UPON THE HILLS.

Along their heights on peaks Of stone
The bird Of prey alights;
He rsars his young and dweIls alone
Along the heights;
A sentinel whose soul invites
The lurid clouds that shrek and groan
With frenzy on tempestuous nights,
o comel o comer for years have shown
The storm but vainly snites
The walls that create Freedoms throne
Along their heights.
Upon these walls doth ocean beat
With clamor that appa,s;
But wrecks at length his billowy feet
Upon these walls;
Then writhes with pain, and backward falls,
And moans within his safe retreat
Until again some cyclone calls.
o, come from the city's heat,
From where decay enthralls,
For ruin cannot plant his feet
Upon these wallsl
On crests SO high, mid rocks and bars
There's wealth for all who sigh, F
No fitful fever scathes and scars
On crests SO high
The calm and cool and open sky,
With all its hosts of changeless STARS,
Seems spread SO very close and nighl
0, come above the cloud that wars
Where tranquil stories liel
No strife from sorrows lowland jar
On crests SO high.
The spirit fills with joy sublime
On these enduring hills;
With sheen from heavens unclouded cline,
The spirit fills.
The breath like balm Of living rills
From fountains flow ing through all time
Into the suffering soul instils
Q, come from out the rueful CRIME
Which soon corrodes and kills;
The hills sing and their deathless chime
The spirit fills

look of surprise and curiosity. "Well,
it isn't much Of story after all, only,

There were two or three girls in the

Why He Killed the Bishop.

To-day interviewed Galcote, the assassin
of the bishop of Madrid. found him behind
a grating lighted by the rays of the setting
sun. reminding me of the prisoner described
in the first chapter of Little Dorritt." Gal
cote appeared with his monks hood half
drawn back, sulen, frowning, energetic
face, with large eyes, rolling wildly when
speaking, and long bony arms, ending in
huge, hairy hands. He dashed about the
dungeon to and fro, showing by his gestures
and the play of his features his impetuous
and violent temper. His words in answer to
my questionings were: 81 did it to ayenge
my honor as man and priest, after strug-

he showed much emotion, and when asked
him if he repented his crime he suddenly be-

tears and sobs choked him repeatedly. Next,
as if panic-stricken by some Renaissance,
he gazed before him vacantly and said: u

THE MAYFLoWER.
BY COL. c. DOUGLAS BREwERroN.

Fair Mayflower, child of the snow and the mist,
Dweler in woodlands where lovers keeps tryst
First born of the springtime an emblem full sweet,
OF that Easter where time and eternity meet.
Springing in beauty from death and decay,
Ere the maple buds burst or the SHOWS melt away,
So fragrant, SO modest, SO fair to the eye,
Thou seemest child not Of earth but the sky.
Go take with thee blessings of Easter and Spring,
The new resurrection thy pallid lips sing.
They call thee the Mayfiower, yet April may claim,
With its mood so uncertain, to give thee Nance
Thou art earlier far than the blossoms that greet
The footsteps that stray where thy sisters bloom
sweet.
Surely God had purpose in making thee fair,
In the fragrance you breathe and the blush robe
you wear,
From the womb of the winter yet frozen and chill,
Thou springest to strengthen our heart and our
will,
To renew with dumb lips that promise OF DID,
In death am with you though darkness enfold,
Till the last Easter morning shall wake from their
sleep.
The loved ones whose graves though forgotten l
keep.
My word has been given, its record is sure,
AS these buds of the hillside INTENDED endure.
The shroud of the snow and the sweep of the
storm,
SO thy soul in my keeping is waiting its morn,
Its Easter of spring time, of beauty and bloom,
Though the dust of the ages lie thick on thy tomb

densed biography of Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain:
Few political men have made so rapid
political reputation as Mr.. Chamberlain.
Trained in good school for public speak
ing. the school of local government, natural
gifts of expression had the best opportunity
of developing into oratorical power. Mr..
Chamberlain boasts a non-conformlst ances-
try. To this circumstance he referred In
speech he made at Denbigh in October. 1884,
when he said: 81 boast descent of which |
am as proud as any baron may be of title
which he owes to the smiles of king, or to
the favors of a kings mistress; Tor can
claim descent from one of the 1900 elected
ministers, who, in the time of the Stuarts,
left home and work and profit rather than
accept the state-made creed which it was
sought to force upon them; and for that rea
son. if for no other, / share your hope and
your aspirations" The subject OF our no

ident of the board of trade, from which ne
retired on the accession to office OF Lord Sal
isbury last year On Mr.. Gladstone again
assuming the reins of power, in January
last. Mr. Chamberlain was made president
of the local government board. AS writer
he is known as a contributor to the Fort
nightly Review. The right honorable gen.
tleman was educated at University College,
