Country and Seaside.

Country and Seaside.
BT 4. BIRDIE TEALL.
IFrom the Bristol Times.l
Out from the dust of the city,
Prom its turmoil and din and heat,
Here with the joyous, warbling birds,
And the green grass at my feet,
How winsome and gay seems summer
In her garments of emerald green,
When, radiant with fruit and blossoms,
She reigns like a royal queen.
Then give me the grand old country;
A fig for your seaside places,
With their gleam and glitter of wealth,
And their satins and diamonds and laces;
With their promenades, flirting and balls
With their show of powder and paint;
With their fashionable formal calls,
And their bellss so easy to faint.
There's silver and china for dinner,
And china and silver for tea;
Lords, ladies and counts and barons;
No commoners there you'll see;
But all have high-sounding name-
General" this or " Princess that.
And they're most OF them playing game
For an heir-or an heiress, in fact.
Here, in the dear old country
So fresh, and pure, and free,
From the taint and style OF the town,
Ah, this is the place for me i!
Where the fragrant breath of the clover
And the scent of new-mown hay,
With the bountiful laden tables
Bring health and strength each day.
Balmy odors and beautiful flowers
That need no florists care,
Vines, MOSES and ferns in the woodlands,
And lilies and daisies fair
Abloom in the low.and meadows,
Where a thousand tiny grasses
Are nodding their dainty heads
To the summer breeze that passes.
Calm, quiet, serene and tender
Seems Nature everywhere;
There is life and strength in her midst,
And the heart torgets its care;
Old sorrows and pain and trials
Flee away, and the soul finds rest,
While Heaven seems nearer and dearer-
Ahs this is the dearest and best

The phrase "too thin" says a writer
in the Baltimore EUery Saturday, was
perfectly good English more than a CEN
Jury ago. Thus, in Smollett's novel,
i" Peregrine Pickle" (publishod in I75D,
when the hero suddenly informs his
ladylove, Amelia, that he is going
abroad, the tears gushed into her eyes.
and she was at great pains to conceal the
cause of her grief by observing that the
tea was so.scalding hot as to make her
eyes water. This pretext." says Smol-
lett, in all seriousness, twas too thin to
impose on her lover or deceive the OBJ
servation of her friend Sophy."

The Two villages.

Over the river, on the hill,
Lieth village, white and still;
All around it the forest trees
Whisper and shiver in the breeze;
Over it sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crowi
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow in the middle of every street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Anoth village lieth still;
There see in the cloudy night
Twinkling stars of household light,
Fires that gleam from the smithy door,
Mists that curl on the river shore,
And in the roads no grasses grow
For the wheels that hasten to and fro,
In that village on the hill
Never is sound of smithy or mill;
The houses are matched with grass and flowers
Never clock to toll the hours;
The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter hall oThut;
All the villagers lie asleep,
Never again to SOW or reap,
Never in dreams to mourn or sigh
Silent and idle and low they lie.
".
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many weary heart in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
And weeping and signing, longs to go
Up to that home from this below
Longs to sleep in the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
And heareth praying, this answer fall
Patience! that village shall bold yoL all.

A curious fact is reported from Tulare
county, Cal. Wheat is growing near
| Hauford, where, four years ago, the wa
ters of Tulare Lake stood ten feet deep.
In the four years prior TO last April the
lake reccded five miles, and since last
April one mile. On the land reclaimed
from the lake are found evidences OF
| former occupation, remains OF cabin
and coral, and irrigating bitches can be
traced running in straight lines, and some
of them extending into the lake and ap-
parently still further under the waters.

bean, which is imported from the West
Indies and Cochin China. Another and
still homelier source of this fragrant
essence has been found in field oats. the
bran and pericarp or husk of which,
when suitably treated, yield a very fine
vanilla perfume, which the discoverer,
NJ. Eugene Perullat, has termed areneine.

COOLIES IN CUBA.

NEW TREATY BETWEEN SPAIN AND CHINA.
HAVANA. July 6. 1879.
The Official Gazette publishes the text Of the new
treaty of Spain with China regarding the immigra-
ton Of Cinnamon to the island OF Cuba, which
grants the latter the full consideration due to free
and civilized persons and abolishes all the former
conditions imposed upon their Immigration which
made them no better than sem-slaves.
The principal points of the treaty follows:-
The immigration Of Cinnamon by contract is en-
tirely prohibited the immigrants will come to Cuba
by their own free will. and both countries. China
and Spain, bind themselves to prosecute those per-
and vessels bringing Cinnamon to Cuba against
their will Spain promises to treat the Chinese in
Cuba with the same consideration as foreign
of the most favored nation. To this
end the Chinese government will provide
with passport every emigrant, anu officials or both
nations will visit every emigrant vessel leaving
Chinese ports, order to insure full observance
of this law. The Chinese government will inter-
pose no obstacle to the free immigration Of China
men, The Emperor of China may appoint o consul
ut Havana and all other places the island where
consus of other nations are stationed, and these
consuls will enjoy the same preroRatives as their
colleagues OF other nations. Any Chinaman may
leave Cuba whenever it pleases him. unless he is
subject to judicial proceedings. All Cinnamon can
apply to the courts of justice like any other for
eigners and if any OF them have been treated
trary to law before this treaty was signed their
complaints will be examined and their rights ac-
corded to them.
OF those Chinese now in Cuba who came under the
old contracts OF immigration Spain will restore to
China those who had dedicated themselves in their
country to literary studes those who belonged to
any official category, those whose age makes them
unfit Tor work and the unmarried orphan girls who
might wish to return. Those remaining in Cuba
whose contracts have run out will receive certih-
cate to that effect and they will thenceforth enjoy
all the benefits stipulated in the treaty for their
countrymen, and they can remain or leave ut will.
All those whose contracts are unexpired must fulfil
them. Those who detained by the Cuban
thorties will receive their liberty unless they
confined for criminal action. The Cuban Guthori-
ties may il circumstances make it advisable prevent
the circulation residence Cinnamon in localities
where, for special reasons. their presence might
have u pernicous effect upon public order Finally
the treaty stipuates that notification OF one year
must be given of desire of either party for atera

STORMY WEATHER OVER THE BRITISH ISLANDS

FRUIT CROPS.
[BY CABLE TO THE HRRALD.1


By CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, July 10, 1879.
The weather since yesterday has been exceed
ingly bOisterous, particularly along the west
and northwest coasts. The wind was very
strong in most of the northern parts Of these
islands and blew q fresh gale in the Channel.
Thunder storms were very frequent and heavy
throughout the greater portion of Scotland
and the northern counties of England and
heavy hail showers accompanied the electrical
disturbances in many places. Reports come in
stating that the fruit crops in the North have
been severely damaged by the storms but as yet
the extent Of the loss cannot be found out. The
temperature has commenced to fall, as predicted
by the HERALD Weather Bureau. The de-
preston that was noticed on Tuesday
by the Meteorological Office in London
US moving toward the coast of Scot
land passed eastward during the night and is
now said to be over the North Sea, where it is
apparently filling up. There are now some
slight indications that the weather will clear
up. Although the storm does not seem to have
donevery much damage, other than the destruc-
ton OF portion of the fruit CROP it justified in
every particular the warning cabled by the
HERALD Weather Bureau.
