The chimes, the chimes of Motherland
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day
The day is ended. Ere I sink to sleep
Thee first and last, my God, my King
The farmer's wife sat at the door.

There be those who sow beside

There's a wedding in the orchard, dear

The Sabbath day has reached its close
The shadows of the evening hours
The spacious firmament on high
The starry skies, they rest my soul.
The stormy March is come at last
The sun of life has crossed the line.
The tender light is fading

The thoughts are strange that crowd
The time so tranquil is and clear
The way is dark, my child!

The

way is dark, my Father!

The weary teacher sat alone

The woman singeth at her spinning-wheel
The works of man are always incomplete
They are always together, the Master and she
The year 's at the spring.

Thou art, O God! the life and light

Thou Grace Divine, encircling all

Thou must be true thyself

Thou, who dost feel Life's vessel strand.

Three little words, but full of sweetest meaning

Throw your banner "In His Name"
Time rolls his ceaseless course.

'T is gone, that bright and orbed blaze
'T is heaven alone that is given away
To Heaven's high city I direct my journey
To-morrow, dear sister, to-morrow we part
Touched by a light that hath no name
True worth is in being, not seeming
'T was hard to sing by Babel's stream
Two angels came and spoke to me

Two wandering angels, Sleep and Death.
Unto the glory of Thy Holy Name.

Up in the wild, where no one comes to look
We are up and away.

What wilt thou do with the year

Whene'er a noble deed is wrought

Weary of myself, and sick of asking

We knew it would rain

We should fill the hours with the sweetest things

When beechen buds begin to swell

When I shall go where my Redeemer is
When Israel, of the Lord beloved

Who finds a woman good and wise.

Why thus longing, thus forever sighing
Within the midnight of her hair
Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell

Books for Travellers.

California and Alaska and over the Canadian Pacific Railway. By WILLIAM S. WEBB, M.D. The volume is elegantly printed in quarto; size 8x11 inches. The illustrations consist of four original etchings and eighty-eight photogravures of views and scenes from photographs. It contains 190 pages of text, printed upon the finest vellum paper, and is sumptuously bound in full morocco. But 500 copies printed. $25.00.

The journey described in the above volume was taken in the winter of 1888 9, by the author, accompanied by his family and a few friends. It comprises a trip across the continent by the most picturesque route, and along the Pacific Coast to Lower California, and the travellers were in all nearly three months en route. The author possessed, among other qualifications for a successful traveller, an enthusiastic interest in his undertaking, and in the very complete organization of his travelling arrangements he also possessed exceptional facilities for seeing all that there was to be seen in the country gone over-a country which, in the rapid progress of settlement, is changing so extensively from year to year, that the descriptions given five years back would to-day hardly be recognizable.

Holland and its People. (Van Dyke Edition). By EDMONDO DE AMICIS. Translated from the Italian by CAROLINE TILTON. New, revised edition, printed from new plates. With 77 illustrations. Pp. 460, gilt top. $2.25. "A charming book the story of a land rich, fertile, and prosperous, which has been reclaimed from the barren sea."-N. Y. Tribune.

"In Holland and its People' he has struck the golden mean; his information is all offered in the most delightfully attractive form, and he infuses a portion of his warm blood, his enthusiasm, his restlessness, his bounding animal spirits, and his happy disposition into his readers."

A Midsummer Drive through the Pyrenees. By EDWIN ASA DIX M.A., ex-Fellow in History of the College of New Jersey, at Princeton. 12mo, illustrated. $1.75.

"Seldom does a book of travel come to our table which is so much like a trip itself as this one is. Upon closing the last leaf we feel as if we had been with the writer." -Public Opinion.

The Great Fur Land; or, Sketches of Life in the Hudson Bay Territory. By H. M. ROBINSON. With numerous illustrations. 16mo,

paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.75.

"Mr. Robinson's narrative exhibits a freshness and glow of delineation founded on a certain novelty of adventure which commands the attention of the reader and makes his story as attractive as a romance."-N. Y. Tribune.

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains. By ISABELLA BIRD, author of "Six Months in the Sandwich Islands," etc.

cloth, $1.75.

"Miss Bird is an ideal writer.

16mo, paper, 50 cents;

She has regard to the essentials of a scene or episode, and describes these with a simplicity that is as effective as it is artless.". London Spectator.

A Race with the Sun around the World. By CARTER H. HARRISON. Fully illustrated. Large octavo, cloth extra, gilt top. $5.00.

"The Race with the Sun' is just such a book as no one of us would or could have written, and, nevertheless-or shall we say therefore?-just such a book each of us would read with pleasure and profit. Mr. Harrison says he makes no pretentions to literary merit,' and yet he possesses it in a good, direct, simple, and readable style. But he can write a good book of travel, and he has done so."-Chicago Tribune.
