a WINTER EPiSo DE,

A uair of weary, Of wandering feet,
Pattering frozen, bare in the street,
A psir Of blue and beseeching eyes,
Hopelessly fixed on the snow-leaden skies
A gsuut, wan look and blistered face;
he hard world has beaten out all its grac.-.
A forest OF tangled, of matted hair,
Falling Ger cheeks that should have been fair.
At q door she stops, at palace door,
Laden with all of the earth's best store;
At the curtained windows throweth o glance
There are lights within bright lights for the dance
And brighter jewels, and brighter tmiles,
And gay heart-speeches; and lovers wiles;
The wanderer peers, peers in at the hall
Though the door be open-shut out from all.
Shut out from the taste OF the wine of life.
That is drunk by the happy daughter and wife;
Not drop, rot one poor drop for hes lips,
OF the brlmming cup that prosperity sipsl
A stalwart form bends proud, at the side
Of the nuttering, flushing two months bride;
moment silent the young pair stand,
Then purse is quietly slipped in her hani.

What of that7 We have bread, and enough to share;
And believe me. Nellie, the silver told,
In the palm of want has the ring of go1il''
Return ye, bridegroom andsbride-wife fair,
To the crowded room, to the waxlight glare,
To the waving plumes, to the musical strain,
Whose soft, sweet bird-notes echo again.
Not all the jewels, not all the gems
That ever shone in earth's dadems,
Could bestow the blessing, the peace of mind
That your few small coins have lett behind.
For who shall'say to what depths of woe
Might have sunk that starving woman below,
Had 70 broke not then on her perishing sight,
Like the great Gods own bright angels of light

TIE VILLAGE OF BROxK-After one hss
seen Amsterdam fully, the fist of the sub.
uras he visits Is the village OF Brock From
my childhood had heard it mentioned a.
the cleanest town in the world, and so many
remarkable stories had been told me Of its
peculiarities and curious customs that
took advantage of my earliest leasure to 20
thither. Brock has population OF hardly
fifteen hundred, Is only six miles from the
metropolis, and Is reached by the ferry -boai
to Buiks!oot, one mile distant, whenre
walked to this most unique Of civilized set
Elements. Many OF the inhabitants are land
ed proprietnrs, retired merchants, and
wealthy tradesmen, with numerous thrifty
manufacturers OF those small, round Edam
cheeses, which are shipped from North Hol-
land to every part OF Europe and America.
Neither horse nor vehicle is allowed to en-
ter the town-a regulation of the place with
which had long been familiar; but If they
were allowed, it would be of no benefit, az
sage of any ordinary vehicle, The streets
deserve the name of lanes, and are paved
either with bricks or with small stones set
In patterns after the fashion of our tiled
floors. The stories so rife about mosaic
pavements in Brock, like many other tales
of similar character, have no foundation
In fact. Everything, however, shows neat
ness In the greatest excess. All the walks
and by-ways are strewed with sand, or
shells arrar ged in exact and regular form
while the houses, mostly of wood, are paint
ed in bright ccl0rs. chiefly white and green.
The roofs are covered with polished tiles of
different hues, which, with the apparently
ever-fresh paint Of the other parts of the
buildings, reflects so much light, when the
sun shines, as to dazzle and pain the eye.
The dwellings Of the poor are, - usual,
Of one story and extremely plain; but the
ab0des of the rich are Of style not to be
described by any ordinsry terms Of archi-
lecture. The Dutch idea OF form and pro-
portion must either be entirely deranged,
or go fantastic as to be incapable of any
other expression than the grotesque. The
Brock houses are, on the whole, the absurd
est I have seen. They look as IL Grecian
temples, Chinese pagodas, Saracenic pala-
ces, Italian villas, Eastern mosques, and
Persian bazars had common ague flt, and,
after shaking themselves to pieces, had gath
cred up the fragments lying nearest, and,
reconstructed In the most misoellsneO and
chaotic fashion, had had the assurance to
call themselves houses. Such are the hah-
itations of Rroeck Illustrating latent CON.
