LONDON. March 27.-The Man chester Guardian prints the follow ing description of the recent afraid over London as seen from a height, by a correspondent:
 "It was some time after the burst ing of the marcons that the first sound of the attack was heard. It came from the northeast, a series of quiet. separate noises-plot-plop -plop-plop-like porridge boiling The firing died down and started again from the north in the same gentle way. Then it became quicker, and then died away in soft, flannelly noises.
 Suddenly the firing burst again to the northwest and also to the south. and some nearer guns began to bark. Then there was activity in the west and we heard four or five harsh noises that we took to be bombs, accompanied by faster firing. The last movement was to the south and southeast, and the noise of the

WHAT SHE NEEDED.

Il don't know what to do about my

but kindly old physician for advice
She seems so listless, and does not
seem to have any interest in life, and
she is SO irritable at times. don't

and I want to know what you think
about my sending her to gymnasium

"No duties, no responsibilities, nc

"Then, madam" said the doctor,
frankly, "your daughter has no need
of gymnasium in which to spend her
pent-up energies. don't wonder that
she is irritable and unhappy"
What would you adviser" asked the
mother weakly.
II would advise you to make her
feel that she has part and a place
in your home life; that it's duties must
be borne by all the members of the
family in common, and that she must
do her part towards contributing to
the general comfort of the home. A
girl of her age, with no home duties,
no responsibilities, no interest in her

all his impressions favorable ones.
Yet, few weeks in the company of

We look for determination, will, de-
cision Of character, firmness in the
man, and refuse him our respect if he
have them not, but when the child
exhibits these qualities, even in their
incipient stages, we are annoyed and
perhaps repulsed. Instead Of rejoicing
in his strength of will and building it
into right channels, we lament it as
a grievous fault in him and a misfor-
tune to us. 1t is the meek and yield

THE ANGELuS.

AT dawn, the joyful peal of bells
In consecrated citadels,
] Filings on the sweet and drowsy air
A brief, melodious call to prayer;
For Mary, Virgin, meek and lowly,
Conceived of the Spirit Holy,
AS the Lords Angel did declare.
At noon, above the fretful street.
Our souls are lifted to repeat
The prayer, with low and wistful voice
According to Thy word and choice,
Though sorrowful and heavy-laden,
So be 1t done to Thy Handmaiden."
Then, all the sacred bells rejoice.
At eve, with roses in the west,
The daylight's whitening bequest,
Ring, prayerful bells, while blossoms
bright
The stars, the lilies of the night;
OF all the songs the years have sung
us,
"The Word made Flesh has dwelt
among u.s."
Is still our ever-new delight.
In an exquisite poem, "Ecce Amelia
Domini," Jean e. U. Nealis pays
tribute to the Angelus:
The morning breaks, and the vapors
cling
Heavy and thick, over land and sea;
But sweet and clear are the bells
that ring
Their beautiful "Angelus Dominic"
Nearer and clearer, thro' mist and
rain,
o Angelus bells, your music thrills;
Till the clouds are lifted of care and
pain,
And we say, "Be it done, as the Mas
ter willis"
Ecce Amelia Domini
All night the tempest ragged loud and
high,
And the troubled waves, with crash
and roar,
Still sob out their sorrow remorse.

The Chapel of my childhood

And in the long grass up the hill
The graves of them that's died.

When I was young and small,

The stations on the vail.
Each, evening in the Maytime
The Rosary we'd say;
You'd hear beyant the Chapel wall
The corncrakes in the hay.
The flowers round the altar,
They made the air smell sweet,
And cool the Chapel floor would be
To little childers' feet.

But there I'd be awhile;

Went pattering up the aisle.
