THE TWO VILLAGES.
ny Rosh TERRY.

Over the river. on the hill.
Iieth village white and STILL
All around II the forest trees
Shiver and whisper In the breeze.
Over II sailing shadows go,
Of soaring hawk and screaming crov.
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow IN the middle Of The street.
Over the river. under the hill,
Another village lieth still:
There see, IN the cloudy night,
Twinkling stars OF household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithys door,
Mists that curl on the river shore;
And in the road 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 a clock to toll the hours;
The marble doors are always shut,
You capnet enter in hall or hut;
All the villa GERS lie asleep;
Never grain to SOW reap,
Never in dreams TO moan or sigh,
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hin.
When the night Is starry and still,
Many weary soul In prayer
Looks TO the other village there.
And weeping and signing, longs to 60
Up to that home from this below.
Longs to sleep by the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child.
And hearetb, praying. THE answer fall
"Patience' that village shall hold you ALL"

Chinese Printing.

The blocks are all OF the same size,
about eight inches by twelve inches,
and about half an inch thick. Each
block represents two leaves Of four
pages of the book, being engraved on
both sides. The blocks for complete
work can thus be slowed away in very
small compass. The cost Of engraving
O page of the wooden blocks is said to
be but little more than the expense OF
setting upa page of Chinese type and
preparing it for the press. An edition
OF one copy can be printed il no more
are required, and thus the expense of
keeping large stock OF printed books
on hand, some Of which might eventu-
ally have to be sold as waste paper
when they grew out Of date or revisions
had to be made, as Is the case among
ourselves, is entirely avoided. Any
errors or misprints that may be dis.
covered can as rule be corrected on
the blocks with but very little trouble.
A skillful printer can print by hand
1000 leaves Of two pages each in day,
using no press or machinery whatever,
He supplies his own tools and receives
as wages about twenty-five cents
day. The paper ordinarily used is
white and Of the best quality, although
q yellowish kind is also made use OF at
reduction Of twenty per cent. on the
selling price. The books are bound in
the usual Chinese style and fastened
with white silk thread. They present
an appearance which satisfies the taste
of the most fastidious native. - London
