LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.

I love to st where gay birds fit,
Or soar in song above me,
Where brown bees hum and wood-tlowcra
bloom,
And friends are near that love nc,
Here nature spca7,s, from buds and bcaks
The lesson God has taught her;
HIS bounty swells the hills and dclls,
And spreads DER land and water.
Through seas of grass the mowers pass,
And bend to tasks of duty;
On every bush the berries blush,
Red as the lips Of beauty.
If birds can think, the bobolink,
pcrchcl there above the clover,
Is fun Of praise these golden days,
And swcctly bubbles over.
The cloud that brings the rain has wings,
That gleam through rifled places,
Could we see through the widows blUc,
We might see heavenly places.
Here hope will he green as the tree
That mods upon the mountain,
And peace will flow like streams that glow
In sunlight from the fountain,
Among these bills where dattodiIs,
Grow close to rural roses,
The lily fair, with tinXen lair,
In peaceful sleep reposcs.

We copy the following compliment
tary letter frQn, the Baltimore Catho-
lie Mirror, Which is a just tribute to
the musical talents Of Dr.. Dielman.--
Ed.
EMMlTsBURG, June II, '76.
A few days ago DR.. Henry Dielman.
Professor of Music at Mt. St. Mary's
college and st. Joseph's academy, EN-
mitsburg received merited tribute
Of appreciation from our Holy Father
Plus TX. Accompanying the express
sion of qualification and compliment
which the Sovereign PontitI was gra-
cious enough to send, was tie an
nouncement that Bishop GiImour, OF
Cleveland, is the bearer Of large and
handsome silver medal from his HoIi-
ness to the Docto. The occasion Of
this Papal testimonial was the preseu-
tation to the Holy Father Of several
of Mr.. Die!mans compositions, and
among them one entitled The Tri-
umpLal March" dedicated to the Pope
himself. We have heard this march,
and, although it does not seem very
difficult of performance, yet it breathes
the true soul Of triumphal music, COM
bined with that rich harmony and
grateful melody which are character
istic Of the doctors composition. Its
simplicity, sweetness and majesty
make it an appropriate offering to him
who, in his own august person, COM
bines all these qualities and we trust
that the name may be good omen Of
that triumph which we all hope to see
him gain before he is called to lis re-
ward. Monsignor Chatard, Rector Of
tha American College at Rome, was
the channel Of communication between
the Pope and Dr.. Dielman. The fol-
lowing extract We take from his let
ter: II had the honor Of presenting
tie music to his Holiness, who deignel
very graciousIy to accept it, and as a
proof Of his satisfaction, gave me for
you a handsome silver medal Of large
size, Of which the Right Rev. DR.. Gil
mour, Of Cleveland, was kind enough
TO take charge on his return to Amor
lea. | am very glad to thus contrib
ute somewhat to your pleasures and
that Of your numerous friends, especl-
ally in Wow Of your acknowledged

effectually conceal the tailess body
of a pheasant, and the corpses Of
woodcocks, mipes and quails might
be cunningly veiled in the unsus-
pected covering of some sort of
pigeon. The smUggler, who had
grown careless BY prolonged inn
munity, had on the occasion in
question wrapped up a fine wood
cock in the skin of a blue-rook.
The disguise was as good as usual,
except in one small particular, He
had forgotten to cut off the long
bill of his victim, which was seen
protruding in a most inexplicable
manner from the mouth of the
pigeon. The police agent, refusing
to credit nature with the freakis6
trick of thus arming the emblem Of
innocence, instituted an inquiry,
which resulted in the unyeiling Of
several other prOtean birds. 1t was
found that even ground game had
been treated in a similar manner,
and that hares had been constantly
brought through the gates of Paris
in woolly disguise Of lambkins.

Game Smuggling.

The gourmets of Paris are not
restrained by any sentiments of
humanity or prudence from de-
vouring all game which they lay
their hands upon out Of the season.
There is indignation occasionally
at their hospiable board when the
wretched victims of this unseason-
able appetite appear, and a few of
the less gluttonOus guests venture
to express commiseration for the
ill-fated bird or beast which has
been snatched away from its legiti-
mate honeymoon to figure before
the kitchen fire. But as a rule the
morbid appetite Of the bon-vivant,
supplemented by a roguish taste
for dainties surreptitiOusly pro-
cured, makes the forbidden dish a
grand success, and insures solid
profits to the poachers and dealers
who purvey the delicacy. The
agents of police have just laid rude
hands upon one Of the worthless
engaged in conducting this illicit
traffic in game. The criminal was
caught at one Of the gates of Paris
with a cart containing agood sup
ply of dittsrentsorts Of game. He
had been engaged, apparently with
much success, for a considerable
time past in this species Of snug
Cling. The method was to inclose
the slaughtered spoil in the skins
of more innocent birds. A part
ridge might be conveniently hidden
within the feathers Of a chicken, a

A Washington correspondent
has been having a talk with the
perennial Mrs. Gaines, who still
fingers on the stage at the Capital.
The lady was encountered while
making her round of calls in a
tasteful costume which diminished
the look of age amazingly. Its
colors was violet, with pale lavender
pipings, and it seemed impossible
that seventy years could have
passed before those wonderful eyes.
The great brown iris is Just trimmed
at the edge with the faintest line
of gray, and the pupil looks what
it really is, only a portal for sun
beams to enter. Mrs. Gaines has
no fancy for,the dark side of life,
no disposition to tarry in shadow.
No one ever sees oher without a
bonnet, and the fluffy crimps which
show in front and the coil at the
back of the head don't seem to be
indigenous to the scalp of the
wearer. She glories in fighting
what she terms her "great moral
BATTLE" declares she might long
ago have won her claim had she
been willing to tamper with justice,
and her hatred of Mr.. Gushing is
something amusing in its energetic
expression. -...--
