"Zedekiah was one and twentv vpat-s old when he began to reign, and he reigned 11 years In Jerusalem." After the death of Josiah, the good king, three of his sons and one grandson succeeded him, reigning altogether 22 yean Jeboahaz, or Shallnm, three months; Eliakim, or Jeholakim, 11 years; Coniah, or Jeconiah, or Jeholachin, tnree months, and Zedekiah 11 years. The first two and the last were eons of Josiah, the third was his grandson and was 87 years a captive in Babylon (Jer. lil, 81). The story of the final captivity of Judah, the topio of this lesson, is found in three other places (Jer. xxxix, II Kings xxv, II Chron. xxxvi) and must therefore be some thing to be prayerfully, pondered by us. 2. "Ho did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Je hoiakim had done." What a brief but comprehensive summary of a man's life "evil in the eyes of the Lord," and how it confirms the statement that "the carnal mind is enmity against God!" (Rom. viii, 7. ) The eyes of the Lord are running to and fro throughout the whole earth and wherever there is a heart trusting in Him He will show himself strong on behalf of such (II Chron. xvi, 9). The devil Is also going to and fro In the earth seeking to destroy man and turn him from God. 8. "He cast them out from His pres ence." Thus the Lord did to Jerusalem and Judah because of their sins, for they mocked the messengers of God. and de spised His words and misused His proph ets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no rem edy (II Chron. xxxvi, 16). He earnestly protested unto them, rising early and pro testing, but they obeyed not nor inclined their ear and continued walking in the imagination of their evil hearts (Jer. xl, 7, 8). It is impossible to go where God cannot see us, but it is possible to lose he sense of His presence, as when Cain went out from the presence of the Lord (Pa. exxxix, 1-4; Gen. iv, 16). The presence of the Lord is the assurance of all sure guid ance and blessing (Ex. xxxiii, 14; xxiil, 20). 4, 6. "So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of King Zedekiah." The Lord had said through Jeremiah that the king of Babylon would take the city ard destroy it, and for this- testimony the prophet was put in prison (Jer. xxxiv, 2 ; xxxii, 8), but shutting up a messenger of the Lord or stopping his mouth or even killing him or burning up his message will not prevent the purpose of the Lord from being fulfilled. All Scripture shall surely and literally be fulfilled, and even the enemies of God can only fulfill His pleasure, for He maketh even the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder doth He restrain. The king of Babylon was unconsciously God's instrument in chastening His people of Judah and Jeru salem. Even Herod and Pontius Pilate and the gentiles and Israel when they combined against Christ were only bring ing to pass what God foresaw would bo (Acts iv, 27, 28). 6. ''The famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land." The study of the famines of Scripture, with their reasons and results as far as we can judge of the same, is a most profitable study, for example, the famine of Gen. xii and its results to Abra ham, the famine in Bethlehem and its effect upon riimelech and Naomi as re corded in Ruth. In Ezek. xiv, 21, famine is called one of God's four sore judgments, but in Amos viii, 11, we read of the worst kind of famine, even a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 7. "All the men of war fled and went forth out of the city by night." In chap ter Tnrix, 4, we read that Zedekiah went with them. Ezekiel was at this time a captive in Babylon, but God showed him and he by an object lesson showed the peo ple just what was going on In Jerusalem at this time, so that even without tele phone or telegraph the Jews at Babylon knew of events at Jerusalem the very day they happened (Ezek. xii, etc. ). God has permitted man to bring to pass most won derful things in these days in which we live, but never in any nation has been seen or heard such wonderful things as God has done and will yet do in find for Israel, His chosen people. 8. "The army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king and overtook Zedekiah in theplainsof Jericho." When Jonah would flee from the presence of the Lord, al though he got off to sea ai.d possibly fan cied he was really on his way to Tarsbish, the Lord wanted him at Nineveh and so sent two detectives after him, a storm to stop the vessel and a fish specially pre pared to bring him ashore. The king Zedekiah may have thought himself safely away from the king of Babylon and pos sibly hare ridiculed the words of Jere miah, but if so it only proved that he did not know the Lord nor that every purpose of .the Lord must be performed. 