EDITOR: In reply to "iMr. Alhunkey" wc lind from reading ancient history Herodotus observes that as the Egyptian could not live without kings they chose twelve, among whom they divided the different districts ol Egypt. These princes con nected themselves together by interinar riages agreeing to promote the common interest and never lo engage in any act. ol separate policy. The motive lor this union was to guard against thc declara tion ot an oracle that whosoever among them should offer in the temple ol Vul, can a libation from a brazen vessel should be thc sole sovereign of Egypt and it is to bc remembered thal they as sembled indifferently in 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 thc lcstlval, were about to make thc accustomed libation; for this purpose the chiel priest handed to them the golden cups used on these solemnities, bot he mistook thc number and instead of twelve gave only eleven. I'sammclichus who was the last ol them not having a cup look off his helmet which happened to be ol brass and from this poured his libation. (But 1 did not pour any wine in any of the scenes I saw, either at the door when it sprang open.) The other princes usually wore helmets and had them on the 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 prediction 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 him to leave this situation or hold communication with the rest of Egypt. Psammctichus writhing under thc in dignity, resolved to be revenged and with this view sent to consent the oracle at Latona, at Butos. He was answered, that the sea would produce brazen men to avenge bis 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 bra/en ar i mou rs. The ambitious monarchs iou ? mediately conceived these to bc thc brazen men promised him by the oracle. ' He accordingly entered into an alliance i with them and having, by splendid ' promises engaged them to unite willi his Egyptian adherents, he vanquished J the eleven kings, and made himself - master of the whole country. This hap ! pened before Christ seven hundred and seven yeais. PSALM. july i8lh, 1887. P.

IN A FLORIDA SWAMP. Ovcisluulowcd by u Forest of lllossoniH. Huaicos lu tho I.ow Itrunvlios. Soon tito forest closed in on holli Bid?n of tho narrowing creek. The banks on either side wuro bul three or four inches above waler, and we could look far into the dark woods, overa dead level covered with luxuriant v?gcUiilbn-?jonie fresh, sollie old. Ferns of many varieties some t?: \s blocked tho view with their fronds. Kow and then there were patches of soil in the deep shadow, where nothing grew except tho while At amusco lily. Scores ol this starry dower lit up these somber places. The creek grew moro narrow and winding. The trees met overhead, and we bent our hyads low lo pass under the branches, si retching up our hands oc casionally lo break oil' twigs loaded willi blossoms. So on for 1 know not how long n distance, till tho boat could geno farther, anti we went ashore and loaded ourselves with Howers. A catalogue of them would ho too long. Do you ever experience the delight which is etuisod by meeting u familiar homo bower among st range blossoms? Up here the air was lilied with a fragrance which waa easily traced lo tho small while bloom of our partridgo berry, much moro fragrant in Florida than in New langland. Perhaps the most strik ing feature of this spot is thal, after you have emerged from tho bottom land and ascended on tho dry soil beside the swamp, you find yourself in a small forest of tli? sparkle berry, a tree which for beauty bas hardly a rival. Tho blossoms, which are small and white, hang by the million on slender stems. Looking up at them you aro bewildered with their beauty and lavish abundance. Day is not long enough lo satisfy one who once gets into Ino heart of a Florida swamp in April. There aro countless plants in blossom, and many more whose strange and unknown foliage leads you to wonder what their blossom will be. Among these tho sunshine drops through openings in tho Ines with dazzling elVeels. (beat butterflies, Hitting through the shadows, neem of strange, and somber color, like huge night moths, and it is only when they cross ono of tho streaks ol' sunlight that you recognize your old friends, Turnus or Cresphontos or Pali inedes or Ajax. Ajax more frequently puzzles you. His silvery gray wing.