SEoRET SoCIET1Es IN CH1NA.--Secret soci-
cites are rife in China. The principal of
these are the Societies of the Triad, of the
White billy, of the Blue Lily, of the Calls
Head, of the Sun, of Sparkling Honor, of
gin of the White Cloud, of the Short Sword,
and lastly, the Society that has no Mother.
The last and most audncious of these sects
denies the fundamental dogma Of Chinese
belief, viz: respect for the past, for the fam
lily, and for ancestors. The most powerful
and dangerous is that of the Short Sword
which is now dominant throughout the Pro-
vince of Fie-Kien, which its members are
ravaging both with sword and fire and the
most widely spread is that of the Triad,
which aims at overthrowing the dynasty of

HoV Joyous to-day is the Httle old town,
"a With banners and streamers anu shNf soFt Of

And the ancient Cathedral is hne as king.
And his face Is Is bright es a Jericho rose

And I'm sure that the cock the steeple will crow
When he hesrs nom the city the iubilant roar.
Ana ribbons are streaming from bosom and hair
And they laugh in the face of each young man theJ
And tho young men reply with an iusOlont stare
It's not without reason the old town is gay,
And banners and ribbons are roddening the air,
Tor beautiful Bertha will marry to-day
With gallant young Albert the son Of the Mayor
He Is brown as a nut from the hazels Of Spain:
her tace, Ike the twilight ts pensive and sweet
Low blsssinss, like flowers, fall unseen at thelr
feet. Hf
While they sveeP. like twin-bsrks through the
story il falling from uany tongue
OF the young Gipsy Prince who year ago bowed
At the shrine where a hundred their passion had
And how bertha hoared scorn on his love aud hii
race, ,
How she flung in the street tho rich presents ht
OnlAi ne WIN Nne nNITbu OF neil IN MS Iaces
Went sulleuly back to bis tribe and his tent.
Soon all stories are hushed in a gathering roar,
And the people sway back Ike tho ebb Of tide,
And the rosy old sexton stands by the church door
To merrily welcome the bridegroom and bride:
But his glee is 50 great that he does not behold
The tail man that stands near the pillar hard by,
Nor the flash Of the dagger that's hafted with gold
Nor the stin keener fash Of the lowering eye.
On they come, and the sexton bows low to the
ground,
The bride smiles q welcome, the bells ring a
chime,
While grand acclamation in surges Of sound
Thrills up through the sky ike sonorous rhyme,
They under the pOrch-when one dash through
the crowd
One fash of a dagger-one shriek Of despair,
Aud Bertha falls dead while stern faced and proud,
The swarthy skinned Prince Of the Gipsies is
therel
How soniter to-day is the little o,d town,
With mourning and sables and funeral display;
Long weepers are hanging from battements brown,
And the ancient Cathedral is haggard and gray.
The sexton white rose has put in his breast,
While his face is Bs blank as a snow laden sky,
Poor Bertha and Albei have gone to their rest,
And the Prince Of the Gipses is swinging on high.

You've brought me treasures from the
woods,
Berries, in scarlet cluster,
Golden and purple autumn flowers.
And leaves of wondrous luster.
Here over lichens, quantity shaped,
Are graceful fern-plumes bending,
And rarest MOSES, many-hued.
Their fairy charms are blending.
With grasses sere, and lily pods,
Shells, pebbles, rushes slender;
And. 10. across these hazel twigs.
A web in dew pearled splendor.
And here an empty birds nest, is,
How sweet its simple story,
OF bope that built, and love that warmed,
What song o'er-roofed with glory.
Oh friend beloved, with your gifts,
Are fairest pictures, thronging,
OF sun-lit hills, and shadowed wales.
While TO my spirits longing
You've brought the tones that float, and
flow,
About the water lily,
And shown me spider Puck at work,
Beneath the moonlight Silly.
And have tracked you far away,
/
Ger fields of scented clover,
To quietudes where heavens light,
And love-air softly hover.
Where dew drops shower, from morning
boughs,
And through far forest reaches,
A tangled wealth of ferns and flowers,
Sweet breathed, below the beeches.
Lure me still OF, where shadows fit.
And sunbeams follow after,
And light winds rollick through the leaves
With low and gleesome laughter.
And streams of crystal hurry on.
With babble. sweet,and childly,
And mountain peaks reach heavenward,
And wild birds warble wildly.
Then softly sweet, and sweetly soft,
When day and darkness mingle,
The whh Of wings and sleepy song,
OF insects in the dingle
Lower and lower grow At last,
To perfect silence dying;
Where fairy folk in slumbers deep.
On mossy beds are lying.
And 50 it is, as have told,
I In these faint broken measures,
NV fancy traced to its old home,
Each of your woodland treasures.
