An author's writings tttu a put gen erally the botter part of himself ; them fere we cannot dissever thu man Irem Ins works, and out interest in the former is always ptopnrtieuato te the popularity of the latter. Fer this reason Sloke l'.iis, in whose humble churchward Gray is sup posed te have written his immortal poem, and in which he himself lies buried, is a place of peculiar ami s.icied iuteiest .My PilgruiiHKw te this hallowed spot was enu el thu most intercHtim: incidents el my visit te Kiitf lauil. It was the last of my excursions fiein Londen previous u, my Unal depart are, and it embraced also Hamilton Court p.ilauu and Windser Castle. I could till column after column with desctiptieuH of what I saw in ami areuuJ these splendid palaces, he full of memories of Catdiual Welsey ntid Henry VIII , nud a letii; line of kiiigb .mil queens ; but such is net my purpese. Sutllce it te say that near the close of a beautiful day in August I feutid myself standing en the north turiace of Wudier C title, and leukiui; down upon enu of thu most buautiftil landscapes of that beautiful country. Immediately below lay the town of Windser, crowding up te the oistle walls, like a beggar clinging te the skirts of teyalty. A littlu bsyetid Hew ed the Thames, winding .ike a ailver ribbon through nature's mjiil iohe. On the further side lay thu town of Cleu, famous for its venerable eellegu, the fester tuelhei id many el li glaud' wert 'licst sons. A ltttle futtlier en, acnus vi'tdant meadows, ticli gaidens, and tields el golden ex uu, at a distance el t we miles lay thu town ui Heugh (eh, ii'iouphiuiieus nume :), while still lurtlier en, avsay upon the using ground, at a distancs el kit tnileti, the spue of Stoke I'egi.s ehtttch might bu teen tisitig among the tie.-s, nud looking, in the ilistauue, su.uee latgerthati a bodkin. I cared mere let thu' humble church with its "oeuutiv chuichyaid" than for all the gloties of Windser Castle, and thither I resolved te se, if pessililm, hefore nightfall. A brief tn,i tlicre by cauiage would be both uxpoui.ve and un satisfactory, and tlioiefete, thuuh already footsore, I resolved te walk and te remain there ull night, tt listing te liud ,i.j luim ) datieiiH in Heme ceuutiy inn. A HbMuhUiI ivalk Leaving thu castle, I relre.sh d myself byaeupoftea, and then (darted en my tramp, On reaching tlie bridge evor the Thames I tinned and looked back at the neble custle standing proudly en it k bill, and lisitig 'J'iO feet iibevi) tiie surfaca of the liver. It was a magtiitleunt sight, well calculated te impH ss tliu mind with the glory and grandeur of Kngland. Turn ing my ejes te the liver, gliding Hlluntly bcueatli my feet, Mint across by Bw-.ft and grauuful beats, aud overhung here and there along Iih banks, by clumps of tiees, the vision of grandeur quickly vanished, and the soul was entranced with a tit earn of quiet beauty. I longed te linger here, but feared te de se, lest I should llu 1 my self a " Delated traveller" when I renched my destination. As I pissed through Eten I stepped for a few minutes te leek at the tlmcblaekencd walls of the oellogo, then continued en, along a line read (all reads are line iu England), into the open country. As far ns Slough (two miles) tlie read Is level ; there it turns te the left aud begins a gradual nceut. On either hand is an lmtienutrablt) hedge, weveu with tangled vines and spangled wltli blossoms, almost hiding the fertile fluids beyond. The wheit is ripe, and someof it in shocks . (Herein Lincaster county the wheat had been harvested flve or hlx weeks bofero. ) The eats are also r je or iipuuing. The land is in a high statu of cultivation, uud the patches of potatoes and ethur vogutahles that gleam lilee emeralds amid tlie Holds of amber gra'n, give premiso of an abundaut yield. Nowheio olse iu England had I seen u country he rich and varied As I approach Stoke IVigis rows of tall elms line the reid, and stretch their long arms acreis ever head as if te shake bauds, thus forming iu some places a leafy canopy. It is a place and time of enchantment, ami I keep snyi-ig temjHelf I 0 could I help it? bow hdauMful ! hew charming ! Aud new thu twilight begins te fall, and I quicken my steps lest I Uud myHull