AM BIGHTS RESERVED. J 1 HOME, SWEET HOMEj By NOR RYEMAN. Author of A Prison \Yarùer'3 Reminiscences," etc., etc. Hame, hame, bame, bame fain wad I be H?me. ha']M. tmne, in my ?n countree." It was springtime when I, Jack Medticott, Mid good-bye to the Golden Canister, and set out on my first voyage in Cousin Lennie s ship, the Lively Sally. which was bound for Hindostan with merchandise. It behoved me to act the man, as I was going to play the part of one on the world's stage as a sailor man, or. rather, sailor lad bob 'twas mighty hard to do so, especially when dear, loving sister Sal took the place of my dead mother, and gave motherly counsel. with a break in her tender voice and with ears in her pretty blue eyes, and Dulcie, the pec of the house, clung to me and cried— Our Jack tant do, he tant." "Pooh, pooh, s&id Dad. in a hoarse vcice, taug ue lads, toddlekins. tl:ey have to go out into the world, and pick up their living as birds do crumbs they can't be tied to women's apron strings all their life—nay, they won't be if they are worth anything.! So you must give our Jack two kisses, one for good luck and one to thmk of, and let him go." Du!cie lifted up her tear- stained face. whisper&d, "Bing me a big, big cocoanut back. if the savages don't eatr to. Jack," and let me go. I carried a heavy heart to the dock.! as well as my clean shirts, but father chered Ii noe on the way, and I was all a tiptoe to see the world when the .sailor men let go the Mtchor, and sang out Yo, heave ho t.'t& not going to spm a. long yarn about my arst voyage, not 1. You can imagine how I had to learn to climb masts in a cat-like way, to keep my feet when the deck was like; t swinging- boat at a fair, to eat suit junk when 1 should have liked boiled mutton, to in a hammock without tumbling ou; to take sea baths when I didn'b want 'em, Md tet me say this in conhdence, to do wtthout. Sal's cossetting when I felt sick aud my head ached. Yes, you can picture all this to yourself. but you can't put yourself into my skm. and describe buw I felt when I found myself stranded, a shipwrecked waif on the coast af Madagascar, where we'd been cast on the return v<'yage.. N ever did the sun warm a sorrier group of castaways than did the sun I which warmed Cousin Lennie, the <n6tte, :md myself, as we took our rest under I t palm and slept. the sleep of wretchedness lnd of exhaustion. When we opened our eyes we found ourselves surrounded by a rour of brown-skinned natives, under tha ¡ leadership of a chieftain named Deean Mevarrow, who led us away captive to their village or settlement. I cannot say that our captors treated us onkindly. rather, on the contrary, did they 1 treat us kindly. They gave us food and <tr)nk, gave us less bio.vx than might have been expected when we did amiss, and even refrained from ill-treating us when we. being !Jhrisbans, refused to pay homage to the idol diey set up. Still. -,viLh a!i this. ws astaw;¡ys were homesick. I hungered for Lunnontown. Sam. the mate, hungered for :he downs of Sussex, and Leonard Medh- :o[t, wlio had no settled home, hungered to .h;1\"e onc with my pretty sister Sal. The only!emedy tor home sickness is to {O homo. So we accordingly put on our thinking caps. and planned how and when to escape. If we cau only make our way though the dense forests, escape the pirates' forts, and keep well we shall reach salt water, and then hurrah for old England," cried Lennie. "\Ve must bf free or die, captain. s<ud Sam let's wait tiU these n'ggers have a junketin', and t!ten. Itey, presto, wll go." Agreed. re- plied the captain. and so to cut a long tale short we did. \Ve waited tdl the natives hoppad itbout like a company of monkeys. iustead of rational human beings, and then we took oG'.

WBe honle, T!)''rf' no p!aco )!l:e Tt wa?; Christmas time, there was a nice I frost, nù a chill w'nd nipped our facea. as Cousin Lennie and me made our way to the well known home by the river side. which we ha.d too often seen in visions of the I night when in durancs. All seemed to be a<< we had left i': at the of the Golden Canister. The board showed us that Mark Mcditcott (that was dad) still sold gunpowder and other teas, and Mocha co<Tee. at various prices the canister had been refill, the steps were white, all was the same &s of old outside the house, but inside alt was otherwise. The room was like a £;reen bower, it was true, and a ldrgc plum pudding was on a dtah, but Sal wore n. black frock, father wore a thoughtful look, and Dulcies httic chair was empty. Where's Toudtckins? I asked, directly I had exchanged reetings and told my tale. Dulcie sleeps. mid Dad, slowly. Dulcie sleeps—— He c&me to a halt. and I added-— Upstairs in her cot < \Ve!t.

