LONDON. Oct. 3.-The Pau Mall Gazette this even
ing sketches the draft of Land bill for England
which has been finally considered by special com
mittee of the Farmers Alliance to-day. The Dill
aims at the establishment of complete security Tor

creation of q Land Court in every district for the
settlement of questions concerning rents and all
other disputes.

and says
If the draft Is supported by majority OF the farmers
fhrou ghout the country and is vigorously used az

TWO LOVERS.

Two lovers by m0ss-grown spring
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing,
o budding time!
o loves blest prime !
Two welded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carolings,
The air was soft as pinning wings,
While petals on the pathway swept,
Opure eyed bride!
o tender bride
Two faces DER cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked
These pressed each other whil lie they rocked
These watched life that love had sent,
D solemn hour
o hidden power
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light fell about their knees;
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire.
Opatient life
o tender strife
The two still sat together there;
The red light shOne about their knees,
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left the lonely pair,
o voyage fast
o vanished past
The red light shone about the floor
And made the space between them wide;
They drew their chuirsup side by side.
Their pale cheeks Joined, and said once more:
o memories!
Opast that Is GEO. ELIOT.
