we have only one moro poem to quote-one

A woMAN's QUESTION.

Before trust my fate 10 thee,
Or place 10Y hand In thine;
Before let thy future give
Color and form TO mine,
Before peril all for thee,

A shadow of regret
La there one link within the paGt
That holds thy spirit yet
Or is thy faith as clear and free
As that which can pledge TO tbeei
Does there within thy dimmeSt dreams
possible future shine.
wherein thy life could henceforth breathe
Untouched, unshared BY mine
II 30, at any PAIN or cost,
Oh tell me, before all Is lost
Look deeper still. II thou canst feel
Within thy innost soul
That thou hast kept q portion back,
While have staked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow,
But in true mercy tell me So
Is there within thy heart need
That mine cannot tulhli
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still
Speak novelist At some future day
Ny whole life Wither and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid

On all things new and Btrange'

But shield my heat against thy own.

OUR TITLES.

Our pedigree 30 high
That God for US and TOR our race
And light and air and time and space,
To serve us and then die
Are we not Princes we who stand
AS heirs beside the throne.
We who can call the promised land
And answer to less commend
Than Gods. and HIS alone
Are we not KiDgsi both night and day,
From early until late,
About our bed about way,
And So We " WATCH and work and pray
In more than royal state.
Arc we not moref our life shall be
Immortal and divine.
The nature Mary gave to thee.
Dear Jesus. still 10 thine:
Adoring in thy heart see
Such Blood as beats in mine.
oGodi that We can dare to fail
oGod /! that we can ever trail
Such banners in the dust,
And such blazon rust
Shall We upon such titles bring
The faint of sin and shame
Shall we, the children Of the King
Tarnish by any meaner thing
The glory of our nAmel
But, although just today, in the present un-
developed state of woman's intellect, Miss
Proctor may strike us most by her advance in
thought beyond her sex, she has far higher
claim on us for the admiration due to true
womanhood. Where do these poets school
their souls, that they GENE forth full of the
experience of threescore years and tent We
know that Miss Proctor died in the prime and
summer of her days, with most of the great
epechs and experiences of woman's life yet
before her. 1t is 10: even said that she
loved for the sake of him who should lose
her. we hope it may be SO. Yet her poems hold
more tenderness ard truth, more of real love,
its anxietics, faith, fuitiment, more of woman's
inner life, than any ten of the sweet soft ma
lures who have taken these things to be their
sole province; who fancy their inkstands are
in their souls, and devote lifetime of harm
less harpings to rEyming some flutterings of
heart and more gatherings of nerves. Here, as
everywhere, we meet with Miss Procter's I'M
failing force and cearness, and tremble at fret
to meet it. For of all agonizing things Gas
many a sensitive nature can testify there is
none like the unconscious cruelty of pure intel
lect when it comes to deal with the strange
intuitions the noble unreason, the holy follles
of the heart. But hand in hand with her in
born analysis comes such womanhood, 80
deep, so delicate, so full of sympathy and sweet
counsel, as passes words. This union it is, as
We said before, that stamps Miss Proctor
poet. We men cannot half appreciate this;
the sisteThood of sex that her poems must es-
tablish with women who have loved and suf-
fered is for some woman only to set forth.
It is difficult to chose any one poem which
stands pre-eminent in these qualities. One
which will show her ins ght into the seeming
ly contradictory impulses OF woman's breast

