Whilst absolute liberty Of worship Is proclaimed

of impeachment and of calumny. In the former
there exists State church, and contributions fof

The Lock of Hair.

Lieutenant Parsons, in his "Nel-
sonic "reminiscences" relates the
following:
Richard Bennett, when MORALLY
wounded, in one of Nelson's great
battles, had requested that mini
ature and lock of his hair should be
given by Lieut. p, to his sweet heart,
Susette, in Scotland. The gallant
lieutenant thus describes the inter
view:
"It was at the close of a day when
bright July sun was setting, that ]
arrived at the pretty cottage OF Su-
settles mother. TREMENDOUSLY sta
ted who was to the most respecta-
bic looking matron | ever saw, Of
Fench extraction. In broken, bitter
accents of heartfelt grief, she told
me her daughters death was daily
expected, and requested time to pre-
pare her to see me.
"At last she expressed a wish to
see the friend of Richard Bennett;
and | was admitted to one of the
fairest daughters Of Eve. And
found this world unequal to her
charms. She was propped up with
pillows, near the open lattice of her
bedroom that was clustered with
roses. Her white dress and the dra,
perry of the room accorded will
the angelic vision, who now turn
ed her lustrous eyes upon me
yelled in long tringed eye!ids she
held out her transparent hand, and
gently pressed mine, as stopped tc
kiss it; and, as she felt my tears drop
on it, softly murmured: 81 wish
could cry that would relieve my poor
heart" She gasped for breath, and
respired with difficulty. "The lock
of hair-quickly let me see ite She
caught at it, wildly passed it to her
lips and heart, and fell back. Hel
mother and | thought she had fain-
ted; but the pure and innocent soul
had returned to God-God who gave
it."

The Old Green Lane.
BY ELIZA COOK.

=
Twas a very merry summer time
That CARL lands, hills and dells,
And the south wind rung fairy chime
Upon the fox glove bells.
The cuckoo stood en- the lady birch
To bid her last good by
The lark sprung over the village church,
And whistled to the sky,
And We had come from the harvest sheayes
A blithe and tawny train.
And tracked our path with poppy leaves
Along the old green lane.
Twas pleasant way on asummer day,
And we were happy set,
As we idly bent where The strcamlet went
To get our fingers wet:
With The dog rose here, and the orchis there,
And the woodbinc twlning through,
With the broad trees meeting every where,
And the grass still damp with dew,
All! we all forgot in that b'issfuI spot,
The names of care and pain,
As we lay on the bank by the Shepherds cot
To rest in the Old green lane.
Oh days gone by /. can but sigh
AS think of that rich hour,
When my heart in its glee seemed to be
Another woodaide flower;
For though the trees be still as fair,
And the wild bloom still as gay
Though The sotuh wind sends as sweet an air
And heaven a bright day;
Yet the merry set are far and wide,
And we never shall meet again
We shall meyer ramble side by side
Along that old green lane.

Dimensions of Heaven.

The following calculation, based on
a text of Revelation, is both curious
and interesting. 1t is copied from
the Charlottesville JelIersonian, and
will suggest thoughts for those who
think:
"A DESCRIPTION OF HEAvEN.-Rcv-
citation xxi. chap, l6 vcrse.-"And
he measured the city with the reed
twelve thousand furIongs. The
length, and the breadth, and the height
of it, are equal" --..

600 feet, which, being cubcd, is-9l3,-
OSS, 100000, 100000 100000 cubical
feet; the half of which we will reserve
for the Throne of God and Court OF
Heaven, halfof the balance for streets,
and the remainder divided by 1906,
the cubical feet in the room 16 feet

S43, $50 100000 rooms.

230 such worlds, equal to this num-
Der of inhabitants, and duration OF

would be room"
