The following is a plain English version of Excelsior :
The shadows of night were a comin’ down swift,-
And the dazzlin" snow lay drift on drift,
As thro’ a village a youth did go,
A chrryin’ a flag with this molto— .
Higher !
O’er a forehead high curled copious hair,
His nose a Roman, complexion fair,
O’er an eagle eye an auburn lash,
And he never stopp'd shontin’ thro‘ his moustache,
' ’ I Higher 1
He saw thro’ the windows as he kept gettin’ upper,
A number of families settin’ at supper,
But he eycd the slippery rocks very keen,
And fled a's he cried, and cried while a fieein’—
Higher l
“ Take care, you there i” said an old woman, “ stop 1
It's blowiu’ gales up there on top—
Yon’ll tumble oil on t’other side 1”
But the hurryin’ stranger loud replied,
. Higher 1'
“ Oh i. don’t yomgo up such a shocking night,
Come sleep on my lap, said a maiden br'ght,
On his Roman nose is tear-drop come,
But still he remarked as he upward clomb,
Higher !
“ Look out for the branch of that sycamore tree,
Dodge rollin’ stones, if any you see l” /
Sayin’ which, the. farmer went home to bed,
And the singular voice replied Overhead,

About quarter past six the next afternoon,
A man accidentally goin" up soon ,
Heard spoken above him as often as twice,
'lhe very same word in a very weak voice,
Higher 1
And not for, ”I believe, from quarter of seven,
He was slow gettin.’ up, the road bein’ uneven,
Found the stranger dead ih the drifted snow,
Still clutchin’ the flag with the motto—

Yes i lifeless, defunct, withoutany doubt,
The lamp of his being decidedly out,
On the dreary hill-side the youth was a layin",
And there was no more use for him to be sayiu’

The Voiceless.
BY 0. W. HOLMES.
We count the broken lyres that rest
Where_the sweet and wailing singers slumber,—
But o’er their silent sister’s breast
, The wild flowers who will stoop to number?
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them ;—
Alas, for those that never sing, ~
But die with all their music in them 1
- h
Nay, grieve not for Ike dead alone,
Whose song has told their heart’s sad story,—
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the crown of glory !
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
O’er Sappho’s memory-haunted blllow,
But where the glistening nighbdews weep
0n nameless sorrow’schurch-yard pillow.
0 hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lip and faded tresscs,
Till death pours out his cordial wine
Slow-dropped from misery’s crushing presses,—
If singing breath or echoing
To every hidden pang were given.
What endless memories were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as.hcaveu !

