Unseen tears are like a river,
> Springing from the mountain high;
Gliding noiseless-flowing over—
Hidden from tho gazing eyo;
Ifono may mark tho tear-drop starling
’ From affliction's bitter smart—
'None may heed the hopo departing,
From tho broken, bleeding heart.
When alone, In silent sadness,
Comes tho heart-felt gushing tear,
Quenching every ray, of gladness—
Quickening every anxious fear;
Then, Indeed, wo feel (ho sorrow,
Bursting from n soul of woe—
iStfadow of the gloomy morrow,
Growing darker.aa wo go.
JJpart-folt anguish is retiring
‘ ‘ From tho world’s unhallowed cyoi
Solitude to grief’s inspiring,
...Freeing ever}’ struggling sigh.
Thus the spirit boars tho winging
Sorrow brings in dreary tone,
While our ceaseless cares are bringing
Countless tears, because alone.
s Tls within tho soul's recesses,
Deep and bidden from the view,
Where tho heart-pang closely presses.
Smiting every vital through,’
When raging flame of sorrow '
Boils' the caldron of tho heart,
Scalding tears will roach tho furrow.
And tho eyelids feel tiro smart.
Could wo sco tho inner weeping
Ofthe dark despairing soul,
Think you we’d neglect tho keeping,
Or iinhoud our brother’s call 7
But, alas I tho world Is tolling
Startling things of human woo,
While tun thousand hearts are dwelling
On the griefs but One can know.
I AM ROT M\m.
Yon fliihk I have a happy heart
Because a smile I wear,
But nono can toll the bitter grief
That’s daily gnawing there.
01 once I had a happy homo,
And friends and parcuts dean

And left mo wandering here.
But yet I would not wish (hem back.

But rather would 1 leave this earth,
And rise to moot them there.

Death soon will seal my fate \
Nor do I care how soon lie comes.
Nor mourn iio stays so late.
Nor .do I heed, though frowning wealth

A STOUT OP TWO PROOD HEARTS
CHAPTER I.
' A mild May morning, fresh and pleasant, and
bright; the soft air full of the songs of happy
birds; the wild flowers lifting up their heads
in.the sunshine; and the green leaves rustling
find waiving in tho Woods, as If they were whis
pering uccixts to Iho gcntlowind that stirred
thtiiu
It was a lovely day—a day to be happy in ;
and yet a saddened look was visible On the sweet
face of Faith Egcrlon, as she left the door of
her house and went slowly down the gravel walk
that led. to the road gate.
Her honfo—tho homo ,of her husband rind
children —was a pretty browii stonfi collage,
overhung with vines, and surrounded by beds
Of fragrant flowers. Behind the house was a
level and beautiful grove, in whoso cool recesses
sho had often Inin wlibn but a child, and watch*
Qd,lho flickering light and shadecomodown un
'on tho ground : for the earliest years of Faitn,
fls well ns these Hiller ones, had been spent in
this place, Here she had been born—hci'o
her kind mother had died—hero sho had lived
with a dear and only brother—hero sho had
Warned her first love, and hero her children
were springing up—tho old familiar scenes smi
ling in beauty around her.
Sho leaned upon the little gate, and Ictokcd
wistfully up iho road. • Sho was walling there
for the coming of her best and earliest friend,,
and the sound of wheels made her start, and
sent a color into her pnlo check that had long
been a stranger there. A dusty stage coach
camo whirling up beside tho gates—stopped
‘ long enough for a Indy to alight and give some
orders respecting her luggage and doshed away
again. Tho new comer did not sco Faith for a
fnoment, so screened was slm by tho branches

traveller lifted her veil, and exposed d broad,
high-forehead, shaded by silky masses of black
hair, a faoo well featured but grave and full of
thought, and deep, dark eyes, whoso glances
were kind and her smiles were beautiful
How strange a contrast between these two
women! the one fair-haired and sof myed, with
a meek and quiet face, on whoso features con
tentment and homo happiness were most plain
ly stamped; tho other dark and proud, and
Bclf-austaincd, with a look that Raid to tho most
careless observer, “ Oh, I have sudered!” To
one, life had been a fair summer’s day, with on
ly now and then a light and happy cloud; to
Ino other—nh! what to her but a bleak and
stormy winter, where everything sho loved
Withered and died 1 ;And yet they wero of tho
same ago, of tho samb station in llfo; and side
by sido they had sat at school, and played at
homo, ip tho childhood that lay behind them.
Tho tears- sprang, unbidden to tho eyes of
Faith Mgerlon, as sho saw the steadfast look
with which Her. visitor regarded tho Beene
nrouml her. Sho'lifted the latch of tho gate,
and slopped out bosido hor.
“ Gertrude—Gertrude Aloivynho—won’t you
apeak to mol” she said. ,
. "Faith, dear Fnilb, is it you ?”• said Ger
trude. ■ -,
They wore clasped in each other’s arms at
once. Faith wept bitterly, but Gertrude was
Talc and calm, and smoothed the fair Imlr of
btr friend with a caressing gesture, such as.
one might use to soothe a little child.,
Ooino, Faith,” she said at last,'as If weary

