A correspondent of Notes and Queries
draws attention to the fact that the hattie
field of the present campaign attained
early celebrity as the headquarters of
Metz was one of the first
towns which practised the art of printing,
and the ancient works which came from
its press are very numerous. Strasbourg
is asserted to have been for some years
the home of John Gutteburg, although no
dated book is extent of an earlier year
than l471. Toul is to be noted as the place
at which one of the first attempts at stereo-
typing was made. The Sedan editions
compete with the Elzevirs in the estima-
ton of book collectors, and are beautiful
examples of minute typography. Kehl
was the ultimate resting place of Basker-
ville's type, with which M. Beaumarchais
printed an edition of Voltaire's works on
blue paper for King Frederick of Prussia,
''who labored under weakness of the
eyes" At Rheims and Verdun printing
was carried on at an early date, and the
latter place has special interest as having
been the place where the English prison
ers who were detained by Napoleon I.
printed, with his permission, an edition of
the English Book of Common Prayer.

On glistening light or misty gray;
And there, at dawn and set of day,
AT prayer she kneelsl
Dear Lord" she saith, " to many home
From wind and wave the wanderers come
| only see the tossing foam
Of stranger keels.
Blown out and in by summer gales,
The stately ships, with crowded sails,
And sailors leaning DER the rails,
Before me glide:
They come, they go, but never more,
Spice-laden from the Indian shore,

The wave divide.

And one the near and far away,
Look out on your gray waste and say,
Where fingers he.

Or thirsty isle beyond the reach

OF wind and sea.

The secret which thy waves conceal
And ye wild sea birds, hither wheel
And tell your tale.
Let winds that tossed his raven hair
A message from my lost one bear
Some thought of me, last fond prayer
Or dying wall
"Come, with your dreariest truth shut out
The fears that haunt me round about;

That STILES breath.
The worst is better than the dread,
Give me but leave to mourn my dead,
Asleep in hope and trust instead

That whispered in the garden trees;
