What the Thought which Underlies Nature's masking and disguise. What it is that hides beneath Blight and bloom and birth and death, By past efforts unavailing, Doubt and error, loss and failing, Of our weakness made aware, Ou the threshold of our task Let us pause in silent prayer!” Then the Manier In his place Bowed his head a little space, And the leaves by soft airs stirred, Lapse of wave and cry of bird Left the solemn hush unbroken Of that wordless prayer Unspoken, While its wish, on eatth unsaid, Rose to heaven intepreted. As, in life's best hours, we hear By the spirit's finer ear His low voice within us, thus The All-Father heareth us; And His holy ear we pain With our noisy words and vain. Not for Him our violence Storming at the gates of sense, His the primal language, His The eternal silences! Even the careless heart was moved, And the doubting gave assent. With a gesture reverent, To the Master well-beloved. As thin mists are glorified By the light they cannot hide. All who gazed upon him saw, Through ita vail of tender awe, How his face was uplift By the old sweet look of It, Hopeful, trustful, full of cheer' And the love that casts out fear. Who the secret may declare O f that brief, unuttered prayer? Did the shade before him come Of th’ inevitable doom, Of the end of earth so near, And Eternity’s new-year? In the lap of sheltering seas Rests the isle of Penekese; But the lord-of the domain Comes not to his own again; Where the eyes that follow fall, On a vaster sea his sail Drifts beyond our beck and hail) Other lips within its bound 8hnll the laws of life rxpotftnl; Other eyes from rook and shell Read the worlds old riddlss wellt But when breesee light and bland Blow from summer's blossomed land. When the air is glad with wings And the blithe song-sparrow sings, Many an eye with his still face Shall the living tmea displace, Many an ear the word shall seek He alone could fitly speak. And one name foevermore Shall be uttered o’er and o’er By the wave« that kiss the shore, By the curlew’s whistle sent Down the cool, sea-scented air; In all voices known to her Nature own her worshiper, Half in triumph, half lament, Thither love shall tearful turn, Friendship paused uncovered there, And the wisest reverence le a n From the Master's silent prayer. —CAridhi h Union* WHEAT AND FLOUR EXPORTS. The following statistics of vrhea and flour imported into Great Brit ain from Russia and the United States, from June 1, 1860 to Sep tember 30,1873, are furnished by the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington, and is therefore wholly reliable. It is a very interest ing comparison, inasmuch as Russia has been the principal source of sup ply of bread for England. The amount furnished by the United States is now considered in excess of that furnished by Russia: Cwts. Bushels.
