LITTLE SHOE IN THE CORNER,

Yos, Faith IL a goodly anchor,
When skies are sweet a. ps lin,
At the bows It tolls 70 st.lwart
ln blum broad.shouldered calm.
Aud when, over breakers to leeward
The tat,ered surges are turled,
Itmay keep our head to the tempest,
With its grip on the base of the world.
But, after the shipwreck, tell me
What help IN its iron thews,
Still true to, the broken hawser,
Deep down among sea weed and ooze!
In the breaking CULTS Of sorrow,
When the helpless feet stretch out,
And find In the deeps of darkness
No footing so solid as doubt.
Then better one spar of memory,
One broken plank Of the past,
That our human heart may cling to,
Though hopeless Of shore at last.
To the spirit its splendid conjectures,
To the flesh its sweet despair,
Its tears DER the thin worn locket
With its beauty OF deathless hair!
Immortal! feel it and know it;
Who doubts it Of such rs shel
But that is the pang's very secret
Immortal away from me-!
There's narrow ridge In the graveyard
Would scarce stay child in his race;
But to me ana my thought it is wider
Than the star sown vague of space.
Your logic, my friend, is perfect,
Your morals dreerily true,
But the earth that stops my darling's ears
Makes mine insensate too.
: Console, If you will; can bear it,;
9Tis we'll meant aims of BREATH;
But cot oil the preaching since Adam
Has made Death other than Death.
Communion in spirit! Forgive me, =.
But I, who am earthly and weak,
Would give all my incomes from dreamland
For her ross-leaf palm on my cheekl
That little shoe in the corner,
Soworn and Wrinkled and brown
Its motionless hollow confutes you.
And argues your wisdom down.

the word s:chemise," as used by the
ladies, merely because its original mean
ing is the same as that of ''shirt," aud
because there are two or three other
words which might be used also, as