is some years since wo met,* dear Faith, and
they have not been marked with rose leaves for
me. You must not expect tp : find mo to bo
quite the same at twenty-five as at fifteen.—
Life changes us all you know.”
" I know,” said faith, sadly; “but I never
knew it so well till now.”
«• Well, wo will let that drop,’’said Gertrude.
“ And now arc you not going to ask me m, af
ter my long journey V!
“ Pray, forgive me,” said Faith, blushing at
her inattention. “ I will show you- to your
chamber myself. It has been ready for you
this week.”
They went up ibo walk together. Two fair
haired children ran out to tho door to meet them.
The yoiingtst,a boy of some two summers, held
up his'little hands to Miss Alcwynno with a
sunny smile. She stooped down and took him
in her arms, and walked along through the hall
willi Faith. __ *
“-Arc these your only children!”
(rude. \ .
“ Yes, and they arc (rouble enough for me,”
replied the mother, looking at the children with
a fond smile that betrayed how little the ’trou
ble’ was felt.
Gertrude sighed, and said brokenly, “ I don’t
know, Faith, why every one calls mo cold and
proud: perhaps I am. But .when I take a lit
tle innocent child in my arms, something stirs
in my heart that nothing elso con touch. I
might have been a belter and a happier woman,
Faith, if I had married.”
‘‘You knowwclUwhat my favorite plan al
ways was, Gertrude. If you Imd only married
my brother /’and this time it was
Faith sighed. *
“ OH, Faiih, spare mo!” was the half laugh
ing answer.
" But you wbu[d have lovfd him if you had
only seen him,” presisted Fnilh. “Ilelsso no
ble, so generous, so handsome !• He Is only my
half-brother, your know : but if lie had been
inv own I could not have loved him better.”
By this irnc they had reached the room
which had been fitted up for Gertrude. “ Why
you have made a Utile paradise forme,” she
said, wilh a pleased smile as she looked around
the chamber. “I shall never wont to leave
you. Faith.”
"If any pains of mino will keep yon lam
content,” replied Faith.
“ But, Faiih,” soid Miss Alewynnc, detaining
her friend ns she was about to,leave tho room,
“ I never knew before that your paragon was
only a half-brother. Your maiden name was
Faith Anderson; pray what was his*”
“ Walter Roscoo,” she replied, “ Ho was the
son of my step-mother. My own mother diet!
when I was very young.”
“ was his name?” The tone was sharp
and impatient, but the speaker's face was turn
ed away from Faith.
“ Walter Roscoo,” she repeated.' My boy
is named after him; "Walter Roscoo Egcrlon.”
The jeweled hand that had been playing with
the child’s soft ctivls was drawn away as sud
denly as if n serpent had slung it, and Ger
trude turned a while and rigid face towards
riicr friends, ns she put the boy down and point
ed to llic door.
“Gertrude, what ails you? Are yon III?”
cried Faith in terror. -She caught -thabcllTopo
in her hand, but Miss Alcwyuno grasped her
hand firmly. *
“Don’tring: I shall bo better soon/’she
said in a low voice. .• * And, Faith, for the sake
of tho old time when vro were school girls toge
ther say nothing of ioy illness to any one, and
ask mo no questions now. Leave me for a little
while and to-morrow I will tell you all/
.Wondering amt perplexed, Faith left the
room with her children, and went-down the
stairs- Her husband met her in the hall and
slopped to speak to her. * Has your friend ar
rived ?’be asked. •
* Yes, Alfred,’ she replied. * Have you seen
Walter ?*
* I went to liis ofllce, ns you requested me to,
my dear, and asked him to como and dine, lie
consented, and was talking with me as usual,
when I happened to mention Miss Alcwynno’s
name. XIo started up and turned white—but
hero he conics, Faith, and you can sco for your
self how strange ho Is. 110 stopped speaking
and both turned towards the door, os Walter
Roecoc entered pnlcnnd agitated.
•‘Faith, is it true—is sue in tho house?’he
asked wildly.
i ‘Miss Alcwynno is here, Walter, 1 she re
plied.
Ho struck his hand upon his forehead, say
ing. ‘ Why was I not told that sho was com
ing?’
* Don’t look so angry dear Waller, * replied
Faith, ‘ I intend it ns a pleasant surprise for
you both. 1
He half uttered an oath, and Faith bursting
into tears, cried, ‘Oh, Walter don’t. Don’t
swear before these children, too! You never
did so before.’
*lt was only on account of your pleasant
surprise,*ho answered bitterly. ‘Don’t ever
try another. Faith. I have only como to say
: good bye. Tho same house can never hold
Gertrude * he paused, and then added,os
if with an cflort, * Gertrude Alcwynno and my
self.’ i ,
‘But why, Walter?* asked Faith, clinging
to him ns ho turned away. • Have you ever
met before.’
110 looked at her with a strange’sroilo, as
ho replied, ‘ Yes, Faith, wo met on'cb too of

