Japan-In the Inland Sea.

We were sailing among the 5000
islands Of the Inland sea. The islands
were often little more than a~single
rock with probably one tree peering
over the summit, but there were num-
bers of them big enough to allow the
brown-reofed villages to nestle among
the rice-felds or to lie at the foot of
steep hill-sides terraced up to the very
top, and sometimes there were glorious
mountains, range behind range, till the
highest had delicate crown of cloud,
superb mountain amphitheaters, and
masses of tumbled hills, and the soft
light OF the grass upon them all, like
Killarney on summer day, blended
with the mighty sweep from Null to
Ben Cruachan. 1t was the most shift
ing view [ ever saw, and sky and sea
and land all shared the Inconsistency.
Now calm strait that reached for
miles between two islands on our right,
speckled with boats and fringed with
woods and little bays of pure white sand
fit for the feet of fairies, and the heaven
above clear pearl gray; then blue sky
and merry breeze, scattering foam
over the sea and sweeping on
the ungainly junks with their
white, full-bellied sails, the hills
gray and blue and purple, and dim
and mighty islands, like clouds in
the far distance; here so close to the
shore that we were under the shadow of
the cliff, the rocks and wooded points
narrowing in on both sides till we could
believe we were sailing on some Eastern
Rhine; then, in moment, out into an
open sea, with space and light and far
off land. And this procession passed
us Increasingly from sunrise until sun
set. It might have been Loeb Lime or
Ross island, Arrochar or Windermere,
until we rubbed our eyes and saw the
junks at anchor, the spectral fringe of
trees along the hilltop, the brown roofs,
and the curves of country temples.
Then, in the late afternoon, we ran be-
low a lighthouse rock, and the light
keeper ran up his flag; and, looking
back, we saw long stretches of the love
hest green water, changing, as we
looked, under every play of light and
shade and color; then line of tele-
graph poles, a green point jutting out
on the left to meet the hills upon the
right, so that the steamer has little more
than room to pass in the clear, still
water, and we were in a land-locked
bay, anchored off the pretty town OF
Simonasaki, and the setting sun Lit up
the woods and sea and sky with crimson
and gold. We supposed we must steam
out again by the strait that we mad en-
tered, but when the anchor was lifted
the steamer held on her course, appat-
entity against the opposite shore, then
turned sudden corner, and we were
plunging in the rough waves of a
troubled sea. When the evening falls
and the sea is calm, the fishing boats
crowd it with the sparkle of their lights
but away from shore there are many
junks that carry no lights, and are slow
to answer their helm, and cause OF

Life in New Mexico.


New Mexico has brilliant climate;
one could hardly desire better, but
there are incidents about that climate.
A gentleman built a handsome frame
house in Central New Mexico, and took
his family to live in it. It came winter,
and a fire was regularly built in the
kitchen stove. One dayth cat Was about

custom of its kind, when it was. OBJ

the heat Of the stove. The snake
was killed, but the next day another
one appeared in the same place. This
thing was kept up for some days. A
snake was killed every day Finally
one was found in the gentleman bed.

on this point. Breaking away the

Touching Instance Of Gratitude.

me for the love of God to do something
for him in the way Of giving him work

WILLOW GLEN.
BY w. FRANKLIN WATSON.

ON where the little girl knew,
Vita laughing eyes and sunny hair,
THAT played where pretty fowerets grew,
And breathed their perfume in the air;
When we were young and happy too,
And Willow Glen was bright and fair.
Yes, we were happy children when
took her tiny hand in mine,
And LED her down leafy glen,
Where grew the trailing ivy vine;
Each beauty wore luster then,
And mellow did the sunlight shine.
And when we gained the little brook
Where purling, sparkling waters flow,
A seat upon the bank took,
She tossed the pebbles to and fro,
And laughing, cried for me to look,
"See, Charlie; see the fishes goi''
met her in the grove one day,
Her blue eyes flowed with sorrow then;
~Charlie, we part" heard her say;
"For must go from Willow Glen,
So many, many miles away,
fear I'll never come again.
"They say I'll see Southern land
Where father is so good and kind;
But what care for scenes 80 grand
When leave all 1 love behind?I
The living on that distant strand
Seems lonely to my fearful mind.n
We parted in the willow SHADE
While day was blending into night,
From that loved spot where we had played
We watched the fading. lingering light,
The sun that set upon the glade
Seemed set in one eternal night,
We parted meier again to meet;
Long years have wheeled their cycles round,
Yet oft turn my weary fee.
TO that forsaken playing ground,
In fancy's trancient dreams to greet
The smiling face and merry bound.a
There came to Willow Glen one day 70
The daughter of man of wealth,
From Southern chimes, the people say;
I fain would see the face by stealth.
'Twere vain--she knew as we'll she may,
But only murmured, "Now, your health"
The jeweled hand in mine was cold
AS glacier of the frozen North; a
And when my hand released its hold
wandered hopeless, aimless forth, '
And breathed a curse on Southern gold
That blighted what cherished worth.
Can this Respondent, princely form,
With sweeping, proud, defiant ways,
With sparkling robes and ivory arm
Be her knew in other DAYS?
That sought my side in shine and storm,
And only knew my humble praise.
Ny hopes were vain; my head is bent,
Iwak the solitary dell;
With bitter pangS my heart is rent;
My thoughts but o tits vain to tell
She's but gilded monument
OF the girl loved so WELL. ,

Matrimonial Relations of the Zulus

MdCfImOnlal RELATIONS OF the EuluSs
Of the habits and characteristics of
the Zulu race, mentioned by the CORE
spondent of the Paris Figaro, some of
the most notable are to be seen in their
matrimonial relations. The juvenile
male Zulu is obliged to work for his
father until he is about Is years old,
when he goes on a sort of grand tsur to
make his fortune in the world AL
though he is not much of a workman,
where industry or activity is needed, he
is, nevertheless, very keen in the pur-
suit of filthy lucre, and is not above
practicing a strict economy, while he
employs every means, fair or foul, of
scraping together a hoard of money.
Thieving is his especial forte, and what
with this and an occasional spell of
more honest labor, he acquires, sooner
or later, sufficient pocket money to en-
able him to purchase wife. The price
of he1pmeet in Zululand seems to be
from ten to twenty-five head of cattle,
according to the rank of the woman,
and, as soon as the first wife is secured,
the bridegroom begins to enjoy for the
first time some degree of leisure and
ease He makes the unfortunate woman
work in the fields and earn fresh
hoard, with which he procures second
wife. and then is enabled to begin life
of comparative luxury. Children are
born to him, and of these the males are
to work, while the daughters are sold,
so that the father has nothing to inter
fere with his natural tastes for beer, to-
bacco and idleness. The Zulu mother
in-law appears in strange light in the
account given by the Figaro. Her
name is never mentioned by the son-in-
law, and, if the two happen by ill-luck
to meet, the woman hides with all speed
behind the nearest bush, while the man
turns his head away and pretends not
to see.