childhood. In her, it was not like regalia for
the professions Of life or o reserve fund for
vitaliZed; q living faith; an actual, practical
element in her daily doings, as present in her
consciousness as her own individuality. Nor
had she any of the combativeness OF converts,
whose zeal is apt sometimes to be aggressively
meek and intolerantly lowly. Hers was faith
full of the charity that judges not. Like all
real feeling. it never obtrudes itself, and never
shrinks from appearing in its proper place.
Thus che has very few devotional and no
sectarian pieces at all in her Legends and
Lyrics, but once professedly entering on that
line Of thought, in her ChaPlet of Verses, che
is both Christian and Catholic throughout.
Yet among the few devotional pieces in the
earlier series we find one of the best:
THE PEACE OF GOD.
We fs sst eh fSE PssG s:f T hSF4 ps.o.
Not what the world calls rost,
Thai Thai tb toll and St care sh0S
And tranquil night should iade
1t Isl mot for such peace that we would pray.
Yet NOT to stand secure.
Grit round with iron pride.
Contented to endure;
cETH ss S shs gentle s sbanSs know
Untouched by others joy
Thou dear LORD! wilt never teach US so.
We ask Thy peace o Lord!
To light and guide us
Through a long, struggling life:
While no success or gain
Shall cheer the desperate fight,
Or nerve what the world calls
Our wasted might;
Yet pressing through the darkness to the light.
1t lie thine own o Lord!
Who toll while others sleep;
Who with loving care
What other hands shall reap
They lean on the entranced
In calm and perfect rest;
Give US that peace, Lord
Divine and blest,
Thou keepest for thoae hearts who love thee bes
Very like this in sentiment are several of her
best pieces, I" Per Pacem ad Lucem," minis
tering Angels" and "Thaukfulness." There
are q number also addressed to the Virgin
Mary, the best of which are TOO long for in
sertion. 1t is this which will restrict our
quotations to one more piece, which breathea
that lofty ardor that every struggling Christian
has felt in his brighter hours of exaltation, and
sighed to know that common moods cannot
rise to it.

A RETROSPECT.

a RETROSPECT.
From this fair point of present bliss.
Where " Q together stand,
Let me look back once more, and trace
That lone and desert land
Wherein TILL now was cast my lot
And could live, aud thou vert not.
What had then : A hope that grew
Each hour more bright and dear,
Tho flush upon the eastern skies
That showed the sun was near.
Now night has faded far Away,
The sun has iisen, and 1t Is day
A dim ideal Of tender grace
In my soul reigned supreme;
Too noble and too aweet, thought,
To live save in o dream
Within thy heart TO day ir LEA,
And looks on me from thy dear eyes.
Some gentle spirit-love. thought

Though each false idol foil TO dust,

But faint radiant shadow cast
Back from our love upon the past.
And grief. too held hsr vigil there;

Breaking my cloudy visions down.
Throwing my flowers away:

Listening long eager days:

Thus can read thy name throughout.
And now her task is done,
Can zee that even that faded past
Was thine, beloved one.

We have yet to speak of one great element
in these poems, their religion. With those who
are born and bred in q church, their belief sits
on them like their clOthes-becOmes part of
themselves. With converts it is oftener like
badge which they are proud to wear, and which
some are fond of displaying. Miss Proctor
was one of those rare natures in which religion
seems to stain back, as IL were, and color the

A LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ,
was weary and i'll at ease.
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys
1 do not know what was playing,
Or what was dreaming then,
But struck one chord Of music
Like the sound of q great Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close OF an angels psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With Touch Of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming Strifei
It seemed the harmonious echo
From our discoTdant life.
1t linked all perpleKed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trem bled away into silence
As II it were 10th to cease.
have cueht, but seek it vainly,
That one Lost chord divine,
That came from the soul Of the organ
And entered into mine.
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
Win speak in that chord again.
It may be that only in heaven
I shall hear that grand Amen.

The Clerical Protest.

. The press has spoken with a unanini-
ty unusual in these days of partisan
strife; the Governors OF two Northern
States Massachusetts and Ohio-haye
spoken; Arkansas, Tennessee and the
outraged people Of Louisiana have spo.
ken, and New York will soon speak to
the President in language which may
compel him again to answer, "Be brief;
l am sick" He has reason to be, for no
other President-not even Mr.. johnson
ever offended the American people as
ne has done. But in the midst of all
thsse voices OF surprise and indignation
General Grant may hear the calmer Mt
terarlce OF the Church, the ministers of
which know neither party, but speak
simply for tho good OF all. In answer
to the accusations made by Gen. Sheri-
dan in his dispatches to the Secretary
OF War the leading clergymen Of New
Orleans have. issued an. address to ths
American people. They affirm that it Is
their duty TO proclaim to the whole
American people that these charges are
unmerited, unfounded and erroneous.
and can have no other effect than that
OF serving the interests OF corrupt poll
ticians, who are at this time making the
most extreme efforts to perpetuate their
power over the State of Louisiana
The signatures to this address include
those Of Archbishop Perche, Bishop viii
mer, Rnv. DIR. Gutheim, Bishop Keener,
OF the NJ. Z. Church, South, and the Rev.
Dr. Dali, rector Of st. Joseph's church,
besides many others. These reverend
gentlemen can have no motive to utter
what is not the truth about society in
Louisiana, and they have privileged
means of knowing its character. The
President may disregard their protest
against the stigma that has been put
upon their State, but the American peo-
pie whom they address will listen, and
believe. The Church is neutral as be-
tween political parties, but it cannot be
neutral between the wrong and the right.

