husband had retired TO rest from the lahors of the

him of this fault, she night filled her pan with

SONG,

s,.ru NJ the YaneuiI Hall Dinner, on
the nth June, 1913.
s The following song was sung to the air Of
"Sparkling and bright"
ny II. 7. TUcKsRMAN. 49,.
Lonely and still was the veIdant hill
And the waves below yet slumbered,
The breezes ligh, as summer night
All the dewy hours numbered;
The Sentry's tramp from the foeman's camp
With his tone of hasiy warning.
Came low and clear to the yeoman's sar
As he watched the early dawning.
The heroes though. as they bravely wrought
Their coun,ry's altar rearing,
Of noble land by Valor's hand
Made free and remembering;
In firm array, when broke the day,
The deadly charge they waited.
And side by side in silent prize.
With skill their prowess mated.
Then waved the sword, then blood was pour'd,
Expressions host dismaying,
While the dea,h.rent air and the lannon's glare
Ger freedoms birth were playing;
And that green height with the evening light
Cuts crimson turf o'ershading,
Had holy grown as freedoms throne,
Like her starry crown uRfading.
Once more the skies with summer dyes
Above the Geld are bending,
And the waters still beneath the bill
Their or ystal waves are blending;
Blu, Peace divine around the shrine
Her boundless harves, wearing.
Bids Us proclaim to dea,hless fame
Our fathers malchless daring.
To-day throng with fesial song
The sacred mount o'erfowing,
Have gathered there with pomP and prayer,
And all hearts with rapture glowing;
On the CORY bed Of the msriyr'd dead,
10 shade majestic sleeping.
Stands Freedoms pile 10 glory's smile
Eternal vigil keeping. i.

CHINESE ETYMoLoGIEs.- A writer
in the Boston Courier, who takes the
signature Of Choong Kwoh, says;
"When the thirteen stripes and stars
first appeared at Canton, much curiosi-
ty was excited among the people.
News was circulated that strange ship
had arrived from the further end OF
the world, bearing flag "as beautiful
as the flower" Every body went to
see the k,oa Zee chuen, or slower flag

now called k,co kee k,ooh, the "hdwer

mana more complimentary desgna-
ton than that of "red headed barbara
an"---the name first bestowed upon the
Dutch.
1t is we'll known that all proper
names in Chinese are significant, every
character in the language expressing a
thing or an idea, as well as sound.
There are, consequently, no unmean-
ing names in Chinese corresponding
to our Tom, Dick, and Harry, Jones,
Dauis, and Jenkins: but mans name
must be something like House or Barns,
White or brown, Flood or Stone, Wood
or Waters. Foreign names, however
unmeaning originally, acquire, when
written in Chinese, a significance which
is often strikingly curious.
Yankee Doodle and Washington are
the most remarkable of these etymolo-
gies. which have vel come under my
notice.-The two Chinese characters,

fe-lee, "the flag Of The ocean, sovereign
people of the world" This is an o.

Chinese do not suspect there is 'some-
thing in it," we must give them cred
it for being less superstitious than many
other people.

his transition into Chinese, for NO,
shing tung, as it would be written
signifies no less than "rescue and glo.
ry at Iast"-could the name of the
father Of bis country be expressed with
more felacious truth9
The Chinese attach great importance
to expressive and high soundingnames;
and an ambassador TO the Court of Pc
kin, whose name had not something
imposing in Chinese, would be receiv-
ed pretty much in the way that Bubb
Doddington anticipated when he tho,
Of going minister to Spain. The Com
missioner from the United States is
very luckily gifted in this respect, for
Gushing means "ancient glory"-a
name that will satisfy the most fastid-
ious courtier at the Meaou Tang, and
augurs prosperous issue 10 the "whole

Chinese has been said to be Ian

by foreigner. This, the writer pro-
nounces a monstrous exaggeration, and
afirms that il is not more difficult than
Greek or German. He adds, that Chi

that books there, are as cheep as news