* assume all manner of lints in vnriou: lights. Snakes, do you ask? Yes, many and mighty. So long as you are in tho boat you need have no care for them, but when wandering about swamps you may as well keep a sharp lookout. You will not lind them, however, in cool weather or cloudy days. Wo saw a few. The colored folk seem to inherit a condensed portion of tho human enmity to the ser pent. Whenever one sees a snake he is possessed with a desire to exterminate iiim. As we rowed slowly down the river we saw here and there a moccasin hanging on a branch in tho sunshine, and my boatman always wanted to stop and kill bim, and I always consented. Florida Cor. New York Journal of Com merce. A Story of Vicksburg. Here is a story with the scene laid in Vicksburg. It was while I was in Vicks burg starving on poa bread and (lodging tho Yankee shells. I was detailed to ge to tho commissary to do some work; The boys made it a part of their work to slip something more than was given to them when they went to tho commissary, and it was always something to eat, which they would divido with us. 1 thought that as it bad come my limo to go 1 would be as good aa they had been, if the opportunity afforded. That wo were watched you need not doubt, sind that there was reason for stealing 1 need not deny. Hut il makes mo feel liko a sheep thief yet, whim 1 think of it, When 1 was iii the commissary, leonid see nothing open but a barrel of crackers. 1 could get to nothing better and con cluded fo take a good supply of them. In walking about tho commissary 1 made it convenient to go by the barrel of hard tacks and slip a handful in my bosom, always watching tho commissary ser geant. 1 worked hard when he was looking at me. I never once thought about how many of tho crackers 1 was getting into my bosom. 1 never noticed thal my shirt body was growing fo an enormous sizo. 1 was thinking of tho sup per that the boys would have that night. Suddenly the bottom part of my shirt slipped out from under the waistband of my pants. The sergeant was looking at mo. Tho situation I was in can only be imagined. 1 was excited, and it seemed to mo that there was a bushel of thc darned things spilled around me.

Lesson IV of tho Iiitorimtfounl Sorlo? t'i'titrd Quarter), Tor Sunday. July 24. Text nf thu Lesson, Mutt, exl, 13-17. Uol?loil Text, Mutt, ?xl, 17. Wo hero puss from tho ministry of John to that of Jesus. Tho transition hour is tho bap tism of thu Lord by John; that was tho most important act in tho harbinger's mission. Tho king was thus inaugurated, and tho work of tho forerunner was nearing its and, Tho sconu is profoundly instructivo. Tho sin less Ono submits to tbo symbolical ant as if hu wero a simmer. Tin: LVBH0N. V. Itt. Then Conioth.-Wo cannot bo quito certain bow long John tho Baptist had boen preaching up to this period. Perhaps, taking into account thc comparative age bf the Bap tist, wo may suppose tbat tho baptism of Christ took placo six months after John bo gan his ministry. Tradition, which has se lected tho spot, has also named tho winter as tho Mino of tho baptism. Josus carno from Nazareth of Galilei?. Mark 1,9 namei/*tho town. Wo have already seen that this town was about sovonty milos north of Jerusalem, and perhaps about th? samo distan?a from tiio placo of baptism. That spot would seem to bo tho ?arno ns whore, in versos llvu and six, multitudes carno to John for baptism. Probably this was thopla?a already signnli/.od in tho history of redemption. Hero tho Israelites uudor Joshua crossed tho river; hero tho waters showed tho power of God when they wero miraculously opened by Elijah hnd EHsha. No wonder that inuit sumos still come, as many travelers inform us, und plunge into thu waters at this sacred spot. V. 14. John's Hesitancy.-John knowsoino tbing of Christ's miraculous birth, blameless lifo and divino character. No wonder that ho shrank from performing this service. 