OUR QUEER PAPA.
'A CASE OF ORGANIC AFFECTION.
I
It was glorious June at the summer
resort of Old Babylund. Bathing the
world about that placid place in lose and
gold, and luxurious shadow ;thrilliug the
car with bee murmurs and the sighs of
grain swept by the gales afield ; booming
in the ripples of the close-by lake, with a
smile that said, “ Come, lie on my breast
——be kissed by me,” flooding ’ with a
peaceful yet earnest sense or delicious
life, all men, women, boys and girls, ba-
bies, trees, universal being, that dwelt in
the fragrant tranquillity of Old' Baby-
land. - '
Oh, that was a beautiful place 1—,
Good people who go to the springs—surf
floundering peOple whom I love—ye who
do all summer the some things ye have
been doing all winter, in better places,
and less room to do them in, pcrrcuniul
Slx-timeS-a-day dressers, bore-martyred,
bill-distressed, mosquito-bitten, sulphur-
drenched souls—envy me i For Old
Bahyland is a nook among the mountains,
for, for up on the top ofSullivan County,
where fashion cometh not, but home hop-
pmess goeth with you, where nature has
never been dethroned, and civilization
sits from June to September at her feet,
drinking in her eloquent music, learning
her Wise, sweet lessons with joyful meek-
ness. To the wide piazza of the mansion
househclose by the singing ripples and
the thicket of laurel-rose, among the high-
land blrches, and beeches and evergreens
solace-d by the birds and the echoes of
Kaw-na-ong-gu, “The lake that ever is
s1lver whltc,” come the fathers, the moth-
e_|'S. the young men and maidens, and the
little children, to live their too short
three months of hearty simplicity, loving
one another, each truthful with each.
gathering cheek-roses and eye-dew, and
growmg strong for the labors that must
meet them again on the autumn verge of
Old ‘Babylond. To be there, oh my
Mouth, was like 'tnking a run out into
Paradise for a shortvccation from 'natu-
ml depravity.
Old Babylaud was asurprisc to me—
oltogether. - All day I had bean jolted
m an ancient stage over a road described
by an Irishlfriend of mine, as half way
up the secofld bill before you are down
the first, along all sorts of highly danger-
ous and picturesque precipices, through
tun bark peelings, all overflowed by
black turns, where the great dead trees
stood like monster,unshectcd ghdsts,shiv-
eriug, ankle deep,’in the chilly waters of
Styx, waiting for a Charon who would
not come. And of a sudden, at sun-
down, we burst without warning upon
Old Babyland ; right out of the dense
dark pines, us one might say, pop 1 or
that other word of traditional celerity,
the name of the late John Robinson.
It was like feeling in the pockets of a
qncer, old, cast off pair of pnntaloons, and
pulling out a gold-eagle. To an author
that'wbnld be a delightful surprise, but
not so greats. one as this exquisite place
with all its specialities of lake and cloud
beautilul, natural women, manly mcn,
wild, little, 'huppy children, and hearty
welcome. ; .
On the day-after I arrived there, the
, Old Bobylanders had a celebration. I
forget what it was for, ' but 'no . matter ;
they had them most allgthe time and on
the. slightest \provocation. Sometimes
somebody’s birthday was the auspicious
occasion '; then again it was a new wharf
for the pleasure-boats, which, by the un-
bounded munificence and sleepless indus-
try of somebody else among the gentle-v
men, had been erected for the Old Baby-
~ loaders, and must be consecrated with
speeches, feasting and song. The beauty
of Old Babylond was this peculiarity—
that we looked throughjrose-colored con-
~.vex spectacles at every pleasant little
thing, till it seemed big and beautiful
enough to be commemorated by perpetu-
al lilmtions. l verily believe that if Mr.
W.-I)ubbleyow, one ,of the most distin-
guished of our community, had bought a.
new pair of boots without keeping it very
" private, we should all of us’ have taken
him out with us six miles to a grove be-
hind a potato patch, and made him put
them on, in connection with 'a congratu-
latory address, on original poem, and six
songs composed for the occasion to popu-
lar airs. After which, we should proba-
bly have had a corn roast and some lem-
onade. ' .
The day ofthis particular celebration
opened clear and fair. Kawma-oug-gn
was more silvery than ever. The breeze
was a delicious southeastern. All na-
turxe appeared ready for the pic-nic with
us
That is the difference between town
and country happiness. Be jolly in the
woods, and all out-doors will seem going
on your good time with you. But who
ever expects Stewart’s, or Tifi'any’s, or
Haughtworts to show any exhiliaration
at the fact that he is going to hear Gaz-
zinga in “ Linda” or to Mrs F eudejoie’s
grand fancy ball ?
Amidst these .. sympathetic surround-
ings I friskcd alon g, the gayest of the
party. An author getting up his suscep-
tibility to the picturesque, washing the
massed soul he had worn through all the
gains of town in great bath of forest
other, blue-lug it in that sky which is
warranted to take out all the sallow-
ness !
There were two detachments to our
picnic that «lay—No. 1. the Oldstcrs;
‘No. 2, the Youngsters—a state of things
which seldom occurred at Old Babylund,
'wherc we were all children for the sum-
mer, and wrinkles dropped out of their
significancy as territorial boundaries of
life, becoming only ideal lines of latitude
and longitude. But: to-day the c..ilercn
took into their little heads to pinic by
tlICInSClves—to sac how it would Seem,
to have their own particular jollity ; and
as an eminent favor, they made Inc the.
only exception among the big ones, and
took me along because I could tell mouse
stories.
In a little, cramped, baby hand, with
the letters snuggling up grotesquely
against one another, like a row of hastilv
stacked mnskcts, the s Igest and most ex-
ecutin- of my juveniles, had prepared the
following programme for the day :
PROGRAMME—(A Flo-smug.
1. Getting our things on and Walking there.
2. fixing the table and entertaining each other
3. A Mouse-story, from Mr. Charles Washing-
ton Bird -'
4. A harly laugh

