a Shrine In Ruins.

A pilgrim to Stratford- d-on-Avon says that
the home of Shakespeare was near what is
known as the Chapel Church. The grounds
remain, but all vestiges of the dwelling have
been removed. The site of the famous null
berry tree is pointed out, and also the well
at which Shakespeare drank, and that is all.
The mulberry tree was planted in the
early marriage life of the poet, with his
own hand. 1t grew to be a famous tree.
Under it was the poets favorite seat.
Under it Ben johnson, Garrick, Dray
ton, Macklin and other merry wits Of
the age often met, and took counsel. In
the house the poet, within one month af-
ter he made his strange will-in which he
bcqueathed to his wife his "second- best
bed"-died- it is said, of a fever
contracted by carouse with Ben johnson
and Drayton. "He drank too hard" said
his biographer, "and contracted fever"
His dwelling house went into the hands of
the rector of the church, whose name was
Gastrll People called to see the mulber-
ry tree. The Reverend Rector was incom-
moded. lie cut the tree down and sold it
for frewood. The enragcd people made
the place too hot for him. They broke
his windows, and finally drove him from
town. He took ample revenge, not only
on the people of Stratford, but on the world
at large He had the house removed by
pieccmeal-lcft not vestige behind, and
sold it for fuel.

From the Brooklyn Nonthly.
OUT ON THE MOON-LIT LAKE.

Who does not love, on q calm summer night,
GROW DER the lake meath the moons pale light
With boat full of laughing, fun-loving girls,
With rose-tinted checks and long flaxen curls,
And yelvety lips of a carmine hue,
And eyes that are bright as the sun-lit dew?
As gayly onward our little boat glides,
Scattering the sparkling spray from her sides,
With laugh and shout we the echoes awake
Mong the hills that surround the beautiful lake /;
And our hearts overflow with pleasure and mirth,
And our thoughts are weaned from the cares Of
earth.
Who docs not love, while we rest on our oars,
To watch the bright wavelets that play on the
shores,
And list to the softly murmuring breeze,
That gently rustes the leaves of the trees,
And lightly plays with the ribbons and hair
Uf the girls beside us with faces SO fair?
Almost unheeded the moments pass by,
And the moon rides high in the starry sky;
Sill o'cr the waters our boat swiftly gdes,
Tossing the pearl-drops away from her sides;
And our song still keeps the echoes awake,
While gayly we row o. er the moog-lit lake.

CHAMpAoNE.-Making champagne is
now regular business in California. 1t
is done, according to correspondent who
has seen the process, as follows: The crude
wine is run into tank which holds 3,00G
bottles, and then sweetened with 50 pounds
of sugar. The succeeding processes are
nice and complicated, and some of them l
believe are kept secret from the public.
The solution Of the great problem of child
hood-how champagne corks get in when
they are so much larger at the bottom than
at the top-appears in an ingenious ma
chine, which congresses them one-half and
then drives them in in a twinkling. The
ncwly-flled bottles are laid in frames, with
the necks sloping downward. Here they
remain for some weeks, but are shaken by
hand every day. The pressure on bot
tie is 80 pounds to the square inch, or
equal to that of six atmosphcres. About
one in ten bursts. The men who shake
them wear masks of wire to protect their
faces. The superintendent has long scar
on his right hand, where he was once cut
by the glass of an exploding bottle. After
the wine has worked itself clear, the cork
is removed for an instant to let the sedi-
ment fly out; then it is replaced, the bot
tie is labeled, wrapped, and cased by Chi
namen, and it is ready for the market.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENr-Dr Chal-

have seen in the world and know of the
history of mankind teaches me to look
upon their errors in sorrow, not in anger.
When l take the history of one poor heart
that has sinned and suffered, and repre-
sent to myself the struggles and tempta-
tions it passed through-the brief pulsa-
tions of joy; the tears of regret; the fee

that has little charity the desolation Of

ces within health gone happiness gone

A GIRLS A GIRL FOR A. THAT.

