»v IN THE SHADOW, Drear is the night with its wavering light, And the moon is under a cloud, Each planet afar the wraith of a star Gleams pale in its mist-woven shroud, Love! So wan in its chilling, white shroud 1 IVaarv the feet on the desolate street That bear my burden and me; My comrades are gone, and I am atone, To think of heaven and thee, Love, To dream of heaven and thee! Hungering I in my loneliness sigh For thee and all that thou art, For the lovelight that lias in thy glorious > eyes To cheer my famishing heart. Love, To cheer my desolate heart! Vain the desire! Hope’s bright beacon fire Burns dimly in life’s autumn rain, While I walk these lone ways and long for the days That will dawn for me never again, Love, The days that will dawn not again! —it. At.

Ireland, is still preserved the skeleton of Cornelius McGrath, who, after his death, at the age of twenty-four, was found to measure seven feet eight inches in height. When fifteen years of age he was attacked by violent pains, which were at first sup¬ posed to be rheumatic, but which were afterward surmised to be growing pains, for during one year he grew from the height of five feet to that of six feet eight and three-quarter inches. A boy, sixteen years of age, of that extraordinary size, naturally attracted a great deal of attention, and a crowd of men, women and children always followed him when- ever he showed himself in the streets of Cork. His hand is described as about the size of an ordinary shoulder of mut¬ ton ; the lasts on which his shoes were made measured fifteen ftiches in length; but for all his bulk he was very moder¬ ate in eating and drinking.—[All the Year Round.
