Meadows Of gold.

6hod with the mold,
And crowned with the light Of the day
We are the chemists OF earth,
The wizards who wakcn to birth
The ylolets blue, and buttercups, TOO,
Under the dark and the dew.
Meadows Of gold.
Winding and vending along.
Fair to behold,
And merry and mellow with songi
Ye arc tho poets whose chimes
Are rung by tho reapers, whose rhymes
Are written In wind-rows OF grass,
BY musical sickles that pass.
Meadows Of gold
Laughing and leapiug afar.

Forever the beautiful are.
Ye are the Hebes who dip
And lift from the loan to the lip
The nectar. whose pleth0rto flood
Is tinted and turned into blood.

Habitations of Cruelty.

News from Ashantee painfully illus
trate that ''the dark places of the
earth are full of the habitations of cru
city" The country is in disturbed
state, owing to the deaths of the king
and his well known predecessor, Coffee
Calcalli. Small poX has been raging
in and around Coomassie, and among
the victims was the king, Quacow Duah,
who died very suddenly. In honour
of the funeral 300 of his subjects were
killed. Immediately afterwards Coffee
Calcalli, who was king of Ashantee at
the time of the war in 1873, and subse-
quently deposed, was found dead in
his bed, having been murdered, as was
generally believed, although it was
given out that he died from apOplexy.
The successor to the throne will, it is
supposed, be Meniah, who was king
up to few months ago, but who was
depOsed on account of his barbarOus
cruelties. The Ashantee chiefs have
sent ii deputatiOn to the governor of
Cape Coast Castle, asking that their
country shall be annexed to the British
protectOrate. The whole country is
said to be in arms, and civil war is
probable. Il The Natalian, Africa.