Thf Sister Sal accordingly did (in as near M poss'b!c) the following words ;—" We felt lonesome here at The Canister when ?BTT' gone and to add to our misery, evil timc'! began. Trade grew stack. Dad grew uneasy, *nd at last he ws arrested for debt t)t0 instance of Chulve.the mercer, of whom he had borrowed money, and was t;aken off to the F!eet Prison. Uld Betty sobbed, and !et the fire out, and I re- membered the inscription on mother's tombstone. She hath done what she could,' tad tried to do what I could. I put en my Sunday frcck and mob a.nd served the customers, and between whiles looked after Dulcie. who'd been taken Ht with low fever. She lay on her little whttc bed, with a face which was sometimes M 1?1 at a snowdrop, and sometimes as red M a poppy and when I asked her if she'd Ilke anything, she said. Yes. da.ddy,' and «you know, I couidn t bring him. Betty said, We'H bring him soon, my poppet,' but Dulcie wanted soon. and by and Qy, to be there, and fell asleep with his Mtae on her lips. (.)b. sac! was the day she dtcd M the Golden Canister. Betty threw her apron over her head and cried bitterly, and Y wondered tell dad that he'd lost htadarhng. and wept. too and as we cobbed someone pushed open the street door -WhlQ¡\ was aJM—and cams into the deso- t&te, wefprng room. TIus someone waa a man of medium MM. who was clad m hlack, and wore white bMds, hko x parson, round his neck He had & mild and thoughtful face. and his voice WAS kind!y as ho 3aid.

I am John Wesley the Preacher, and I come to see if I can minister unto you in your Mrrow, for I heard your lamentations aa I ,a.saed' by m the street.' Then Old Betty flung her apron from I across her face, wiped her eyes with it, and spuke. Sir,' said she, I'm Bet Lawson, and I've heard of your preaching many I times, and oft but I make bold to say that never a miner in the Cornish tin mines, nor an ironworker down in Staffordshire, ever wanted you more than this poor sheep here —poor lorn Mistress Sat. Her brother, and her future husband, who are sailor men, and away on the high seas. the Lord and the sea birds alone know where her father (my mister) is in the Fleet for debt, and her only sister, tiny Duicie. is lying dead up- stairs. Let me look on the little cne,' sa.id Wesley, sofdy, and we took him into the quiet chamber, wherein the child who once pouted and laughed, and cried in a breath, as it were, lay like a sculptured marble 6gure on an abbey tomb. Re bent over her and placed his hand, as if in blessing, on her flaxen head then he knelt down and prayed, and when we were once more in the keeping room, he said, My child, all is well with the little one upstairs, for she is ta.ken from the evil, and will one day hear the glad Talitha cumi (my Httle Iamb arise). Now, I must think of those whom she has left behind in this naughty world. They must not be left like shfpherdless sheep in a wilderness. State the fact. of your father's case,pli:;tress Medlicot.6..Hid writs me out a lis& of his creditors. Th:3 I did, and he left the Golden Canister with my statement in his hand. A.nd now listen, both of you. As the day- light waned on the succeeding day, the dad came home a free man. for Mr Wesley had canvassed his creditors, made an arrange- ment with them. and procured his release. Vemy, <t xood dead is like a golden star, it shines brightly when all around is dark. Welcome home. dear wanderers. Our Christmas circle wil! be unbroken now. I behove that mother ;¡,nd Dulcie will be with us, although we ahaU not see them. because cur eyes ?:'e sealed.

