We sing the dear songs Of the oIden time

We hum the sweet strains Of the Sabbath chime
That hoated away on the Springs warm breath.
We summon from shades Of the distant past
The beautiful things that we buried there,
And tenderly fancy their forms recast

We muse on the landscape so passing fair
That rayished the eye IN life's early morn,
And pine for the fragrance that filed the air
From the new mown clover and tassled corn;
From the mint-frinsed banks Of the sparkling

From odorous trellis in field and wood,
Where wild vines fashioned the shady nook
For the thrush that Is 81 ,ing - God Is good -

Playing Chess with a Thug.

The announcement that a clergyman
in the north of England is about to play
a game of chess on his lawn with living
pieces supplied from the children of his
parish, recalls one of the most amusing
of the "Contes Eccentriques' of Adrien
Robert. The Thugs, according to the
French writer, who wished to have it
all their own way in India, having made
five attempts to stab, poison, and blow
Up the governor of the East India COM
pany, attributed their want of success
to a talisman in the shape of his gray
felt hat, unknown till then in India.
His passion was chess, and it was deter
mined by the chief of the sect to chal-
lenge him at that game. The stake
was the governors hat on one side and
the surrender of the ringleaders of the
Thugs on the other. On the plains of
Barrackpore a chess-board one hundred
wards square was marked out. There
were elephants for the castles, and
knights in armor and living pawns.
The governors men were supplied at
f25 apiece by his rival. The game
lasted all day, for all the pieces were
killed as they were taken. just as the
Thug queen was in danger, having TAX
en- the white queen, the imperturbable
governor adjourned to lunch where he
Stayed two hours. His rival was in
anguish. for the queen was his own
wife. On the return of the governor
the white king advanced to take her,
but the magnanimity of the English
man stepped in, and he took her pris-
oner This generosity SO demoralized
his opponent that in few more moves
the game was over, the conspirators
handed over to the mercies of John
Company. and India saved from perish

Children of Divorced Parents.

An interesting question as to the
claimed right of divorced mother tc
see her children after their custody has
been awarded to the father has just
been decided by the general term of the
Supreme Court in this city. The divorce
had been obtained by the husband, who
refused to permit the wife to visit their
child, which was living with him. The
mother petitioned the court for leave to
see the child, and the special term re.
ferred the matter to referee to ascer-
tain whether the petitioner was leading
proper life. The general term reverses
this order, and holds that whether the
petitioner was or was not leading q
proper life after the separation 1.-THE
court has no jurisdiction on the petition
of the wife after final judgment to enjoin
upon the husband or the children the
company of the woman who has vio-
lated her marriage VOWS" 1t explains
that when the marital relation is ended
by decree of divorce the subsequent
relation of the parties to each other is
the same as though they had never been
married. when the decree of divorce
is granted upon the application of the
husband for the marital infidelitv of his
wife," says the opinion, ''she ceases to
have any right to the care, control. ed
ucation or companionship of the minor
children" This is so whether the final
decree awards the custody of the child
rem to the father or is silent on that sub