9. "Then they took the king and car ried him up unto the king of Babylon to Rlblah, in the land ef Hamath, where he gave Judgment upon him." Thus it came to pass bm if had been Tore tola, Dut the most pitiful thing about it all, as it seems to me, was that one who should have been an honor to the Lord, on the throne of the Lord at Jerusalem, is found a prisoner in the hands of an enemy of God, and this enemy sitting in judgment upon him. It was a sorry sight when Abraham was re proved by Abimelech because he for fear of his life told a lie about his wife. It was a fearful thing when David by his great sin gave occasion to the enemy to blas pheme; when Simon Peter by bis self con fidence and following afar off denied his Lord. But all these are written for our in struction that we may not sin as tbey did. 10. "And the king of Babylon slew tho eons of Zedekiah before his eyes. " This tnight have been-avoided if Zedekiah had only been obedient to the word of the Lord by Jeremiah and had surrendered to the king of Babylon, but he thought he knew better than Jeremiah, and he would not believe God, but hardened his heart and went his own way until all this came upon him. , It la ha enough to suffer oneself, but to be compelled to witness suffering which we have brought upon others must be a terrible thing. Yet what a man soweth that must be also reap. 11. "Then he put out the eyes of Zede kiah, and the king of Babylon bound bim In chains and carried him to Babylon and put him In prison till the day of his death." Thus was fulfilled all that was written by Jeremiah and Ezekiel concern ing him that be would see the klPg of Babylon, that he would go to Babylon, but that he would never see Babylon and yet die there in peace. Yes, I did say on the pine barren view. As weary I Journeyed the wild road along, Virginia's rude soil I would glad bid adieu And never remember Virginia in song. t had passed through her towns and no oos verse had met. Though in converse jaj heart knew its fond est delight. And to firm in my si MS had dear friendship been set That of friendship I thought I might chal lenge the right. But soon was the change when to Richmond fa came. For the stranger here met with a heart like hia own. And he sighs that his verse will ne'er equal Its fame And give It for friendship the highest renown. In the house on the hill a free welcome he found The welcome that told him its friendship was true And long shall the praise of its master resound. While gratitude claims from his heart the just due. Oh, woman, here, too, both in beauty and sense Thou art bleat with the boon which art can not Improve 1 Thy looks and thy smiles such sweet favors dispense That the heart of the stranger is tempted to love. Then, Richmond, accept a stranger's farewell. If the tear of regret of his love be the proof. Long, long in his heart shall thy memory dwell. And in age be the theme of the days of his youth. Bookman. KOBIN HOOD'S END. The new sheriff was a younger and more vigorous man, and Robin Hood preferred a foe of courage and resource. To outwit the old dotard who had re cently died had ever been sufficiently easy. The cewcomei was more worthy of his steel. Many a time and oft Robin and his men were only saved by their knowl edge of the Sherwood caves ; none other held that secret Indeed the fear of these secret caves was widely spread throughout the neighborhood, and many an old wife's story told of the sure and horrible death that awaited any man that entered them without having a clew. Gradually, as time wore on, those of the old band who were still left rallied about their leader. In spite of the sheriff their numbers increased, and from their marauding expeditions tbey seldom came back empty handed. Children in Nottingham said that when they prew up tbey also would live in the forest like Robin Hood, and eat of the king's venison and be served with cups and plates of gold and have many to follow them. But Robin had pot forgotten the ill omen. Outwardly his mirth was as boisterous as ever. He played rough jests with his own men or with travel ers who fell into his hands. It was not enough that he should take their treas ure; he must also send them on their way in some purely ridiculous and fan tastic attire or position, even as, many years before, be bad 6ent the 'did. sheriff back into Nottingham with his hands and feet tied and his face to his horse's tail. His presence of mind in the moment of peril was as great as it had ever been. One never found him at a loss, por did he seem to-be thinking of any thing beyond the present moment. Yet if by chance any spoke to him of what he should do in years to come his an swer waa always : "There are no years to come. This year ends all." Almost unconsciously his two most able and faithful followers Little John and the Friar came to have tbe same mind on this matter. They had no doubt tbat the