THE WHIPPOOBWIII, BX GBACE ADA. “AAU* of ni shts, the million lights 'll the solemn Jnne stars horned «r e P ur Pj? skies, like the watohing eves Of gods, all earthward turned. ’Twas the month of bloom,from the saintly moon , J Fell a .mist of silver lace, the gleaming veil, in the poet’s tale, That hid the prophet’s face: When a Whippoorwill, from his unoouth bill, Poured a lay so rare and strong, It rose and fell like a silver bell, Till the sweet air reeled with song. The rose did raise with cheeks ablaze Her face for a zephyr’s kiss, And the lily meek, with a snowy cheek, Quite swooned away with bliss. The violet fair, with a nun-like air, JLooked up in grave surprise; But the mueic stole in her dainty- soul, -Till she drooped her azure eyes. A mourner said, with grief-bowed head, n And pale hands clasped in woe: “’Tis a weary life of care and strife; • ’Twere better far to go “To the quiet bed, where no shrinking dread Of to-morrow can molest; The happy may prate of the future state— I can only wish for rest.” Through the curtained gloom of her lonelv room Stole the Whippoorwill’s clear tune, And it drew her feet, with music sweet, Till she stood beneath the moon. In that charmed air she forgot despair; And ’tis clear that the uncouth bill Of the Spartan bird, with its auaint three words, ' Had wrought its own sweet will. That night, of nights, when the merry lights . In Zliiah’s eyes grew cold, And grev-browed Sleep,with stealthy creep. Bowed low her head of gold— “Amen!” I said, as before her bed She knelt in the moonlight still, With, “God bless mother, and little brother, And God bless the Whippoorwill!” —Long Island Times. -The Hospice of St. Bernard. A correspondent, writing from Swit zerland, gives the following interesting description of a visit to the celebrated Hospice of St. Bernard: I have made one trip since I wrote which has interested me much, to “the Hospital of St. Bernard.” It is a place which from childhood I have felt carious to see, and all summer I have waited for an opportunity to go there, but the sea son was so far advanced,that I hadabout given up the idea, when a few days ago, Mr. P. (a young gentleman'who has boarded here daring the summer) pro | posed that I should go with him and : * party of his 'friends. Leaving ; Lausanne, Wednesday noon, we arrived at Martigny at night, and taking an open wagon the next morning, at seven o’clock, we arrived at a place called “Cantine Pros”about half-past three in the. afternoon; from there we took mules, and a ride of two hours up a rocky, rough ascent, brought us to “the /Hospice,” a little after sundown. We were, received in the most courteous 1 manner by one of the monks and shown / at once to our rooms. They were com fortably furnished with clean beds, wash ing apparatus, and all necessary things, but of course at that height (between 8,000 and 9,000 feet), one does not expect to find any luxuries. I felt the extreme elevation in difficulty of breathing, and an unpleasant sensation in my mind. We suffered very much from cold; the mercury never rises there above 68 degrees and it freezes there every night. Boon after we arrived dinner was served, and the evening was spent in conversation and music, the salle a moan ger serves at the same time for parlr and all visitors assemble there for the evening. We had a fire, but the warmth was more nominal than real. There is not a tree or shrub growing within two hours’ride of “the Hospice,” and every stick of wood has to be transported on the back of mules; consequently great econmny must be observed in using it; in addition to that, evaporation is so great at that height that water boils at 190 degrees,and what could be cooked in three hours ordinarily requires five there. Few of the monks can stand the climate many years, but are obliged to leave at about forty years of age, and their places are supplied by younger ones. When. I went to bed, “the host” lighted my candle, and asked me if 4 X would “ like to have my bed warmed?” I thought not, but rather re pented when' I found myself shiverin ■>• in bed. I arose at half past five, and atthat moment heard the dogs un der my window. On looking out there were some eight or ten, large and small, calling for their breakfast. They are splendid fellows, but not quite so large as I expected to , find them. The race has somewhat degenerated, lam told, and once or twice they have very nearly lost the breed, once by fire; another time by being buried under an avalanche. They are' good-tempered, gentle and courageous, and are very useful, as you know, m finding lost travelers, the scent of human beings being so acute, that they find persons buried under the snow, where no human eye sees any trace of them. J Many times the dogs disappear entirely except a portion of the tail, in making this search. I would like to take one home with me; now and then they sell one, but not very often. About