Peabody made an address on the text from St. John, 11th chap. and 45th verse: "But went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim."

Meanwhile the same elaborate preparations have been going on at the other end of the ground, and in a few moments the men are standing opposite each other, the one small and lithe, the other a stout heavy man, with the head and neck of a bull. Each man has his second - also partially protected by padding - who stands close by him on the left, with a blunt sword in his hand. Between...
