THE HILLS OF GOD.

we journeyed through the lowland shad-
ows,
Through the dull, dull mist and rain;
Oh. chilling the fogs of the marshes
And the winds from the lonely plain!
And our hearts grow sick with longing
For the beautiful paths untrod,
For we know that away above us
Stretch the glad green Hills of God.
Our feet are chained to the valley,
We pillow and we sow and reap;
There are strifes and tolls for the noon
day,
And grave where at night we sleep.
But n something speaks within us:
Look away from the spade and the
clod
o soul, look up for thy birthright,
And away to the Hills of God!
'In the winds that sweep their SUBMITS
Is healing for all thy ills;
Up, up! till thou feel the current!
There is help, there is help in the hills
Let darkness and sore disaster
But sunder thee from the sod,
And know thou shalt thrive in the sunlight
That crowneth the Hills Of God"

Unfortunate Lady Lamb.

Many of Byron most charming and
tender verses are written to Lady Caro-
line Lamb, the novelist, whose life was
sadly interesting. She was married be-
fore thesAge of 90 to the Hon. William
Lamb and was long the favorite of
fashionable circles for her literary ac-
complishments, her personal attractive
ness and her grace. Upon meeting Lord
Byron she became the victim of an un-
fortunate infatuation for the poet which
continued three years and was the cause
of much comment. The poet is said to
have trifled with her feelings, and a
quarrel took place. For many years
Lady Caroline led life of comparative
seclusion at Brocket Hall. While rid
ing one day with Mr.. Lamb she met at
the park gates the hearse which was
conveying the remains of Lord Byron to
Newstead abbey. She was taken home

ner and habits changed, and three years
before her death a separation took place
between her and her husband, who,
however, visited her frequently and cor
responded with her. A romantic suscep-
tibility of temperament seems to have
been the misfortune of this lady. This
fact illustrates the wisdom of Thomp-
sons advice:
Then keep each passion, however dear.

Nervousness.

This term WAS first used by minis
ter of state who affected to ridicule the
warnings of those who were constantly
drawing the attention of the two houses
of parliament to Russia's steady nd
vance toward India. The term was

proved that the alarmists We're correct,
and the said minister, so far as l re-
member, deprecated its being constant
ly brought up against him.
This word was coined by the Duke of
Argyll, who, in speech i'll the house
of lords, was deriding the we'll founded
apprehensions of those who feared that
the Russians would make themselves
masters of Merry, in Turkistan. They
took it in 1884. -Notes and Queries.

AN INDIANS TROUBLES.

A melancholy illustration of the evil
influences of civilization on minds not
prepared to receive its teachings was
furnished in Kansas recently when
four Pawnee chiefs applied to the
United States court for divorces from
their wives on grounds previously I'M
known in the history of the red man.
The grounds of complaint were var
iouS but Que of the strongest cases
was that made out by a brave named
Pipe Chief, who avowed that his con-
jugal helpmeet, who can no longer be
called a squaw. wanted to spend all of
his money on fine dresses and refused
to associate with sQuawS who were
not in her set.
Mrs Pipe Chief undoubtedly rep
resents Il higher type of civilization
than her husband does, but it is one
that is full of danger to her race. The
vision of Mrs. Pipe Chief with the Gus
tomery hearse-plum hat and Russian
blouse of the pale face is indeed at
tractive and her assertion of superb
GRITTY in cutting all squaws who are
not in her set is an imitition of our
social conditions which is sincere in
its fiattery, but it will not do among
the Pawnees. These things will drive
the red man to drink-as they do the
white man.-EX.
