THE CIDER MILL.


By JOHN g WHITTIER,
Under the blue New England skies, ..+
Flooded with sunshine valley lies.
The mountains clasp it, warm and sweet,
Like sunny child to their rocky feet.
Three pearly lakes and hundred streams
Lie on its quiet b. art of dreams.
Thro' its trees the softest sunlight shakes,
And the whitest lillies gem its lakes.
love, OIL better than love can tell,
It's every rock and grove aud dell;
But most I love the gorge where tho rill
Comes down BY the old brown cider mill.
Above the clear springs gurgle out.
And the upper meadows wind about;
Then Join, and under willows flow
Round knobs where the blue beech whip stock
grow
To rest in shaded rool that keeps
The oak trees clasp in its crystal deeps.
Sheer twenty feet the water falls
Down from the old dams broken walls,
Spatters the knobby bowlders gray,
And laughing, hides in the shade away
Under great rocks. thro' trout pool still,
With many tumble down to the mill.
All the way down the nut trees grow,
And squirrels hide above and below.
Acorns, beechnuts, chestnuts there
Drop all the fall thro' tho hszy air;
And burs roll down with curled up leaves,
In the mellow light of the harvest ewes.
Forever there the stiIl. old trees
Drink wine of peace that hath no lees.
By the roadside stands the cider mill,
Where lowiand summer waits the rill;
A great brown building, two stories high,
On the western hill fase warm and dry;
And odorous piles of apples there
Fill with incense the golden air;
And heaps Of pumi Q mixed with straw,
To their amber sweets the late flies draw;
The carts back up to the upper door,
And spill their treasures on the floor;
Down thro' the toothed wheel they 60
To the wide, deep cider press below;
And the screws are turned by slow degrees
Down on the straw laid cider cheese;
And with esoh turn a fuller stream
Bursts from beneath the groaning beam.
An amber stream that gods might sip,
And fear no morrow's parched lip;
But wherefore gods1 Those ideal toys
Were soulless to real New England boys.
What classic goblet ever felt
Such thrilling touches thro' it melt,
As throb electric along straw,
When boyish lips the cider draw9
The years are heavy with weary sounds,
And their discord life's sweet music browns;
But yet hear, OIL sweet, oh! sweet,
The rill that bathed nay bare, brown feet;
And yet the cider drips and falls
On my inward ear at intervals;
And lead at times sad. sweet dream
To the babbling Of that little stream;
And sit in visioned autumn still.
In tie sunny doors Of the cider mill.

CATHOLIC NOTES.
Events in the Churches-Sisters of Charity
Wanted in South America.

Wanted in South America.
Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, has been
appealed to by the former Venezuelan consul
at Baltimore TO ascertain whether any Sisters
of Charity can be found in this country who
are willing to 90 to Venezuela as religious
teachers. In his letter to tho Archbishop the
consul says:
During the reign OF Guzman Blanco as President
Of Venezuela, from 1870 TO 1877, nearly all the Cath
Ollie institutions of the republic were abolished and
the property was seized by the Blanco government
law was passed prohibiting the founding or main
tcnance OF any convent in the republic, and 1t is
still in force.
The letter then goes on to promise the pay
ment of the expenses to Venezuela of all Sis
tiers of Charity who will respond to the appeal,
and further promises that they will be pro-
vided with good homes.
The Catholic societies of Boston have do
cided to dispense with the parade on st.
Patrick's day, and, instead, have invited Gem
eral b. F. Butler to deliver lecture on st.
Patrick's night.
The Rev. Father Ryan, of East Washington,
will preach at the late mass at st. Patrck's
Church next Sunday.
On Monday morning next, at seven o'clock,
the Most Rev. Archbishop Of Baltimore will
consecrate the beautiful altar of st. Augustne's
Church, on Fifteenth street. The conservation

A New Hospital stretcher.

The District Commissioners were shown yes.
terday new stretcher for the hospital service
1t was manufactured by the Messrs. McDer.
mott Brothers, from designs of their own and
is of the most acceptable pattern yet offered
for public use. 1t is intended to accompany
the police ambulance, and so made that it can
be unlmbered aud extended with ease and
upon the shortest notice. 1t has gutta- percha
rollers, handles, and legs which are of smooth
and easy adjustment. The pattern is in close
resemblance to that recently made by the same
firm for the Surgeon Generals Office and which
has proved satisfactory in the army.
