Not a leaf on the poplar tree,
Not a flower on the heather.
Mountain Rose looked shyly at me
AS we stepped out together.
Mountain Rose, so airy and free,
Where are roses blowing2
Roses cheek, half turned from me,
The rose of love was showing.

Winter comes in fairly.

When the late Earl of I'd was a
youth, he was passionately fond Of play
and never Better pleased than with
having Mr.. Nash for his antagonist.
Nash saw with concern his lordship's
foible and undertook to cure him,
though by a very disagreeable remedy.
Conscious Of his own superior skill he
determined to engage him in single play
for a very considerable sum. His lord
ship, in proportion as he lost his game,
lost his temper, too, and as he ap-
preached the gulf seemed still more
eager for ruin.
He lost his estate. Some writings
were put into the winners possession.
His very equipage was offered as a last
stake, and he lost that also. But when
generous gamester had found his
lordship sufficiently punished for his
temerity he returned all, only stipulat-
ing that he should be paid e5, 900
whenever he should think proper to
make the demand. However, he neve
made any such demand during his lord
ships lifetime, but some time after his
decease, Mr.. Nash's affairs being in
(sic) the wane, he demanded the money
of his lordship's heirs, who h~onorably
paid it without any hesitation. His

The Siamese spend t~hree-fourths Of
their existence in the water. Their first
net on awakening is to battle. They
battle at II o'clock, again at 8 and
again at sunset. There is scarcely an
hour in the day when bathers may not
be seen in all the creeks, even the shall
lowest and muddiest. Boys go to play
In the river just as our children go to
play in the street. A traveller tells of a
Siamese woman sitting on the lowest
step of a landing place, while, by a
girdle, she held in the water her infant
of a few months. Were not the Siamese
expert swimmers many lives would be
lost, for the tide flows SO swiftly that
it requires the greatest skill and care to
prevent boats from running foul of one
another.
A story is told of an English boat
running down a small native canoe
containing a woman and two children.
In an instant they all disappeared. The
Englishmen were on the point of jump
ing to their rescue when they bobbed
up, and the woman, upon recovering
her breath, poured forth a volley Of
abuse. Having thus relieved her mind,
she righted her canoe, ladled out some
of the water and bundled in the chill
dren who had been composedly swim
ming around her, regarding with min
gled fear and curiosity the barbarians
who had caused the mishap.

A LOVE SONG.

The lowers are lifting their heads:
They wait for the sound of thy coming feet,
And. smiling, stretch forth from their beds
Come into thy garden, my dear, my love,
And bark to the birds merry lays.
The golden sun shines in the blue skies above.
And the humming bees join in thy praise.

LOVES WISDOM.

I have seen what the seraphs have seen
As they gaze through the limitless air,
Through the wind and the clouds to the lean
Pale face of the moon and the bare
Bright flame of the sun. Unaware
l have seen what the seraphs have seen.
Through the limitless spaces Of air
TIL brave mists that waiver and wane
Are pallid and patient and fair.
! have fathomed the pride and the pain
OF the SHOWS and compassionate rain
Through the limitless spaces of air.
l have known them-the brave mists that wane
And the glory and peace Of the skies
Where all strife and Impotence are vain
And a-hush are all passionate signs,
For l gazed in the deep of loves eyes,
And | know what no seraphs shall gain.

She stopped her head and her warm
lips pressed a grateful kiss on his earth

He told her mother about it, his eyes
roaming restlessly about the parlor of
Bessie's home.
On Sunday Bessie went to church and
wore her big lace hat and sat beside her
mother.
Ben was on the opposite side of the
aisle and farther down the church, but
he could have looked at her if he had
wished. He never once turned his head
and Bessie watched him. even at
prayers.
When the service was over, he stood
up, head and shoulders above every one,
and it appeared to Bessie his eyes were
certainly on the door.
He raised his hat and passed on, hold
ing his head high-an unconscious di-
plomatist. Presently she saw him strid-

At Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle of a Greek population with
it's own church settled down on the
coast of Corsica. Our inn is kept by a
Greek from Corfu, as his name, Cor
fotti, tells us and as the ~loquacity Of
his wife would lead us to infer; for at
Cargese the Corsican taciturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love of talk,
Rather more than two centuries ago a
Greek settlement was founded in Cor
sica under the auspices of the Genoese
republic, to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
came into possession of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles, who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Cargese
and built them the church which they
have e since cherished.
Intermarriages between the ~colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as tine f~ustanella.
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece, in
spite of centuries of barbarian inroads
and Turkish oppression, the Greek type
is sure to remain at Cargese to remind
the traveller of its eternal youth and its
unfailing characteristics -Westmins-

The Sea Gull and the Fisherman,
In the fishing village of Auchmithie
(the Musselcraig of Scott's "Anti-
quary'') you may frequently witness
sea gulls flying into the houses of the
fishermen and partaking of food from
their hands. One of these sea birds was
in the habit of staying in a fisherman
house all the year round except at the
breeding season, when it left. Quite re-
Gently, while the gull was away, the
fisherman removed his home from
Auohmithie to Arbroath (the Fairport
of Scott's "Antiquary''), distant some
81 miles from the former place, taking
up his residence in South street of Ar
breath. The fisherman never expected
to see his old friend the gull again. 1t
was therefore much to his establishment
that be beheld a fortnight later the sea
bird come walking into his new resi-
dence with stately steps to resume his
old familiarities and household ways
with his housekeeper London Lady.

