Over the tele raph wires
The wild Inds sweep to -day,
And I catch musical humming
As of harp rs at their play,
As of distant bells slow ringing
At the dyi g of tlie day.
Along endtr line, ,
And it seems as if every message
Must have eft some voiae behind,
Must have s t the bells to swinging
That I hea in silvery chime.
Tidings of d th Are they sending?
So hushed he sad refrain
Now it quickens, merrily quickens,
And it peals a blither strain !
Of its joy some heart is telling ;
Ring, 0 bells, glad bells, again
Here by the track I am asking—
These varying sounds so blend,
Whether God, who wills for his children
All events toward good shall tend, ,
May not hear our joys and sorrows
In like harmony ascend.
Ovei the marsh by the railroad
The wild Winds sweep to.day,
And they touch the telegraph wires
And a strange, weird tune they play,
Till the air is sweet with harping '
And with church -bells far away.

Peasant Life in Servia.
A correspondent writing from Servia,
says :—Bodovinca is an excellent speci-
men of a Servian village. It is about a
mile and a half long, besides a consider-
able cross road or street, yet it contains
only about 150 houses, and 500 or 600
inhabitants, The long street, wider

thSii George Street, Edinburgh, is a suc-
cession of well -fenced enclosures, in the
middle of which, and extending back -
garden, hiS Offices,- 'and perhaps some
fields. The house is a subatantial, white-
washed cottage of several rooms, well
furnished with carpets and cushions, and
with a general air of .solid comfort. ,But

members of the family when they
They all eat together in. the fami y
house, the younger women waiting, the
elder women eating apartrand on -Satur-
day night they are assembled for prayer,
which is conducted either by the head
of the fatally or the youngest'. At the
same time the head of the family distri-
butes to each member his bask of work
for the next week. He and the Warms
of the house receive ready obedience.
Families rarely break up. They keep
together for generations, though there
isino restriction ow the transference of
their property. The eldest man and his
wife or the eldest man and woman are
generally the heads, but not always.
They are well off. Poverty is almost
unknown. In one family where I was,
the chief men were two brothers. The
elder was the heed, but the younger
being more active and clever managing
everything. I was assured it' was pleas -
tint to see the relation between them.
The elder would not do anything eicept
on the judgment of the younger, but the
younger always took the instructions of
the elder with the greatest deference.
This family is not very large, though
there are elexen young children. They
have 200 vokes of land—unfortunately I
do not kiiew exactly how much that is
—four draught horses, one saddle horse,
twelve draught oxen, and twelve cows.
Many families have twice as much. The
peasants, while they cluster in villages,
have their land also outside, Each
householder is a member of the commun-
ity. They choose a headman, and meet
in assembly, and decide how the land is
to be culfivated in the whole parish, if
on -e may use the word, so that one side
of a village you will find this year all
maize, on another side, perhaps all
wheat. The prosperity of the peasantry,
AS many of your readers may know, is
not of very old date. Till about 50
years ago the land was occupied by
Turkish overlords, as Bosnia where the
population is generally of th'e same race
and language as Servia now is. The
peasants paid tithes of all they possessed,
d were subject to other exactions.
Kara George, the first deliverer Of Servia,
then wrung from the Turks certain rights
and privileges. But it was reserved for
Milosch, originally a peasant, the found-
er of the present reigning family of
Obrenovitch, to drive out the Turkish
Lords, and establish the present system
of peasant proprietorship in 1836. The
fortresses still remained in the hands of
the Turks, and the deliverance of the
country was completed by Milosch's suc-
cessor, Michael.
