NIGHT IN THE PASTURES.

The night wind steals from the tran
quill hills.
And its noiseless footsteps pass
Ger the dim, hushed breadths of the
pasture fields.
And the dew-wet, trampled grass:
The stars are thick in the velvet sky
Where a white young moon shines
clear
Through the airy boughs of the pop
lars tail,
And the peace of night is here.
The brooks soft gurgle is sweet and
low,
And the sorrowful whip-poor-wills
Are grieving afar in the purple gloom
OF the night, encircling hills;
And faint, weird murmurs of elfin
things
Through the shadowy pine trees
creep,
But the air is sweet with the hush of
dreams,
And the fields have gone to sleep.
The placid cattle have laid them down
At the roots of the mystic frs,
And the sheep in the lowland are
dimly white
Where the wind in the bracken stirs.
The hills are chanting solemn hymn
At the altar of star and sky;
In a rapturous silence, dim-lit calm,
The dewy pastures lie.
Here, in these meadows Of starry rest,
In these mysteries of the night,
The manifold voices of Nature
brathee
With meaning of strange delight.
The passionless calm of the dreaming
fields
Has the power of holy prayer,
And the infinite love of the far dim
hills
Shuts out every thought of care.

O'Connell used to relate a good
story of his first visit to Canterbury
cathedral, which was the scene of a
Catholic pilgrimage recently. He
inquired from the verger the exact
spot OF the death of Thomas A.
Beckett and then knelt down rever.
emily and kissed it. The verger in
terror told O'Connell that the dean
would instantly dismiss him If he
were to allow Popish work like that
O'Connell asked him his fee for show.

The island of Hokkaido is one OF
Japan's most valuable properties. It's
mineral production largely coaD in
creased from $1,280,0O0 in 1895 to
nearly 100000 in 1907, and this is
with only very small part of its
mineral field exploited. In order as
named, the leading minerals are coal,
sulphur, gold, silver and manganese.
The coal is superior to that of other
districts in Japan. Many ships from
the Pacific coast to the United States
call at the port of Muroran for coal.
This is the foundation for the great
Muroran iron and steel industry, now
being formed by British and Japan
csc capitalists. In four mines in this
locality the underlying coal is esti.
mated at 100000 tons.

He was assisted in looking after the entertainment of his guests by Misses Irma Hamby and Lyda Marsh, which is proof enough that everyone was highly enter tained. Games of various kinds were engaged in, ut the feature of the evening was the alphabet game, consisting of a series of questions in Geography. Saxon Began was the lucky contestant.
 Punch was served throughout the evening. with Miss Lyda Marsh presiding at the bowl.
 Dainty refreshments consisting of cream and cake were served on the lawn, after which the guests reluctantly departed. for everyone enjoys himself when Leonard entertains.

It would be like dynamite under t h e saloon i f where he is, the minister would begin active work against it; if, where he is, the teacher would faithfully teach the pupils the truths laid down in the Physio- logys as required by law; if. just where he is, the voter would dedicate his ballot to the move- ment, and so on, through the shining ranks of the great pow CTS that make for righteousness, from father and mother to kim dergarten toddlers, if each this day were doing what each could do, just where he is.

HAS WON LIS WAY.

There is nothing so convincing to the people as to be dead in earnest. Three years ago. when Clarence Bennett first produced his great and successful play, the Holy City," ministers were inclined to doubt the propriety or morality of a Bible play on so sacred a subject, some going so far as to brand it, unheard, as i sacrilege. But on the authors earnest invitation to visit it, their denunciations were turned to praise, and they have become it's highest eulogists. and often so- licit and advise their parishioners to see the play, declaring it the most vivid and life-like lessons on the life and times of John the Baptist and our Savior that has ever been presented in t h i s country. It is not a tiresome, long drawn uot sermon, but a great play, telling real beauti- heart story. These is no man and woman so depraved but that will bow their head in reverence, when he hears his tiny child lisp. Now l lay me down to sleep" So it is with this beautiful play. While it does not contain one laugh. the lightest and mos t frivolous or the most hardened and sinful are held entranced and spell-bound. It COMMANDS reverance, it does not ask it. It's earnest realism thrills us wheth- CT we will or not.

Some years ago Gen. Grant made the remark that he would fight it out along this line if it takes all summer. History is bound to repeat, and this time the repeater is found in Arkan- sas, with George w. Donaghey, backing the Arkansas railroad commission, as the one to utter the strenuous words. The rail. roads of Arkansas are to be the victims. Yesterday afternoon the Arkansas Railroad Commis sion, with the attorneys who rep. resente the State in St. Paul, Donaghey and a number of ship. pers, met in the rooms of the railroad commission to decide on what course to pursue in the fut- ure. They simply decided to fight to the bitter end, and the ship pers to provide the means, but the manner of making the fight was not gone into sufficiently for a decision to be reached.