RESCUE HOME WORK.

Uncharitable persons may be eX-
pected TO see more than a coincidence
in the fact that the bitterest opposition
to the Rescue home should come from
women. The most recent attack on it
is by a woman who says her boy is in
danger of temptation as long as the
institution remains in his neighbor-
hood
Without any comment on the kind of
youth who would be affected by the
contiguity of a reform establishment,
one may safely say that he needs a
liberal dose of Single properly ap-
piled; and the Rescue home would get
as much benefit by removal from his
presence as by staying anywhere near
him.
The Rescue home is doing a great
work among unfortunate women. 1t
offers a retreat from the temptations,
the intolerable shame, the inhumanity
Of the world. such as can be supplied
by no other means. The good women
who are carrying on this work devote
their time, their sympathy and their
means to it under conditions of the
most disheartening kind. They are
entitled to the sympathy and the prac-
teal support of every man and woman
who has a spark of Christian charity
in their hearts. Instead of being an
noyed and prosecuted by the criticism
Of selfish complainants, they deserve

to the secretary of war:
l. That the medical department was
using its best efforts for sanitation
against typhoid and yellow fever.
>. That the food and medical supplies
were wholly inadequate to the work

3. That yellow fever, being "a filth

army that it should break out in any

He asked an immediate investigation
to determine who was responsible for
the failure of medical supplies to reach
the several commands, for the delays
in the construction of necessary hos

of much Of the food still furnished, and
for the lack of trained nurses to look
after the men.

coat of whitewash. If any action has
been taken there is no evidence of it

HISTORIC CITIES OF ROME.
II. ROME.
BY DANA c. MUNRO, a. NJ

Three cities have been of especial i'm
portance for the history of the Chris
ton world. Jerusalem was the source
of our religion. Athens was the first
great western center of art and lit
erature and philosophy. Without the
contributions which have come TO us
from Jerusalem and Athens, life would
be barren indeed. What right has
Rome to be classed with these two
cities?
At first it might seem that l,ome's
contributions had been small If cen
trasted with those of Athens and Je-
rusalem. But a closer study reveals the
imperial magnificence of Rome's gift to
us. For, aside from her own contribu-
lions, which We're by no means sr.1ll,
she furnished the institutions and the
forms Of government which have made
it possible - preserve and u hand
on to generations unborn the heritage
of Jerusalem and Athens. Rome was
the strong right arm which spread the
Greek culture and the Christian reli-
gion over the whole world which she
civilized. Where the Roman con-
quered he dwelt," and where he dwelt
he carried with him the benefits of
peace, order, civilization and religion.
The history of the Christian world
for fifteen centuries can be, and has
been, fifty studied from Rome as a CEN
ter. No other city has ever held so

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

National holidays are losing much OF
their old-fashioned fermaiity and rou-
tine exertion, and becoming more and
more days OF relaxation and enjoyment.
There was a time when the Fourth
Of July and Memorial day We're sea-
sons of oratory, street parades and
gatherings no less remarkable for the
intensity Of their patriotism than for
the patience and perspiration which
distinguished them. But the change is
taking place. It is more noticeable in
Sunday, perhaps. than in any other
day. 1t is losing the stiffness that
used 10 characterize it. The complex,
artificial and strained observance OF
such days is vanishing with the intel
lectuaI development of the race.
If there has ever been time since
the birth of the republic when its an
niversary was not celebrated with noise
and smoke, history contains no record
of the fact. But if the boys and girls
of America like a racket which reminds
them Of war. if the grown-up patriots
of the nation desire TO smell powder
once a year. give them their liberty.
else the celebration be a travesty upon
independence. But the old style of uni
formed men and women riding or
marching over dusty roads, trying 10
look prim and proper. and the hard
working populace, which hadn't any
higher conception of liberty than to sit
on hard benches and listen to spread
eagle speeches on the glory Of war and
the tyr. Any OF the mother country, are
passing.
While the day is observed, and it will
be so long as the republic lives. there
will be patriotic speeches and demon
strations. There should be. But ap-
peals 20 prejudice and passion are out
of date. The Anglo-Saxon peoples I'M
derstand each other at last. All at
tempts 20 arouse antagOnism viii
henceforth be regarded as demagogy-
1t can no longer pass as devotion to
the flag. And men viii be left TO enjoy
the day as they please If oratory in
terests them they may always have
their fill. If they want to go fishing.
or swimming or wheeling, or boating
there is none 10 question their patriot
ism for the choice.
This is independence day. 1t should
be a day OF independence.