end would come, but only of the manner of its coming. Tbey knew now that they went in greater peril than ever before, and their terror was lest Robin should be taken by tbe sheriff. Had they spoken to him of it he might have laughed at their fears. Ev ery night and day he kept his dagger by his side, and his mind was fixed that he would never be taken alive. As it was, every morning they asked themselves, "Will it be today?" and every night that they slept in the open, "Shall we be taken while we sleep?" Tbe autumn came, and already the trees of the forest were changing color. Now and again a party of young nobles would come down to the river with hawk on fist. Sometimes in the early morning the horn would sound tbe prise, but ere forester or keeper could reach the spot tbe fat buck bad been borne away. Tha berries were ripening on the brambles and wood was being gathered against tbe coming winter. A rich knight, bearing great treasure in his train, passed throogh the forest unscathed aye, even without sight of Robin land his men. Others followed, and were also left unmolested. It would indeed have been said that Robin, as was his wont at times, had left Sher wood and was bunting elsewhere but for tbe shrill call of tbe horn in tbe early morning and for the missing deer It was as though eolong as they could wrest a scant livelihood from the vert and venison of the forest, they were con tent to give up their war on men. And this was because Robin lay sick. in the caves, every day saying, "To morrow it will be well with me, and we will take tbe road again, and some trav eling prelate shall pay for his sins. " And when the morrow came, always hia weakness returned. It was as if the life died slowy out of bim, aa the flame diea slowly in rha lamp when the oil is pearly finished. The Friar had used inch skill in herbs aa he had, but to no purpose. One day he said to Robin : "Have yon beard augbt of the prioress of Kiikleesehe that wai daughter of tbe old sheriff?" "Many years ago," said Robin half dreamily, "she came to tbe forest by night She would have tbe feather of the golden eagle that I wore in my cap doubtless a wager, and one that I was willing enough tbat she should win. She was a slip ef a girl then, and, to my thinking. recieS little of tha rail- I gioua life. Bnt with womea" He broke off, gasping for breath, and then resumed with (nry: ' "A curse upon me that I can neither live nor die and lie thns betwlit and between I What of the prior eaa? How should she barm me or help me? "Her fame is great in theee parte," said tbe Friar, "and daily grows greater. In surgery and physio abe ha snob knowledge as Ood seldom gives to man. Tbe lame go there and cast away their crutches, and tbe blind see, and tbe old become yonng again. There is not a hodse in Nottingham or Mansfield where tbey shall not tell yon some great story of the wonders which the ha worked. ' "What avails it?" aiked Robin. "Kirklees is far away, in Yorkshire. I have neither the strength of limb to walk thither nor to ait my horse. If yoa loved me, you would take of tbe night shade in tbe forest and mix me a draft which should end all thial" "Tbat would I and speedily," said the Friar, "if tbe band ol death were indeed upon you, but it is sot aa Hap pily, in tbe letting of blood alone would you find relief, and were I a surgeon we would make a trial of it Say, Little John, are we already so sunken and en feebled that we cannot bear onr matter to tbe priory of Kirkleea in order that be may march back again with his ax rows in his belt and onntelves behind bim, as in the old times?" "It shall be done," said Little John. And Robin, lyiDg with eyes closed, said no word for or against So that night a litter was made ready and Robin wag laid upon it with bis bead on a pile of rushes and hia body covered with the skins of wolves, for bis natural heat had gone, and even in the day, when the sun was warm, he shivered. And every one of hia men went with him. For, by reason of tbe activity of the new sheriff, tbe danger of the journey was great and it waa needful to have scouts 'out far ahead to sure tbat all waa clear. Even so, and though tbey journeyed only by night not once or twice waa tbe alarm given, and only by a long de tonr did the band get through in safety. And when they drew near to tbe priory of Kirklees it was agreed that Little John and the Friar alone sbonld bear the litter to the gate. He would have strength enough him self to entr the presence of the prior. But lest he should be recognised and some barm should befall him, he car ried his horn hidden under hia cloak. One blast upon it would bring tbe whole of his men unto hia roooor. . .J iN Makes the food raof dJVca vitsoV!-son draak and went forth on socm errand that waa tboo.bt to mean certain death, and retttroed from It unscathed.