six o’clock we went into the chapel to see mass performed, but the cold soon drove us back to the fire; about seven o’clock breakfast was served (bread and coffee only), and then we were shown the cha pel. There we deposited our donations; there is no charge whatever made foren tertainment, but each visitor places, if able, a sum of money in the “Fronc de3 Aumones”; ofcourse there arethousa'nds who are poorandgive nothing. Lastyear 23,000 slept in the “hospice” in passing over the St. Bernard. Alter visiting the cha P®'' we went into the library, where are 6,000 volumes, mostly in French and Batin; also a fair collection of coins, an cient and modern,- and some Roman re mains, which have been found from time to time among the mountains. Out of the hbraiy-room leads a • smaller one, containing a few pictures, gifts of visit ors; among them an e ugraving of-Wash rngton. From the library we went to a small building called “La Maison des Morfs. It is a small stone house, erected many years since, in which from time to time have been placed thebodies' of those who have perished in the sho w;’ fflE DAILY EVENIN Top look through a grated window, without glass, and in a moment the darkness is dispelled, and you see dis tinctly all within the building. There are skeletons in different pos tures, just as they were found,blackened by time, but not having decayed, owing to the extreme dryness and rapid evapo ration of the air—they have simply dried up—the last one, placed there ten years ago, has still soft, beautiful black hair on the head, probably a woman. The floor is covered with bones of the human body, bleached and whitened by frost and time; to me it was ‘‘the thing,” to to see there, though many persons shrink from the idea; but it gave me a better idea of what the Hospice had been to wayfarers, than anything else. While these had perished, thousands of others had been rescued and saved. One dog alone, the famous Barry, has saved twenty-eight-lives. He is now dead. a The London Publishing Season.— About seven hundred new bookß are an- ? o 0 Ji n 5 ed S L °“ d011 f or the season of lobe-/. The Bookseller publishes the list, occupying seventeen closely printed octavo pages, and remarks that, “the provision is ample,every class of readers voll find just those books which: they have long felt the want of; art, science, ‘ biography, travel, all have been thought of, nothing has been left undone,nowantunsupplied.” There is a long list of illustrated books for the holidays among them Flaxman’s illus trations of Dante, Rembrandt’s Etch nogs, the Masterpieces of Mulready, Thornbury’s “Two Centuries of Songs,” and various works by Dor6. The depar t ment of antiquities and heraldry is full and works on education are numerous! announces a curious book, entitled “The Wilds of London, with a Full Account of the Natives,” by James Greenwood, the “Amateur Casual ” Among the facetiae are “The Curiosities of Flagellation;” “Puniana;” and the choicest Jests of English »Vit”—all pub lished by Hotton, who seems to have a fancy for publishing odd books; his •History of Signboards,” published last summer, has had a good sale in London and New York. Many American books are announced for republication this season. Sampson Low SfSon issue Irving’s “Bpanish Pa pers,” and the ninth volume of Ban croft’s History; Murray announces the third and fourth volumes of Motley’s “History of the United Netherlands ” completing the work. ’ English Accounts.— The following anecdote will show with what nice pre cision the accounts are required to be kjTt in the great private banking houses ef the English metropolis: . After, closing the doors to customers, every clerk makes up his accounts, and a general balance is struck, which must tally to the veriest farthing before the clerks separate. It happened, on the occasion in question, that in one of these great establishments, there was two shillings and ten pence minus in the balance. Every clerk was ordered to revise his account, the silver and copper money in the vast vaults was recounted —but still there was no solution of the cause of the deficit. repeated over and over again, still there wanted two shillings and ten pence; the resident partner would not let the clerks depart without a correct balance; gladly would each_ clerk have paid the difference ten times out of his own pocket. The affair remained unexplained until the next morning, when, on the arrival of one of one of the non-resident partners he recollected taking that exact sum out of the till, for the payment of the postage on a foreign letter, but without making the usual memorandum of the same. Politeness". —Says Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm: Public teachers err in talk ing of politeness as a matter of taste,like the color of a ribbon. It is a fundamen tal Christian duty, taught in the New Testament, in a much more forcible and comprehensive