by her evident distress. ‘And when’sho Ims

lie kissed ber fondly, shook bands with her
husband, patted the golden hcnds/>f tbo chil
dren, and was gone. .The young husband and,
wKo looked after him llsifully. A cloud seemed
to have covered the bright spring sky, and the
little parlor of tho cottage seemed lonely and do*
sorted when they again entered it because the
mystery, which might bo guilt, that was even
then sheltered within its peaceful walls.
CHAPTER tl.
Waiter iloscoo, turning away from.his sister’s
home, thought sadly of the many days that
must olapso before ho entered it<\£ain. Of Goiv
(rude ha told himself again and again InJr Imago
camo ii(l bcfoi'e him, ns ho hod seen her last. '
‘ Have I not wronged her V bethought, aa ho
paced thd door of jus ollico that evening. ‘ Is;
it not possible she may be innocent, even tho'
appearances were against her ? Shall I see her
once? Pshaw! what a fool lam! Did I not
scFher (here beside him? Did 1 not see his
lips meet hcr’a ? - If* I asked for a better proof
than.ihy own eyes hdvo given mo I must bo a
madman. I w*ll leave this place' and never
come back till she has gone away.’
Ho threw a few things into a valise, locked
tho writing desk beside him, and stepped into
the street, valise h>hnnd, locked up his office,
and walked away. His residence was a long
distance from-life garden of his sister’s house,
and yet it was there ho found himself after a
hurried walk of some five minutes. He lifted
the latch and entered.
* It is tho last time, Gertrude, that I will ho
so weak,* he murmured, as be looked up at tho
vine curtained window, where a lamp was still
burning; * the last time I shall bo so near you!
Oh ! Gertrude, can yon dream what you have
done, or is your heart all marble?*
Ho buried his face in bis hands, and wept like
a child. The memory of tho happy, hours,ho
had spent with her came over him too strongly
to bo borne. He could meet such remembran
ces with his lehrs. ",
Wlfcn he looked up again ho was conscious
of .an unusual bustle. Lights were moving
hurriedly in several directions, and once or
twice he caught a glimpse of his sister’s figure
passing tho window ofGcrlrude’s room. What
could it bo ? Wos Gertrude ill ? ’ »
His heart stood still at tho thought. Ho
could bear never to look upon her face again;
but, oh, tho grave must not cover it from him!
He sprang up the path,' and was about toenter,
.when the door opened, and Alfred Egerton came
out. •
“You here, "Waller!” ho exclaimed, starling
back, as tho pale face of his brother met his
eye. “ Faiih just told mo to go for you when
I had summoned tho doctor.’
“ Miss Alewynnc Is very ill,” replied Alfred,
“ she is ihrdßencd with the brain fever 1
think.'*
“Oh, merciful heavens!” Tho unhappy
man .staggered, and caught at his brother’s
hand to steady himself.
Alfred looked at him a moment, and then
said soothingly: “Walter it will not do for
mo to slay here a moment. But go in and see
