WITTENBURG, August Is.
The ideal American traveller is
like the tabled bird Huma, since
he is supposed to be always on the
wing, ever seeing and "doing,"
never resting Not being huma-
rously inclined, we decided, on
leaving Berlin, to break even the
short Journey to Leipsic by stop
ping at Wittenberg to see the va
rious Lutheriana visible in this
quiestent old city. The monu-
ments erected to the memory of
Luther and Melancthon are the
prominent objects in the market
place. The bronze statues of the
refermer5 stand on high granite
pedestals, above each canopy ALSO
in bronze. They both hold a Bible
in one hand, extending the other.
Melancthon by his gentle mien
seeming to bless the people, while
Luther's sterner aspect suggests
maledictions hurled upon the
priesthood if they will not receive
the pure Word of God. Not far
from these monuments is the Stad-
tkirche, where Luther frequently
preached. We found here the
inhospitality of Protestant church.
es, so different from the Catholic,
the doors of which are ever open
to the dev0tee or the tourist This
Lutheran temple seemed hermet-
ically sealed. AS the persistent
ringing of small bell in one cor.
ner, the wire OF which ran up to
the top Of the tower, brought no
one, we finally climbed to the airy
height, where we found the bell
ringer living, according % German
custom, with his family. 1t was
quite shock to my enthusiasm,
which had been formulating dur
ing the long ascent, as / thought
of life passed so far above the
clamor and wickedIess of the
world, i'm atmosphere which we
might feel was sanctified and ethe
realized after six hundred years of
devotion beneath, to find the old
tower hung around with wet linen.
Instead Of the pure spirituality |
had imagined pregnant in that up
per region, there was all the disa
yreeahleness OF our Monday, inten
sified. for the dreaded washing day
comes to the German housckceper
hut two or three times year.
The good man was not the sexton
after all, but descending with as
went in search OF some mythical
official, leaving Us to study the
exterior of the old edifice. They
had cheerful fashion, several
centuries since, ofornamenting the
outside of their churches with mon
uments sacred 10 the memory of
the dead. Tired indeed must be
the knights and ladies' standing
with their heels together and toes

TFrom the n Y. Evening Post
Life in life hes deeply hidden,
Germ in germ mysterious grows;
Unrest is our Birth condition,
Earth born hope has no rcpose.
Where the peach un!olds the almo,
Where the apple blooms rose,
Wond,a working doth creation
10 tae hidden garb disclose.
Iimay quaff Of sap pulsatious
Ere they swell the luscious grape;
And it threads the sporting acorn,
Lifting into giant shape.
Unrest speaks the longing lily,
Whispering to postman bee;
Take this love- note soft and silken,
To the blushing rose for me "
Feathered guests, tree born aud nestled,
When they learn TO love and WOO,
Strike sheir leafy tents, and, res
Aerial desert-paths pursue
And the barbed fish unorring,
Dart, like arrows, through the food
Reach remembered bygienne fouI tain
Safe to rear their tiny brood.
Distant poles to parched equator
Greetings send in breezy flight;
Twinkling star land beams its kisses
TO the murmuring waves by night
And beside our household affairs,
From the lips of tsnderest years,
Prayers of unrest, prayers of longing
Nightly wait to hoier spheres.

I'm an old house, tits very true;
Yet still quite passable TO view.
My base stands square on solid ground;
Building material good and sound.
Some silver hoar-frost on The roof
of winters slow approach give proof
The attic has COED light and air;
A merry fellow lodges there.
In through its windows, clear and bright,
Beam sun by day and moon by night.
Music steals in through each side door,
Sweet and familiar as Of yore;
There, nom and evening, song of bird
And children's ringing glee are heard.
Within. my secret chambers hold
Thoughts precious treasures manifold,
And in procession, from the door,
Rbymed words like these do often pour.
