TIE BUGLE SONG.
By ALFRED TESSYsoE.

BA ALFhED IESN loON
The spleud0r walks on castle walls
And snowy SUBMITS old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, send the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer echoes, dying, dying,
dying.
o hark, o hear how thin and clear,
And thinner, clearer, farther going
0 sweet and FAR from cliff and scar
The horns Of Elaand family blowing
Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying,
Blow: bugle answer, echoes, dying, dying,
dying.
Oh, love, they die in yon rich sky,
They faint on hill or field or river
Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And grow forever and forever.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying,
dying.

smile Of scorn, the cutting smile OF re-

the frozen smile of naughty pride, or 'he

that bursts like radiant sunbeam over the

The sympathy or communion Of another.
How purely beautiful or expressive the

Beauty OF Irish Women.

Mons. Felip Belly, one OF the writer's
OF the ConSiiiuiiOnelle. having made

nounces the following eulogum upon the
women Of the country:

this land so life full, The population itself.
No European race, ihat Of lhe Caucasian

fore The beauty Of The chIlIten; and 10 The
compact crowd which each day occupies
The footpslhs Of Merton Square, there is
certainly the most magnificent collection
Of human beings il Is possible 10 meet.

with blue, are by no means rare. The
race is as strong as il is handsome. 90

much living in The eyes of oIher people.

of wolves, and with them human being.

circumstance 10 he magistrate Tor whom
he was travelling. The latter forthwith
mustered number of coolies and went
10 lhe place. The pack of wolves fed
short distance and sought refuge IN sort
OF cave or den. Beginning TO dig lhe
Ipar,y soon discovered he feet OF the wild
man, and, drawing him forth, succeeded
in binding aud carrying HIM 10 town. Dr.