benighted en the read. Ne church is iu sight ; it is Hidden behind the trees aud hedges, Prepently I soe u turnstile iu the hedge at my left, and I go up te it te soe what lles buyen.il ; when le ! there stands bofeio tne In thodeopoiiiug twilight me monument et the pout, aud imyetni it tlie luitnble parish eliurjh, am d fie silent congregation of the dead. The Chin chyard. I outered tbe park for such it was and after a brief examination of the mo me mortal (te whleh I shall returu by and by) passed ou te the clnirjhy.u' I, whero rest the remains of the poet, amid the scenes which his genitis hasennnecratcd. Passing in at the narrow gate, " along the churcU way path " whero many n person has been carried te returu no mere, I paused for a time te oentomplato the sceno around me. It was the verv hour described iu the opening stanzas of the rJlegy, which kept rotating thomselves iu my mind ever aud evor again : The enifew tells the kuull el p.utlnp day, The lowing herd wlmlslnivly o'er the lei, The plowman hemew.it d plods his weary way, And leaves the world tedarkuestand te mu. " New lailesthu glliiimeilnn landscape en the sluht, An l i'l ine i- 1,11. eii i in iml 's, H . i l. imiH, I duct. n Ami drowsy tlnkliugs i. d tue distf m te '" "Have that Irem yenilnrlvv-mnntlu I tower The moping owl does te the moon complain Ol such iu, wanilutlug near hursurtet bower, Molest her ancient, solitary lcltpi.'' I could almost imagliie the telling of the curfew. for at Wlndsei my gulde had pointed out te uie u portion of the town that is still called " Curfew Town." It wes the hour when laborers wero plodding hemuward from their dally tell ; aud though I tlid net actually hear the lowing et the herd or the drowsy tiukliugs of the sheep bells, yet the description was in perfect harmony with tlie rural scenes through which I had imt passed. Thu "glimmering landncape" was Indeed failing ou the sight, aud all the air held "n solemn dullness" truly solemn, for around me was the silence of the grave Whether " the moping owl" was thore or net I de knew ; if slie was she did net com plain te thu moon perhaps 1 was se quiet as net te "disturb h r anclent, solitary reigu;" but thore was "the Ivy-mantled tower," ami thore at my left wero the "rugged elms" through whose tops the moon was pem ing down her beams, casting weird, slillting shadows ou tlie ground, aud lighting up the marble monuments that wero scattered here and there, till they gleamed liku snoeted ghosts. Tlie Peet's Ornvn. Twe peasant women wero near tne, an old one, who was watering the Mowers ou an humble graviyuid a yeungur one with a child iu her arms. I tut nod te thorn and tnqtiiiud whero the poet Gray was buried. Tite uame neemed slrange te thorn, but otie of thorn civilly auswered that she thought it was down thore (with a gesture) by the uud of the ulitiruh. As I weut iu that direction I was struck with the teallty of the description contained in the line, ' Mieiu heuvui thu tint in many a meuldir limp," for the ground is billowed like the sea. It is doutely popula'el this uity of the dead. Thore they lie, theso "rude forefathers of the hamlet," side by side, iu uudUtiuguislied repose. The poet's grave is a few feet from the east uud of the church. It is a plain altar tomb, about thirty inches high, covered with a blui state- slab, aud contains besides his own ashes, these of his mother aud his aunt. Od the slab is the following inset ip ip tleu writtuu by Gray himself, which I was just able te make out in thu dim, uncertain light : " In the vault biuealll mudupuslted.ln hope of ajeyfiil resiirieclteu, thu lunulas el Maiy Auliebus.

Gray's uame is nut moutieuod ou the tomb itself, hut thetu is u tahlet ou the wall of thu church which records his burial theie, and it Is also recorded. en thu monu ment noticed abeve. A Mtit In n Uottnse The light of day, which had for seme timt) been faintly struggling with the moonbeams, had new almost disappeared , and after viewing for a moment the vouer able church aud tower, and drinking iu tbe solemn beauty of the houue, I turned 1 1 depait, resolved te return aud c Jtnplote tnysurvey ou the morrow. The womeu were about te loave for the village, aud I uskud poi mission te go with them.

