TO THE RAIN.

yetwmklns drops olpot,criug rain,
y,ur mournlul song hear again,
Which wakes within sad refrain
Sad thought OF loDg ago.
The buried hope Of otacr years,
With all it, pangs again appears,
When ere see the sky In tears
NV tears would willing flow.
iva wandered far all o'cr the land,
Great mountains crOssed-so softly, grand.
And heard the waves by Ocean strand
Yet still hear the rain.
Nv heart still wanders back once more.
Back TO the home on far OF shore,
Whcn Ger hear the storm winds roar
With sobs like heartfelt pain.
Zee a grave with flowers strewn,
Whose leaves by gentle winds are blown,
A grave DER which the storm winds moan
With strange, unearlhly Sobs
| see this mound-ths grassy grave,
IIhose budding flowers the dew drops lave,
And as watch the petals wave
Oh how my lone heart throbs
Long years the grass has grown so green,
Long years I've wandered from the Sccue,
But often in my dreams I've been
Returned to it again.
And when I've zen the darkenng sky,
Or hendtle storm God thunder by,
Or wild winds whistle with Sign
Or hear the pattering rain.
Then gently fall, ye sunny showers,
Upon that mound OF falling flowers
Aud pray the storm XII y stay hs powers
When lightuings fiery dart
For every storm that wildly blows.
SO rudely sends each dlooping rose,
And like q knell Of sorrow goes
Each blast to my lona heart.
Then gently fall thou crystal rain,
While storm winds breathe In nsoitenedStrain,
Like sebs Of one in bitterest pain
Over that sacred spot
oh grave farewell Deaths bitter stin,,
Still, To my aching heart docs cling,
Though joy her horde ef pleasures bring
Yet thou art not forgot.

The Mealthen Chinee.

When IN California | visited Chin
csc church. In it were several ugly idols,
gaudiy painted, made of paper pulled
out with wire. Some of them had many
eyes, several hands, and now and then
one had double head. They had eyes
in their knees, eyes IN their stomachs,
and eyes on the tops of their heads.
Some had hands all around them, and
all had long, fierce looking boards. A
little child in our party was too fright :
-ened to look at the idols. She kept
saying--
20, mamma, it is SO ugly! Take me
away"
The heathen priest was clever man.

great reader. In this joss house he stood
in front of the gods vith his people. and

his eternal salvation depended on his
worship.
