November Morning.
~ CELIA THAXTER.

W CELIA THAXTER.
Roaring, thc wild south wrestler
Fills the wide heaven with its clanlOr,
flonghin" the ocean aud sm,ting
The land like ponderOus hammer.
Lo. how the vast gray spaces
Wr~tlr aud roll and thun:cr,
EiIlnw piled upon bilow,
Closing and tearing asslndcr.
As il the deep ragged will, the anger
or hosts nf the fabulous k,akcn!
And the firm lnnSr shuddcr~ and trcmblos,
Beaten, bullctcd, sliakonl
Battles the gull with tho tempest,
Struggling and wavcring and faltoring,
Soaring ami striving and sinking,
Turning, its high course altering.
Down through the cloudy heaven
Notes from the wild geese are falling,
Cries like harsh bcll-toncs arc ringing,
Echoiny, Changing, and calling.
Plungcs the schooner landwar.,
Swiftly the long seas crossing,
Close-rcefed, seeking the harbOr,
Half lost III the spray she is tossing.
A rift in the roof OF vapor!
And stormy sunshine is streaming
TO color the grey, wild water
Like chrysoprasc, green and cleaning.
Cold and tcmpcstuous ocean,
Ragged rock, brine.swept and lonely,
Grasp Of tho long, bitter WINTER
These things to gladden. me Onlyl
Love, dost thou wait for mo in some rich land
Where tho geld orange hangs in OdOrous
calm p
Where the clear waters kiss the A,wcry strand,
Bordercd with shining sand and groves Of
palm?
And while this bitter morning breaks for me,
Draws to its close the warm, delicious day !;
Lights, colors, perfumes, music, Joy for thee,
For me the cold, wild seq, the cloudy grey |!
Rises the red moon in thy tranquil sky,
Flashes tho fountain with its silver talk,
and as the evening wind begins to Sigh,
The sweet girls shape steals down the gar.
den walk.
A white robe glimmering through tho scented
Lingering beneath the starry jasmine sprays,
Where thy thick-clustercd roses breathe o.
A sudden ' sush of song thy light lips stays.
That was the nightingale! o love Of mine,
Hearst thou my voice in that pathetic song,
Sinking in passionate cadences divine,
Painting and failing with it's rapture strong
1 s:rctch my arms to thee through, all the cold,
Through all the dark, across the weary SPACE
Between us, and thy slender form fold,
And gaze into the wonder Of thy face.
Pure brow, tho moonbcam touches, tender
eyes,
Splendid with feeling, delicate, smiling
mouth,
And heavy siIkcn hair that darkly lioS
Soft as the twilight clouds in thy sweet
South.
0 beautiful my Love, in vain I seek
10 hold the heavenly dream that fades

I needs must wake, with salt spray on my

4 Minister with a Tin Hat On.

The Rev. George r. Pentecost, for

:. At 8 O'Clock the company formed in
procession, headed by Mr.. and Mrs.

brightly polished tin hat of the stove
pipe persuasion, and the latest shape,
supporting his faltering footsteps by
the aid of a substantial tin cane, aud
cooling his feyered brow by breezes
evoked by aid of huge tin fan, and
marched to the vestry of the church,
which was already opened and bril-
liantly lighted. Here the congregation
and Sunday school gathered en- neasse,
and the evening was devoted to the
most innocent and pleasurable jollity.
After reciprocal greetings and few
moments of chat, refreshments, con
sisting of rolls, cake, and ice cream,
were dispensed with Unsparing impair.
tialitY by the fair hands Of the young
ladies', aud the subsequent half hour OF
so was rcligi0usly devoted to their dis
cussion. Then followed brief and ap
propriate remarks by the pastor any
several other gentlemen, and the re-
mainder of the evening was pleasantly
passed with music, and the pleasan
nmuscments usual OH such occasions.

Ancient Greek face.

Twenty years ago Mr.. Scharf, in the
account of Greek art which he prefixed
to the third edition of WORDSWORTH
Greece" remarked that cat-like az
rangement of the eyes was one of the
common characterised OF all the
archaic Greek art, and the astounding
sorc0phagus from the Casstellani col
lection gives new interest to such in
quiries. At first sight it seems a very
startling hypothesis that the Greeks
could ever have been like that strange
couple with their short great toes, and
hollow chests, and retreating foreheads,
with the whole face converging to the
mouth. It is startling to think that
there ever have been such men at all,
and that if they had ever lived they
must have lived little, if any more,
than twenty-five centuries ago. II we
are to assume that the rate at which it
is possible for the prevailing type of
face to change is absolutely fixed, We
shall put the Castellani sarcophagus
out of court altogether. We shall saw
it is impossible that the artist can have
been representing what he law. Either
he was incompetent or he was not seri-
GUS. But it is certain that the rate is
anything but fixed; the contrast be-
tween the first sitter of Reynolds is
decidedly less than the contrast between
the first sitter Of Lawrence and the last
sitter of MILAN and both are dwarfed
by the contrast between the first sitter
of Lawrence and the last sitter of Rey-
nolds; and this again by the contrast
between the sitters of Vandyke and the
sitters of Kneller. And we 70 back
century from Vandyke to Holbein, we
find still greater difference Of type
between the two extremes while the
we'll marked Elizabethan type which
comes between Is sharply distinguished
from both. And this is what we really
ought to expect; the rate of change
among mems habits and institutions il
liable to the most surprising variations,
and these, like their cast of counte-
nance, are really the expression of their
thoughts, and feelings, and wishes.
We know that between $50 and $50 B.
G. the Greeks went through the most
complete and thorough mental trans
formation on record, and We ought not
to he startled by evidence which points
to corresponding physical notifications
of an unusually rapid kind.-Rrt folio.

MINT.

Fifty-thousand ounces of Belcher
bullion we're received at the Mint
yesterday. The fact becomes more
and more apparent that the Carson
Mint is one of the most important
institutions of the Pacific coast; and
its efficiency is mainly due to the
superior business tact of the present
superintendent H. F. Rice. What
ever Congress may do with regard
to this Mint, we trust that they may
not withhold enough of an appro
priation to keep its refining and sep
arotory department. in running order;
and we have too much faith in the
good sense of the secretary of the
Treasury to suspect that he will take
the chances of putting any new un-
tried man in Mr.. Rice's place-so
long as Mr.. r. will consent to hold
that rather thankless position.
