[For the Examiner. ] The Passage of the Balkans.

The Balkan shepherds in their chalets, Close up on the edge of snow, Looking down into the valleys, Saw the waves of men below— Waves that shimmered to and fro,

Undulating like the ocean Storm waves rolling on the coasts, Nearing with resistless motion — Saw the shepherds countless hosts From their observation posts,

Waves of men, with bayonet surf, Flowing o’er the heaths an] grasses, athom-deep along the turf, Rushing up the mountain passes, In among the basalt masses,

As at sea advancing rollers, With a fierce light on their edges, Hiaught in ire and mad with cholers, Breaking high upoa the ledges To sweep navies from their kedges:

Waves of gray with billowy motion Damming up the torrents’ courses — As in Triton wars of ocean Currents pit their malstroem forces, And ride in their fierce sea horses ;

Till above the sea of gray That dashed wild and effervescent, Sudden up with baleful ray Lurid, death-fraught, though quiescent, Rose the half-moon of the Crescent.

Then as a volcano mutters,

Shrieks, and breaks in lightning splashes, And the lava down the gutters

Soothing rans, emitting flashes,

And the tire-hail spits and dashes.

So the war the passes spanned :—-

Hurtled shell and rifle hissed, Death’s device on every hand Hidden in the battle mist, Till a decimated hand Flowed into the Turkish land.

Would’st thou think when the volcano Broke forth, its reverberations

Would be heard at San Stefano, And that Cossack cant and patience, - Would biot Turkey from the nations ?

in the future looking down _ On the fair Bulgarian plain, Shall be seen farm, village, town, Peaceful land and glad terrain, While the sombre Balkan chain Shall bulwark Europe’s peace amain. Hunter Dvuvar. >

A TERRIBLE ORDEAL.

How the Bravery of the Crew Saved the Allan Steamship “Moravian.” —A Fiendish Attempt to Burn the Vessel With All on Board.

The Montreal Star gives the following ac- count of what was near being a terrible catastrophe to the Allan steamship ‘‘Mo- ravian” in mid-ocean on her last voyage to Quebec on Monday, 29th ult. George Bar- clay, the boatswain, and Robt. Morris, the sailmaker, perceived smoke issuing from the forehold. ‘The chief officer being on watch set to work at once, and got the tarpaulins taken off, when a volume of fire and smoke, with a sickening smell, presented itself. The hose being got ready, Sinclair was the first to volunteer to go below, regardless of the danger, to direct the water on the burn- ing compartment. He was not long down when he had to be dragged to the top al- most dead from suffering. His place was immediately taken by Mr. Thompson, the first officer, who gallantly stood his ground until he was overcome also by the gases that had been generated. The engines were kept going, and water was poured down without cessation till the fire was got under control. So admirable was the discipline among the crew that everything was done without confusion or disorder, and the cabin passengers all the time were quietly sleeping in their berths unconscious of bein

in such imminent danger. The steerage an

intermediate passengers were aroused, the fire being close to their quarters, but were so assured that their terror did not amount to anything further than an immediate re- sort to prayer. Many who it was after- wards seen had never offered a supplication before, were the loudest and most demon- strative in their appeals in the face of the terrible danger that stared them in the face. One of the passengers said that a panic existed for a short time among the steerage passengers, that they took posses- sion of the boats, and would not get out of them ; but other passengers state that this was not the case, and that the covers were not taken off the boats during the trying ordeal. The fire was discovered between three and four o’clock, a. m., but it is thought it had been smouldering from the time the ship left port the Thursday pre- viously. It originated.in one of the com- partments in the lower hold among the woollen goods, and it is said that they must have contained a large quantity of oil, as the smell that was emitted was frightfully offensive. It is stated that, had the flames not been subdued at the moment they were, a terrific explosion might have

Summer Island Resorts.

The book recently issued by Harper & Brothers, entitled ‘‘ The Atlantic Islands as Resorts for Health and Pleasure,” by Mr. 8. G. Benjamin, is a careful work and a choice book for summer reading. The author was very much charmed with the green Isle of the Gulf. After describing Charlottetown at some length he says :—

‘* But one who has been in Charlottetown a week or two is not satisfied only with the evi- dence of insular prosperity furnished at the Government offices by the courteous and effi- cient servants of Her Majesty, or by the pleasant glimpses of farm and river and sea gained from window and roof. These very charming bits of nature only serve to tempt the visitor to sally forth, and, in carriages or boat or by rail, to view for himself the exqui- site beauty of the Island and the proofs offered on every hand of its thriving condition ; as well as the manifold attractions it offers to the tourist and invalid—in summer and fall, should be added with emphasis.”

Mr. Benjamin goes on to deal with all the more picturesque parts of the Island, its watering places, fishing industries, ice- boating in the straits, etc., closing with cordial remarks on Prince Edward Island hospitvlity.

A Policy of Bribery Throughout.

The Government of Canada have made extraordinary efforts to get rid of their op- ponents by appointing them to office. They are anxious to have them take office and serve their party, but they do not demand service in all cases. They are perfectly willing to have them take office and quit politics. In Nova Scotia, knowing Govern- or Archibald to be politically opposed to them they offered him a second term, to prevent him from taking the field for the Commons. In New Brunswick they of- fered Governor Tilley a second term; and to Hon. George E. King, their ablest op- ponent in the Province after Governor Til- ley, they offered a Judgship, passing over Judge Watters and all the leading lawyers on their own side of the House. They de- test Judge Fisher, yet so anxious was Mr. Burpee to get Mr. King out of the way that he was willing to appoint even Judge Fisher to the Governorship in order to get a Judg- ship to offer Mr. King! When they finally decided on a Governor, they took Mr. Chandler, another political opponent, in the | hope that the appointment would bring to) Sir Albert Smith’s side a few voters in)

wise be cast against him. been a policy of bribery throughout, and it is not surprising, under the circumstances, that they find discontent in their party.— Moncton Times.

The father of the Church of Scotland is dead—-the Rev. Alex. Campbell, of Weem, Pertshire. He was in the ninetieth year of his age, was ordained in 1820, and had been

minister at Weem for fifty years,

occurred, as the partition of the oil room, where a large quantity of oil was kept, was nearly burned through. [f this had occurred, nothing could have saved the ship from abosolute destruction. A large quantity of the burning bales were thrown overboard, and the firehold was deluged to such an extent with water that a very considerable portion of the cargo

jwill be seriously damaged, but to what

actual extent has yet to be ascertained. The captain, officers, and crew acted throughout in a most praiseworthy manner, and the crew especially are entitled to the very highest reward for their courage aad

discipline. The passengers passed a resolution of thanks to the captain, and acknowledged the brave services

of all under him. During the time of the fire it was blowing a gale of wind, the sea being so rough that there would have been a poor account of any boat that would have had to go ont on it. Fortunately it was not required, all being safely landed at Quebec on Saturday.

The passengers are of opinion that the fire was the work of some fiend, who de- liberately placed combustibles in the bales of goods, for his own infamous purposes. An investigation is now proceeding.

ee An Astonishing Fact,

A large proportion of the American peo- pe are to-day dying from the effects of

yspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy asample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the Western Continent.