I had finished my mouse-story, and was
answering as fast as I could as to what
became of the mouse afterward, and
whether his tail, which had been cut off
by the trap, ever grew out again, when
I saws very pretty face peering out with
a look of intense interest from a clump of
rhodendhrous which concealed the rest of
its possessor. The children caught. a
glimpse of it at the some time, and
jumped up from their seats on the dead
pine leaves, crying, “ Clear out—go away
-—you’re grown up I”
Elsie London, that was the interloper’s
name, emerged from her screen, and lift-
ing'her little whitehands in pleading gos-
tnre Sold, '
.“ Pleuse—p‘lease—let me stay here'
with you, I like it so much—and I am
not very big.”
That last was true. It was equally
true that she was not vcry little. And
truer yet, if there can be .any compara-
tive of that adjective, that. had you been
asked whether she was a child or a woman
you W0uld not have known where to put
her. Whether she was a child with one
of those body ontktripping minds, or a
woman with a great unsoilcd heart that
had not forgotten its snatches of cradle
talk with the angels, I don’t. know to this
dav.
But as she stood there «a visible fact
to be dISposcd of by the rigid youngster:
judges, I doubt whether any such philo-
sophic analysis much occupied their minds.
She looked so very young, just then, as
she stood pleading, that the instinct ruth-
er than the logic of the children said “ let
her stay.” So she staid.
Her age, as we count years, was eiglr-
teen. Her form, the freshly blossomed
woman, her height, five feet, her com-
plexion, marble struck tln‘ough with rose
flush. Pygmnlion’s statue wifc wore the
same when she first woke in his arms to
know she was a woman. Her hair, dark,
waving, glossy brown, droopod low be-
hind. Eyes of the some dyc,long lashed,
and thoughtful. Her nose just aqnilinc
enough not to bc Grecian; her mouth,
rose-buds that kissed each other, but al-
together too varying from the unrestrain-
ed wood-luugh to the grave look of puzzle
when she said,“ Why ! do you think so 1?”
to be measured like the ruins in a guide-
book. I lold you of her little white hands
—shull I speak of the twinkling wondrous
little feet? The ferns that she flitted
over were kissed by them and did not tell.
Nor will I. Though allttle foot, and an
ankle that melts into it out of . its own
smallnbssnre not the least gifts of a bean-
tiliul girl. And Elsie Landon was beauti-
fu .
Now I hope you will know why I
thought, as the girl sat leaning on her
round, shining little head against the
trunk of the birch whose root served her
as a chair, that she was an object well
worth. being looked at.
“ What in the world put into your
head to come here among the babies?”
sold I. “ The grown-up people are dy-
ing to hear you sing, and there are at
least six very good-looking young gentle-
men among their party, any one Of whom
would give his best trout rod for the
pleasure of showing you some now walk
through the. woods, or a blossomy bank
that was particularly retired and roman-
tic. th here you are' with these chil-
dren l”
“ I was a child myself, nota day ago,"
answered Elsie Landon, “ and do you be-
lieve, I=ucver got quite over it. At home
in New York, when they want me to
come down stairs and ‘entertnin company,
just as like as not I will be sailing paper
boats, and making believethe pictures on
the bottom of the bowl are a: sea-buried
city, just like the pretty Norman story.—
I sometimes blow bubbles too, though you
mustn’t tell any one. I know it is dread—
fully improper.” _
It was very natural that, under the cir-
cumstances, I should have done just as I
did. The tremendous yawning chasm be-
tween twenty-five and eighteen made me
feel very paternal. The children were
not noticing they had come to that part
of the programme marked as the “ harty
laugh” and needed no assistance from
us, so I took the little white hand in mine
as a favorite gray-headed uncle might
have done, kept it there, caressing it ten-
derly, and said :
9‘ Yes, Elsie, you need an older, an ex-
