Swallows. t Wide fields of air left luminous Though now the uplands comprehend How the sun's loss is ultimate: The silence grows; but still to us From yon air-winnowing breasts elate The tiny shrieks of glee descend. Deft wings, each moment is resigned Some touch of day, some pulse of light, While yet in poised, delicious curve, Ecstatic doublings down the wind, Light dash and dip and sidelong swerve, You try each dainty trick of flight. Will not your airy glee relent At all ? The aimless frolic cease ? Know ye no touch of quelling pain, Nor joy's more strict admonishment, No tender awe at daylight's wane, Ye slaves of delicate caprice? Hush, once again that cry lktense I High-venturing spirits have your will 1 Urge the last freak, prolong your glee, Keen voyagers, while still the immense Sea-spaces haunt your memory, With zests and pangs ineffable. Not in the sunshine of old woods Ye won your warrant to be gay By duteous sweet observances, Who dared through darkening solitudes, And 'mid the hiss of alien waves, The larger ordinance obey. 0

The Characteristics of a Bully There is no animal, how contemptible soever, that will venture boldly to face the turkey cock, that he will not fly from. With great insolence, however, on the other band, he pursues everything that seems to fear him, particularly lap-dogs and children, against both which he seems to have a peculiar aversion. On such occasions, after he has made them scamper, lie returns to his female train, displays hi* plumage around, struts about the yard, and gobbles out a note ef self-approbation. In fact, he exemplifies* all the. characteristics of a bully. Like the human bully, he is cfficious, in- solent, and loves self-display. His victories are trumperv, yet he is full of self-applause. He is an arrant coward, and therefore struts and swaggers and delights in brag. GOLDSMITH. — Q m

National Rivalry. I do not know of anything more ludicrous among the self-deceptions of well-meaning people than their notion of patriotism, as requiring them to limit their efforts t.o the good of their country- the notion that charity is a geographical virtue, and that what is holy and righteous to do for people on one bank of a river is quite improper and unnatuial to do for people on the other. One magnificent attribute of the colouring of the late twelfth, and the whole thirteenth, and the early fourteenth century was the union of one colour with another by reciprocal in- terference, that is to say, if a mass of red is to be set beside a mass of blue, a piece of the red will be carried into the bine, and the reverse, sometimes in nearly equal proportions. And I call it a magni- ficent principle, for it is an eternal and universal one, not. in art only, but in human life. It is the .great principle of brotherhood, not by equality, nor by likeness, but by giving and receiving the souls that are unlike, and the nations that are unlike, and the natures that are unlike, being bound into one noble whole, by each receiv- ing something from and of the other's gifts and the other's glory, RUSKIN.

Opening Manhood. « There is a charm in opening manhood which has commended itself to the imagination in every age. The undefined hopes and promises of the iuture- the dawning strength of intellect—the vigorous flow of passion—the very exchange of home ties and protected joys for free and manly pleasures, give to this period an interest and excitement ianfelt, perhaps, at any other. It is the beginning of life in the sense of independent and self-support- ing action. Hitherto life has been to boys, as to girls, a derivative and dependent existence-a packer from the parent growth, a home discipline of .authority sfrid guidance, and communicated impulse. But henceforth it is a transplanted growth of its own-a new and free power of activity, in which the mainspring is no longer authority or law from without, but principle or opinion from within. The shoot which has been Gourished under the shelter of the parent stem, and bent according to its inclination, is transferred to the open world, where, of its own impulse and character, 4t must take root, and grow into strength, or sink into weakness and vice. There is a natural pleasure in such a change. The sense of freedom is always joyful, at least, at first. The mere consious- ness of awakening powers and prospective work touches with elation the youthful breast. But to every right-hearten youth this time must also be one ot severe iriai. Anxiety must greatly dash its pleasure. There must be regrets behind, and uncertainties before. The thought ot home must excite it pang, even in the first moments of freedom. Its triad shelter, its kindly guidance, its very restraints, how dear and tender must they seem in parting j How brightly must they shine in the retrospect as the youth turns from them to the hardened and unfamiliar face of the world. With what a sweet, ,,[, lty-clieci-ing pathos, must they linirer in the memory. And then wha;tfhance and hazard is there in his newly. gotten freedom What instincts of warning in its very novelty and dim inexperience What possibilities of failure, as well as of success, in the unknown .future, as it stretches before him, TULLOCH.

