A VNriT TO THl SaBCRD ISLAND OF PIIIL.E -
TEe TrEMPLe OF OSIRIS SEEN oY
TORCHLIGHT.
O. W. Stoddad in the ian Franc:co Chronlc'oe.
Toward sunset we polled to shore. The
barge sat apon the water like a huge gourd.- A
dozen dusky Nubians, with ribs of steel and
musoles of iron, pulled the long oafs that rose
and fell upon the river in rbythimioal cadenoe,
while they chanted in low, deep gutturals
some melodious though monotonous legend of
the Nile. The island was bathed in radiance.
We approached a crumbling terrace from
which the fine grase fell in fringes, and all of
the wide stairs that led from the river to the
rock above were broken and overgrown with
moesa and trailing creepers. A floating vine
served for a cable to draw us to the land. The
crew, olad briefly in a girdle of flaming colors
leaped overboard, and a moment later we lay
safely moored under the tall palms of Pbi:w,
the sacred isle.
Michel with his well-trained retinne at once
proceeded to lay dinner in a superb pavilion
overhanging the eastern branch of the river,
and while our appetites were sharpening we
scattered in pairs among the temples, corridors
and tombs that cover teu island from shore to
shore. You knuo Plai'vw The tropical oasis
in the Nile, a few miles above the first catar

hunge clfl as blotk as night, as smooth as
glass, as hard-as adamant. I Ce are toe iron

oeated on falen coiumns, amrong pillars and
obelisks that have survirvd the iecre of time,
we feasted. There were Crtholics, Protletan :
Mohammedans aod Iutidels grouped on the
Eastern terrace, awaitirg ma:onrise.
The shadows deeped atmor g the hills: the last
flush of ronnet faded like a rove, and the dell
oate afterglow seemrd ti be spirited away by
the deep, strong c:crent that a wept noiselessly
about our island, tflwteg forever through the
deiset into the greent and fertile northland, the
land of 0 .,hen I I wonder if any one of us
realized at that moment that we were sitting
among the ruins of a race once more affloent,
more poetic, more artistic tia, our own ; that
it had its revelations. its religious develop
me-t, its triumphs and its decay; that the god 1
of that people Osiris, was so adored that even
his name was nt uttered by profane lips; and
in those dsays the most terrible of oaths was
this: 'By him who sleeps in Philan I" We di
vided the cold turkey and champagne within
reach of that ondeisovered tomb; at our backs
loomed one of the meet splendid and perfeot
templle of the east. True, it is bnt two thoue
sad years old--ths paint was hardly dry when
King Herod decleed the slaughter of the inno- I
cents-but it was sacred to Osiris.
At this moment there was a flesh in the East.
A wave of delioate color swept over the sky ;
the black walls beyond the river drew nearer
to us; a silver thread of light ran along their
rough and rugged tps ; a flake of cloud--jnet
one flake n a sky " that is forever ,lonlle-e-
caught fire, and then the great, gmrn.aring.
golden shield, the moon, rolrd slowly and
serenely into spaoo. Our temples wer, triAs
fired ; the delicse o reliefs wore magnined ;
even the imporeh'stlo tints that have with-b
stood the ailto crd 'te sin these twenty cen
tnies were li-'ing,-i.tnable; oolonnades of I
pallid oolumne a taned down the island, and I
every tomb gathered its melancholy and fun
eral rhsLdowe on its sides, where they hong
like trailing palls. We were all silent now. A
little gust of winoe ewept down the valley like i
a sigh' the pals stf -ne accord bowed their
plumed heads to tlae .'st.b It was thus the.fall
moon crowned a nub'au solitude that supremet
and memoral,:e uight.
No sooner was dhe moon well up than there
wan a stir in Pi;?e. Michel mustered his
forces and bore the properties of the camp to I
the barge that was still mcored under the ter- t
race. The caravan was sbnot todepar t. What
ever was to be done in ca,, nt;,., to this pre
destined plan had to be iou a at uce. I stood t
apart from tesbusy f.mr, ,ps, -cming and muti
none. A form apprJsao0oe me--a friend whose
lave of travel, whose kun.wledge of the world,
and wl ose deep appreciation of all that ise
pathetio and poetic an the decadence of that I
superb East, had won my sympathy and I
eateem. 'Do you retorn I'" said the voice.
aoaroely above a whisper. "Not willingly," I
replied. "Why may we not remain ? The island
is not half explored. How are weapons and
provisiones We may hail the barge at sunrise
and rejoin our friends without discommoding
tbhem in the least. I choose to remain. Will
you join me 1 Is it a bargain T" It was a bar- I
gain struck on the instant. Without dehy I I
scuroed a rifle from Yosef, the pearl of drago- a
mane. A double postion of cold meats and
wine was hidden in a convenient corner; we
had our torobes, and surplus garments ample
enough to protect nus from the chilly air of the
night. The oaravan repaired to the terraoe.