Hore was a llx, but I did net despair. Passing ou I uame te a pietty cottage standing a little baek from the read, and slopped te iuquire for an inu ; but It looked se oozy aud inviting when the mistress opened the deer, that I asked portuissten te stay. At llrst she was in clined te lefuse, but when I compliiueuted her ou lie ueatnecs of lnr ot'ige, aud told her that I was an American vlsitiug for the llrst time the laud of my birth, shu changed her nund, and with many apolo apelo apole gotical pretests about her accommodations, took mu iu. Her husband, a bricklayer, was eating his slipper. Tuey wero gruatly Interested iu my accounts et thu new world, as was I in the details they uavu of their hum bio English life. Mechanics teceivu higher wages iu England than 1 supposed. Bricklayers are paid 0 pence an hour iu Steke Pegls, which for a day et teu hours would amount te $1.80 .My room was literally, I think, net mero than " soveu by nine," but it was neat nud clean, and thu bed was uomfertablo and well aired, as beds were uvotywhero in England. Iu tlie morning I took a walk belore break fast, te view the hamlet by daylight, aud after breakfast b.ule my host aud hestsss geed by and returned le tbe village church te llnisli my investigations. The sunlight had dispelled the weird aud ghostly beauty of the night bofero ; but ou the ether baud it gave additional interest by bring lug out iu Htronger relief many important details. First, I examined ihe Monument bnelly montiutied above. It is composed of line frocsteno, and consists of a sar cophagus resting upon a rectangular po pe po destal about llve feet wide, eight (eet long, aud ten fcet high. William Hewitt, iu his " Hemes aud Haunts of the British Peets," gives a description of it, whieh Mr. Uolfe oepios iu his odltleu of Gray's " Select Peems ;'' but the inscriptions as there given are inoerrcot. I will give t'lem as I copied thorn en tliu spot : On the west und : This monument In honerot THOMAS UtlAV, WuHuiucti'il A. D., 1790, among tlie seen is CilebiuUd by Hut uteat Lyric and K:elnc Peel.

On the south side : " lluncutli tlieiu ruggud uIiih, lb it yew tree's shade, Where heaves the turt In miny a meuldeilnir heap, Kucli In his nariew cell forever laid, The i ude loretut'iuis et the hutnlet sleep. " Thu beast of heraldry, the pomp el power. .Mid ail mat ueiuiy, an mat we.iun etr Kuve, Await alike the Inevitable hour ; Tliu paths of glory lead but te thu Ki'ive." On the cast cud : "Ye distant spites, ye autl'iue tewirj That crown the watuty iHudu ! Ah, happy hills I ah, pleasing shade: Ah, fluids beloved In vain I WIiiiiu encu iny enreluss childhood strayed, A stranger yet te pain 1 I fuel thu galus tint round ye blew A uiemuniary bliss below."

The spires aud tewers referred te are of course tlipbe of Eten nud Windser, which are olearly visible from these uplands. The ground around the monument is nicely graded, nud surrounded by a sunk fonce, Th Church and Hi " 1 vy.Mmitled Tennr.'' i new roentoiod thu churchyard and directed my attontleu te the ohttreh anil Its nurieundlngs. It is a plain steuu ohureli, with n deuble reef (as of two builditiRH placed slde by slde), with gable faolng'.eastaud west. Thotewor Isja sqtiore Btruoture at the northwest corner of the ohureh, surmounted by a gracefully taper Ing splre. Beth church and tewer nre literally ivy mantled. The main outrauce Is through a perch. This Is an interesting fcattire of all parish churolies, Hore iu former times marriages were solenini.ed. Chauoer's wife of Bath say?, "Husbands ut chlrche deer have 1 had llve." It Is the place Iu which all parish notices are posted notices of public meetings, transfers of property, elections, etc. 1 read hore, for oxample,anotico that A had transferred acertalu house, etc., te B. Near the perch are seme old yew trees undoubtedly the same trees that the poet had In mind when he wrete the line, ' lluneath theso rugijed elms, that yow-tiee's sliude;" and I breke oil a llttle twig as a moiueuto, also seme leavos from the " ivy-tnautled lower." Tlie yew Is an overgroon some, what leseuibliug cedar, and is often found in English ehurchyatds, belug regarded as a symbol of immortality. An Hrrer Corrected, Steke Pegis church stands Iu the grounds kuewu as Steke Park, whleh is attached te the "great house," or mauer home of the parish. This ustate has bceu formally years iu the poiressiuu of the Peuu family dcoeudauts or Willi.nu Peun; and seme of the guidebooks (Haipsr's for example) state that Wm. Penn was born hore. This is certainly a mistake. Hewitt (abeve referred te) says that ' after the death of the Visoetiutoss Cob ham (date net given) the ostate was pur chased by Wni. Penu, chlef proprietor of Pennsylvania, a dttundant of the eclebra. ted Wm. Penu, the founder of that state." The original Win. Peun was born, ac cording toJauney (Life of William Penn) iu the parish of St. Catharine's, uear thu Tewer of Londen, Oct. 11, 1011. Qrauville Peun, of Steke Pegis, presented te the historical soeiotyof Pennsylvania the well known portrait of his great ancestor. A mau, assisted by a little boy, was trying te lead a heavy steuu upon a truck, just outstde the churchyard, aud could net de it. I took held aud assisted him, for which he was very grateful, and thiH was my last uxporlenco at Steke PeglH. Casting "ene longing, lingering leek be hind" ( what au aliitoialleu ! ) I departcd across the Holds for Slough, whero I took the cars for Londen, thus ending a delight ful.oxcursieu te a sacred and cencrccrated spot, dear te overy levor of English liter ature. .1.
