ness" with the religious symbols and
high moral code of it's early organization.
Its practice, however. accords rather
with its later than it's earlier standards,
the society existing as sort Of. Chinese
Carbonari. and gaining its end by op-
pressive and often bloody measures. 1t
is singular fact that in localities where
Tartar tyranny is not felt, and 30 does
not give definite object for union, the
league fight among themselves. an in
stance having occurred only few weeks
ago in San Francisco, where the police
had to interfere to prevent two lodges
from numbering each other. OF course,
the societies vary greatly in the degree
of hostility which they bear toward the
Tartar sovereignty, but as their persecu
ton is standing policy of that sover-
eighty, they are all opposed to the gov
eminent.
That there is nothing in the mere ex-
istence of a government which stimu-
lates the growth Of secret societies may
be taken for granted, the latter flourish
ing among peoples where no regular
polity exists; but there is no doubt that
an oppressive alien government supplies
a favorable basis for their development.
1t is such government that China pos
sesses; and it is doubtless the oppression
OF the native race by the Tartars which
has, by compelling combinations for the
restoration of the Chinese sovereignty,
necessitatiDg meanwhile leagues for
protection, given prominence to the
secret societies. 1t is not unreasonable
to believe that in the recent massacre
the WI Wei Keiou were prompted both
by religious hatred OF the missionaries,
and by the notion that the complica.
tions with foreign governments growing
out of it would hasten the downfall of
the dynasty.-N York Observer.

SEPTE MBER.

My life's long radiant summer halts at last;
And lol beside my pathway behold
Pursuing autumn glide; nor frost nor cold
Has heralded her presence, but vast
Sweet calm that comes not till the year has past
It's fevered solstiee. and tinge OF gold
Subdues the vivid colorings of the bold
And passion-hued emotions. Twin cast
My August days behind me with my May,
Nor strive TO drag them into autumn's place.
Nor swear l hope. when do but remember.
Now violet and rose have had their day.
'npluek the soberer asters with good grace.
And call September nothing but September.

We, too, have our graves; we, too, had
our heroes! All, all are comrades now
upon the other side, where you and l
muet shortly join them; blessed. thrice
blessed we who have lived to see fulfilled
the psalmist's prophecy of peace:
peace In the quiet dales.
Made rankly fertile by the blood Of men;
Peace in the woodland and the lonely glen.
Peace In the peopled wales.
peace in the crowded town.
Peace In thousand fields of waving grain;
Peace in the highway and the fiow'ry lane,
Peace DER the wind-swept down.
Peace on the whirrlng marts,
Peace where the scholar thinks, the hunter
roams,
Peace. God of peace. peace, peace in all our
homes,
And all our hearts!,
RILEY's HYMN OF PEACE.
James Whitcomb Riley was then
called on for poem. He prefaced
it by saying:
In attempting any answer to the invi.
tation to prepare fitting poem for an
occasion so memorable in our history as
the present, the writer has felt that he
could only trust to the long prior in
SEPARATION of another-that inspiration
evoked by the alas!-exact oppo
site of the sectional feelings and condi-
tions of today. Then, high above the
havoc Of civil war. rang out THE Battle
Hymn of the Republic" Now, in faint
est echo, yet most graceful fervor, is
offered:
Peace Hymn of the Republic.
There's a voice across the nation like a mighty
ocean-tall,
Borne up from out the southwark as the seas
before the gale;
Its breath is in the streaming flag and in the
flying sail
AS we go sailing on.
IT'S voice that we emember-ere its summons
soothed as now
When it rang in battl- challenge, and we an
swered VOW with vow
With roar of gun and hiss of sword and crash Of
prov with PROV
AS we went sailing on.
Our hope sank even as we saw the sun sink,
faint and far
The ship of state went cropping through the
binding smoke of war;
Through blacklist midnight lurching, all I'M
cheered of moon or star
Yet saing-sailing on.
AS one who spake the dead awake. with life
blood leaping warm,
Who walked the troubled waters, all unscathed,
In mortal form,
We felt our Pilots presence, with his hand up
on the storm
AS we went sailing on.
o voice of passion lulled to peace, this dawning
of today
O voices twain now blent as one, ye sing all
fears away;
Since foe and foe are friends, and LOT the Lord
as glad as they
He sends us sailing on.