Faithj she will comfort you/* Honing his
hand sympathizing!/ and hurried away.
Half blindi with his unshed tears, tho unhap
py; young man entered Ih’o house, and seeing
his sister sitting at her writing desk in the
parlor, sank down at her feet, and bid his face
in her lap. ‘ •
“ Will she die, Faith ?” he asked.
“1 hope not, my poor Waller. But she is
very 511,” answered Faith, laying her hai\d
upon his head. “Our'own doctor Is with her
now. and Alfred has just gone for Another.”
“What are you doing?” ho asked, looking
up at the half-finished noto before her. “ Wil
ling jo her brother to como to her rcplicdsFaiJli.
“ T did not know that she had ono, Faith.”
“Oh,yes. I have never seen him, but she
sent roe his portrait once. You know,” she ad
ded with a fuint blush, “ it was quite a dream
with us when we were girls—that is—she
wished me to marjy hcr. brother# amLl t wantcd
•her’/o marry mine.” “ ' - ' '
v “I know—l know,” said Waller, and an
Indefinable expression of pain tinted over his
faco. /■'* V . « .
‘‘And SAigho sent mo Edward’s portrait,”
continued Faith;..’** Would you like to sco it,
Walter I” . ’’V*" ,
“ Yes, he replied quickly,. V
Sho opened her writing desk, and taking out
a small inlaid ease, gave iUto him.' Ho gave
ono startled glance at it—another—and the
portrait fell from his hands, and ho uttered a
Wild cry.
“Oh, Gertrude!” ho exclaimed. . “Oh, my
poor wife!”
“Gertrude, your wife!” exclaimed his star
tled sister. “Oh, Waller, when will these
mysteries cease ?” .
“Now—with-this moment,” he replied, ri
sing and scaling himself beside her. “ You
shall hear all—you deserve it. Faith, you
have had your wish. For twelve months shn
has been my wife.”
“Oh, Walter!” sho exclaimed.
“Don’t interrupt mo,” ho said. “I knew
long ago what your wish was': but I wanted
to judge of Gertrude for myself. I knew she
thought you were my sister, and sho met mo as
Walter Uoscoo, at a fashionable watering place,
without a suspicion of my identity, I found her
all yon had so often described. 1 followed her
to hor liomo and she was still more lovely there.
Still I did not moke myself known ns your
brother. Perhaps I had a fancy for one of
your “pleasant surprises,” Faith.
“Oh, go on, dear Waller," said his sister.
“I married her, Faith, and was looking for
ward to a happy meeting with you. It was the
second evening of our marriage, and I had
walked opt with a friend to whom I wished to
say good bye. The moon had risen before I
returned, and ns I laid my hand upon the latch
of the gate, I remembered looking: up at the
moon, and thinking what a tranquilly beauti
ful aspect it word, and how perfectly happy I
whs. Faith T have looked at Tho moon ihany
times since, but sbo never wears that lovelyYa’co
for momow." '
Ho paused and sighed. Faith kissed him
tenderly, and waited for tho conclusion qf tho
story.
, “ Well it must all bo told,".ho resumed,—
“ t entered thc'holiso quietly, thinking to sur-,