I FOOTBALL NOFES. I
FOOTBALL NOFES. r ———'——— r By Old Stager. I Tma b!da faif to be an excmne! season. Thera is nob a donbt about it. Since the e!ubs settled down each week has afforded genuine surprise?. LMt year'a form i! in no measure re!iab!e, and wa are forced to the coaciusion that the wtandard of play in South Wales is progressing towards perfection at t genera! and rapid rate. AH wit! agree with me that the prize packet in I Saturday's matches was the defeat of Newport by Swansea, & performance of which any tbam may just!y be proud, and one that stamps the con. querora as a XV. entit!ed to mnk with the champtons in tho Rugby wortd. I am not goinf to ctaim that I propheaied the resutt, or that I went to Swansea expecting to sea another drawn game on the other hand. the sole purpose of my visit to St. Heten's waa to see the numerous recruits in the home team tested against a side and in a game when any weakness would neces- sarily prove fata). If they had ta.)ent I desired to be abte to appreciate it" Not for a moment did I think that Newport wou!d f.ul to win, though after iong experience of Abertawe on its own ground, I nrm)y beHered that the match wou!d be far from an easy one to the Usksiders. Resoluteness has always been a charMtenstic of the nsen. Ib is a long while since in so important a fixture a Wetsh ciub has been forced to introduce so many new and untried men. Swansea has ex- parienced more i)!-)uck through having to makn changes in its back division than any two other Welsh c!ubs. When a decent quartette h<.a bean got to work weU together accident has robbed the cfub of utiHsing it but for short spalls. Swansea's forwards have never been reaHy weak, but with the mainstay of the team in the front tine, tho club's scoring sheet h<\s not been so pretty in receat) years as it must have been had the backs been abta to get rea!!y accustomed to each other's play, NaturaHy under these circumstances the ctub game has become mai))!y a forward one, and as a spectacte had not compared with the exhibitions of neighbouring teams to the West and East. Never perhaps were youngsters so severo!y handicapped as in the mate!) under notice. They were drafted into the front rank at a bound, and expected not onty to do as their predecessors, but to gain back fnr the c!ub its po:]t)on in the front rank. Sincel890-l.whenSwa.nxea roundly thrashed Newport, wiullinlf the four malchè. with 6 goals 9 tries to 2 goa.is 1 try. victory has always rested with Monmouthshire men, who have scored no fewer than 14 goats and an equat number of tries to a so]itary g'i:d. Indeed in the iast throe the Westerners have failed to notch a point. The recruits therefore tmd a big task, and they addressed thpmssivea with a p!uck and determination which wil! be acknowledged fully merited the success achieved. Person-dty I Mn ou!y sorry that New- port has been prevented going through the season without a reverse, for the check, administered as it v/as, wii! h!<vf n far-reaching i'if!uencG ')1I !oc.d foatba't. Of tate pub'ic tnterest in Swansea chstricb has been on the wanp, presuma.bly o'.ving totheinfiin'erent tnd un-preUy performances of the AU Whites. Oi Sn.turd:<.y there wr :\ttr¡\ct.fÙ the iargpst crowd of this season, and the homo forwards put reat trust in their hacks, with tho result that the and away the tpost open I have seen at St. Hf-!eu'-i for severat years. With the chib fairiy started on the up grade more "heart''wit) be put into the men, and the quatity of their ply wiH be kept up t.o concert! pitch, becauso the wIn h:,¡,s ,howl! the presence of real abiHty in tha youngsters, and when the injured men recover there wt!t be, in aU a keen competition for places aH thrur.gh the "eason.

The has been welt described by our veteran S \V<J.nse:\ reporter. n')d with the which foHow his report my ripmions pr.-cttcaHy coincide.

Proposed Wetsh Musical Festiva).