perienced person who has seen a great
deal of the world, to advise you, to teach
you, somebody like me—for instance.”—
Wbereupon I felt, and looked perhaps, a
hundred years old.
“ Oh, that is the'very thing i” cried
Elsie, clapping her hands, “ the very
thing Ibave wanted, oh, so long. And
may I always come to you when I don’t
know what to do ? Whenpapa keeps on
smoking and says, ‘Just as you ‘ please,
dear,’ and moms keeps on knitting end-
less Shetland shawls. but answers, ‘Ask
your papa’, may I come then ?”
Exactly, that was the very time. And
I would always tell her the infalllbly
right thing to do or say. I, the dispos-
sionntc and reliable Delphi, aged 9. quar-
ter of a century. . It was settled. And
it would be splendid.
Just then all the children got through
their hearty laugh and began to cry out
looking over the shoulder of little Julia
Post, the, infant manager who h kl the
programme. “A song from Mr. C. W.
Bird 1” , ,
I sing a very good baritone, have to-
ken prominent part in several private op-
eras, why was it then, that my voice fal-
torcd in the oadcnzas of the frog that
would a wooing go without any regard-
to the peculiar preferences of his moth-
er? .Probnbly because I was somewhat
oppressed by the responsibility of having
become the counsellor of Old Babyalnd’s
prettiest girl on the first day of my ac
quaintance with her. . ‘
“Men I had concluded the last trill—'
dwelling with delightful effect upon the
“ Hey. Anthony Roly,”——we all stood up
in a ring on the pine leaves and had
“ Oats peas beans and barley grows.”—
Oh, such frank exhibitions of preference,
such guileless selections of the best loved,
without fear of outsiders. Why in the
world must children nl0nc possess this
charming gift of genuine loving and frcc
confession? I believe that when the
golden age comes back again, the poor,
young,'honest book-keeper down town
the author who has only brains, will
come up to dance “ Outs peas beans and
barley grows” with their best beloved in
Madison Square, and monfully cull the
young ladies into the ring to chant the
child marriage lay together with a matu-
rer meaning, own the maids, now no long-
or frowning, will gild the choral scene
with ratifying smiles. But that is kept
for the by-and-by ,
At last I found myself standing in the
middle—an object- to he kissed and wed-
ded. The little girl who had called me
in just grazed my lips with her own and
then ran away. After which, with one.
shout, my young Old Babylanders cried
that I must call for some one.
“ Little Mary Post i” No—Mr. Bird’s
moustache \vomd scratch her. " Lizzie
Lincoln, then l” She had been kissed
enough for one day. I declare—it was
a regular conspiracy—all the little girls
excused themselves, and, before I knew
it, I had named the whole ring, clear
around. to Elsie London. As I came to
her I stopped and hositatcd—-she stood
there, blushing at the prospective possi-
bility of being kissed, and looked the wo-
man to such a degree that, had her appli-
catioa been made then, the children would
have denied her leave to stay, as being
utterly too grown up. Really, for a min-
ute I didn’t know what to do. But, boys
and girls, all the ring down to the tiniest,
begun torlumor for my choice, crying,
"‘ Take her ! takehcr l” and that; decided
me to regard it as child-ploy, and do as I
would have done fifteen years before. I
clasped the timid white hand in my own,
and. lCll Elsie into the middle, saying,
“ Are you willing? It is all play, you
know—besides, I am to be your monitor,
and it pleases them so.”
Plcuscs them l—venemblc hypocrite of
one score and live l Yet a downright fib
would have been hardly too much deprav-
ity to risk for such a chance.
“ Open the ring
And take her in.
And kiss her when you’ve got her in 1”
So our lips mct'. \Vcll Was it that the
children laughed and thought it good
sport—--well was it that that laughter woke
me up from my dream of ravislnnent——or,
so far as Mr. Charles Washington Bird
had anything to say upon the subject, we
should have bccp kissing there even unto