Faith uttered an indignant cry, “Jlrqtlier/ 1

Gertrude is good and pure.’ .1 know it/ 1 ’ ’
“ Thank you.for saying so,*’ho answered with
a melancholy smile. “ITcnow it, 100, now—
would to Heaven I had known it then.*!
“ But what did you dp, Walter?”
“ Wlmt would anymnndoi Faith ? I sprung
upon'hint-like a tiger—she throw herself be

cried out—“ Wot a word-pot a word, if you

her? Was it not enough to madden mo? I
was mad, I believe.’ I cursed her bitterly—l

took bis arm. They left tho room, and I—f let

lift my hand, even when my wifo.lcft tho room
with one I fully, believed to .bo her paramour.—
I'rom that night tvo have never piol, and only
two cold and brief letters passed between us.”
“Oh, Walter! This’is wlmfe-has'chonged

•* Is alio then changed ? ho asked eagerly.

and alio is Kail—oh, so littlo liko tho Gertrudo

“Forgive!” she repeated.
There was a beautiful smile upon her lip ns

Faith wept silently for joy upon her husband’s

' A correspondent gives the following Interest
ing accounts of sights in hod about the Capitol
at Washington:
“ Without commerce, without manufactures,
with little internal trade, this city is advancing
with life and rapidity in population and resour
ces. It Will in a few years, contain 100,000
people,' there '.being*now upwards of C 0,000.—
There is said.in Berkshire county to be a little
lake or pond; which by the altitude of Us wa
ter? shows the altitude of the .wells in' town,
a- slhhdard of
bathoinitcr. Nbwdikb that Jake is Washington.
Its condition and advance indicate those ol the
country. ' ’ . -, •* . •
; Look at thccnormonsxftcnsion of the Capi
tol .on that commanding hill. • See with what
expedition ouf people have tom down the once
celebrated homo of Latrobc, in place of which
the architect Waller is now erecting a magnifi
cent filfuctnrc, to cost'bno million of dollars,
enough to build an hundred good churches. —
Scrcntydwo iron brockets, cachwcighing three
tons,'have been-clovoled by steam power to
form the base of the new dome, which Is to-be
, of extraordinary magnificence, and wilt be.visi
ble for miles in every direction, and -for fifteen
or twenty miles down tho'Polomac;
- .- For acres; around tho. Capitol may be seen]
masses of piarblo and granite, chiefly the form
,cr; some fromßorkshire, so mo'from Italy, ohd
from'wherever the finest and most'suitable ma
terial could be procured. Yet even around the
and fastidious wealth of, tho United,
StatesYreasurv, some contractors look out for
,lho‘pennies, ff not for, tho Government; for
thcmsetvcs;< Think of importing marble from
Italy, because the polished material can be ob
tained morts cheaply thence I Italian labor;is
far more cheap, than American labor-hcnce
Italians keep the atatuary. fiold, and fill all tho
ornamental offices. They may be seen like
bees slicking to-tho inside and outsldb of tho
Capitol, industriously at work. They are exe
cuting a system of decorations for the interior :
of tho-Capitol, bo gorgeous, symbolical, and
impressive, that, an untravcllctl visitor to tho
city, will wonder if ho is in the capitol city of
his bimplo republican country, whose President
cannot jh his outward aspect bo distinguished
from any thoughtful, natural, or moral philos
opher, wlio muses along the streets, or per
cnancofroinsomc deeply envvatted Presbyterian
dlvinei' The largo fluted columns that go into
the structure of the dome may be sccn-lying in
formidab|o rows on the ground, soon to be crcc
ted iii ilicir places, and to setoff (ho fine pro
portions of the structure. *
‘ About this building 1400 men arc .constantly
at work,'under a regimen of alTOOst~milUary
strictness, for the head of the concern is Capt.
Meigs, an army cnginccr, who has the roll call
ed every morning, and regulates aU'othcr mat
ters accordingly. Tho verjr committee rooms
will be as sumptuous in their appointments as
a lady’s boudoir. Mosaic floors glitter in every
direction, and the whole region of classic my
thology has been ransacked for symbolical con
tributions to make Up a set of ideas cdircspond
i lc* ShJ-ftreft, 1 w ’policy. •.
On every side we are bewildered with goda
and goddesses,muses and groccs, fauns, nymphs
and dryada. Mars frowns with his giant hand
on liissword. .N’cp tune grasps Jn's trident,with
which ho shakes land and sea. , Minerva pre
sides over the arts. Vcnua is radient with love
andbcpuly. Ceres solemnly holds her cornu
copia. . And from yonder ceiling all thusensons
at once arc pouring out their pictorial treasures.
put the moat beautiful, solid, ond enduring
memorials arc those of Crawford, tho sculptor,
who designed some exquisite statues, some of
which are finished; on the marble blocks ol
others, tho workmen ore now engaged, The
Genius of America, wrapped tn her starry man
tle, is eloquent of the past, and prophclic of iho
future. Tho Mechanic, an huroule subject, less
brilliant than tho stern hero, )c& attractive
than sofr beauty, is finely represented. This
statue honors industry, and indicates oncoflhc
leading sources of prosperity to our beloved
land. Tho American Youth is also dono ip
stone. And not to lavish everything on war,
glory, and the arts of destruction, Education
has her statuette, and by that wo must thrive.
Tho Halls of Congress will be supurb. Great
themes aro yet to be discussed there, great tal
ents to bo developed, and great and bcnificcnt
results produced wo may hope, for our country
and tho world. I
Wo aro sorry to see,-in this connection, a
statement made that the iivchitccla of the New
Capitol have Just discovered that the Rotunda
wails are too weak’to bear the new iron dome.
Its construction will therefore bo suspended,
ami the immense expenditure already incurred
will bo lost. Strengthening tho walls sufficient
ly, involves nearly the rtmdral anti renewal of
the old Capitol Building.