Proposed Wetsh Musical Festiva). tNFLUENTtAL GATHER!NG AT PONTYPRiDD. Cardiff Selected for Next Year's Gathering S!R JOSEPH BARNBY ELECTED CONDUCTOR. On Saturday a largely-,ittended gatlieritig of South NVales musicians was held at Pontypridd to further dtscuss the proposal to carry out the idea thrown out by Sir Joseph Barnby to hold a Welsh festival in which the choirs should be corn. posed of the picked voices of Wa!es. Mr E. W. M. Corbatt presided, and the attendance included Dr. Parry, Cardifi Messrs Jacob D&vies, Car- diff W. A. Morgan (secretary). Cardiff Tom Stephens, Treorky D. Bowen. J.P., Abercarn E. Owen. J.P., Cardiff D. Phi!!ips, Ponty- pridd D. E. Davies (Dewi Mabon), Cwm. amman J. E. Deacon, CardiR Taliesia Hop. kins, Cymmer R. Lloyd Jones, M)skin Wa)ter Prothero, Pontypoot; M. 0. Jones. Treherbort E.isDar. Mardy; Gwi!ym Thomas, Forth ;Thcmas Williams, Pontypridd; Walter Hogg, Pontypridd; John Williams (Hew Ebbwy), Cirdiff T. G!yndur Richards, Pontyeymmer; Edmund Evaus (Ifr'yn), AbEl'; Evan Wat.kins, Btaeny. cwm W. J. EvatM, Aberdare; and others, these gentlemen having been elected a musical committee at the genera.) conference, held under the presidency of Mr Alfred Thomas, M. P..a fortnight) previously. Mr Evao Oweu, J.P., whose name was now added to the committee, explained that Mr Louis Tyior was unavoidably absent in consequence of other engagemenia. At the outset it was uuanimous)y resolved that the title of the festiva) shou!d be The South Wa!es Musica) Festive," and that it be held in the Rosebery HaH. Cardiff, which i<! to be removed to the grounds of the proposed CardtS Exhibition. A suggestion pf Mr E. Owen. J.P., that probably thePut.typridd Eisteddfod Pavilion could be re-orected for the purposes of the feettval was discussed, but it was deemed impracticable and too expeustve, especiaHy having regard to the fact that the use of the Rosebery ,HaI! cou)d possibly be secured without charge. The CHAIRMAN pointed out that although ho was cnnnejt.ed with the proposed cxhtbitton at Card)Q'. and he had no authority for saying so, stit: he was ahno't certain that the exhibition authorities would be glad to Isud the Rosebery HtUf for nothing for this purpose, and he hoped that they oou!d be induced to let the members of the chorus enter the exhibition free of eharse. Of course the matter had not yet been brought forward. With reference to the date. Mr W. A. MORG,\N strongly suggested that the festival should extend over two days, pointing out that the expenses for two dnys would not be very inuc't larger than the expons&s of one. He moved a resolution to that effect-. v/hich was supportsd by Mr Jacob Davies, Dr. Parry, and Mr Tom Stephens.—MrTahesm Hopkins feared the chorus could not be expected to defray their expenses for two days whore. upon the Chairman expressed a hope that some means might be devised to surmount the dtfSeuity of expense.—The resolution was ac- cordixgiy adopced, the dates nxcd for tho festival being the first Monday and Tuesday in June. With reference to the expenses of the chorus, the Chairman said that the travethng expense-; of the n.enibeta to Cardiff, twice for rehearsal and twice for the feiitivat, would amount, at Si per head, to about .6230. He hoped that P, goo.:) dea] of this sum cou!d be raised by th& choirs thetrlsel ve in their reactive districts by means of concerts, &c.—Dewi Msbon considered tha!; the railway expenses, at least of the choir?, mus'i be guaranteed, and possibiy the choirs wou'd by local eSort raise funds to purchase tho mus.ic. Oil the motion of Dr. Parry, supported by Mr M. 0. Jones and .others, it was resolved that the rttilwiy f-xpenses of the choirs be guaranteed. A long discussion foHowed on the question of stil)plving the members w)!h copies, and u]timate]yi!: was reso)ved that the'music, as weH as the r.u!way fares, of the choristers be aiso sruaranteed by the executive. On the question of works to be pprtorrned, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr W. A. MorR:m, that two camp!ete wotk:! be pfri'Qrn)6d, xnd ona I mi"celI>\neons concert hc!d. Dr. Parry moved, uTtd it WM resotvi'd, rha!; one of the worki;b3 Mr !3gpwe4 j Abercarn, and Me D. M. Davies urged that for I the second piee they shouid select! the work of some living W<tsh composMr, and tha last.u:1nh?ù p:ent]eman tirged that for sucapedilq festival they should ask 'V:'1",h muticians to compose !'pcí 1\1 work< (Hear. hfar.) "Israel in Egypt," Hymn of Praise." "The Messiah," and "Ti)0 Crc.lt¡on wera suKge.st.ed for the Mcond work. Mr BL'wcn said he was quite ready to drop his that the second work shouM be by a. Wetsh composer if th"y pJedffed thf-msetves to ask We!")) composers to compose specie wot-li,3 for future festival?. (Cheer:)—The Ct'airman I pointed cu!: it was d'Iffi!Ltlt to I)Iellge future cnm- mit-tees, but: t.heyeou!d enter upon the minutes a recommendation to thit: effect if a second f estiva) was held.—Mr R. L'oyd Junes dec!ared that thu object of the festival should ba the nurture of !<cat ta)ent.—Dr. P<<rry hoped that nothing' be new avowed to stand in the way of :), Welsh fe-tiva.1 such as now proposed, and which he had dreamt of for year; If in future festival they desired to commission Woish composer. that couid t'as'iy bo done.—The Ch.tirmau said that for the next festival, which was reaity an eXp'l'illlt:'llta¡ on", there wou)d be no time for such a thin)?, but they wre aU agreed that for future festiv.<!s su') a course was desu'ab'e.

