NOTICE. EXTRADITION. A Declaration was signed in London on the 2lst of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Govern- ments, for amending Article I. of the Extradition Treaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Article will henceforth read as follows:— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisition made in their name by their respective Diplomatic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or convicted as principals or accessories of the crimes hereinafter specified, com- mitted within the territories of the requiring party shall be found within the territories of the other party." " In no case, nor under any consideration whatever, shall the High Contracting Parties be bound to surrender their oum subjects whether by birth or naturalisation."

THE ROLL CALL " In hospital at Scutari A wounded soldier lay ; The tide of life within his breast Was ebbing fast away ; His thoughts were wandering help- lessly In fever- fancies dim, And news of vict'ry or defeat Alike was nought to him. " His labored breath came slowly now, A painful race for life ! ( The ward was full of wounded men Struck down amid the strife) When suddenly he started up ! A light flashed in his eye ; He raised his hand above his head, And shouted, ' Here ain I !' " Then, panting, down he sank again, And all the ward was still ; Only, along those rows of beds There ran a sudden thrill. Whose was the voice their comrade heard, When all to them was hushed 1 Whfnce was the light that lit his eye, And o'er his paleness flushed 1 " Later, they asked him what it was ; His voice in whispers came, ' I heard the roll- call up in Heaven, And answered to my name !' Ah, yes ! the eyes so dim on earth Had caught a fadeless glow ; The Captain called His soldier home, And he must rise and go ! " Oh, brothers ! when the summons comes ( It may be drawing near !) When up above the roll- call sounds, That each of us must hear, Shall we arise with joyful hearts, Our erring past forgiven, And join the Captain we have loved, Who calls us home to Heaven 1 " Thou, who hath led our armies on, To fight with hosts of sin, Be at the door, good Lord, we pray, And let Thy soldiers in, To the bright land where all is peace, And banished every sigh, Oh ! give us strength, when Thou shalt call, To answer, ' Here ami!'"