Jly own conviction la,thattho newspaper,tho
common- newspaper of Iho country,"Villi all tho
objections that may Justly be brought against It,
especially In times of political excitement, is
tho great enlightener and civilizer of America.
Ho who roads newspapers, during spare boars,
will soon form a tosto lor reading, and. flnd-lho
newspaper a: then, ho .will find,
oilier necessities? when ho reads
news; ho will find It necessary to refer to gcog
raphy, which ho will do with an interest that
will bo revived and deepened from week to week;
.whcnlid reads of market and river news, ho.
will often bo led to study iho laws bf commerce
and agriculture;'wboh ho.reads ‘of politics, ho
will feel compelled to study bls/ory, first Amer
ican, then foreign, both modern, and ancient:
when ho reads poetry, his heart ohd imagination
' will he excited—hence,'he may bo led to Shak
spenro.nnd Miltonj which may so powcrAiJly ex
cite him that bo lnduced to study Heed,
Steward’, and others, on tho. philosophy of (ho
human mind, in order that ho may understand
(heprinciples upon which iho poets proceed;
tho CdUorlals,,espoolalfy such as were sharp ond
ringing, on •whidbover side in politics) wilL&t
bis blood in.mollon.' Tho tasio for study, thus
formed, will attend him through life; Tho nows
paper Is tho great educator of our Irish and
German population. You get them In
to bur Schools and churches, but you can enlist
them In politics, they can easily bo Induced to
read tlio papers; thus they can bo enlightened
and enticed to read books; and tho habit onca
formed, there Is no tolling to what extent it
may bo carried.
; Thank God for a soul which cdh drink in its
harmonics. Tho pulse leaps wildly'lo the slir
tihgvnumbcrs. which, like the foot falls of amir
cd.incn, awaken the fiery impiikcs of tho slum
bering heart. Or its low wall is answered by
sobs, ond the eloquence of its plaintive sadness/
with tears.
«Tfcip buplo and the drumbeat stir the blood
like (fed lightning in tho veins. If there is in*
finance which would make tho timid heart like
■iron, and drive it madly to battle, it lalltot of
martial music, .Often-In childhood liavo we
watched the columns of soldiery, and/bund a
tcar.upqn the check at the emotion stirred by
the tossing, plume, the flaunting banners, and’
the drumbeat pulsing regularly through , the
whole massiike one common footfall upon tho
beaten, sward, sending the thoughts surging
' through the soul. And yet, nlasl that music
should , bo made tho mighty.stimulus which
drives host-against host in tho battle shock.
Wb once stood by tho side of a friend in the
great procession which followed one hundred
thousand pelUio'ns up to the State Capitol at
Albany, demanding tho Maine Law*, As lho
’dense mass. of people, like a mighty monster
moved by one neart; wound through the pity
and lapped around the very Capilol iisclf, the
emotions swelled^to-the throat.. .The moslc'of
1 rtloTnridsrbfeeand fell on the wind', and the
ground ScCmcd to shako under the tread of the
people. “iGloryl” ejaculated a friendby the
side of us, “I .could march to tho Mississippi
to that music, and back again without eating
or sleeping;” Ho was not t/io only one who
1 wai (hat hour chafing under the wild cstacy of
music.
A few moments since, a shadow—one of
those which will drift without warning into 1 ev
ery sky— gloomy upon our heart. But It
vanished as it camo I A Iricnd touches a gui
tar, and the first waves of a touching melody,
filled the world and heart with sunshine. The
chafing spirit 5a soothed ond lulled, and the
gentleness of childhood steals in where the un
worn will was sullenly fretting in the worn
frame. Tho soul rises on the lido of a new emo
tion like & freed bird, ond the melodies there
garnered, gush up and chime out with tho airs
of tho shell. A summer sky is now above
ns.
How much of holy music there Is in the chi
ming of church bells . f Tremulous with silvery
sweetness, they rise and fall upon tho still Sab
bath air, stealing along until, like the faint
sounds of a waterfall, thev drop down into tho
heart where it is ever mbist with (cays. ,
Napoleon wept as ho listened to the chiming
of the distant cathedral bells of Bnrgcs. There
were places in his heart which had not been
burned oter by the (ftot66r blozb of ambition.—
Tho echoes of chimes heard in childhood were
stirred by llurdistant peal, and for fto moment,
ho forgot h/s dream or glory and gazed tearful,
ly back.—Cciyuga Chief.