According to debits of the troubles &6 Erzingnan received from a Turkish source, the disturbances arose through an Armenian killing a Mussulman pricet. The M:thomedans became bitterly incensed and attacked the Armenians< of whom nfcy were kitled. Teu Mussutmaa a.!so lost their lives. Order h&s now been restored. News has arrived this evening of an outbreak in the Mush diatnct. There are no details.—ReM<er. REPRISAL AT BITLIS. CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday Evening—The Governor-General of Bitlis has teteRraphed to the Porte that yesterday the Armenians, with arms in their hands, attacked the moaquas of the town a.t the very time when all Mussuimen were assembled in them for Friday's prayers. The oScia! te!egram continues The Mussuhnen taken by snrprise, and being without am!?, had to defend thoir lives against their assailants, using stoues and sticks. Some of the Armaniaus afterwards barricaded themselves iu the Khans, and continued to use their arm3. During the rio!: people were kitted and wounded on both sides. i-Beutel'. THE REFORM SCHEME. CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday Evening.—The fu!t text of the reform scheme agreed to by the Forte and the Powers has been supplied to omcials and others concerned in its <u!n!ment. By this the Hamadie Cavalry are made amanabta to ordinary tribunals. Commissions to revive property titles are appointed each commission will be composed of tour members- two Mussutman and two non Mussutman. Moreover, four delegates are to be sent from jJonstautinople to the vitayets to investigate any irregutarities which may arise in connection with properties. Forced !abour is abolished. The sate for debts to the State or personal debta of the house of the debtor or the !and necessary for his subsistence or his I implements of labour remains prohibited. A permanent Commission of Control at Con' stanti)uop!o is to be instituted at the Sublimo I Porcp, under the presidency of a Mussulman, composed of an cq'ia! number of Mussutmans and non-Mussulmans, and charged to see to the strict I' carrying out of the reforms. The Embassies' w)H bring before this Commisston, through the medium of their dragomans, advice", communications and intpHigence which they sha)! deem necessary in connection with the enforcement of reforms. When the Sublime Porte and the Embassies are agreed in consider. ing the Commission to have accompHshcd its task, it wiU be dissolved. An ottioiat worthy of consideration in all respects is to be appointed by the Imperial Government, and sent on tour through the dinnrent localities under!the titto of High Commissioner (Mufet)ieh) with the special task of supervising the execution of reforms and of presiding over their application. This High Commissioner is to be accompanied on his mission bv a non' Mussuhnan deputy (Moavin). Amnesty is granted to Armenians accused of, or con. demned for, poetical acts and who have not been convicted of direct participation in offences againstthe commonlaw. ThoseArmenian9 who havo fled or been exited are to be permitted to return freely to Turkr'y after their Ottoman nationality and good conduct have been proved. It is st't! uncertain whether an Imperia) hatb embodying the reforms agreed upon wiH be pr(lllluJgated, but should no hatt be publishfd, it is thought that the futt text of the Reforms Act wiH be in all the papers in the shlh) of an omciiJ communication, as wa.s done with the substance of the Act published m the Turkish newspapers on October 20tti.-&,uter. SEDITIOUS MOVEMENT AMONG I TURKS. Advices from Constantinople state th&t the Liberal movement among the Turks i,4 becoming more marked. Seditious placards h&veagnin benn discovered in tha city. The disappeari.mco of several Softis !md persons of note is reported, and some rnititary nieasures iiiive been taken. WHOLESALE ARRESTS AND EXECUTIONS.
