The stream is cAlnest when i,nesrs the tide
And flowers are sweetest at the eVcnnde,
And birds most musical al c!ose OF day,
And saints divinest when they pass away.
Yoraing IS holy, bat boiler charm
Lies folded close in Evening robe OF balm,
And weary man must ever love her best,
For morning calls to toll, bat night to rest.
she comes from heaven, and on her wings doia
bear
A holy fragrance, like the breath Of prayer:
Footsteps OF angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes of day in peace
All things are hushed befefore her as sne throws
O'er earth and sky her mantle OF repose
There is q camer beauty and power
That morning knows not, in the evening hozr.
Until Evening we must weep and toll
Plow liie's stern fnrrow, dig the weedy soil
Tread with sad feet eur rough and thorny way,
Aud bear the heat and burden Of the day.
Oh when our sun i: setting may we glide,
Like Summer Evening down the golden tide
And leave behind US. as we pass away,
Sweet, starry twilight round our sleeping clay.

The BrutaIfties Of the Hunting Field

ANY one who reads the hunting re-
ports even in so respectable paper as
the Field will find very unpleasant evil
denee of the sort of blOOdthIrsty de-
light with which the more brutal incl
dents of the chase are relished by a
certain class of spOrtsmen. 1t is impOs-
sible to imagine any thing more sick
ening than descriptions of wretched
hares and exhausted foxes being torn
into bits and eaten by the hounds. In
one case we read of a fox being pur-
sued into the cellar of a country house.
and killed in the presence of an Sex
cited crowd" and in anOtherthe worry
ing of couple OF foxes is spoken of as
"the cream of the day."
The sight of an old hare plucked
from its seat by furious dogs, and, as
it is gracefully put, "allied to currant
jelly,n fills the mind of the chronicler
with "a feeling of gratitude for an op-
portunity of sharing the sport of such a
pack" Again-"They ran into and
killed this fox on a window sill in the
middle of the main street (Of village)
to the delight of the whole population,
who, to Judge by the crowd, turned out
to a man, In another case a fine old
dog fox was killed in the shrubbery of
a house and "eaten Onthe lawn" and
the writer thinks "the hounds well de-
served their fox" common phrase in
these reports.
II appears that foxes are also some
times dug out of hole for the mere
purpose of being gObbled up by the
hounds. There is really no necessity
for hunting being associated with such
stupid brutalIties; but it is to be feared
l. h1l
vet to admit of any effectual treatment
of such abuses until public opinion has
ripened little mOre.-LOndOn Satur-

Evils Of Early Rising.

The attention of medical men in this
great Republic, observes Hdwkeye Bur-
dett, is called to the iDjudieiOus and
absolutely hateful habit much in vogue
in the rural districts and among early
risers in the city, of getting up in the
night to eat. This nocturnal meal ia
family disguised under the name of
breakfast, and there is no doubt that it
has much TO do with creating, spread
ing, and sustaining the national disease
dyspepsia. The custom is sometimes
visited by severe Judgements, but
nothing seems able to deter its vOta-
ries from continuing its practice. We
once took Summer boarding with a
man who used to eat in the night and
reused up all his household to share
the unnatural meal. One night he
stirred us all up at 4 80 O'Clock to eat.
We rose and ate. That very day his
best COW inundated herself on a wire
fence, one of his horses bit himself
with Iattlesnake, a reaping machine
ate mp his best farm hand, distant
relative sent his youngest boy a drum,
his wife took to writing poetry, and
one of his most popular. talented. and
handsomest bOarders fitted, leaving
an unpaid Summers board bill to re-
member him by. The latter circum-
stance is indelibly impressed upon
our memory, and We often think of it
in connection with the somewhat strik
ing coincidence that we have never
been in that country since.

experiences of his relations with En-

de Lesseps had published work to
prepare the public mind for his prOpO-
sal. On arriving in England, he caused
a translation to be made, and consulted
a publisher as to the cost and the best
means of insuring a large circulation.
"The publisher promises me an answer
for the next day. Next morning ! re-
turn to him, and he gives me a bill of
costs, in which the largest item is in

must believe that the epidermis of the
English is less sensitive than ours.
We certainly do not pay for the rods
that scourge us. There is no need for
praise of q book says the publisher ;

to see it, and judge for themselves.

supposition of charges for either praise
or blame is so prepOsterous, that it can
not even be regarded as a serious
charge against the Press. and NJ. de
Lesseps, too, must have had ample ex-
perience that attacks a discretion may
be had gratis. He attended numerous
public meetings in England, and had
no reason to complain of his reception.
The "heads of wOOdn were confined to
the politicians. MY addresses having

ion being favorable, had only to fol-

In one respect, English opposition was
of use to him. 1t stimulated the eager
ness to subscribe in France. To take
shares in the Suez Canal became a pOpu-
lar way of avenging Waterloo. "An
old bald-headed priest, doubtless an
old soldier" is one instance. Another

him, 1T is not a railway, it is a canal /;
it is not ian island, it is an. isthmus;
it is not in Sweden, it is at Suez.

Gray's limits History and Antfquf.
ties.

We have been favored with a copy
of this volume, compiled by w. K.
DOuthwaite, Librarian. The time of
tn foundation of Gray's inn as a So
ciety of Lawyers has not been ascer-
tanned, but it was not later than the
reign of Edward iii. In the days of
Henry Viii. the PriOry of Shene, then
the owners of the property, granted it
at a fee farm rent to, or In trust for,
the society at yearly rent. MIR.
DOuthwaite thinks that, as the result
was afterward paid to the Crown, the
society must have had a grant from
the Crown. But such a grant was not
necessary; when the Crown succeeded
(On the dissolution of mOnastaries) to
the possessions of the PriOry, it only
succeeded to the rent reserved to the
Priory and to the seignory of the land,
but not to the land itself, which re-
mained in the society by virtue of the
grant from the PriOry. A Cartulary
or Register of Shene PriOry, and per-
haps the Index Cartarum and Register
of that House mentioned at vol. ii. p.
106 of Nichols COiiectdRed, would show
the grant. The author notices the
mention by NarcIssus Luttrell In his
Diary of the riot between the Gray's
Inn gentlemen and the wOrkmen OF DIR.
Barcelona, who was beginning to build
on Red Lion Fields, which he had pur
chased. We have seen letter (still in
MS.) In which the writer says that the
Gray's Inn men went out in their
gowns, and that the workmen were
very civil, and said they would rather
lose their work than disOblige the gen.
tlemen. But there was afterward
disturbance, and tine Chief Justice sent
word to the benehers that if they could
not rule their house he would come
and do it for them. The gardens, as
once a place of fashionable resort, are
of course mentioned, and Francis Ba-
cons care for them, and Charles Lambs
encomium. DIR. Abbott and Mr.. Sped
ding have both doubtless been to
view the garden of Gray's Inn
Immortal Bacon studied in.
Survey the trees he planted there,
And sigh and drop silent tear.
That such man should be inclin'd
To be so weak with such mind.

Very singular, must say, but one
can't doubt the word of Humboldt, and
the Little SchOOlma'am read abOu. it in
his works. The garment grows on the
trunk of the tree it is, in fact, very
wide ring of bark, cut around as you
boys cut willow twig to make whis-
tie of it, and taken off the beheaded
trunk in one piece. Two holes are cut
for the arms. The South American
native slips it over his head and con-
siders himself in full dress. Now, if
you boys wonld dress in that style,

would be !-St. Nicholas.
