A SONG OF THE WIND.
lOriginal.l

Harkl as soft as a maiden'S yes,
Breathing the love she can scarce confess,
Pensive and tender, the winds low sigh
Stirring the stalks of the lending rye.
See how the shadowy ripples pass,
Swift and sIuuOus over the grass,
Look. where ribbon Of silver sheen,
Flashes the brook its banks between,
List to the robins roundelay,
Flute notes dropping in liquid spray;
Keen as "A pleasure edged with pain,
Lingers the sOund of the sweet refrain,
Weaving itself with that tender sigh,
In and out through the waving rye
Harkl like an order of battle sent
Far atield where the dark lines blent,
Ans wer in rattle Of musketry.
Sharp and sudden, and fierce and free,
Rises the wind, till it rocks the pines,
Till heaven is crossed with flaming signs,
And strong and black, in a steady tide
Surgcs the ram DER the meadows wide.
Flashl there's the peal Of an organ chord,
Grand a. an anthem to praise the Lord,
Inland sweep over miles of turf,
ThunIer tones of the breaking surf.
Hush! 'tis the North winI rushes by,
Driving the gray rack athwart the sky;
Shall shiver the mast, and crush the ship;
This is the music that brave hearts dare,
FnnSlng defiance at hopes despair,
When the hurricane whistles, and storm and
night
Brighten the vigiIant stars from sight
Wind of the West, so soft and sweet,
Dallying long mid the ripening wheat;
Wind OF the South, with the thought OF
grace,
Lifting the curls from the baby, face;
Wind Of the East, so sharp and Chll,
Smiling the brow of the fog-bouad hill;
Wind OF tn, North, with the despoJ's might,
Routing the lances of morning light;
Wonderful winds, that DER the earth
Sing of death, as ye sing of birth;
One sweet word through your wrath OIL
cheer
Rises still TO the listening ear,
He who bids You in order move .
Wears forever the name of Love

The elevation of Sir Nathaniel de Roths-
child to the British peerage is in many re-
SpoctS significant. Mr.. Gladstone has the
credit of creating the first Jewish peer; for
though Lord Bsaconsh field was a Jew by
race, he was not a professor of the Heb
rev faith, and, in fact, has done what
was possible to cfface his connection
with his own people, But the Roths-
childs represent Hebraism all over the
world, and their family has for many years
been doing the actual fighting against the
venerable preludiceS which for so many CEN
tur!eS refused 10 the Jews throughout Europe
either social or political positions. Even in
this age OF toieration 1t has taken more than
generation TO conquer inherited antipa-
thleS; but it is instructive to observe
that In England tae house Of lords
ha' always beon behind the commons in
thlS as IN 20 many other points. Thus
when IN 1919 Baron Lionel de Rothschild
was return ID to tn house from Lon ION, and
being refused his seat the Jews oaths of ab
juraton bill was introduced To remove his
disabilities, the bill passed the house, but
wa, rejected by the lorls and in 1855 and
lN5a The same measures repeatedly passed
the house, MY 10 be Is steadily thrown out

BuJ il was not until 1871, after the aboli.

arts at Oxford; and even when Disraeli was
premier Of England and in the zenith of his
reputation there Is reason to believe that he

because he did not desire the honor but be-
cause he feared the poll ical effect of his ele-
walton. A. later period he accepted the
distinction, though there was much grum-
bling among the Conservative peers, but he
was not regarded as a thorough jew.
The elevation # Sir Nathaniel de Roths-
child, therefore, marks decided advance.
1t must be concluded that the old prejudice.
have nearly disappeared. For though the
speca distinction Of the Rothschilds is their
financial position, and though this has often
enabled them to control the course Of power
ful governments and to command at least
the outward show Of homage and respect
from the haughtlest aristocracy, their Ju-
daism has always been strongly marked. and
they have never made any concessions in
that particular,

One of the best features about the
change in the representatives OF the
government abroad is that Il large
majority of those being appointed
by the present administration are
men of emineutly sound views
upon economic questions. Hereafter
the consul reports will he more val
liable documents, ms the main OBJ
iect of the authors will not be to
bolster up the iniquitous high tariff
system. Let the cold facts in regard
to our trade with foreign nations be
laid before the people of the coun-
try, and the high tariff system Will
stand condemned. We are bound
to.have more rational tariff laws IN
the near future, and unbiased reports
from the consuls will hasten their
coming.

