AFTER sEA-FIGHT.
Stretched and stll lay the midnight,
Two rrest IuIls moonless on tie breast Of the dark
Our vessel rid5ed and slowly sinking preparations
to pass 10 the one we had conquered,
The cs ten on the Quarer.deck cOldy giving hs or
dois through countennnce white as sheet,
Near by the corpee Of he child hai served IN the cabin
The dead face OF old salt with long white hair and
carefully curled VIII skers,
Tie fl, mes spite of oil that could be done hicSerns
glOit and below,
The husky voices Of the two or three officers yet TIT for
duty,
Fomlefs stacks Of bodies and bodies by themselves
....dabs OF fofh upon tic mass and spGrs,
The cut Of cordsge and dangle Of rigging the slight
slOch OF the sOOtbe OF waves,
Back and impassive guns, and litter OF powder par
GELS and the strong scent,
Delicate snifs of the seabeeze smells OF sedgy
grass and fields by the shore death messages
given in charge 10 SURVIVORS,
Tie bs Of the surgeons knife and the gnawlng teeth
Of his saw,
The wleeze, tie oluck the swash Of falling blooi....
tie short wild scream the long dull tapering groan,
These these lrretrieyabei
NATURAL IDEAIIsN.
All doctrines, oil politics and civilization exGrge from
YOU,
All sculpture and monuments and anything inscribed
anywhere are tailed IN you,
The eist of Histories and statistics far back as the
records reach is in you this bour-and myths and
tales the same;
IF you were not breathing and walking here where
would they al be
The rosi renowned poems would be ashes. orations
and plays would be vGcurms.
All architecture is what you DO TO 1t when you look
upon it;
Did You think Z was in the white or gray stone
tie lines Of tie arches and cornces
All music is what awakens nom you when you are re-
minded by the instruments,
II Il not tie vOlins and the comets. 1T is not the oboe
ror the beating drums-nor tie notes OF the bari
tone sine 81 singing hi- sweet romanza. nor those
Of the mems chorus, nor those OF the wonen's
chorus,
Ii is nearer and further than they.
THE LAST OF EARTH.
When the dull nights over and the duh days also,
When tie soreness of living so muca IN bed 10 over,
When the physician, after long putting OIL, gives The
silent and terrible look for an answer,
When tie children come hurried and weeping, and the
brothers and sisters have been sent for
When medicines stand unused on the shell, and the
camlhor-sme has lervaded the rooms,
When tie faithful hand Of the living does not desert
the hand of the dying
Wien tie twcling lips press lightly on the forehead
When the breath ceases and the pulse Of the heart
ceases, e.
ing look upon Them,
They are polpable as the living are palpable.
The living look upon the corpse with their eye-ght
But without c7esehi fingers different living and looks
curiously on NE corpse.
rHE HUMAN FACE DIVINE.
SaunternT the pavement or riding country by-road
here then are faces .
Faces offienlsbip precision, caution suavity, Ideally,
The spiritual PRESIDENT face, the always welcome COM
mon benevolent face,
natural lawyers aud judges broad al The backtoP,
The faces of hunters ana shers bueed az the bro"s
the shaved blanched faces of orthodox clti-
The pure exravagani yearnng questioning aritsface,
The Welcome ugly face of some beautiful soul. 1.-The
handsome detested or despised face,
The sacred faces of infants the Illuminated lace oil
tie mother OF many children,
Tho f.ce of an emour . . the face Of yeneration,
Tie face as of dream the face OF an immobe rock.
The face Withdrawn of its good and bad. eastraled
A wild hawk his wings clipped by the clipper.
sauncring the pavement crossing the ceaseess fer
~, here then are faces; . -
see ikom and complain not and am content with oil.
Do Won suppose could beccnteut with aif thought
them their own finale
THIS now is too lanentable n face for a man;
Some boct louise asking leave ~ be- cIlngng Tor Il,
Some mix -no-ed maggot blessing what les 1t WIG to
its hcle.
This face is dogs snout shifting for garbage
Snakes ues ia that mouth 80. hear the sblent threat.
This face is a haze more chill than the Arctic Sea,
It's seeIy and webbing icebergs crunch as they 90.
This is face Of bitter herbs this an emetie they
need no label,
And more of The drug-shclf. .laudanum caoutchouc,
or hogs lard.
Ts face is an epilepsy advertising and doing busi-

ly cry, .u..n
they show nothing bat their whites,
lie teeth grit. tie palms OF The hands are cut oy The
turped-ln nails
The man falls struggling and tOdmins 70 the ground
while lie speculaIes well.
Tl;s face is bitten by verrain and worms,
And this il some murderers knife with halfpulled
scGbbard.
This face owes to the sexton his dsmalest fee,
An unceasiDg deetb.beL tolls there
