Tree Memories.

The woodland stretched its arms to me,
And mo its heart I went,
While by my side invisibly
Walked musing-eyed Content.
The woodland spake no words to me,
But, oh! its thoughts were sweet;
Against my spirit like a sea
felt the thought-waves beat.
Before ny vision starved and dull
The wood shapes dropped their gold;
The young child trees were beautiful
More beautiful the old.
Within their halls of memory
What heavenly scenes are drawn!
The stream, the wild birds compsny;
The sky's cool face at dawn.
The golden lances of the sun;
The rain that feels its way;
The twilight steps that one by one
Led to the moons white ray.
The multitude of bright leaves forms
Engraved on earth and air,
The black and gold of midnight storms;
The blue that yioiets wear.
These throng the greenwood memories;
Upon this perfumed track
The thoughts Of all the silent trees
Go wandering back and back.
This is the charm that cometh last,
or all their sweets the sum
The feeling of green summers past,
Aud fair green springs to come.
-Ethelwyn Wetherald.

When David went forth to combat
with the giant Goliath be was little
aware that in a future day and gen.
Grafton his exploit would furnish an
illustration of the merits OF DR..

disorders will often succumb to these
little PELLETS" which can and do re-
move the source of disease. Con.
stipation, an inactive liver and i'm
paired digestion win grow into seri-
Gus maladies if not conquered in
their earlier stages. The "Pellets'
will cure disordered liver, sick head

paiDEAUx's POVERTY.

John Prideaux, Bishop of Wor.
cester, the great tbeologian and COM
mentator, was originally very poor.
Before he applied himself TO learn.
ing, he stood candidate for the Office
OF parish clerk, and to his great NOR
LITIGATION was defeated. He then
went to Oxford, but such was bis
poverty that he was employed in
seryile offices in the kitchen of the
college for his support. He had
been often heard to say, that If he
had been elected parish clerk, he
should never have been bishop. He
was so far from being ashamed of
bis former poverty, that lie kept aud
treasured the leathern bre, ches
which be wore at Oxford as mem
oFial.

ANEoDorAl LITERATURE.
Gathered and Compiled by W. G.
AsoHAM's 0scHooIMAsrFR.p

AscHAM's "sCHooLMAsTER.'
An accident oceasioned Roger
Ascham to write his "Schoolmaster,"
one of the most curious and useful
treatises of our elder writers.
Ats dinner given by Sir William
Cecil, during the plague in 1868, at
his apartments at Windsor, where
the queen had taken refuge, num-
Der of literary men were invited.
Secretary Cecil communicated the
news of the morning,-that several
scholars at Elton had run away on
account Of their masters severity,
which he condemned as great err
ror In tho education OF youth. Sir
William Petre maintained the con-
trary, and warmly defended hard
Jogging. DIR. Wotten sided with
the secretary, and Sir James Mason,
adopting no side, bantered both.
Mr.. Haddon seconded the hard
hearted Petre, and maintained that
the best schoolmaster then in Eng.
land was the hardest logger. Then
was it that Roger Ascham indig.
nantly exclaimed, that if such a mas
ter had an able scholar, it was owing
to the boys genius, aad not to the
preceptor's rod. After dinner,when
Ascham went TO the queen to read,
Sir Richard Sackyille, who had been
silent listener to the discussion
took Ascham aside, endorsed his
views and remarked that he knew to
his cost, for it was the perpetual
fogging of such schoolmaster that
had given him an uncomfortable
aversion to study, and earnestly re.
quested and exhorted Aseham to
write out his observations on so in
teresting and important topic for
the benefit of the youth. Such was
the circumstance which produced
the admirable treatise Of Roger As
cham, "The Schoolmasler."