Bow the palme glistened in the moonlight,
how the barge rose and fell on the dark sunr
face of the river.
"All aboard," eriel the oearavan in losty ohbo
rues. "All aboard," said I, "for two of us re
man on Phil. antil suanrise, but the barge re
turne for us at that hour; boen royags !" There
war no objection raeied; there was no exolam- I
ation of surprisel; we were of age, of one 1
religion and of one mind. It was our affsair,
and no one wan authorizd to oppose us. With
deft hands the Nnbians cat off the vines that
bound them to the island, and swung slowly
into the onurrent; they fell upon their oars and
sang while the barge swam onward and faded
like a phanton In the shadow under the Nubian
shore. A last farewell floated over the water
to us. It was then that we realizad that we
were truly alone on an island in the Nile, with
no hope of esape before sunrise. Again we
heard voices--a song wafted on the tranquil
air, growing fainter and fainter every moment
a our friends retreated down the narrow val
ley. We lighted our torches and began a
thorough survey of the great temple. From
ra the top of the lofty Pylon to the obscere re
oeases of the Hypogelam we soonred the scalp
tared stones with flame and read vaguely but
with awe the secret history of Osiris. There
it was. page after page, from the advent to the
tranefilration-a very saered and mysterious
revelation which in nsany instances seemed to
foreshadow the advent of our Lord. Doubt
' less the nigl t, ard the awful sense of solitude
from which is was impossible for us to escospe,
heightened our singlar enthusiasm; the place
seemed thronged with spirite; yonr know it is
written, "Statues sleep in the daytime ; in the
night 4bey wake and become ghosts."
What faces and forms etarted into life under
the glare of our torchbes Taey seemed acto
ally to move in the quivering light. Isis, with
extended arms, fringed with feathers, a wing
ed goddess ; tbe mitered Athos, with an evil
eye set in the clean oat profile; rows of starks.
giants with coiled beards; deities crowned
with serpents, and sphynz.e half human, half
beast ! We lost our reckoning more than onee,
ard threaded gloomy halls where olouds of bats
poured down ouon us; mildewed creatures,
x with fetid breath, that fastened upon oas like
vampires, and were withdifiaulty beaten off
They drove us from their solitudee, oenturies
old, and when we had fled into the balls above
them we could still hear the low thunder of a
t myriad slimy wings flapping in that whirl
wind of desperation and despair I How sweet,
how delicious the night air on theterraoe I We
sat there till the moon had sailed half aoross
the heavens, and then we climbed to the top.
most balcony of the temple and sooght repose.
Night-blrds darted by us, now and again
sweeping down within our reach, and scream
ing with affright; strange echoes wandered to
and fro among the deserted chanbers. Yueers
rifle lay by my side; I slept the half sleep that
is like drunkenness; I seemed conscious of
my surroundings, and yet I dreamed inoee
santly; once I sprang to my feet with a shriek
of horror that was scarcely osaonlated to obeer
my companion. In my dream I seemed t bhe
hanging upon the very edge of the temple ter
race, and then I slid off into hideous space, and
was dashing headlong down to death when I
awoke. There was little sleep after that. We
e sat in the moonlight and chatted andsmoked
L the consoling and soothing cigarette, and look
I e4 down upon theriverthatstolelooiselessly by,
e 200 feetbeliow vs. While we watched the myes
i, terious current whose source is hidden in some
fabulous land, we saw, at the same moment, a
f dark object stemming the current and slowly
approaching the island. My firstthought was
of the crocodile, that has been frightened out
f of Egypt, bat still clings to the Nobian shore
e with reckless persistency. We descended to a
i balcony overhanging the water, at a point
a within range of our unwelcome visitor. O it
came- we saw dark limbs noiselesly propell
ing the creature; we heard quick, hard breath
ing, and then the object swam into the white
wake of the moon, and we saw a human head
and part of a human form buoyed up by a log;
a it was the Nubian raft,i and we were about to
h be inspected by a native of the soil.