this day—-a monument as enduring us
Lot’s wife, and several billion times as
pleasant.
For as the honey-bee dailies with the
lurk-spur, and flirts about the spires, and
just bonds the tall spear 0f the golden
rod, but, coming to the purple stameucd
lily, absolutely luvishes himself thereon,
and dies singing in her wondrous sweet-
abode, with a sense of long sought fitness
found at last, so did I—(who in my wun-
derings had kissed lllyrian girls under
their plane trees between moonlight and
the Adrian Sea, maidens of Madrid
through the jalousics whose blissfully tor-
menting bars let. in nothing else but star-
light ;ycn, let me speak the bank though
my cars be boxed—one or two of my own
sweet countrywomen ulso)—kiss‘ Elsie
London. For those lips of hers—I could
swear it were an untasted fountain, kept
pure and uect-nrine for me to come to
them ; and I had come. My only grief
was that I had over kissed anyone be-
fore l
Ycry rosy, and much pretticrthercby,
Miss Landon stood on the outside again,
and the little holder of the programme
declared that the glass of this day’s ccle:
brstion had been drained to the dregs
numbers 7 and 8—“ Getting ready ’to go
home” and “ Going h’ome’t-gwhich perfor-
mance time accomplished. . '
That evening I sat on the broad piaz-
za, "of the Old Bubylund Mansion House,
smoking my plantation. I was buried in
the deepest thought. The laugh of fox-
and-gecse playing children thrilled at my
elbow—the gay ‘prome’noders marched
hither and thither behind me, singing as
they went. And from far off on the lake
came the shrill cry of rowers trying the
cove and headland echoes. I noticed
none of them. Suddenly came a. little
footfqu close by my chair, and a pathetic
young face, half in shadow, half in moon-
light, bent over my shoulder.» _ »
“ Are you sick to-uight, Mr. Dlrd ?”
I started, and saw Elsie. ‘
“ No, I am not sick, but asking myself
questions. And having been brought up
to be dutiful to my superiors, I have the
habit of being so to myself, and always
to answer. But this question I can’t un-
swer myself—perhaps yon'can. Let me
get you a chnir—here—sit down, please.”
“ Oh, thank you ! Now for your cat-
echism.” - '
“ Very well. I kissed you today, you
were not angry?”
” No—that is—yes—no—I mean, no ;
but I am afraid papa and mama would-
thiok it was very improper.”
“ Very well answered for no- 1. Now
for No. 2. Were you ever kissed before
by any gentleman since you have been a
woman ?”
“ What a funny question on the part of
saucy Mr. Birt .”
“ Never mind ; answer it unless you
have great objections. I ask because I
very much wsnt'to know ?” ‘
“ I was always as much a woman as I
’am now, except perhaps, that there was
a t'mc when it would not have made me
blush to be kissed. Since then, nobody
ever (llll it butpupu, till you. Does that
do ?” ,
" Pcrfectlymnd I am very much obliged
to you.” '
“ But why do you want to know ?”
“ I hope, certainly, to .tell you some
time. Just now, shall we walk with thb
rcst ?”
“ If you please, I should like to”
My own questioning was at an end.—
I knew what I had suspected, and I re-
solved that, come what might, so far as a .
kind Providence and Mr. C.~ IV. Bird
could co-nperutc harnmniously, nobody
thcncel'orth should kiss Elsie Landon.—
Thc resolution \Vlls quickly taken, and
strengthened-by an hour’s wolk tlierouf—'
ter, in which her little soft hand was
drawn more closely than utility demand

the resolution in.

this exotic is Mr. Hang “’hnng. Mr.

four weeks. He untile his debut with
his nnmentiouables next his skin, and his~

Hong Kong. A week afterwards he laid
Chinese trowscrs aside audtook to Market
Street pants. The next. week he left off
his blue frock,’und come out in a dress
coat, the tail sturchcd so stiff that you
might have used it for a boot-jack. The
next change was to purchase a. \Vurbur-
ton hat, and to convert his former one in-
to a portable money draWer. We yester—
day found him entirely trunsmogrified in-
to an uIItl-CclestiaI—his Chinese boots
traded off for broguns; and his pigtails
braided up behind his cars likclast year’s
