WHAT

What does the bird born in gilded cage
Know of the Wild sweet freedom Of the air
outside-the maddning thrill of houudiess space,
Bound only by the heaYens, blne and fair?
What does the child whose life has never passed
Beyond the inland, narrow. small, unfree,
Know OF the grand, calm. passionate, wild soul
That throbs in every movement of the sea
What does the man born blind and deaf and dumb.
Know OF the sweet strange secrets OF the Earth 7
What do the mountains, standing ste-n and grim,
Know OF the raptarnus mystery of birth?
What does the woman whose soft, silent lips
Have ne'er been pressed by kisses sweet as pain
And sad as ioy-what knows she of leve
That all the storms of time have never slain?
Fanny DriscoH

THE FORGET-ME-NOT.

The East Wind sprang into lovely place
And cried "I'll slay the flowers and leave no trace
OF all their blooming in this happy spot!"
And, as before his breath the sweet flowers died,
One little bright-cyed blossom moaned and cried,
g o woods! forget me not! forget me not!
o woods of waving treesl o living streamsl
In all your noon-tide joys and starry dreams,
Let me, foi love, let me be unforgot;
o birds that sing your carols while die,
o list to me! hear my piteous cry!
Forget me not! alas forget me not r.
And the Gods heard her piaint and swept away
The btterfanged, strong East Wind from his prey
And smiled upon the flower and changed her lot,
So now that, as we mark her azure leaf,
We think of lite and love and parting griet,
And sigh, forget me not! forget me notl

NIGHT.

Slowly the sunset fades;
Nights shadows fall;
The pale moon glimmers thfo' the shades
Abont the poplars tall:
The rivers waves amid the reeds
Like wan, gray scrpents crawl.
A hnshing wind doth go
In secret, where
The rushes bend with the waves flow,
And the reeds twist like hair
Slow stealing, till it takes the ashen boushs
With sudden gusts of air.
Somewhere, a too-late bird
Makes shrilly sound;
Close by, the marish frogs are heard
Upon the weedy ground;
white owl fits on ghustly wing,
And the bats swarm around.
The quivering planets shine
Through the black night;
They seem to hang like ire-aies on
The tree-tops NIL alght;
The rustling topmost leaves all CLEAN
With silyery white.
The pale moon grows apaee
A warmer hue;
1t draws a veil across the face
OF night, which Iookesh through;
: 1t feeds the hills and hidden dells
With misty, yellow dew
Like pale gold dew it lies
On half-seen trees;
With broad and yellow sheets it elads
The sloping flowery ieas;
Its misty smile In the far skies
Lights mp the restless seas.
A hushlng wind doth 60
In secIet. where
The reeds within the rivers flow
Wave like long. twisted hair,
And dies in silence on the lips
OF lilies lying there.

Singular Practices Il . Fanatical ssetin Magtt
f. eEa New llEEsxiee.


leo Is fanatical sect called Penitentes,
whose performances during Lent in each
year are horribly disgusting. Imagining
that by inflicting severe punishment upon
themselves they may atone for sins com.
mitted duri0g the year, they. at the begin.
ming Of Lent, go apart from their fellows
and up on the mountains and in the deel
cahons, practice downright bntchers upon
themselves, cutting lacerating and burning
their flesh, and fasting until they fall faint
ing from sheer exhaustion and loss of blood.
On Good Friday their orgies culminate in
. grand semi-public pow-Wow. They then
repair TO their lodge, or council house, and
at an appointed hour form In procession
and march thence to q spot on some neigh
boring hill designated By large cross.
What performances are enacted within
their lodge none but members OF the society
know, as the profane are not admitted
When they appear 10 public their costume
is more seant than elegant, consisting OF
only pair Of cotton drawers and cover
ing for the head. This last is drawn down
over the face, efectually preventing recog-
milton. Their already enaaciated backs are
then sacrificed and eutiwifh flint knives,
usually ten or tweivs Sits each side Of the
backbone. Each then is provided with .
whip or scourge made. of cactus orSpanish
bayonet, with which they lash themselves
over the shoulders at each step, the endof
scourge striking the spot already cut and
gashed with the knives. The blood from
the wounds thus inflicted runs down and
satnrases the. cotton drawers, giving the
wearers most horrible appearance. On
arriving At the cross. If they are fortunate
enough to withstand the terrible punish
ment precedent, they prostrate themselves
with their faces upon the earth and lie ex-
posed for hours to the gaze Of the curious
crowds attracted By the exhibition. 4 has
frequently happened that one, more fanati-
cal than the others, is actually crucified on
these occasions by being tied TO the cross
with rawhide thongs, the feet legs and
arms swelling almost TO bursting By the
severe strain Of supporting the weight Of
ths body. Many are said 20 have died from
this self-torture either before being re-
moved from the cross Or within . day or two
after having been taken dosn. With the
progress of civilization, however, this spe-
cies OF torture is mere and more rarely