BRAVE FIGHTERS.

Royal Navy.

Women in Action on Board Ships of tho
Royal Navy.
In 1872 her Majesty's ship Swallow
fought two French vessels off Frejus.
1t was on June IL, and after a most
obstinate action she succeeded in driv-
ing them both in under the batteries of
the town. The following anecdote, as
narrated by one of the officers of the
Swallow, is told at some length in the
Naudl Chronicle, xviii, 1876: '1n the
gallant and sanguinary action there
was seaman named Phelan, who had
his wife on board. She was stationed
as is usual when women are on
board in time of battle-to assist the
surgeon in the care of the wounded.
From the close manner in which the
Swallow engaged the enemy, yardarm
and yardarm, the wounded, as may be
expected, were brought below very
fast: among the rest, a messmate of her
husband, Consequently her own,) who
had received a musket ball through the
side Her exertions were used to con-
sole the poor fellow, who was in great
agonies and nearly breathing his last,
when by some chance she heard her
husband was wounded on deck. Her
anxiety and already overpowered feel
ings could not one moment be re-
strained; she rushed instantly on deck
and received the wounded tar in her
arms. He family raised his head to
kiss her; she burst into flood of tears.
and told him to take courage, All
would yet be well, but scarcely pro-
nounced the last syllable when an
ill-directed shot took her head
off. The poor tar, who was close
ly wrapped in Der arms, opened
his eyes once more. then shut them
forever. Phelan and his wife
were sewed up in one hammock, and,
it is needless to say. buried in one
grave" The narrator adds to the
pathos of the above story telling how,
only three weeks before. a fine boy had
been born to them, and how poor

The most prominent feature OF
the MAY number of the North
American Review is the discussion
of the question Has Christianity
benefited Womau?n Mrs Elizabeth
Cadv Stanton leads off in the mega
tive and Bishop j. l.. Spaldlng
follows in the affirmative. In open
inc her article Mrs. Stanton asserts
that woman lis not indebted to any
form of religion for one step OF
progress, or one new liberty ON the
contrary, it has been through the
peryersion of her religious sentl-
ments that she has been SO long
held in n condition OF slavery"
She also claims that whatever intel
lectuakgrowth either man or woman
has acquired has been in opposition
to the church. To maintain her
position she makes the widest re-
search and brings all the arguments
which the ingenuity of woman could
suggest. But the ground which she
takes is so utterly untenable as TO
make even the strongest presenta-
ton of her side of the case appear
weak. In offering the proposition
that christianity has benefited wom-
an Bishop Spaldirg simply sets
forth some of the central truths OF
christianity, and calls attention to
the elevation of man and the still
greater elevation of woman under
christian civilization, which IS
enough to dispel all arguments
which can be made to the contrary.
In conclusion he says:
"The best interests of mankind
of the church and the state, will be
served by widening and strengthen
ing woman's influence. The ancient
civilization persisted because woman
was degraded, and ours will be per-
petuated by pure, believing, self
reyerent. and enlightened woman.

States is more religious, more moral,
and more intelligent than man
more intelligent in the sense Of
greater openness to ideas, greater

acquaintance with literature; and
whatever is really good for her must
be good for our religion and ciyiliza-
ton. She stays all the fair young
planets in her hands"

POETRY And SERIAL STORY.
GROWING BETTER.


With noiseless steps Good goes its way;
The earth shakes under Evils tread
We hear the uproar, and tbs said:
"The world grows wicked every day."
II is not true. With quiet feet,
In silence virtue sows her seeds,
While sin goes shouting out his deeds,
And echoes listen and repeat.
But surely as the old world moves
And circles round the shining sun,
So surely does Gods purpose run
And all the human race improves
Despite bold Evils noise and stir
Truths golden harvests fipen fast
The present far outshines the past;
Mems thoughts are higher than they were.
Who runs may read this truth, say:
Sin travels in a rumbling car,
While virtue sails on like u star;
The world grows better every day.
-Elld Wheeler Wilcor, in Chicago Adraace

The poor prospects for the barley
crop in many parts of the country
where it is sown early makes it
likely that good barley will bring a
rood price before another year. In
states like Wisconsin where late
seeding prevails it might be wise for
farmers to venture an increased
ocreooe of barley this season.
