 "Say on, dear brother. !" said Ahner.
 |" am thinking of an August day long ago." said Seth, solemnly and softly. ll was so very long ago, and yet it seems only yesterday. We were in the orchard together, under the bellfiower tree, and our little dog"
 FIdo," said Abner, remembering il all, as the years came back.
 Fido and you and 1, under the bell flower tree," said Seth. "how we had played. and how weary we were, and how cool the grass was, and how sweet was the fragrance of the fowersl Can you remember it, brother?"
 "Oh, yes," replied Abner, "and re- member how we lay among the clover and looked of at the distant hills ard wondered of the world beyond"
 "And amid our wonderings and long ings," said Seth, "how the old bellfower tree seemed to stretch her kind arms down to us as if she would hold us away from that world beyond the hills"
 And now l can remember that the clover whispered to us, and the cricket in the raspberry hedge sang to us of con tentment," said Abner. The robin, too, caroled in the linden"
 :" It is very sweet to remember it now, said Seth. How blue and hay the hills looked how cool the breeze blew up from the river how like silver lake the old pickerel pond sweltered under the summer sun over beyond the pasture and broom corn, and how merry was the music of the birds and bees"
 So these old men, who had been little boys together, talked of the August after- noon when with Fido they had romped in the orchard and rested beneath the bellfiower tree. And Seth's voice grew fainter, and his eyes were oh SO dim but to the very last he spoke of the dear old days and the orchard and the clover and the Hampshire hills. And when Seth went to asleep forever Abner kissed his brothers lips and knelt at the bedside and said a prayer his mother had taugh, him.
 In the street without there was the noise of passing carts, the cries of tradespeople, and all the hustle of a great and busy city; but, looking upon Seth's dear, dead face, Abner could hear only the musical voices of birds and crickets and summer winds as he had heard tfem with Seth when they were little boys together, back among the Hampshire hills.

Among the adventures recorded Of the Irish brigade while in France, one of the most amusing was an occurrence in the time of the Regent Orleans, in honor oi whose birthday grand masquerade was given in Paris. It was a high-ciass affair tickets were a double louis dor each. All the rank and beauty of Paris was assembled around the regent, and . costly and luxurious supper crowned the attractions of the night. While the entertainment vas proceeding one of the princes suite approached and whispered to him:
 "Is it worth your royal highness' while to step into the supper-room. There il yellow domino there who is the most extraordinary cormorant ever witnessed. He is prodigy, your highness- He never stops eating and drinking, and the attend ants say, moreover, that he has not done % for hours"

Whit,ier's Letter on Gordon.
Pail Mall Gazette.l

IT all hdll 0dLcuc.l
 The following interesting extract from letter just received from Mir. l. G. Whittier, the Quaker poet of New Eug- land, has been forwarded to us by Mr. Charles C. Reed. Mir. Reed had sug- gested to MT. Whittier that he should write poem on Gen. Gordon, and this is an extract from the poets reply, which is dated Danvers, Mass, March 4, 1885
 Thy letter found me pondering the very subject to which it so kindly sought to call my attention. For years have followed C .rdon's course with constantly increasing interest, wonder and admira- tion, and have felt his death as great personal bereavement. A providential man, his mission in an unbelieying and selfish age revealed the mighty power of faith in God, self abnegation, and the enthusiasm of humanity. For centuries no grander figure has crossed the disk of our plapet. Unique, unapproachable in his marvellous individuality, he belongs to no sect or party, and ds6es classified ton or comparison. should be sorry to see his name used for party purposes, for neither conservative nor radical has any special claim upon him. We Amer jeans, in common with all English. speak ing people the world over, lament his death and share his glorious memory. wish it were in my power to do what thee so kindly suggests, but l scarcely feel able to do justice, at this time, to the wonderful personality which for the past year has stood on the banks of the Nile, relieved against the dark background of the Soudan. have been suffering from illness, and dare not undertake the eu- logy of such man with a feeble hand. Perhaps it may some time be in my pow CT, as it is now in my inclination, to put my thoughts of him into metrical form. If could reach the ear Of Alfred Tenny- son l should urge him to give the world threnody inspired by the life and death of one who has made not only England but the world richer for his mem ory."
 "Mr. Whittier's letter on Gen. Cor don." writes a correspondent, suggests question which am sure has been oc- curing to many of us. Have we still . poet laureate3 Or is he the poet only of the court and not of the nation-ready with odes and congratulations when a court rejoices, and with no song to which to set 'an empires lamentation Yet his splendid ballad Of Tho Revenge published only few years ago, and his ode on the Defense of Lucknow pub lished yet later, show that the old fire still burns, and it is possible to hope that it will kindle into song now as it did thirty-three years since, when the Last great Englishman' was dead. Surely there is every element of tragic iuspira- ton in Gen. Gordon's fate, and his is a character fos which 'an ever-echoing ave nue of song should be preserved. One recalls, too, the laureate's exquisite in- scription on Sir John Franklin's ceno- taph:
 "' Not here the white north hath thy bones i;
 and thou,
 Heroic sailor soul,
 An passing en thy happier voyage now
 Toward no earthly pole.'
 And one cannot help hoping that for once poet may successfully repeat him. self"
