In SCRIBNER for March DR.. Charles
S. Robinson has an article on "New
England and her Churcl, j." which has
for its text DR.. Leonard Bacon's new
book on ",The Genesis Of the New
England Churches" We quote the
following on ''Down East" Charac-
ter:
The truth, is, the strength and at
tractiveness of all read character
''down East center in the preservation
of personal individuality. Men and
women rab against each other, but
manage to keep unchanged, Last
summer we saw on the beach of Cape
Ann that singular tract Of sea,shore
called the Musical Strand. The grains
Of sand send up faint musicq! sound
as the foot slides over them. We
were told that in the night, when the
air is still, the waves, pushing up
against the dry particles, and then re-
ceeding, will urge out at least three
distinct notes in turn. The only ex-
planation Of this phenomenon seems
to be that the sand is composed ofpar
ticles of granite, worn off the surface
of the ridge with which the shore is
barricaded, and that their edges are
not at all roanded by attrition. They
have been rolled up and down for
these unreckoned yea!s, just as any
other mass is rolled, under the action
of tide and tempest; but they have
kept their shape without being worn
away. Examine them carefully, and
one sees as well as feels that they re-
main sharp at,every point, often keen
as a pin and thin as wafer hurry
them, when hot and dry, against each
other, and they will yibratc like so
many pieces Of steel.

ness they exhibit t. the nature they
bear. They keep the essentials of the

cy, we may say it is their individual
ism which gives them the true ring,
their strong originality which makes
them musical.

stampede us quicker than a big dog.
One day Bob" was sent to nelghoof
shaw's to inquire about some straw tor

went with him. Mr.. Shaw was the
father of six hateful girls, who had
rather laugh at a fellow than not, and
when we arrived they were all seated
at dinner. | edged behind the corner
while Bob edged carefully in at the
door, and with scared look stammer-
ed:
"Mr. Straw, can you let me have
enough Shaw to till my bed?
"Well, R." said the old gentleman,
glancing around the circle of astonlsed
faces, Il suppose so. Here are SIX be-
sides the old woman; but Id rather
YOU would leave her if the girls will be
srfio;ant Take them all and God

Perfect shrieks of laughter went up

Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning,
Before the blaze of day

A closer bond of union

Shall strife and tllmult cease ?

Till the dark night be gone. l..

soy QFattieHG's CoHr:sllip,

It was toward the end of August
when received q long, loving letter
from Cousin Joy, inviting me to
spend the bllance Of my vacation
with her at her fathers country-house
in Pennsylvania. My vacation had
already lasted three weeks, and as the
school did not open until the end of
September, I had still about five
weeks, in which might recruit my
self after my long and weary period
of teaching, broken only by these
three weeks Of hot, dusty New York.