1 Moro fitting it seemed that Jesus should bap tizo him. Ho felt unworthy to unloose his Lord's snndnls, for less to baptize him. This hesitancy is in perfect harmony with other examples of John's marked humility. Tho imperfect tunso hero employed shows that it was not a momentary act when ho forbade him. Tho word means that ho tried to hin der htni. As Alford suggests, tho word im plies activo and earnest provoutlng with ges tures of hand and tones of tho voice. When .Jesus spOko tho words which removed John's doubt ho immediately obeyed. Wo havo three accounts of tho buptism, but Matthew alone tells us of John's hesitancy to perform tho significant act. John alroady regarded him ns the Messiah, but ho wanted and ho now received perfect assuranco regarding his divino anointing. Why should Christ, tho sinless ono, submit to tho baptism of ropont nncel Tho answer is not far to seek. Ho was mndo sin for us. Boing in tho likonoss of sinful flesh, it was fitting that ho should sub mit to tho rite intended for sinners. In this spirit ho performed ninny other acta, such us keeping thu Passover, on observance belong ing especially to sinners. His baptism thus identified thu Lord with those whom ho carno to redeem. V. 15. Our Lord's significant answer ro moved John's hesitancy. Tho reply also shows Christ's design in submitting to tho ordinance. Had Christ loft this act unper formed, something would havo boen wonting ir? that perfect righteousness which he carno to manifest. Ho came in our nuiuru llotonly to din tho death of atonement, but to live a lifo of perfect obedience. Baptism is an act of obedionco. Standing in our placo it was fitting that Jesus should submit to this ordi nauco. What Christ sanctioned now by his own examplo ho afterward commanded, making it binding upon nil bis truo disciples. Tho baptism also wns an inauguration of Christ's public and ofllclal lifo. Tho 'now" suggests that tho relation of subjection waa real, but was only temporary and would soon givo placo lo a truer relationship. Christ recognizes some ground for John's doubt, but John was to acquiesce for good, though tem porary reasons The act is that of Jesus as well tis that of John. V, l?. Wont Up Straightway Out of tho Water.-Alter tho act was porformed the heavens wero opened, tho clouds woro parted, and tho spirit as n dove descended. As a Dove.-This may bo understood of tho shape which was assumed, or of tho manner of descent, so far os theso words aro con cerned; but adding what Luke hos said (I ai ko iii, 22), it is moro probable that tho roferenco is rather to tho form which tho spirit chose to assume. To limit this expression to tho man ner ot' tho descent is to do violonco to tho nat ural menning of tho expression. Nothing could bo moro appropriate to tho character, lifo and work of Jesus than this dovo Uko form. John tolls us (John i, 82) that "it abode on him." It was a permanent posses sion; thus ho received tho spirit without measure; thus he was formally anointed for j his great work; tims he ofiletolly entered upon it. Then John and others knew, by testimony from heaven, that ho was tho Mes siah. V. 17. A Volco from Heaven.-Tho voice of tho eternal God was now heard. This voice would confirm John most fully and botter pr?para him for his further rotations to Jesus. It is possiblo that tho voico was heard only by him mid by Christ himself. The term Non was applied to thu Messiah in Pun I ms ii, 7, 13. On two othor occasions tho voico of the Father was heard-at tho trans figuration and shortly before tho crucifixion. A compnrison of tho records of theso three events by all tho evangelists will show that on every occasion Christ was engaged in prayor. Tho three occasions abound In sug gestive lessons. My Bon, My Beloved.-This is a sort of ! proper mono; it is a distinctive title. Tho remaining words aro from tho Messianic pro phecy as found in Isaiah xiii, 1. This was a Wonderful moment for tho Hon of man. Now as never beforo up to this hour bis great mis sion wns opening to his gaze. All tho per sons of tho blessed Trinity woro audibly or visibly present: tho Father by an audiblo voice, tho Hon in human form, and tho ?Spirit ns n dove. Tho ordinance thus honored by tho triune God should bo honored by all truo believers. POINTS TO UK ItKMKMBKRBl). 1. It becomes us to follow Christ's oxnmplo mid to obey all Christ's commands. We may not understand the full significance of some of them any moro than did John, but it is always right to fulfill all righteousness. ' 2. Christ's obedionco in lifo as woll as his atoning sacrifice was necessary to tho com pletion of his work, and brought a great ro I ward.
