Mu. EDITOR: In reply to "Mr. AlUunkey" we find from reading ancient history Herodotus observes that as the Egyptian could not live without kings they chose twelve, among whom they divided thc different districts ot Egypt. These princes con nected themselves together by interinar, riages agreeing to promote tito common interest and never lo engage in any acts of separate policy. Thc motive tor this union was to guard against the declara lion ol an oracle that whosoever among them should offer in thc temple ot Vol, can a libation from a brazen vessel should be thc sole sovereign oi Egypt and it is to be r<unemftercd that they as sembled indifferently ia every temple. These twelve kings were eminent for the justice Of their administration. Upon a certain occasion they were offering sac rifices in thc temple of Vulcan and on the last day of the lestival, were about to make thc accustomed libation; for this purpose the chic! priest handed to them the golden cups used on these solemnities, bul he mistook ibo. number and instead of twelve gave only cloven, l'saminclichus who was thc last ol them not having a cup look off his helmet which happened to be of brass and from this poured bis libation. (But I did not pour any wine in any of ihe scenes I saw, either at the door when it sprang open.) The other princes usually wore helmets and had them on thc present oc casion, so that the circumstance of this one king having and using his was ac cidental and innocent. Observing the action, and remembering the pred; 'lion of the oracle the other kings minutely investigated the matter thinking that he had acted designedly. Finding, how ever, that it was purely accidental they did not deem him worthy of death; but for their own security, deprived him of the regal power, and confined him to the marshy parts of his country, forbid ding ilim to leave this situation or hold communication with the. rest of Egypt, l'sammelichus writhing under the in dignity, resolved to bc revenged and with this view sent to consent Ihe oracle at Latona, at Butos. He was answered, that Ihe sea would produce brazen men to avenge his cause. Sometime after, a body of lomans and Carians who had been engaged in a voyage of plunder were compelled by stormy weather lo land in Egypt clad in their brazen ar mours. The ambitious monarchs im mediately conceived the.se to bc thc brazen men promised him hy Ihe oracle. He accordingly entered into an alliance with them and having, by splendid promises engaged them to unite with his Egyptian adherents, he vanquished the eleven kings, and made h i msc!! master of the whole country. This hap pened before Ohr isl seven hundred and seven yeats. PSALM. july 18th, 1887. P.

IN A FLORIDA SWAMP. Ovoi'slindowed by ii for?at of Ulossotiis. S?micos In thc tow IlrniivbuH. Soon tho forest Closed in on holli sides of tho narrowing crook. Tho hanks on either side were hut three or four inches above water, and wo eould look far into the dark woods, overa dead level covered with luxuriant vegetation-some fresh, some old. Ferns of many varieties some times blocked the view with their fronds. Now and Iben there were patches of soil in the deep shadow, whore nothing grew except the white Atamasco lily. Scores of thia starry dower lit up these somber places. The creek grew moro narrow and winding. The trees mot overhead, and wo bent our heads low lo pass under tho branches, stretching up our hands oc casionally to break oft' twigs loadetl with blossoms. So on for 1 know not how long ti distance, lill tho boat eould go no farther, ?md we went ashore and loaded ourselves with Howers. A catalogue ol' them would bo too long. Do yon ever experience tho delight which is caused by nu t ting a familiar home llowor among strange blossoms? Up hero tho air was lilied with a fragrance which was easily traced to the small while bloom of our partridge berry, much moro fragrant in Florida than in Now England. Perhaps tho most strik ing feature of this spot is that, alter you have emerged from tho bottom land and ascended on tho dry sod beside the swamp, you lind yourself hi a small forest of tho sparkle berry, a tree which for beauty has hardly a rival. Tho blossoms, which aro small and white, hang by the million on slender stems. Looking up at them you are bewildered With their beauty and lavish abundance. Day is not long enough to satisfy ono who once gets into tito heart of a Florida swamp in April. There are countless plants in blossom, and many more whose Strange and unknow n foliage leads you to wonder what their blossom will be. Among these the sunshine drops through openings in tho trios with dazzling elfecta. Great bu lt or fi ?cs, Hitting through the shadows, seem of strange and somber color, liku huge1 night moths, and it is only when they cross ono of tho sneaks of sunlight that you recognize your old friends, Turnus or t'rosphontos or Pilli modes or Ajax. A jax moro frequently puzzles you. His silvery gray wings assume all manner of tints in various lights. Snakes, do you ask? Yes, many and mighty. So long as you aro iii the boat you need have no care for them, but when wandering about swamps you may ns well keep a sharp lookout. You will not find thom, however, in cool weather or cloudy days. We saw a few. The colored folk seem lo inherit a condensed portion of tho human enmity to the ser pent. Whenever ono sees a snake he is possessed with n desi ra to exterminate ililli. As we rowed slowly down the river we saw hero timi there a moccasin hanging on a branch hi tho sunshine, and my boatman always wanted to stop and kill him, and 1 always consented. Florida Cor, New York Journal of Com merce. A Story of Vicksburg. Here isa story with the scene laid ill Vicksburg. It was while I was in Vicks burg starving on poa bread and ihxlging tho Yankee shells. I was detailed to go to tho commissary to do some work. The boys made it a part of their work to slip something moro than was given to them when thoy went to the commissary, and it was always something to oat, which they would divido with us.

