make such
fools of themselves, when they had sweet
wives, dimpled babies and cosy friends at
home.
“ You’llstay with me to-night, John,” said
Martha, coaxingly, that evening, when the
lamps were lighted, and the hearth brushed
up, and the baby fast asleep in its wicket
nest, dreaming sweet baby dreams ! “I am
just ready to sit down to my sewing.’’
“Not to night, wife,” he said, a little un
easily. “ I promised to meet some of the
boys down at Grady’s, and ”
“ Oh, no, John,” pleaded the wife, nest*,
ling close up to his side, “ I am so lonely
when you ate gone; and you know how you
came back from Grady’s the other night! ’
“ Pshaw !’’ said Oxley irritably. “Now
Blat, you’re nut going to lecture me in that
sort ot way, us it I were a two year old
child.’’
“ l don’t mean to lecture you, John • but,
oh, if you would only stay at home with me
to-night.”
“Then I tell you I won’t,’’ said Oxley,
giving hie mustache a furious twist.” “ I
shall on wl ere I like, and a-k tin Woman's
pe*mission either ?”
“John,’’ said Martha Oxley, quietly, yet
\vi h resolve in the sparkle of Iter hazel
brown eyes, “do precise yas you like. 0«i
--lv remember that I al>o shall claim the
same privilege Drink your-elf into semi
idiocy if y u chooge. I shall also try the
effect of the same soothing spell. What is
right for the husband caunot be wrong for
the wife.’’
“ Mar, you don’t mean to say you care
for liquor 7”
“Why shou’d I not, with the example
you have alwaysset me? I tell you. John,
[ am tired of this one-sided system of jus
tice. If you go out to drink to-night, Igo
a> > ’’
“ Nonsense !” John Oxley slammed the
door with a difiott I«ut*1 1 as lie went out.
“ I’d like to see you try it just onee !”
It was nearly twelve o’clock when John
Ox ’ey returned, with a beau rather misty,
and footsteps not geometrical y accurate, hp
staits, for tiie Oxleys were as yet young be
ginners in the wot Id, and rented one floor ot
au unpretentious house.
“I —I vvi mler it Mat’s waiting for me.”
stuttered John Oxley, feeling carefully for
the bundle of the door. “S s’ pose I’ll get
a regular teaiittg of a scolding—don’t care,
th ugh. A short life and a merry one —
th-that’s my motto !’>
Me opened the door, after one or two in
effectual efforts, and went in. The candle
bad bunted to its vety socket, and thedxing
fire sent only now and then a taint flicker
ing g'eam into the dusk. The baby was
wailing piteou-ly in its cradle, and on a
chair before the grate, a mere heap of >iup'd
slumber, lie saw a woman with her shawl
siained with mud, her bonnet bent into ab
surd angles and a b aok buttle grasped in
one hand.
“ Martha! Bless me! surely, this isn’t
my wife ? ’
He caught one limp hand. It repu’sed
him with a sleepy mutter, still clinging to
the b I'tle.
“ Maltha, wake up ! the baby’s crying.”
“ l—don t cate lor —the— In by.”
John Oxley stood, silent aid disunited,
but withal as completely sobered as il It •
had never touched a drop of the burning
poison in all his life. Sh one, despair, nmr
titication, struggled alternately in his b east
“She said she and do it,’’ tie mound to him
self, “ but I never boliev«d it of her. Oh,
Martha! my pretty, blooming Martha! i
this what you’ve come to, and all through
my fault?” .
Somehow, although John Oxley had nev
er fully realized ihe degradation of a m<m
overcome by ardent spirits, he very cleat ly
discerned the disgrace that intoxication eu
tails upon a woman.
He staggered backward into the hall
and knocked at the door of a fellow-crafts
man.
“ Jones ! let us in, for charity’s sake !”
“ What is the matter?” grumbled Jones,
“Won’t your wife let you in ? 1 wouldn’t
if were she—you’ve disgraced her loug
enough.”
Oxley made no answer, but crept to the
rude sofa in his friend’s room, heedless ol
the grudging welcome.
“ 1 his shall be the hist of it,’’ he mur
mured to himself. *• Fioiii tins hour no
drop of liquor shall ever cross my lips, ii
this is what it leads to!”
