Whatt a child of three year's growth I
Nature then both known no cloth
In a work so fairly done
By thrice rounding of the sun.
Lol what wifely used power
Can accomplish hour by hour I
ETcry lineament Is drawn
With the genius of the dawn;
Every living curve Is bright,
With a dazzling m mlng light;
Every dimple Is a pool
Of ethereal vintage full.
Whenco a man might quaff and bo
King of more than kingdoms three.
Lk, her crown of golden curls
Mikes her queccn of all the girls;
And that light within her eyo
Might arouse old chivalry
Fr im the dreams of ancient tlmo
To adventure deeds sublime.
Lovely Lily Lily dawnllkc,
Nimble Lily-Lily fawnlike,
Tripping with a foot as airy
As the font of fabled fairy.
Come, enchant met with thy Hps
Thrill me In divine eclipse,
That my common foul may be
BnatcheJ from earth to heaven by thee,
Bless thee, child! now skip away,
Change green April to white May
Wl n the sorcery of thine eye;
Wiko the star-blooms In the sky
W.th thy laughter. With tby smile
B inlsh pain from heavy toll
Tiia'. some weary maM may say
"llless the hour and bless the day
Tiiat I found the way to grace
In thy heaven-suggesting face I"
Can It be but three years old!
Why, mctiilnks thou art a bold
As a fearless boy of ten 1
Thou canit look on bearded men
With a most unwinking eye;
Knowledge hath not mnd thee shy.
IJucenllke, with a gemlike band, '
Merely twinkle thy command,
Men Invincible to might
WU1 obey thee with delight.
'TIs no wonder; the high dower
Beauty hath Is sovereign power.
Dearest Lily, happy we
Who are liegemen unto thec;
Gentlest of all queens thou art,
Seeking only from the heart,
What a spotless heart can pay
In the tondcr light of day.

French man of letters that has recently appear
ed. Itcv. Dr. William E. Boggs concludes his
review of Edwanl Atkinson's "Solid South."
A very' accurate Idea of tho different views of
candid and moderate men of both sections can
be obtained from these three articles. J. Bran
dcr Matthews Is peculiarly at home In a critical
article upon "The Plays of M. Octave FeulUet,"
nnd It Is worth the while of all who believe In
tho total dcprallty of all French literature to
read this article and endeavor thereby to enter
tain more Just opinions of our various neigh
bors over the water. Tho discussion by so
high an authority as Dr. Wm. A. Hammond of
the question of "Tho Punishability of the In
sano" will be sure to attract attention from the
medical profession and laymen alike. Dr. ITam
mond has made the subject of Insanity a spc
lal study, and possesses tho rare literary facul
ty of popularizing his research, and making
ids essays so free from strictly professional
terms, and so entertaining withal that they easi
ly tako first rank among magazlno articles.
Tho other articles aro all of great merit.

YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.
The Distinguished Persons Present.
Laying; th Corntr Stonelnbsrestlnr Relict
of tne Surrender.
The steamer Cateklll with Secretary Blaine
and the French and German guests arrived at
Hampton' Road on the morning of October 18th
from Washington. The French Minister and
guests were transferred to the frigate Naxt
clenne, which got under way and accompanied
by her consort the Dumont and Dorvlne sailed
for Yorktown. Salutes were fired from tho fort
In honor ot the arrival of the distinguished
visitors. Tho Catsklll left for Yorktown at 0
o'clock.
There was a slight storm In the morning and
the weather was cooler. Eight boats arrived
between midnight and t-lgbt o clock next mom,
lng, bringing troop and civilians. Among the
former wcra detachments from Delaware,
Mlcli!gnn,Virglnla and New Hampshire. At
eight o'clock a salute was fired from General
Hancock's camp. The steamer Excelsior with
the Congressional Commissioners on board ar
rived and received salutes from Gen. Hancock's
camp and the war vessels In tho harbor.
8hortly after the Dispatch and Tallapoosa hovo
In sight and were saluted by the camp and gun
boats.
Distinguished guests, Governors and Con-
gressmen began to arrive at Lafayette halt
about eleven o'clock. General Hancock arrived
at coon and paid his respects to tbe Governor
of Virginia, Many persons were presented to
the General. At 12:30 President Arthur, ac
companied by Secretaries Hunt, James and
Lincoln, arrived at the hall and were received
by Master ot Ceremonies Corbln, and the
Prestdcnt shook hands with the distinguished
persons present. The line then formed, and
tho party marched to the grand stand, where
tho ceremony ot laying the comer stono
of the monument waa to occur. The Masonic
procession looked Imposing, with tylcrs with
drawn swords, stewards bearing white rods,
Master Masons, deacons, secretaries and treas
urers marching sIxabtcast,Xlowcd by visiting
brethren and the grand coiViandarlcs of Vir
ginia nnd other Suites, the President and party,
also attended by all tha troops In camp. Tho
President was loudly cheered during the march.
The ceremonies were opened with prayer by
Itcv. Robert Kelson, grnudson of Gov. Nelson,
who commanded the Virginia mllltla nt York-
town. At the conclusion of the prayer the
band played "Star Spangled Banner," with ac
companiment. Gov. Halllday, of Virginia, then delivered an
address of welcome. Tho Governor has a line
presence, and was frequently applauded. His
allusions to unity of sentiment, purpose and
dcstlry ot nil the sections of our common
country were greeted with enthusiastic ap
plause.
J. W. Johnston, of West Virginia, Chairman
ot the Congressional Commission, then sketch-
tho history of tho surrender. Ho read from
tbe original documents an account of the action
of Congress at the time, exhibited tho sword
voted to tho messenger who boro tbe news o
the surrender, and alluded to tho fact that W.
W. nenry, grandson of Patrick Henry, dnd Rev.
Dr. Nelson, grandson of Gov. Nelson, were on
tne stand. In conclusion, he said the column
now to be erected was to commemorate not on
ly the victory of the colonists, but tho part ta
ken in that victory by France. Recognition
and acknowledgement of aid given by France
iu the hour ot need was a duty left by tho Con
tinental Congress to Its successors, and now,
after a hundred years, a Congress ot 38 states
and fifty, millions of people are fullfllllng
that duty. Thrco millions ot jeoplo aud thir
teen colonics accomplished great work, and now
fifty millions of pcoplo and thlrty-clght States
celebrated It. By Invitation the represents Ives

tlau, A-aln the French soldiers tread Ameri

Tho model monument to bo erected Is before us
Thirteen female figures support a column In
scribed with tho names ot thlrty-clght States
and crowned with the figure of liberty, embody

of the base carrying out the original design of
tho Continental Congress, r.re emblems of the
tho alllanco between the United States and his
most Christian majesty, and a succinct narra
tive of the surrender of Eurl Cornwallls. And
now as an appropriate opening for our celebra
tion tho corner stone ot tho monument will be
laid with all the ceremonies befitting so great
on occasion by order of tho Ancient, Freo and
Vcccpted Masons, of which Washington was a
chief member.
A orkmen under tho direction of the Grand
Master of Virginia then laid the corner stone.

occasion waa the one wmcn Lord Bottctourt,

Jt is a common remark that every
goneration of tho American pcoplo aro
growing physically weaker. Wo havo
no data by which to provo or disprovo
this statement. It is patent onough,
howovor, to tho most cursory observer
that thoro is a serious disinclination
among most of our pooplo to tako that
amouncof physical oxorclso which is
necessary to tho full onjoymont of all
tho faoultles aud tho promotion of
health. Tako our business mon, for in

them possossed of robust constitutions
thero aro others and wo wish tho num

with racrcautilo cares that thoy aro not
recuperating Iholr strength in propor
tion as they aro expending it. Tho evils
of a sedentary lifo aro not counteracted
by nn adequate exerclso of tho muscular
system. Wo fear that there pro many
who are fighting for tho almighty dollar
day and night who pay dearly for their
neglect of tho laws of health by wreck
ed constitutions. It is sad to think that
so many peoplo aro overlooking tho
vitally important faot that physical cul
turo Is equally as essential as mental
tra'nlng. This is certainly a subject
which calls for tho serious consideration
of ovory ono who desires to lead an en
joyable as well as useful life. Our tirod
mon of business should pauso in their
headlong raoo for rlohes andsorogttato

Without gocd health mljpeyHiCa noO
count for much. By a juilVjlous observ
ance of tho health laws, instead of liv
ing In a dobilltatod and dyspoptio stato
men can boeomo robust, and dlsohargo
their dally duties in a bouyant manner.
'As "vg physical, oxorolso is oonoerned
it sUoutobo Of1 a nature to call into