I could got to nothing better and con eluded to take a good supply of them. In walking about tho commissary I made it convenient to go hy the barrel of hard tacks and slip a handful in my bosom, always watching tho commissary ser geant. I worked hard when ho was ! looking at mc, I never oneo thought about how many of tho crackers 1 was getting into my bosom. 1 never noticed I that my shirt body was growing to an enormous size. I was thinking of tho sup per tlilit the boys would have that night. Suddenly tho bottom part of my shirt slipped out from lintier the waistband of my pants.

THU I.KSHON. V. 13. Then Coijioth.-Wo cannot bo quito certain how long John tho Baptist had boon^j preaching up to this period. Perhaps, taking into account tho comparativo ago of tho Bnp li'.t.. wo limy Konposn that tho baptism of Christ took placo six months after John bo gnu bio ministry. Tradition, which lina se lected tho spot, has also named tho winter as tho timo of tho baptism. Josus carno from Nazareth of Galilee1. Mark 1,0 namoi? tho town. Wo have already scon that this town wns nhoilt soventy miles north of Jerusalem, and perhaps about tho samo distance from tho placo of baptism. That spot would seem to'bo tho sninio as whero, inversas llvo ond six, multitudes carno to John for baptism. Probably this was tho place already signalized in tho history of redemption. lloro tho Israelites Uudor Joshua crossed tho rlvor; hero tho Waiora showed tho power of God when they wero miraculously oponed by i Elijah and Elisha, No weider that multitudes still como, ns ninny truvclors inform us, und phmgo into tho waters nt this sacred spot. V. M. John's Hesitancy,-John kuowsomo thing of Christ's miraculous birth, blameless lifo and divino character. No wonder that ho shrank from performing this service. Moro lilting it Boomed that Jesus should bap tiz? him. Ho felt unworthy to unlooso hin Lords sandals, far biol to baptizo him. This hesitancy is in perfect harmony with other examples of John's marked humility. Tho imperfect tenso hero employed shows that it was not a momontary act whon ho forbade him. Tho word means that ho tried to hin der him. As Alford suggests, tho word im plies activo and oar host provouting with ges tures of hand and tones of tho voice. Whon Jesus spoke thc words which removed John's doubt ho immediately obeyed. Wo havo thrco accounts of tho baptism, but Matthew alone lolls us of .John's hesitancy to perform tho significant act. John already regarded him as the Messiah, but ho wanted and ho now received perfect nssuranco regarding Iiis divino anointing. Why should Christ, tho sinless ono, submit to tho baptism of repent ance} ? Tho nnswor is not far to Book. Ho was tundo sin for US. Boing in tho likonossof sinful Host), it was fitting that he should sub mit to tho rite intended for sinners. ' In this spirit Ito performed ninny other acts, such ns keeping tho Passover, on obsorvanco belong ing especially to sinners. His baptism thus identified thu Lord with those whom ho carno to redeem, V. 15. Our Lord's significant anstvor ro luoved John's hesitancy. Tho reply also shows Christ's design in submitting to tho ordinance. Had Christ loft this act unper formed, smoothing would havo boen wanting irj t hat perfect righteousness which ho carno to manifest. Ho como in our mauro not only to rho tho denth of atonement, but to live a lifo of p?rfeci obed lonee. Baptism is on act of obedioneo. islanding in our piuco it wns Utting that Jesus should submit to this ordi nance What Christ sanctioned now by his own examplo ho afterward commanded, making it binding upon all his truo disciples. Tho baptism also was an inauguration of Christ's public and olllcial lifo. Tho "now" suggests that tho rotation of subjection was real, but was only temporary and would soon give jiliico lo a truer relationship. Christ recognizes some ground for John's doubt, but John was to aequicsco for good, though tem porary reusoiM. Thu net is that of Jesusas well CA that ot' John. V. 10. Wont Up Straightway Out of tho Watcr.--.\itor tho act was performed the heavens wero opened, tho clouds woro ported, mid tho spirit os a dove descended. As o Dove.-This moy be understood of tho shape which was assumed, or of tho manner of descont, so for os theso words oro con cerned; but adding what Luke has said (Luko iii, 22), it is moro probable that tho reference ls rather to tho form which tho spirit chose to assume. To limit this expression to tho man ner of tho descent is to do violonco to tho nat ural meaning of tho oxprcssion. Nothing could bo moro appropriate to tho character, lifo and work of Josus than this dovo Uko form. John tells us (John i, 32) that "it abode on him." lt was o permanent posses sion; tims ho rcce.ved tho spirit without mensure ; thus ho was formally anointed for his groat work; thus lie officially entered upon it. Thou John and others knew, by testimony from heaven, that ho was tho Mes slab. V. IT. A Voice from Heaven.-The voico pf tho eternal God was now heard. This voieo would confirm John most fully and hotter preparo him for his further relations to Josus. lt is possiblo that tho volco was heard only by him and by Christ himself. 'JTUo term Hon was npplied to tho Messiah in Psalms ii, 7, li). On two othor occasions tho voico of the Kat lier was heard-at tho trans figuration mid shortly beforo tho cruclllxion. A comparison of the records of theso three evenly by all tho ovnugolists will show that on every occasion Christ was engaged in prayer. Tho throe occasions abound in sug gestive lessons. My Bon, My Beloved.-This is o sort of I proper name; it is a distinclivo title. Tho j remaining words aro from tho Messianic pro ! pheoy os found in Isaiah xiii, 1.

Wo may not understand tho full significance of sonio of them any moro thou did John, but it ls always right to fulfill oil righteousness. ' 2.