A challenge brought no response from the
amphibious rascal. The challenge was repeat
ed, ahd then, after a reasonable vanee, I die
charged Yasef's rifle into the air. With a grant.
a that blackamoor went on the other tack and
disappeared. It was an unexpected and in
i prompts rehearsal of the fourth sot of "Aida."
a We were on the very spot-Phi'm, the sacred
isle. Here was the temple, apor'ion of wbioh
is re'pree.nted, more or less accurately, in the
p c'crr-sf to fourth ant ; the moon, the palms,
t:..- r"ver, the fragrant jungle, and from time
a to 't-.:. strange chants that fiated in the air
--tl:,~!i'.g, plantive notes, droned monoton
onsly, bee like, at welcome intervals till sun
rise.
fHov we listened and brooded over the
Swater, and saw in a tideless nook the ivory
petals of a great flower, that blossomed and
ut nveiled its golden glories until it seemed an
other moon. It lived, it breathed, it palpitat
ed upon the crystal surface of the tranquil tidc
it flooded the air with fragrance; all the pas
s eion of Egypt, all the poetry of the Nrle, all
the magnificence and the mystery of the Orient
i bloomed again in thatqueenly flower. She was
a necromancer ; she held me with her coenjra
tion ; I saw beyond mountains and deserts,
tropical jangles astir with crouching tigers,
troops of elephants, droves of gaunt giraffes
I before the storm, and the hippopotami wallow
ing in tall river reeds.
Abyssinia, Sennasr, Ksrdafan, Darfour sent
I Anbassies to me, and I had for my slaves tl'g
ioJis of Berbers girdled with gold, shiuing
with oil murky and shapoly fI Iws ! The suan
was up when-I woke asgai : tte barge awaited
nu; our h aLt a . ii to ;'tore; we had nothing
to do but to recurn to our friends and reernmn
the voyva;-1 -bat for me that night the locus
bloomed eod withered!
FLACING PARSONBS.
THE MERCANTILE METHOD IN USX i': TlE
ESTABLISHED CHURCIIH OF ENGLANLu.
One of the great problems w'vioCh has
most severely puzzled the various l,-a'cbe~t
of the Christian Church is how to prv dn
churches with ministers and minister.' wi",
churches. In the Blethodist church, a eor
pointments are made by the Bish,'s. Is
the Episocopal Church the vestry ele'ft the
rector. In the Presbyterian, Baptist and
Congregational the congregations do their
own electing. from as many candidates as
happen to offer; and for every self-sup
porting church which happens to be vacant
there are generally from twenty to a hund
red candidates. Ministerial intelligence
ifdfices have been tried in vain as a means
of bringing ministers and churches
together. The general cause of failure has
be.n ),le fact that theohurches had no need
of i .ch agency, being pressed with far
more caudidates than they could use, and
that the ministers who weuld patronize the
intelligence office are not of the sort desired
by the churches. In this country it is con
sidered unprofessional for a clergyman to
advertise in the papers that he wants a
place, or to take any open steps toward
providing himself with one. The theory is
that he waits the guiding of Providence.
The course pursued by our British
brethren is quite different, as may be seen
f:om the following advertisements, which
are fair samples of those which are alwayb
to be found in some of the leading religious
papers. They contain some conditions
and requirements whica would provoke
smiles if used in our papers in reference to
clergymen or churches. Here is aman who
wastes no words, but comes diectly to
business:
Benior ourate of a city church wants curacy.
Graduate, Moderate. Biongle. Good voice.
Here a man advertises in the style in
which an applicant for the position of
coachman might phrase his desires:
A good uoaracy, or sole charge, is wanted by
a clergyman, seven years in orders, of satisfco
tory abilities Single. Refereon.. unexoeo
tionable. A good neighborhood desired. No
extremes. No agencies
And anotherin like manner:
Die. Bat'R and Wells-Curscy wanted.
Strong, fond of work, muooh experience.
Here is au applicant with a diversity of
gifts:
Sneuior curacy wanted by a Cambridge grad
uste in fu!! orders. Young, nimarried. A
town pari . large church and snrpliced choir
Sprcfcrrd i o exttremes. Ccn undertake man
ugemient if ct:uir and Sonday schools.
Another offers pecuniary inducement to
an embarrassed church:
-country reoter, married, private mease,
moderate views, good voice, would take duty
in or near a nice town, where the climats is
dry and braoing. Remuneration, furnished
house, etc.
To balance such as these are many
advdrtiseements for ministers. It will be
noticed that the required shades of degrees
of oharchmanship are as definitely stated
as would be the color or height of a horse.
There is no "poor preach, poor pay," about
this one:
Curate wanted. G od worker and preacher.
Priest. Good stipend.
The sum of one hundred and fifty
pounds Is offered for the man who can fill
this bill:
Wanted, at Cbriqtmss, a graduate in full
orders as curate of the parish of Liverpool.
Good preacher, moderate and evangelical.
Another advertisement is for a curate
whose views are "sound, but not extreme."
Another calls for "an earnest, energetic
worker, of moderate views. Musical pre
ferred. £160. Weekly Communion."
The next call is for a curate: "Priest.
Single. No extremes." A Yorkshire
parish wants two carates and offers as in
ducements "Plenty of. work. Good sti
pends." In Radnorshire curate is wanted
for "two churches, four miles apart. Pop.
450." This looks like sparse congregs
tions. A "large agricultural paribh"
wants a senior curate, who must he "Active.