From Caron's Battlements. BY "PHILIP SIDNEY." Two experiences, each unique in its way for me have been mine of late, one was to enjoy a walk from Tregaron to Aberystwyth, with visits to Strata Florida, Ystrad Meurig, &c, en route; the other to see the moon rise in silent beauty from the battlements of Tregaron Church Tower, and to view from its summit a picture, the like of which comes not too often in every day life. Of the walk and its incidents I shall write by and bye, of the view let me now say something. There is ever a fresh charm in seeing something —be it never so well known to you-from an un- common point of sight, and more especially is this the case when you are on an elevation and can see the place spread out like a map beneath you. I So it was from Caron's Tower on this memorable night of which I write, there beneath was the town wrapped in a sable mantle, specked out with twinkling lights, and before long bathed in the silvery light of a glorious moon, well nigh waxed to her full; the rays playing on our faces, and the dark stones of the battlements. We had carefully mounted by the turret steps winding our way aloft by the spiral stairs, worn and well worn too to the first landing by the foot steps of many a young Caronite, in former century who had thus mounted to the little room where the Welsh Charity School was wont to be held. In this chamber,—which in passing let me say would now make an excellent muniment room- can still be seen on the walls the istains caused by the smoke of the peat fires kindled there for warmth so far back as 1821. The next landing above is devoted to the belfry chamber, where hangs the one large bell placed there a few years since, with the inscription in raised letters on the outer rim:—" To the Glory of God And Memory of the Rev Octavius Davies, M.A., Vicar of this parish 11870-1887. ) The gift of parishoners and friends. Yet another climb up more flights of even steps, passing at regular intervals the loop holes which pierce the deep walls, and through which the cool night air blows in, bringing with it the sound of the babbling Brenig, merrily passing on its way to the sea, in the valley below us. Pushing open the door at the head of the stairs we step out on the leaded battlements. What a sight is that now meeting the eyes I Below is the little grey town divided into two parts by that noisy Brenig brook, tumbling over its bed of rough stones. The older of the two portions of the town is that known as Doldre," i.e., Town Mead. Some of the higher house tops are already kissed by the rising moon, which casts a weird halo on them, and witk the deep dark patches of shadow, yet unlighted, the whole scene is more like a dream than a reality. Beyond the town to the north can be traced the great Caron Bog, always of interest to any who will lie interested in it. Without doubt, could it be properly worked this bog might be made a source of income and profit to Tregaron. Given a working capital and a head who really does understand the subject of peat and its packing there is, one would thir.k, no reason why portions of Cors Caron should not be so profitably worked as those of its neighbouring bog known as Whixal Matis. Science has recently discovered the possibilities of peat as a fuel. Mechanical ingenuity has devised plant which promises it is said, to convert bog- especially Irish bog-into property more valuable than the Russian petroleum fields. This plant for the working daily of 1000 cubic r, yards of bog can be readily installed, and these 1000 yards will yield 300 tons of peat fuel at a cost of 3s 6d, to 5s per ton. It is said, I believe with much truth that the new peat fuel is practically smokeless and odour- less, beingalmost free from carbon or hydro-carbon, j excepting as primarily contained in the peat. j Its specific gravity calorific properties, and clean- liness are also very powerful