The charming sylvan sanctuary nestles peacefully nmeiig the pines, of which the poet has often sung be sweetly, and is within a short distance of the iiltle cettage :tt "Copse Hill" (the Rydal Mount of the south), where the famous poet lived nnd died. The visitor is deeply impressed by the restful and holy calm which pervades the bcone, nnd one feels that the name of this woodland sin Ine, "The Heavenly Rest," was sug gested by nn Inspiration. A small but highly intelligent and re fined congiegatien new assembly here for worship, twice every Sunday and twice duting llie week. The venerable and universally beloved widow of the poet, and her brilliant beu, nre communicants and regular attendants. The presence of Mrs. Ilayne nnd her son nt tlie open ing cAeiclses added greatly te the im pi essiveness of the occasion. The world knows that the home life of the poet and his family was an idyl of love and con tentment, a communion of exquisitely refined and delicate beuls. In his home the poet found tin unfailing spring for his purest inspirations, his loftiest poetie ideals, The musie and beauty of his lersnene their richest charms te the beauty and the harmony which made this lowly and lonely cettage among the pines of Georgia the tcrrestial ante chamber of P.itadisu. In an eleipient dUcourse the reverend Seaker feimally announced the name and put pose of the building, as follews: "The Church of the Heavenly Rest is built te Ihogleiy of Ged iu memory of Paul Ilamitlen Hnyue, n man beloved, honored, leveled by all who knew him a man uhuse gracious iulluence is net Km ml in te this land, but hasctessed the bwelliug waters of a great ocean and been etent iu feteign lands; above, beyond nil, n ninn whose influence, whether expressed in life or uttered iu sweet notes, was te the glory of Ged. Such iulluence can never die. Today his spit it lives in the Church of the Heavenly Rest. "Iu w hese still heights and most ethereal chlme lieuiity, nml faith, nuil plastle os.iieii meet. "Of all memorials that will ever be reatedtehim in sculptured marble, or polished brass, or piiuted book, nene will be se dear te his purified heart as this, because it is icaied in and for tlie glory of his Leid nnd Saviour Jesus Christ. Here the pines and hills made sacred by his songs nre made mero bacrcd by the pieseuce of a church iu his memory, built uikjii the foundation of Jcbtis Chiist and his Apostles totheglory of Ged." The church is bituatcd nt n prominent jieint near the railway btatien, and is the meet conspicuous etunmeut of the pretlj wUage, which takes pride in the fact that within its prccints aie found famous "Cepse Hill," us well as the poet's monument, though his dust bleeps iu the cemetery at Augusta. The ladies of Grovetown are continu ing their labors endeavoring te becttre nu organ for the chapel nnd te Etill far ther decerate it. Ne doubt they will continue te receive, ns heretofore, bub btantial tokens of affection and esteem fiem tliose who value tlie memory of enu w lie, us a man uud n Christian, was the embodiment of our ideal of a perfect manhood, nud whose genius has in creased the lustcref American literature. It is nUe proposed te place a "memo rial window," us a special token of honor, abue the altar, and en which Mr. Hayne's trausiendently beautiful nnd pathetic jiecm, "Face te Face," pub lished shortly befere his death in liar pet's Magazine, bhall le ideally repro repre beuted iu the designs. It is te be heed that this plan will be consummated. Imagine the biinslilne btrtamiug, In mellowed glory, through the rich, pris niatii) panes, irradiating each beparate design with "the light that necr was en beaer laud," until the spiritual splendor, the divine soul of the poem, blending with the bimbcatus into ene iuclTnble Heed of heavenly glory, fall like a vis ible benediction of Ged upeu altar and eeple, causing eery face te shiue as the face of Moses shone, descending Sinai's btcep, after his interview with Jehovah, nud transforming the little woodland sanctuary into a temple, quiv ering nnd Hashing with pentccestal lire. Let it lie lemembered, loe, that the poet wrote this jkhiu aKuuily "face le face" with Heath, gazing mle his "un veiled" face only te find in it "the light tlut is love." It is, vit jually, the dying testimony- of the )eet te the divine power of Christian faith. It is Hie victory bong of Lifoeier Death; it is the coronation nnthem of immertalitv. anm ?57!Hnnfv'QnnnxRnnK THE GAME OF SEEGA. tt Cemes from EsTTpt, nnd Is Described s Clever nnd Entertaining. While in camp at the monastery of 8t Catherine, Mount Sinai, I observed Bedouins and Egyptians playing with black and white pebbles In the rand a game which proves te be clever and entertain hig, says a writer lu The Londen Field. They call the game "See ga," and the pebble or men "kelb;" thej" plated in boles In the sand, but It can be plaj nl as well en a common beard ruled with 25, 49 or 81 squares. An ordinary draught oeard and men will answer verv well. e e e e e e e e 6 e e e . fl . B C D E DiAOiiAsi or Tnn noAne. Scoga requires a field of 25 squares, S en each side, and 'H kclbs, 12 of each color; but It can also be played en a beard of i'i squares with 43 men, or of 81 squares and 80 men, but the latter makes the game of tedious length. It Is played by two iiersens alter nately, nud comprises two parts first, the placing of the men or kelb3, nnd secondly, moving Iho tame. It is begun by the first player placing In the field two kclbs, cither en adjoining or fur separated squares, as he cheeses. 'Iho second player lajs down two kclbs In like manner, and this is continued alternately until nil have been placed en the beard, taking care, however, te leave the center square unoccupied. Then the first player moves ene of his kclbs backward, ferwanl, or sideways, but never diagonally. Obviously, the llrst meve must be into (he middle square of the Held. Each player tries te move se as te catch ene of his adversary's Leila between two of his own kclbs In horizontal or in perpendicular Hues, net in a diagonal. A kelb se caught is re moved from the field. If, however, lu mov ing, ene plnycr places his own kelb between two of his opponent's, he suffers no less; tha position must be forced by the epimncut. If the player, liavlng captured oue of his adver sary's kclbs, can meve the same kelb se as te place a second or n third hi Jeopardy, he has n right te de se. Should ene player become blocked und unnble te nunc, tliu ether cither continues moving until he e)cns a way for the llrbt, or he has te remeve ene of his own kclbs from the Held, selecting oue that per mits the llrst player te meve. The gume U continued until ene or the ether player has lest all but oue of his kclbs. I subsequently feuud It expedient te add another rule, te wit! A player, having cup tured oue of his opponent's kelbs, cannot make a second movenftcr he has laid down the kelb captured, the object being te limit the tlme for making n possible bocend or third move.
