rHE VOICE OF The SEA.

FhAs spake to Man the thousand-throated
Sea:
Words which the stealing winds caught
from it's lips:
Thou thinkest thee and thine Gods top
most crown,
But hearken unto me and humbly learn
How infinite thine insignificance
Thou burrow'st through a mountain, here
and there,
Work'st all thine engines, cutting off a
speck;
I wash their rock-foundations under; tear
Turret from turret, topping laundering
And crush their mightiest fragments into
sand;
Thou gravest with thy records slab and
spar,
And callest them memorials of thy Might
10, not stone exists, from that black cliff
To that small pebble at thy foot but bears
MY signature graved there when Earth
was young,
70 teach the mighty wonders of the Deep.
Thy deeds-thyseif-are what? A morning
But 1! face the ages. Dost not know
That as l gave the Earth to spread her fair
Ard dew-washed body in the morning
light,
So, still, It's that keep her fair and fresh?
That weave her robes and nightly diamond
fill her odorous bowers with perfumes
rare;
Etrew field and forest with bee-haunted
stars;
l give the Morn pearl for her radiant roof,
And Eve lend glory for her rosy dome;
Z build the purple towers that hold the
West
And guard the passage of Retiring
Yon heecy continents of floating snow.
That dwarf the mountains over which they
sail,
Are but my bales borne by my messengers,
To cheer and gladden. every thirsty land
The Arab by his palmgirt desert pool,
The Laplander above his frozen rill,
The WOOdsman cOuched beside his forest
brook,
The shepherd mirrored in his upland spring,
Drink of my cup in one great brotherhood.
IT'S, nay, not man alOne-thou art but one
OF all the myriads of life-holding thing
Brute, beast. bird, reptile, insect thing
unnamed,
Whose souls find recreation in my breath;
Nay, not a tree, flower, sprig of grass or
weed,
But lives through me and hymns my praise
to God:
feed, sustain, refresh and keep them all:

Hey drowsy babe to sleep upon her

A QUARRELsoME PEOPLE.
This Seems to Show That Our Ancer-

Fight.

A study of medieval rural life is apt
to give the impression that the prin-
cipal part of the life of the people was
spent in quarreling CIR in the commiS-
sion of prosecution of offenses, says a
writer in Lippincott's. Our ancestors
certainly were a very licentious and a
very disorderly people. The records

en- drawing knives against one an

prosecuting one another for SANDER.

ITS WELCOME WORM OUT.
A Christmas Present That Was on
Display Until It's Donor Had
Made Her Call.

Some one had said that there are
three kinds of decorations for rooms
useful beautiful and presents
This was followed by some one else
wishing that persons wouldn't mark
the things they gave, so that they
might be passed on. Then the tailor
made woman in gray spoke, relates
the New York Tribune:
you all know Mrs. Firstly, the
Rev. DR.. Firstly's wife? She's a per-
feet dear, and as straightforward as
a steel rail. She hates deceit and
undetermined business, but not long
ago 1 caught her in little piece of
double dealing that sent her stock
up ten points in my estimation. You
know she has the best taste in every
thing, and an embroidered piano
cover gives her a headache, she says.
I went with her to the Simpkinses
once-you are all familiar with their
peculiar ideas on decOration-and
she never spoke an intelligent word
while we were there. Once outside,
she clutched my arm. did you see
that bunch of imitation yellow
paper roses in the imitation cut
glass bowl?' she gasped. Well, about
two weeks after Christmas l dropped
in on her one afternoon. She was
receiving a call from Mrs. Dollarby
and her eldest daughter, Mary. They
belong to DR.. Firstly's church. Dol
larby owns a boot and shoe factory
of his own now, and is influential.
AS 1 sat waiting and gazing around
my eyes were struck dim to see
hanging over one corner of that
beautiful marine in the library
pink canvas bag embroidered with
brown silk daisies and filled with
milkweed pods. Mrs. Firstly caught
my look and bit her lip. The Dol
larbys rose to go and she accom-
panied them to the front door. I
heard it close with a bang, and al
most simultaneously Mrs. Firstly
rushed madly into the library,
snatched the canvas thing off the pic
ture and hurled it forcibly under the
divan.
There, she said, thank heaven
it's over! They gave it to me for
Christmas present, and I've been
waiting for them to call for two
weeks

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The Christian missionaries in japan
number 692.
In 1877 there were high schools for
1926 German pupils in Hungary. To
day all these schools have ceased to
exist.
A school-teacher in Newark, n. j.,
received the other day the following
letter from the father of pupil: Dear
Teacher: Please don't teach Johnny
any more about his insides. 1t makes
him sassy" 1t seems that Johnny had
become critical concerning the family
bill of fare.
An interesting new educational nsti-
tuition has just been opened in New

is exclusively for the education of the
cathedral choristers, who in considera-
ton of their singing receive free gen

There have been 25S popes from st.
Peter to Leo Kill, inclusive. One of
them, Adrian " 1154), was an Eng
lishman, Nicholas Breakesbeare, who
was born beggar, but lived to crown
the German Emperor Barbarossa, and
died the most powerful potentate on
earth. Six have been Germans. Near
ly all the rest have been Italians.

Notes and Queries. Thus it has come
to mean being in the popular current,
either in opinion, speculation, or fash

phrase was suggested to anglers by the
eastern metaphor: "To swim in gold
en- lard" meaning to be prosperous;
"And, gentle, 81, when you do come to
swim in golden lard" (B. Jonson, The
Fox 1 i).
Webster gives it as colloquial, aud
says the meaning is ''to be in a favored
position; to be associated with others
in active affairs" The Imperial die

same way, and describes "the swim" al
"the current of social or business

CHAPTER XIV

SIEGE OF THE SACRED MOUNTAIN
Now my passage across the great
continent of Atlantis, if tedious and
haunted by many dangers, need not be
recounted in detail here. After some
days passed the black forest and the
country from there onward had at one
time carried q sturdy population
Which acid its own firmly, and, as its
numbers grew, took in more ground,
and built more homesteads farther
afeld. The houses were perched in
trees for the most part, as there they
were out of reach of cave-bear and
cave~tiger and the other more danger
our beasts. But others, and these
wero the better ones, were built on the
ground, of logs so pOnderous and so
firmly clamped and dove-tailed that the
beasts could not pull them down; and
once inside house of this fashion its
owners were safe, and could prOgue at
any attackers through the interstices
between the logs, and often wound,
sometimes make kill.
Bat not one in ten of these OUTLYING
settlers remained. The houses were 81

and the patch of vegetables taken
back by the greedy fingers of the forest
into mere scrub and jungle. And
farther on, when villages began to APP

to ward off the attacks of beasts, the
logs which aforetime had barred the
gateway lay strewn in sprouting un-
del growth, and naught but the kitchen
middens remained to prove that once
they had sheltered human tenants.
Phorenice's influence seemed to have
spread as though it were some horrid
blight over the whole face of what wa s
once smiling and an easy-Iiving land.
At last found myself within half

An army was investing the Sacred

most narrowly guarded. Even after
having journeyed so far, it seemed as
if should have to sit hopelessly down
without being able to carry out the or
ders which had been laid upon me by
the high council, and earn the reward
which had been promised. Force
would be useless here. I should have
one good 6ght-a gorgeous fight-one
man against an army, and my useful
ness would be ended. No; this was
the occasion for guile, and I found
covert in the outskirts of wood, and
lay there cudgeling my brain for q
plan.
IN that covert of the woods lay a
day and a night ging with myself for
not discovering some plan to get with
