CHINEsH FARMERS MODE OF LIVING.
The Chinese farm house is curious
looking abode. Usually it is sheltered
with groves OF feathery bamboo and
thick spreading hanyans. The walls
are Of clay or wood, and the interior Of
the house consists Of one main room
extending From the hoor TO the tiled
roof, with closet looking apartments
il tt. corners for sleeping rooms.
There il ~ aiding Window ON the roof
made OF cut oyster shells arranged in
rows. while the side windows are mere
wooden shutters. The floor is the bare
earth, where at nightfall there often
gathers together miscellaneous fam
lily Of dirty children, fowls, ducks,
pigeons and litter of pigs, all living
togetherln perfect harmony, In some
districts infested by marauding bands
the houses are strongly fortified with
high walls containing apertures fog
firearms aud protected by q moat
crossed by rude drawbridgc. With

THE HIGHWAY COW.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
One horn was turned up and the other turned
down,
She was keen Of vision and long Of limb
With Roman nose and short stump tall
And ribs like the hoops on homemade pail
Many mark did her body bear;
She had been target for all things known
On many scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where it once had
grown;
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many a well-aimed stone,
Many brickbat Of goodly size,
And many a cudgel swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her loving eyes,
Or had bounded off from her bony back,
With noise like the sound Of a rife crack.
Many day had she passed in the pound
For helping herself to her neighbours corn
Many cowardly cur and hound
Had been transfxed on her crumpled horn;
Many a teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-woIn tail.
Old Deacon Gray was pious man.
Though sometimes tempted to be profane,
When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out of his growing grain;
Sharp were the pranks she used to play
To get her fill and get away.
She knew when the deacon went 10 town;
She wisely watched him when he went by
He never passed her without frown
And an evil CLEAN in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip i'll a surly way,
And drive along in his "one-hors shay"
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with crumpled horn,
Nimbly scaling his garden wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn:
Eating his cabbages, one by one,
Hurrying home when her work Was done
His human passions were quick to rise,
And striding forth with a savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
As lightnings flash in summer sky,
Redder and redder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would go.
Over the garden, round and round,
Breaking his pear and apple trees,
Tramping his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hives of bees,
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung
The moses grew on the garden wall;
The years went by with their work and play,
The boys OF the village grew strong and tall,
And the gray-haired farmers passed away,
One by one as the red leaves fall,
But the highway COW outlived them all.

IRISH LOVE SONGS.

Without an exception they are per-
vaded by a spirit which, so far as
we know, could not find in any Eng
lish love songs whatever-s spirit Of
graceful, and TO our mind, charming
playfulness, SO expressed that you
never doubt for a moment that the
light, sometimes even derisive, words
cover an affectionateness- a pas
sion, mind-so deep that but for the
laugh it might give way in tears.
English poets have many moods in
thor love songs, but not. we think,
exactly this one-not this union of sin
cere feeling, sometimes even of wor-
Shipping feeling, with an inner sense of
q certain comedy in the situation, as
if the poet would not suffer himself to
be quite serious. We could produce
from English collections specimens
burning with passion, alive with wor-
ship, saturated with affectionateness,
full of longing, of rapture, or Of that
melancholy want that sense of
something missing and never to be re-
placed, which is the distinctive note
Of the English poetry Of love. But
FOR the special tone OF these Irish
songs, this love-making by man who
is dancing the while, yet in dancing
is full Of the wish to win his love, and
fearful lost in his highest jumps he
should ever cease to seem az admiring
as he feels, we should, We fear, in En-
glish poetry look in vain.

happier than when l am engaged
in irrigating my tropical garden or
climbing my neighbor with hos when
he shuts off my water supply by stick

my irrigation, that way and damned
the water to such degree that shut

that moment | discovered my next

He was also iammins an old pair OF
Rembrandt pants into the canal, where
they would shut oil my supply. He
stood with his back toward mo, and
just as he said he would meet me
when the sun went down. | slnote
him across the back Of the neck with
my hoe handle, and before lie could
recover from the first dumb surprise
and wonder pulled the dripping pan
falcons ont OF the ditch and tied them
in true lovers knot around his neck.
He began to look black in the face, and
his struggles soon ceased altogether.
At that moment his wife came out and
shrieked two pure womanly shrieks,

in a bantering tone of voice, and rails
