The freshness OF the woods Is mine.
] lie in bathsOf mountain air:
The forests depths of beech and pine
Fold grandly round me everywhere.
The thrush's song Is sweet and low;
A water-spirit stirs the ferns
Down where the silvery trickles flow
Ger EN- raj brims of sylvan urns-
On leafy glade and granite walls
The sunshine's misty spendOrs stream.
Afar lone dove Borrowing calls
As if the wood mOaned in its dream.
1see where purple lichens glow,
Where MOSES drink supreme content,
Where spreads the clematis, like snow,
The curtains of its spotless tent.
] see what chronicles are graved
On spintered cliff and weird rCvine.
And how the teeming ground Is paved
With beauteous forms of what has been.
The pine-tree's sigh and brooklet's mirth
Are in my heart with JOY and pain,
And all the sad and sweet Of earth
Pleads fl the pathos of the strain.
Far DER me palitates the blue,
As If Love lowered softly there,
And. from her tender bosom, drew
The holy calm that nils the air.
o sky above and world belowl
What a. the secret Of your speech?
o, why, beyond your glorious show,
Does soul with restless yearntng reach?
What f. the Life that life concealsi
The inner force. the primal fire?
The potency that makes and feels,
And battles most as we aspire?
What is the end, the good at last,
When each appointed task is done,
When every phase of change is past,
And beings goal of conquest won?
The mystic pageant comes and goes;
The old is new: the sad is gay;
The Everlasting order flows
Whiie hearts grow still and suns decay!
Amid the Infinite | grope;
] faint with reaching for a shore,
But hear the angels, Faith and Hope
ITO Love shall life be more and more"

Archdeaeon Jobh Henry Gray was
the British Chaplain at Hong Kong from
1851 70 1877, aud during his long resi-
dence in the country acquired the spoken
Language ofthapeopIe and became moro
coayersant with the Empire in fhe
peighborhood of Canton than apy other
foreigner. The result of his obserya.
tions was embodied In work on "Cbi-
Ea: A History of the Laws, Manners
and Customs OF the People," His wife
he's now published volume of her let.
tiers home, during the period of her resi-.
dence at Canton, in which, while des-
cribing very much the same things that
are discussed In her husbands book. she
has managed TO invest them with, new
interest, and to render the information
conveyed by them valuable not only for
its own merit, but also Is complimentary
TO tho york Of the good Afehdeaeon.f In
one of Mrs. Gray'e letters she gives q
graphic account of how she was led to
partnxe of what Chinese epicureans
would. considergreat luxuries. She says:
Il have been victim of wicked con-
spiracy on the part OF my husband and
the servants. You will learn from my
last letter that could not be prevailed
upon to taste the delicacies Of cat, dog,
and rat, provided at the Chinese dinner.
and served up in the dainty bowls
Well, when Henry returned home that
night he said TO Max: Now, undor.
stand, your misse must eat cat, dog and
rat; you to catchee them, and every
morning yon give one piece to eat that
b-eskfast time The days passed, and
Henry, thinking the servant had forgot,
ten all about his order, sat down to
breakfast, and I am glad to say the bitter
was bitten; for he, as we'll as our friend,
partook of dish of mince, which was
eerved.up-wi wall of potatoes. This
was according to Henry's wish, as he
thought the potatoes, served in English
fashion, would be o good disguise. HAY
ING tasted 1t, and not liking The flavor,
aenry said, soto Coce, TO the waiting boy:
What fashion. .chow chow this thing?

ment, thinking it Calls head mixed but
the idea did pass through nay ead.that
IL was rather high, and I looked toward
cur friend, but he seemed to be enjoying IL,
Tho following morning another mince
was served up, OF which Hehfy die not
partake, but did not notice this. He
declares that helped myself twice to it.
This mince was also disguised by q wall
qit, potatoes. On the third morning an
other of these mince dishes ornamented
again with potatoes was handed around,
and our friend, who had been let into
the secret, helped himself literally and
pronounced the dish good. T. remained
in ignorance of what I had eaten until
the middle Of the next day, when the
gentleman burst into fit of laughter.
and told me the hoax that had been
practiced on me and that'I had eaten
dog the first morning, cat the second,
and rat the third morning. Does It not
show how much there is in imagination
for he'd been told beforehand what tho
dishes would CONTAIN, l. could not have
a. a.mohthfuii OF their contents.'