Single. Not over thirty-five." The church
in Alfreton wants a curate, "views sound,
but not extremle." Here is an advertise,
ment suggesting the possible existence of
young ladies in the parish :
£2150 and Furnished Lodginugs-Wanted. at
once, a strong, active, bachelor Priest, wit'_ a
good voice, ot moderate views,. to take charge
of a retires country parish. Pop. nuder 300.
St. Barnaban' Church, Kensington, is in
need of a curate at Christmas, and says :
"Daily prayer, weekly Communion. Sor
pliced choir. Pastoral work. Stiponed
£150."
Moordown wants an assistant priest.
"Earnest. Catholic. Good opening for
mission work. Stipend £100.
And so on, for some distance. "Strong
voice" seems to be in demand on the part
of many of the churches and "dry locality"
on the part of some.of the ministers. Let
us hope that, whether the ministerial
voices be strong or weak, the ministers
may be well suited with places and that
the immediate localities where they minie
ter be not too "dry" about preaching time.
UNHEALTHY SPOTS IN THE GEBMAnl
BOCIAL SYSTEM.
N. Y. Sun.
We do not look with favor or with tol
eration on the private assassination of
monarchs as an advisable or excusable step
to be taken in the progress of Liberty.
The world will bear witness that nowhere
was the attempt upon the life of the En
peror William of Germany, which well
nigh proved succeshful, more strongly con "
demned than in this republican country.
But now, when the Emperor has so far
recovered as to be able to resume the reins
of government, which had been, from ne
cessity, temporarily intrusted to the hands
of the Crown Prince, deep interest attaches
to the explanation which the monarch him
self gives on his triumphal reture to his
capital, of the crime which came so near
putting a tragic.end to his reigq. The
shouts of the multitude ring in his ears;
but he is still suffering from the injuries
he received, and his wounded arm he car
ries in a sling. A.idresaing the ministers,
generals, eei co,,,rt. dignitaries standing

S-~:e pinful experienoes which have be
f..ltlt lu,vr pr'v,.ally have also disclosed and
iuu.,e plain the unhealthy spots in our whole
e sc:.l eystem."
Then there are unhealthy spots in the
German social system. The Emperor
himself is not so blind as not to see them.
In spite of all the power and grandeur and
glory of the empire, it is filled with nn
healthy spots. The people are not happy
and the rulers do not feel themselves
secure.
If the aged Emperor could see still fur
ther he would perceive it is not spots alone
in the social system of Germony that are
unhealthy. It is the system itself that is
uophilosophical and unsound. The Ger
man doctrine is that the individual exists
for the empire, the citizen for the Govern
ment. Everything is compulsory. Tihe
terribly exacting military service is but
epauletted and ur,iformed slavery. The
happiness of the man is nothing. Every
thing must be sacrificed to the greatness of
the empire.
Still dwelling on what he denominates
the unhealthy spots in the German system,
the Emperor continues in these words:
"These can only be healed by the strong
band of the law, the intervention of which it
was recently again necessary to call in. If
these sores also are thereby healed, I shall feel
happy at having bled for the common weal,
and bshall rejoice that so many of those who
would not believe in the severity of those
wounds have since had their eyes opened."
Starting with a wrong conception of the
nature of the disease, the remedy prescrib
ed by the Emperor is also erroneous. The
unhealthy system of the German empire
may be temporarily supported, but it can
not be permanently cured in this way.
Liberty is the only true touchstone at
which its woes would depart. The strong
measures for the government to adopt are
measures strong with equality add freedom.
Thus, and thus alone, can enduring health
be imparted to the whole system. The
German people, lees governed, would be
more happy.

The scriptural story of Joseph's brethren
going to Egypt for corn when their own
was exhausted, haa been, in a way, re
hearsed by a California farmer. His ordi
a nary corn having turned out badly, ho was
I surprised to get an enormous yield from a
little Egyptian corn whlich h hhad planted
among the other. It will. grow in almost
anly soil, is nearly as heavy as wheat, re
serubles hulled barley in the raw state, is a
good subatitnte for buckwheat, is capable
of more uses in the kitchen, including all
purposes for which various tiunrs are used,
and is a nutritious fodder which all cattle
like.
We get these facts from the San Fran
claco Bulletin, which further states that
the growing corn has a beautiful appear
ance, that it requires little or no care after
being planted, that itis gathered by pluck
ing the tufts, which thresh more easily
than other corn, that it yields a thousand
fold, and that it matures in its own time
regardless of the season. The two varie
ties, white and red, do not differ materially.
We cannot tell whether this is the same
kind of corn as proved the dependence of
ancient Egypt, but it is found on extensive
trial to bi all which is predicted of it.
California, and ot'"er parts of the United
States as well, will be able to make an
important addition to our cereals.
