His ewes beamed mildly ON me

y
As my wondering gaze they metz
So strange a mixture he seemed to be
OF youth and age, of ssrrow and glec,
That no clue to his name could get.
At last the silence he brekc,
Which painful became unto me,
And in these words he solemnly spoke:
GO Mortal, your thoughts an answer awoke
The chambers of fate you shall see
Sc You shall jim in scenes tonight
Which the world hereafter shall know;''
So saying, he wound around me tight
His own long mantle of colors bright
"Now come" said he, "we will CO."
At once We we're floating in air,
O'er city and town swiftly gliding,
Quick as thought speeding upward to where,
Mid the soft aeecy clouds, so fair,
The pale moon was lazilJ hiding
On, on, through oceans Of space,
In moment of time we few
And cur dear old earth's good-naturcd face
As we saw, when e'er we slackened our pace,
Smaller and still smaller grew.
Filled with amazement, at last,
On one of the horns Of tho moon,
We paused moment to view the past
Der which just now we travelled so fast

saw, on looking about,
The moon one nhabitant had,
a little old man, quite short and stout,
Who never had heard, as | could find out,
OF the wrongs of woman so sad.
And still we f9ated away,
Past million Of stars and more,
Now paused moment to STAY
Till near rs the land Of Orion lay
With its hospitable door.

To ride to the chambers OF fate;
And with comets as lanterns pair,
Shooting stars to illumine the air.
We whilled through the heavens in state.
Onward, Still onwaid, we passed
Through rygi rs and reg ons of space,
Paused on the Lippar-handle' at last,
And in the wonderful cup SO vast,
Ended cur wonderful race.
Here wonders indoel we found
OF every description and kind;
The treasures Of worlds lay scattered around,
And wonderful ri:h.s lii here abound,
But we left them all L.hird.

And yiewel the phautoms which seemed to

First Anna Dickinson came
With followers many and true,
Dressed all in the regtl robes of famo
Intent On ginning novel name,
wonderful uane and new.
She filed the presidents chair,
Aud ruled all the nation with fear;
She made the women for Office prepare,
And bade the MEN for the family care,
Leaving woman her ''rightful" sphere.
BY women business was done,
While mon stayed at home to admire;
Something new it was under the sun,
But they, yielding, said every ono,
"Giyc the dear ones all they desire"
Each year leap-year became; ..
Invitations to walk or to ride,
Were given all by the LADIES of FAME,
And even in marriage he took the name
OF the Indy " sweet" his bride. r
The marriage contract was made
BY the hdies one and all,
The smallest projects received their aid
Thcircycry wish must be obcycd,
Obeyed by both great and small.
Esprit Of future" cried,
:" No more Of these scenes show to me,
But bring me home to my own fresidc
In peace and quiet once more to abide,
And happy indeed will be.'
Straightway the phantoms were gone
Quick as thought they did all disappear,
And sat n the old arm chair at homc,
BY the last of dying fire alone,
Content with my proper sphere. 5