recommendations, in its favour. It burns with a brilliant flame, yields immense heat and is remarkably lasting, all which qualities unless-I mistake have been reliably tested, not once nor twice by Mr W. T. Jones of TregarA, who has 80 thoroughly mastered the whole of the question and the capabilities of the bog as regards Tregaron. In vie.v of the facts recently demonstrated it is pleasant to remember that Ireland alone has 3,000,000 acres of great bogs, while the rest of the the kingdom possesses another two and a half million acres. Who shall say that Cors Caron may not yet be a source of revenue to Tregaron, and to the Man- chester and Milford Railway, which so consider- ately runs along its verge, thus giving would be financiers and others an admirable idea of its rariety, and its situation ? N One cannot but admire the dogged pertinacity which has long characterised the acts of Mr W. T. Jones in bringing the possibilities of this bog before all inte rested persons-it is to be feared that in one case at least he has been cheated somewhat extensively by sharpers who, with that business which characterizes the doings of such men, took all they could get from him and left him to pay the piper, Not only does the Bog yield unlimited peat of excellent quality, but clay can also be procured, which when fired turns into a dark grey substance, very light in weight. The whole subject of this great Bog is one well worthy of being thoroughly worked up and placed- before the public. As it is at present, we know far too little about it, but that little is good, and like Oliver Twist we ask for more.' As we look down from the battlements we see immediately below us the crowded graveyard which «urrounds the church. The massive grave stone, about which I wrote a few weeks since, commemorating James Herbert of Ptn Sheriff, and which he conveyed with his own hands to the church yard, is now built into the exterior of the southern wall of the chancel, but with the inscription turned inwards and the unhewn back of the stone to the front 11 H Its immense size easily distinguishes it from the other Btonefl of which the wall is built. Surely it would be possible to immediately raise the few shillings which would be needed to pay for the labour of taking this grave-stone out., and at least turning it round so as to bring any inscription to view. Better still would it be to fill its place with two or three other stones and put Herbert's memorial stone straight up against the chancel wall, to which if necessary it could be firmly secured. Cannot vicar, churchwardens and sidesmen J between them do this simple act of justice to their j erstwhile parishoner ere the season set in, and so | have yet another interesting object to shew their I visitors when they come to Tregaron ? Again, in looking over the battlements, my eye lighted on the spot where once stood the town stocks. Why not mark it by a simple board "Here stood the stocks" ? It is wonderful the amount of interest which can be excited in these places, somewhat more remote from the rush of busy life, by little attentions, such as these. As we closed the vestry door and came out into the clear moonlight and cool evening air, the thought passed through my mind as to the advis- ability of placing on the market a series of unique and interesting photographs of much that I had Ii seen, e.g. Tregaron from the Church Tower (two I views) Stocks and Churchyard (from an original | sketch known to the writer); first page of the Great Register Page of the White Book; Church Tower; Doldre Hanging Bridge. The original cost would be more than met by sale to visitors and residents, and a constant source I of profit accrue to the owner of the negatives. Verily, much might be done to add further interest to the many quaint bits spread out in that glorious panorama which is viewed with so much advantage from Caron's Battlements.