The morning sun was shining brightly as
he entered his room, dejected. h. art-broken
and pale. What was Ins surprise to see
Martha busy preparing breakfast, as neat
and blooming as ever, with her hair smooth,
and her e>es blight and spaikling.
“So, John, you’ve piaved truant all
nght,” she said, archly. “ But come in—
breakfast is nearly ready.’’
“ Martha !” lie gasped, “ where were you
last night ?”
“ Here!’’
“ Here ?’’ He looked her keenly iu the
face.
“ Yes, here. Poor Betsy Cliff found her
way here somehow, and slept all night on a
chair before the fire, so I took refuge in the
inner room. Poor thing! I’m a’raid she
was intoxicated; but she was very kind to
us children once, when we had not many
friends.”
John drew a long breath of intense re
lief.
“ Did you hear me come in ?”
“ Yes.”
John came up to his wife and took both
her hands in his.
“ Mat, I’ll teil you what. I’ve resolved
to myself never to touch another drop of
liquor, and after breakfast, I’ll go and sign
the pledge !”
“ Oh, John ! John !”
Martha bursted into tears, with her face
on his shoulder.
“ Dear, it will makfe mo the happiest wife
in the world !”
John Oxley was as good as h:s word.
From that time henceforward he was a mod
el of sobriety and steadiness. And Martha
never told him how she herself had gone
out and brought poor Betsy Cliff in, and ar
ranged the whole scene to give him the im
pression that his wife had followed his own
example. Her artifice had succeeded, and
the shock it had given him was the most
salutary event of his life.— Helen Forrest
Graves.
Travelling as it is in Africa.
Mr. Orinsby’s “ Autumn Rambles in
North Africa,’’ has the following epitome of
the social features of African travelling:
If you do not reach your destination to
night, you will to morrow, or the day after,
or the next week; and you plod on trustful
ly, free from all can s about lost time, miss
ed trains, and full inns, which belong to
travel iu this poor old fussy Europe. The
last cluster of tents you come to before
nightfall is your inn for the timo being, and
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
your t.'king up your quarters theie is ju-t
us much a utatier of course, as if you w.re
under the sign of Adler, or Couroune, or
Marquis of Oranby. If the accommodation
is simple, at any ia*e there is no bill in the
morning, for no one with any respect for ex
isting institutions, will think ot tampering
with the fine old Arab custom of unques
tioning hospitality, by offering payment.
Os course, one and es not altogether like
appropriating the barley, kous-kous, and tent
room of a poor ragged Belouin, in this
cavalier way; and for this reason l always
carried with me a few good serviceable knives,
ruZ'irsand scissors, otic of which compensated
the master of the tent fourfold for auy loss
sustained through the appetite of horse or
guide, without the least injuring his fine
principles.
•Shortly after sunset we were fairly settled
fi>r the night in a small camp of some half
and zen tents The cattle were driven in, the
Camels were hobbled, the horses tethered,
and the evening prayer got over; and l had
the pleasure of making; tea for a select circle
of nomads, so ne of whom showed as strong
a partialit) for the beverage as Dr Johnson.
With the first gray of daylight the camp
was astir again, and the scene, as I saw it
ihrough the tent door, was very suggestive
of dtsert life. Above the hills to the cast
the sky was hi coming tinged with faint yel
low, and the light ju-t touched the hacks of
the sheep and goats, and the heads and
humps of the recumbent camels; and in
amoi.o them the white figures of the Ar bs
w.-ie hatd at work at the morning prayer,
now s'anding with uplifted hands, and faces
turned eastward, n \v down on the knees,
bowing the forehead to ihe earth.
Con vhr s ATI on calls into light what has
been lodg-d in all the recesses and secret
chambers ot the soul. By occasional hints
and incidents, it brings old u-et'ui notions
into remembrance; it unfolds and displays
the h.dden treasures of knowledge with
which reading, obseivation and study have
tie ore turn shed the mind. By mutual
discourse the soul is awakened and allured
to b in» forth its hoards of knowledge, and
learns how to render them most useful to
mankind. A man of vast reading, without
conversation, is like a miser, who lives only
to himself.

The chief recommmdat.on of these Books, is the
easy granation <>l the senes from number one. to six,
bv wmch the pupil is led almo-t imperceptib'v. f( r»
