\When he chose me, all was well.

‘*So many bright faces had passed him by, Like clusters of shining stars, F As to and fro they smiled on him, While with him they rode in the cars.

I'd seal his lips, with a waxen kiss, They could not unlock in the cars.

Song of the Mystic.

[Father Ryan, the author of this exquisite poeui, is styled the Poet-Priest of the South, and resides in Mobile, Ala. }

I walk down the Valley of Silence, Down the dim, voiceless valley alone, And | hear not the sound ef a footstep Around me, but God’s and my own; And the hush of my heart is as holy As hevers where angels have flown.

~~

Long ago was I weary of voices W hose music my soul could not win ; Leng ago wasI weary of noises) ‘That fretted my soul with their din ; Long ago was weary of places Where met but the human and sin.

I walk in the world with the worldly,

Yet I craved what the world never gave ; And [ said, in the world each ideal

That shines like a star on life’s wave, Is toned on the shores of the real

An sleeps like a dream in the grave.

Aud stili did I pine for the perfect, n And still found the false with true; 1 sought ‘mid the Human of Heaven, And caught a mere glimpse of its blue; And | sighed when the clouds of the mortal Veiled even that glimpse from my view.

And | toiled on, heart-tired of the Human, An groaned mid the masses of men ; Till 1 knelt long ago at an altar, An: heard a voice callme. Since then I wal down the Valley of Silence

} That lies far beyond human ken. t | Do you ask what I found in the Valley? ‘Tis my trysting place with the Divine, : And } fell at the feet of the Holy, An around me a voice said, ‘* Be mine !”’ ,.#

And ten rose from the depths of my soul An echo, ‘‘My heart shall be Thine.”’

Do you ask how I live in the Valley ? ae I weep, and I dream, and I pray, But my tears are as sweet as the dew-drops That fall on the rosesin May ; And my prayer, like a perfume from censor, Ascendeth to God night and day.

In the hush of the Valley of Silence I hear all the songs that I sing ;

And the music floats down the dim Valley Till each finds a word for a wing :

That to men like the doves of the deluge The message of peace they may bring.

| But far on the deep there are billows That never shall break on the beach, Pt. Add I have heard songs in the Silence

° That never shall float into speech ;

i And I have had dreams in the Valley Too lofty for language to reach.

And I have seen thoughts in the Valley, Ah, me! How my spirit was stirred ?

4 They wear holy veils on their faces : Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;

They pass down the Valley like Virgins, Too pure fer the touch of a word.

o Do you ask me the place of this Valley, To hearts that harrowed by care? J It lieth afar between mountains, And God and His angels are there ; And one is the dark mount of sorrow, and one the bright mountain of prayer.

k Is the French Republic Tottering ?

; Not many days age President Grevy sent « private message to Marshal Mac-

: Mahon urgently requesting him to call at the Elysee. The Duke of Magenta,

as may be supposed,has no overwhelm. ing desire to cultivate intimate secial . relations with his successor, but he i naturally thought it good taste to re- spond at once to the invitation of the Chief of the State, partly because such requests from supreme power are really commands and partly, perhaps, because > he is an old soldier and knows that su- : reme power has a habit of making itself disagreeable when flouted. When Marshal MacMahon arrived at the Elysee he found not only the President of the Republic waiting somewhat unxiously to receive him, but alse M. Gamatte, who had been closeted with the President for some time in earnest ie i conference. As soon as the prelimin- ; ary compliments were over these two eminent statesmen asked the not less eminent military man whether, in case

upon his sword?’ The Marshal look- ed grim, but after a little hesitation, answered something like ‘Yes.’ He was then informed that the government was compelled te confess that they had made a dangerous mistake in bringing the Chambers back to Paris, and that unhappily, trustworthy information led them to believe there would soon be

of a popular tumult, they might ‘ rely |:

ENCOURAGING IRISH INDUSTRIES.

The Duchess of Marlberough, in en- ceuraging the development of lrish inlus- tries, has given orders that Dublin Cestle be draped with curtains of silk figured terry poplin. The design selected is exceedit gly beautiful, the chief feature being the royal crown, worked over an arrangement of shamrocks. The drawing rooms at Bel- heim Palace, the English seat of the Vice- Regal family, are also being thoroughly embellished with the same fabric. Here the design on the poplin will consist of an arrangement of the ducal cornets and monograms surrounded by the Star of the Order of St. Patrick. ‘The object of uhis movement is to bring the Irish poplin gen- erally into use as a fabric for upholstery ana decoration.

Dear Str—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre. duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to seg if the cure would remain permanent before do. ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before] suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par. ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying | I would feel like smothering and be com to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used 4 quarter ef the contents of one bottle I found decided ve- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite clear ef that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath. some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,