LLANBADARN. PETTY SESSIONS.—The monthly petty sessions were held at the Magistrates' Room on Thursday last, before Messrs J. S. Morgan, Nicholas Bray, Thomas Griffiths, G. H. Bonsall, Thomas Jamei, and Major Hugh Bonsall.—Thomas Morgan, rate collector, Newport, summoned William Robgent, Newport, for non-payment of rates, amounting to £4 5s Id. The case was adjourned until the next meeting.

LLANGEITHO. APPOIN.TMEN.T--The Rev W. Foster Jones, B.A., curate of Minera, Wrexham, has been appointed chaplain in his Majesty's fleet. He will commerce duties sometime before September next. Mr Jones is the son of P.C. Jones, Llangeitho.

LLANON. WEDDING.—On Friday, the 26th of April, Capt. David Lewis Jenkins, Portland street, Llanon, and Miss Mary Jane Davies, Lima House, Llanon, were united together in the bonds of holy matrimony. The ceremony was solemnised in London. The happy couple will spend their honeymoon at Ghent, Holland. CENSUS.—The Census returns show an alarming decrease of 210 in the population of Llansantffraid during the last 10 years. An explanation is not far to find. A little army of brave and stalwart men, with their native village stamped on their every movement, support their families by following mercantile pursuits; whilst during the last 10 years the number of people who have journeyed to the metropolis and other places in the common search after wealth is far beyond the above mentioned decrease. PARISH COUNCIL.—At a meeting of the Parish Council recently held in the Upper Schoolroom, the following were appointed to the various offices:- Chairman-Mr Thomas (chemist), Postmaster; vice-chairman, Mr T. Richards, Pantyrodyr.; clerk, Rev Evan Davies, Llanprisc; treasurer, Capt. Jones, Sunny Villa. The former councils can only look at two things and call them their own, viz, the drainage in the Waun, and the two devoted signs, one at each end of the village. These signs, which have many a time been given up for lost, bear the name of the late chairman of the Parish Council and consequently it has been suggested that the inscription should be changed. OBITUARY.—This week we have to chronicle the death and burial of Morgan E. Lewis, Moelfryn Mawr, Bethania, at the early age of 27. The deceased had lately been studying at Ystradmeurig and Emlyn Grammar Schools, and bad been successful in the entrance examination to Trevecca College. After patiently enduring a long illness, be was removed to the Aberystwyth Infirmary, but had to be taken home again where he died on the following day. The officiating minister was the Rev W. A. Jones, Chaplain to His Majesty's forces stationed at Woolwich. Beautiful wreaths had been sent by his fellow students at Emlyn Grammar School and others. LIGHT RAILWAY.—A meeting in connection with this movement was called together by the Guardians of Llansantffraid on the 26th April. Among others, there were also present Mr E. Mor- gan, C.C., Mr Jenkin Lewis, C.C., and Mr D. Mor- gan James, C.C. Mr E. Morgan took the chair, and called upon Mr S. Davies to open his case. Mr Davies,in plain words, said that at the last meeting of the Guardians, Mr J. M. Howell had proposed to take the sum of £20 out of the funds of the Union in order to make up the £125 deposit money. He (Mr Davies) had opposed the motion and had gained over to his side all the guardians present except three. Mr J. M. Howell, consiotis that the heat was beyond endurance, and that the vice was tightening, persuaded him to withdraw his opposition alleging as his excuse the shortness of time. Mr Davies did so, but a few days afterwards he was surprised to see certain persons from Aber- ayron, viz Mr Munro Hughes, Mr B. C. Jones, and Mr D. Pennant-James, collecting at Llanon in aid of the railway. They had no intention of refund- ing the money taken out of the funds of the Union, but before the day was over they had Z20 in hand. He should like to know the intention of the Aber- ayronites touching the above-mentioned £20. Capt. Sinnett Jones, Carlton, and Capt. Richards, Panteg, then spoke. The Rev E. Davies asked the chairman a difficult question, but it was promptly answered. Now ensued a battle royal between Dr Lewis, and Capt. Jones, Tynyffynon. In closing the meeting the Chairman said that it had been a most successful meeting, and more over he took the trouble of diclosing many mysteries and solving many prqblems relating to the light rail-4 scheme. The room was crammed, and the "Esprit de Corps" which pervaded the whole audience was very marked. At last, the following resolution was passed unanimously amid acclamation that we condemn the action of Mr J. M. Howell in drawing from the funds of the Union, money to support the Light Railway Scheme."

Llanfihangel y Creuddyn. SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT. This annual treat came off this year on Friday afternoon April 19th, being Primrose Day. The weather was very favourable, and a better day could not be expected. Tea was served in the school-room. and commenced soon after 4 o'clock. Eight families very kindly provided tea and cake for the occasion, namely those of the Rev J. P. Evans, vicar; Mr F. H. Rob- erts, Penywern Mr Richard Jenkins, Tanllan Mr James Rattray, Lisburne House; Mr John Jones, Minffordd; Mr Morgan Richards, Blaencynon Mr Joseph Jones, Abermagwr; and Ebenezer Davies, Cynon Fawr. The tables were presided over by many ladies connected with the above families. In the evening at seven a public meeting was held under the presidency of the Rev J. P. Evans, when to those that had lately passed the examination in nearly forty items in recitations, dialogues, and singing were gone through. About the middle of the programme, the vicar distributed certificates music in solffa college as follows Junior Ceitific- ates Mr J. W. James, Commins Miss Mary Anne Davies, Cynon Fawr Miss Ellen Sophia Hughes, Abertrinant; Mr William Thomas Henry Rattray, Lisburne House; Mr Thomas Hughes Davies, Cynon Fawr; Mr Edgar Henry Morgans, Village; Miss Margaret Ellen Evans, Dolauceunant; Miss Margaret Sophia Davies, Cynon Fawr.

Also as usual a good number of valuable and useful books were given away as prizes to members of the Sunday School for the year 1900. Mr Joseph Jones, Abermagwr, the Superintendent, read out the list, and the books were given away by the vicar. Then after paying thanks, the meeting was brought to a close by singing Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," Mr William Lewis I virls, Dolauceunant, the leader, taking up the solo.
