THE CHURCH BELLS.

In the. mountain.guarded valley, where my
cradle stood OF yore,
OFT sat in trembling wonder whore the billows
lave the Shore
Heard the church bells iron voices wax and
wane and sink and soar.
Now with solemn claugor rising, like teeming
host OF sound,
stormins citadols Of silence, thicsly charging
round on round
Rousng with the blare OF battle hushcd abysses,
chill, profound.
Till the mountain peaks awaken, and the deep
refrain they seize,
And in vague alarm they shout 1t, till it
dwindle, till IL freeze
In the shuddcring icy vistas of the blue eterni.
tics.
As I dreaming sat and listened, God. methought
was very near
could see His eye above me, stern and watch
full, in the clear,
Calm empyrean, and His warning In the church
bells coulo hear.
OFT with childish Sins guilt-laden here sat and
heard Him scod;
i had teased. perhaps, played truart. or been
stubborn, wanton, bold
Straightway, Lo! His eye He darkcned and
abroad His thunder rolled
But what cheer, what sweet contcntment earth
ana cloud and sky distilled,
When with joyous heart anu buoyant out
leaped from tasks fulfilled
Forests sang and waves were laughing and my
soul with rapture thrilled
Oh, how fain would 1 recall ye years across
whose gulf gaze!
Here stand again and listen, as in ohildhood's
eager days
Listen 10 the selfsame church bells with
troubled, dim amaze.
But the message, Oh, the message which they
bore H. days Of yore,
And the war. ing voice that trembled from be-
yond the heavenly shore,
And the blessing which they sprinkcd, fresh
like dew the meadows DER
How opaque, how strangely dullcd is now the
sky unto my sight!
Vanished all the rapturous glmpses from the
child's bright realm of light.
And the faith that on the Fathers breast re-
posed at fall of night.

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN.
somo or tho characteristics OF People ]
the Island Continent,

the Island Continent.
Though pretty, tall, and we'll formed
the Australian Is not graceful Hel
feet are seldom small, her hands rarely
beautiful. Moreover, she does not dresi
we'll. Her toilet has none of the chic
Of the Parisiennc's, little of the sobriety
Of the English womnn's. Overdressed
or dowdy, she produces the impression
OF not only having little taste, but nc
artistic sense of the fitness of things.
Stylish and elegant women are to be
seen more frequently in Melbourne
than elsewhere. Nevertheless, dress is
dear to the soul of an Australian, and
much is spent on IL. Down in the
lowest social grades It plays an i'm.
portant part. The Australian hugs the
idea of equality, and, believing in uni.
formity OF dress as the visible sign OF
equality, often sacrifices actual com.
fort to obtain fashionable clothing. An
Australian family makes brave show
on holidays. There may be bare feet
and rags in the house, but there
are cheap feathers and gloves in
the street. Here the vanity of
the race peeps out and hatred of
apparent social distinctions, for vanity
is stronger in the Australian woman
than ambition, just as Incidence is
more inherent than energy. She ls
clever, but not intellectual, accom-.
plished oftener than highly educated.
To be able to play the piano is re-
garded as sort of cachet of distinc-
tion, not to play it as lamentable
sign of neglected education. Tact is
natural to her, also quick sense of
perception. With the ready ease that
troutlet changes It's color into har-
mony with that OF its surroundings,
she adapts herself to circumstances,
catches the cue of her entourage and
contrives to produce favorable i'm
preston. With cheerful disposition
and mercurial temperament the serious
side of life scarcely appeals to her.
foreseeing not that to sow the wind is
to reap the whirlwind, she exacts
neither obedience nor due reverence
from her children, and, without being
specially religious, leaves the responsi-
bility of their future very much to
Providence. Thus some of the finest
feelings that bind the human race to-
gether become destroyed, and spuri-
GUS sort of independence loosens fam
lily ties in Australian households.
Though hardly capable Of strong feel
ing and deep, passionate attachment,
the Australian is affectionate, and in
manner hospitable, friendly and se,ne-
times sympathetic. Strangers to-day,
tomorrow you are intimately acquaint-
ed. In friendship there is no tentative
stage, but plunge in medias res

the feet are very tired and hot plunge
them into basin Of cold water and
keep them there until a sensation OF

"The kicking with the feet is much

out to your armpits and turn toward
the shore; joir the hands in front of

and thumbs together; lean forward in
Che water, pushing your hands out
slowly until the arms are quite
straight, and move your feet gently
from the bottom with little push for

yourself foot or two. Repetition will

that is needed is to use the feet.