The handa tbat beJd tha book were white and very thin; the face still kept somewhat of Idoldbraa ty, bnt changM. There had been a long struggle and tbe enemy waa vanquiib ed, but be waa not dead and might yet arise again. As she walked there one of her maid ens brought ber word tbat a traveler. sore Fpent, bad been brought to the porter s lodge and from thence had been carried into tbe guest ball, and be beg ged tbe prioress would go to him and work a cure upon bim that bis strength might return and be might go on bia way. Even as abe entered tbe gneat ball she knew who it waa that lay there, and yet not by one figo did abe betray tbat she knew it. Robin lay with closed eyes and breath ing heavily. He waa conaciooa vaguely of women'a voices speaking near. bim lhen his position waa changed aome what Through eyes that alowly opened be saw the glint of sunlight fall on pol ithed brass and on a snowy napkin. Ha felt that some one was rolling back tbe loose sleeve of bis tunic. Then be oaugbt tbe sound of footsteps pacsing away in the distance. There waa a deep silence. and when be opened his eyes all had gone save the prioress, who looked at bim intently. "Do you know me?" ah said. "Aye," said Robin feebly. "I pray you to open my vein and let blood tbat 1 may recover me from tbe sudden weak ness which has fallen upon me." She bent down beside bim and said no word. He felt tbe sharp prick in tbe flesh of his bared arm, and tben it seemed to bim tbat he fell into a de lightful sleep. His sleep was full of the happiest dreams, melting vaguely into one an other. And tbey were all di earns of things that were past and over, a though the sleeping brain knew unoon? sciously that after ward there would be nothing. Maid Marian stood by him, young and beaut if in tbedayaof her willful youth, and whatsoever she bade him do. for ber be did, though he knew that 1 was to his ruin and undoing. He rode his great white boras through the forest on a very bright and sunny morning. AH the birds weij ainging to gether and a feeling of well being waa deep in his heart Hia men were beside him talking and laughing loudly. Suddenly out from their ambush sprang tbe sheriff' a men, and Robin and hia band fell upon them. That, too, passed. And now it was a clear moonlight night, and Maid Marian stood by tbe ruined chapel and looked at bim wist fully with tbat gentleness in her eyes whiob came to ber when ! last she loved. And now, again by night, be swam tbe cold waters of the moat at tbe Baron De Troiley's castle, and the bar on's archers shot afar or wide of him. Now he was with tbe king's army. The thought had oome to him that sine Maid Marian waa dead naught elsa mat tered, and he swore and raved and mind whether it waa by aocidot that abe bad taken ao mocb blood from bla arm, now tightly bandaged, or whether it waa of Inteotion, knowing him to be one deserving of death and thinking tbat in ao doing abe acted aa tbe eea-vanl of God and tbe king. It came into bia mind aa aomoch idle gneesrwork. Ii did not matter. Il might be dismissed. Hia reetleta ayes gasrd reran d tbe room.

Il waa bte green cloak, which bad been flung down there and lay Uvere in tbe ann- ligbt and onfler it be knew waa bidden bii banting born. Hard by the cloak waa the narrow open window. In the dittance frocn the chapel be could bear tbe f w ret voice of tbe nana singing. Suddenly tbe tbovght came to him tbsl be coo Id not die like this, like a rat in a trap a man that bad fallen into tb band a of a woman.