manner, than by Ches terfield, or any similar writer. The pre cepts which teach us to “love one an other, in honor one another ” are the foundations of all true politeness. The boy who afflicts himself, to occupy a seat, while gray hairs stands, has not been properly exercised in “The Assem bly’s Shorter Catechism,” and the strong man who neglects to offer a seat to a woman, disregards a law of nature, and that precept which requires all to bear each other’s burdens. Nothing can change that law which makes woman the weaker- and dependant party; and until oaks refuse to bear the mistletoe, man must violate nature’s statutes in refusing such aid as he can readily grant to .any woman he may meet. If she neglect asuitable acknow ledgment she is seriously in fault; but even this neglect does not and cannot absolve him from the Christian duty of politeness. J Judicial Reform in England.— lt is considered certain that the British Ministry are preparing a bid for judicial reform, whicn they will lay before Par liament early in the approachingsession. The details Sre not known, but it is be lieved that the bill contains provisions for lengthening terms of office, for rear ranging the circuits, and for increasing the number of judges. The reasons for the proposed reform are forcibly stated by the London Review. It says: “The condition of the nation has entirely changed, yet we attempt to make the old machinery answer. The judges still hold the assizes' with little more fre quency than they used to hold them in the reign of Henry 111. The courtsstill sit in banco at Westminster for the same number of days as they sat before Ame rica was discovered, and when the com merce of the whole country was hot equal to that which how belongs to a second or third rate town. T&e time has surely come for the abolition of ar rangements no more suited to moder n times than thearmor of a crusader would have been to the combatants at Sa dowa.” Ccst of Printing a Daily Paper in the Far West.— The Denver Daily News says: It costs here about twelve hundred dollars per week to run a daily newspaper. The voting population, of Denver is about twelve hundred. Of these about two-thirds takeand.pay for a daily paper. Ills a fact too well known to require any argument to prove,> that there is scarcely a daily paper m the Union whose subscription rates cover the cost of the blank paper upon which it is printed. Did the News depend only upon its subscription for support, it could not live a week. To meet current expenses, the ad vertising patrons must make up what sub scription fails' to pay-about six hundred and fifty dollars. The average number of advertisers in this community is about one hundred,these one hundred 4 advertisers must pay weekly, to sustain the paper, six dollars and fifty cents each, in orderto meet the expenses of the mechanical and professional labor required on its columns’.” jBJPLLETIN i j PHILAD^LPE.IA ) SATURDAYvDECRMBER 8,1886 --T.RIPLESHRKT Changes in the British House of JPordß The number of.. Peers of Parliament has increased since January last by .fif teen, and. hasbeen diminis bed by seven. The additions have arisen, first, from creations, of which there have been eight, viz.,Duke of Edinburgh, Viscount Halifax, Barons Burrogill, Hylton,Lyt ton, Penryn, Romilly and Strath'nairn; secondly, by English titles having been conferred on six Irish peers, viz., Baron Clermont, previously Baron Clermont in the Irish.peerage; Baron Brancepetb, previously Viscount Boyne; Baron Hartismere, previously Lord Henniker, M; P.; Baron Kenry, previously Earl Dunraven; Baron Monk, previously Lord Monk; Baron Meredith,previously Lord Athlumney; and thirdly, by one peer becoming entitled to take his seat, having attained his majority, viz., the Duke of Hamilton. The Earl of Harrington, who would have become of age this year,died shortly after the meeting of Parliament. The total addition, fifteen peers, makes the numberof peers of Parliament, exclusive of thirty spiritual peers, four hundred and thirty-nine; from which must be deducted three peerages, which have become extinct, viz: Baron Bayning, Baron Glenelg and Baron Ponsonby. The changes by succession have further diminished this number by four, the heirs of deceased noblemen being mi nors, viz: Viscount Clifden (sitting as Lord Dover), LoraMonteagle, Earl Do noughmore (sitting as Viscount Hutch inson), and Lord Rivers. During the year twenty-three peers have died, viz: Marquises Camden and Lansdowne; Earls Bathurst, Chesterfield, Craven, Gainsborough, Harrington, Kinnoul (sitting as Lord Hay), Donoughmore, Rosslyn, Lanesborough, Limerick (sit ting as Baron Foxford) and Beauchamp; Viscount Clifden; Lords Bayning, Clin* ton, Glenelg, Northbrook, Monteagle, Plunket, Ponsonby, Vernon and Rivers. TheJJpper House, therefore, at present, consists of four hundred and sixty-tsvo spiritual and temporal peers. KeporteJ for Bulletin.
