Yes, kiss me, beloved;

Away from your touch,
If you kiss overmuch.

But my hayward soul
Takes wings fleet and strong
II you hold me too long.
All, kiss me, Beloved!

Rural China,

On every side white homesteads are
scattered, each in its setting of giant
bamboo shoots. When you have realized
the fact that each of these little lusters
Of lime washed cottages represents the
home of fathers, sons, grandsons and all
their female belongings, you will begin
to appreciate the density of the popula-
tion. In front of every farm stand yell
low straw stacks raised ON wooden legs,
and under each a tiny red COW ruminates
or else dull, hairy water buffalo,
stupidity wondering whether mouthful
of straw snatched from above will repay
the trouble of balancing on his hind legs
The general effect is most homelike
and pleasant. 1t must be added that
closer inspection of one of these farms
does not prove SO satisfactory. Round
about the ground is strewed with litter
and broken earthenware, while the
drainage from the cattle sheds forms
puddles on the roadway. The plaster has
fallen in flakes from the walls The gay
lanterns and gaudy texts in red and
black that adorn the entrance only ac-
centuate the dismal untidiness Nor is
the semicirrular fish tank, half full of
stagnant water, pleasing either to eyes
or nose.

tween it and the house, bring out

His servant answered, "Yonder church,

The priest where he sat striving men,
The wounded healed, the orphan clad,
The widow S tears wiped off, the poor
Fed from another's little store
And then he guessed the saint who died
Last night, Fra Leo, vigil pale,
Painting the wings of heaven, Christ's bride
New wed, beneath her shadowy veil;
The gray cross in the market place.
With children playing at its base.
He guessed most things of earth and heaven,
The convent garden and the doves;
The western sky aflame at even,
The mountains and the orange groves
The sea that moaned alway and prayed,
And yet the Lord God shook his head.
He said: 'Lo, in thy city see
A wife and husband full of love,
Whose lives in loving harmony
Are set all death and change above.
l see, and leaning from my place,
bless them in their hidden grace.
Whose love and peace and sweet accord
Comfort me greatly" said the Lord.

ordered the name changed to Boston.
This was the name of city in England,