THE PROSPECTS FOR THE COMING SEASON
NEW MARKETS TO BE SOUGHT.

THE PROSPECTS FOR THE COMING SEASON
NEW MARKETS TO BE SOUGHT.
A recent report Of committee Of the
Central Delaware Fruit Growers Asso-
ciation contains the following: tt...
1.-The prospect now for a large crop OF
peaches this yeai is very fiattering; tho
trees have made fine growth, and the
increase in bearing orchards along the j.
a. b. Il. Il. we estimate at one hundred
per cent. over 1873, when there was u
light crop of $40 900 baskets. -
We estimate full crop alo1 khe rail
road named above at 1000, oaskets.
We have not had full crop Of peach
es on the Peninsula since 1859. Those
who have watched the New York peach
market will agree with us that that mar.
ket has been well stocked with peaches
from about one-half of. the Peninsula.
Last year was rs near total failure as
any within our recollection. The failure
may give the Peninsula full crop this
year, and the growers will be compelled
to widen their range for distributing
their peaches if they expect to get q
remuneratiye price.
The New England States are the best
peach market in our reach, and we sug
gest to the Fruit Growers that we have
steamer--say three times week-from
Lewes to Providence, II, l., or to some
other point in the New England States,
and make that a general distributing
point for our fruit. . vE!
Our peaches will nearly all be shipped
in crates, and can be distributed in COM
mon freight cars. .
This would attract fruit dealers, and
draw many who would come TO New
| York to buy fruit, and on account Of the
cheapness Of the freight by water, would
give us no little advantage over other
sections of the Peninsula. This new
opening will he proposed to the Old Do
uiinion Steamship Company in due time.

THE TAX ON TEA AND COFFEE.

An increase Of over three millions in
our debt during the month Of December
is not pleasant New Years gift, and
the worst of it is that there are MONTH
ly deficits, during the year 1875 staring
US in the face.
The only chance of relief, therefore.
is in the restoration Of the duty on coffee
and tea, which of course would by no
means relieve our necessities at once.
We have often characterized this tea
and coffee tax as the least evil Of our
taves. We have to tar something-nay,
we must unfortunately tax many things
in order to meet our just engagements
and carry on our Government, and this
tea and coffee tax is one that is purely
and simply revenue tax. We know
that the seventeen or eighteen millions
raised from it go into the Treasury. We
also know that not dollar more Of this
tai goes into the pockets Of favorite
class
Now, turn to an article Of the utmost
necessity; say blankets We tax these
all the way from 81 to l40 per cent. We
use annually 2,250,000 pairs, and we i'm
ported in 1873 S10,362 worth, got ,reye.
nue. of S6,344, and paid our home mana
facturers no less than S5,000,0o0 enhsnc-
ed values for the use of our blankets
Thus, then, we are called upon to up
hold tar on blankets for the benefit Of
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, while
tea or coffee tax. every dollar of which
goes into the Treasury, is deprecated
This the monopolists know and under
stand as well as we do ; and that was the
reason why the duty was repealed by the
protectionist knaves. assisted by few
demagogue free-traders. But the kna-
very Of the monopolists has now to give
way to the dire necessities Of the Trens-
ury, and we sincerely hope that this
sound measure will be passed during the
short session remaining.-N. Y. World.