Is there a lady in the land
That boasts her rank and a. that?
With scornful eye we pass her by,
And little care for a that;
For natures charm shall bear the palm
A girls girl for u that.
What though her neck with gems she deck,
With folly's gear and a. that
And gayly ride in pomp aud pride;
We can dispense with a that.
An honest heart acts no such part
a girls girl for a that.
The nobly born may proudly scorn
A lowly lass and u that;
A pretty face has far more grace
Than naughty looks and a that;
A bonnie maid needs no such aid
A girls girl for a. that
Then let US trust that come what must,
And sure it will for a that,
When faith and love- all arts above,
Shall reign supreme and a that,
And every youth confess the TRUTH
A girls girl for a that.

kindness, tool It's always the way with
such people; as I tell Mr.. Gibson"
One Sabbath evening, two years later,
Guy Britton walked up the aisle of fash
ionable city church, and taking the seat
which the usher gave him, leaned back
against the cushion with half-closed eyes,
listening to the soft, sweet prelude of the
organist. Suddenly single voice rose
up strong and clear. Her voice it must
be hers! The wide world could not hold
such another Still scared the strain,
above the fretted arches and the vaulted
roof, aspiring, adorning-like the lark
alone with the morning, or the eagle bath
ing his fearless head in the very sunlight
of heaven!
Lura Deane, coming down the stairway
of the orchestra, at close of service, saw
Guy Britton waiting at its foot. There
was no demonstrative greeting to the by
ISLANDERS they might have parted but the
day before.
/" Do you walk home? ?" he whispered
"Yes."
Thank you Mr.. and Mrs. Dinsmore,"
said Miss Deanc aloud, "you need not
mind to go my way tonight have found
a friend here"
She took his proffered arm, and they
passed out into the lighted street.
=" Ny weeks have been years." said Guy,
81 have come for my answer"
She flashed one eager, questioning
glance upon him, and as the lamplight
shone full upon her face, he saw it trans
figured by look that nothing but death
would ever take away-a look of perfect
love and trust and rest, the homecoming
of an exiled soul.
In brief month after, Laura Deane be-
came the mistress of the Elms, and her
charming voice walked the echoes in the
grand old mansion and found a response
in the loving, trusting heart of Guy

WOMEN DOCTORS AND THE
EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY.
The London TeIeqraa5I saws /:

The London Telegraph says
"a bold act was done by the Game
raj Council Of E dinburgh University
on Friday. The University Court,
having passed a resolution in favor of
organizing medical classes for ladies',
the Rev. Rr. PhiD, of Galashiels,
proposed at the meeting of the Gene
raj Council, or supreme governing
body, that the audacious proposition
should be set aside. Dr. Phin, we
presume, is one Of those 'Modeeates" "
who are the tories of the Presbyte-
rian Church, and his arguments would
have done credit to Mr. NeWegate.
Women he believed to be mentally
and physically disqualified for the treat
ment of disease it was out of their
province they should keep within
their own sphere, sc. Professor Ma
son has too much culture not to regard
such provincial imbeeilities with con
tempt; and he is too much of a man
not to resent the insult which is thus
cast upon women. If, be said, the
medical profession was uusuited for
women, they themselves would soon
find out that fact, and would keep
away from the dissectiDg rooms. Pro
lessor Mason edroitly added that, if
women who devote their lives to the
treatment of disease went out of their
sphere, heavy censure must fall on the
head of Miss Nightingale and the
Sisters of Mercy who have undertak-
ing the most forbidden part of the
task.
P ractical men, even if unnoved
by such considerations, cannot be
blind to the fact that, by hook or by
crook, women are determined to ac-
quire medical knowledge; chat almost
by stealth, and through enormous per-
severance, several English ladies have
already fitted themselves for the treat
ment of disease and that we have
TO choose between system which
must render the education of such
students comparatively imperfect, and
q asgstem which shall make it complete.
If we are to have female doctors. lei
us have good ones.
Seeing the force of those facts, the
General Council of Edinburgh Uni
yerslty rejected DR.. Phin's resolutions
BY large majority and henceforth
women will be as free as men to enter
the Gisseeting-rooms of me5;col
school which has no superior. and in
some respects no equal in Europe
