Forever in mid afternoon,
All, happy day of happy June
Pour out thy sunshine on the hill,
The piuy wood with perfume fill.

Land scented breezes, that shall be
Sweet as the gardens that they pass,
Where children tumble in the grass
All, happy day, refuse to 90
Hang in the heavens forever So
And long not for thy blushing rest
In the soft bosom of the West,
But bid gray evening get her back
With all the stars upon her track
Forget the dark, forget the dew,
The mystery of the midnight blue,
And only spread thy wide, warm wings,
While summer her enchantmeut fiugs

Forever let thy tender mist

Deep i'm the distant dale-, and shei,

Yet wilt thou wauler-cau the thrush,
And have the winds and waters hush
To hear his passion broken tune.

THE MoRAyhNs-The only church in New
York belonging to this very peculiar sect has
been sold for secular purposes, the congregation
having run out \ small congregation exists on
Staten Island, and one in Brooklyn equally
small. In Pennsylvania the sect Is larger, and
at Bethlehem it has its theological and denomi-
national institutions From the Moravians
Wesley obtained his class meetings, love feasts,
and other peculiarities. They are Episcopal,
having their own bishops. Their worship is
liturgical, but it differs from the Episcopal
Church The right of confirmation is admins
tered, and the custom Of washing the disciples
feet adopted. In its meetinge the kiss Of charity
is exchanged. \ circle Is formed, and when the
brothers and sisters meet, a man and his wife are
stationed, so that as each member kisses the one
next TO him the kiss is exchanged between the
gentleman and his own wife In difficult mat
ters the lot is resorted to-. IL commenced many
years ago with Mr.. Mortimer the preacher. He
wanted to marry and was in doubt The brethren
selected 4 certain number Of ladies, any one Of
which was considered suitable for a minister :
wife. Their names were written on slips Of
paper and put into a vessel After being well
shaken one was drawn, and the maiden named
became the wife of the minister. The present
Mortimer family of New York, of great distlnc-
ton, are descendants from this marriage. Al
confirmation the children dress in white, glri.
are dressed in scarlet, with peculiar shaped
cap on their heads, and young ladies are clothed
in white and scarlet The members are gathered
into classes, as in the Methodist Church, and
love feasts are held.
