AFTER THE FIRE.


While far along the eastern sky
l saw the flags of Havoc fly,
As II his forces would assault
The sovereign of the starry vault.
Aud hurl Him back the burning rain
That scared the cities Of the plain,

For richcs make Them irings, and Hcy

What hue shall paint the mOcking light
That burned and stained the orient skies,
Where peaceful morning loves 70 rise,
As II the sun had lost his way
And dawnod to make q second day
Above how red with fiery glow,
How dark to those u woke below
ON roof and wall, on dome and spire,
Flushed the false jewels Of the fire
Girt with her belt Of glittering panes,
Aud decked with STRENGTHENING vaneF,
Our northern queen In glory shone
With newborn splendors not her own
And stood, transhgured in our eyes,
A victim decked for sacrifice
The cloud still hoyers overhead,
Aud still the midnight sky IL red;
As the lost wanderer strays alone
To seek the place he calls his own,
His devious footprints sadly tell
How changed the pa hways known so well
The scene, how new! The tale how old
Ere yet the ashes have grown cold
Again l read the words that came
Writ in the rubric Of the flame;
HOwGer we trust TO mortal things
Each hath Its pair Of folded wings;
Though long their terrOrs rest unspread,
Their fatal plumes are never shed;
At last, at last, they stretch In flight,
And blot the day and blast the night!
Hope only Hope, OF all that clings,
Around US, never spreads her wings;
Live, thongh he break his earthly chain,
Still whispers he will come again;
But Faith that soars TO seek the sky,
Shall teach our half.hedged souls TO ily,
Aud find, beyond the smoke and flame.

POETRY OF THE FUTURE,
The Transition Period of English Song
Fast Passing Away-The Coming Poets.

For that the years Of transition are near
an end, and that, in England aud America,
creative poetic literature, adapt d to the
new order Of thought and the new aspira
lions Of humanity, will speedily grow into
form, believe TO he evident wherever our
common tongue Is the language Of imagi-
native expression. The idyllc philosophy
In which Wordsworth took refuge from
the cant and melo-drama of his predcces-
sors, has fulfilled Its immediate mission I;
the art which was born with Keats and
fsund Its perfect work in Tennyssn al
ready seems faulty iaultless and over
refined. A craving for more dramatic,
spontaneous ulterance is prevalent with
the new generation. There Is an instinct
that TO interpret the hearts and souls OF
men and women is the poets highest func-
tlon a disposition TO throw aside prcce-
dents to study life, dialect, and feeling,
as our painters study landscape, out OF
doors and at first hand.
Considered as the floating land-drift Of
new possession even careless aud faulty
work afler this method Is eagerly received;
although in England, so surieted OF the
past and allied with vague desire, the fac
ulty TO discriminate between the richer and
poorer fabric seems blunted and sensa-

above the most admirable compositions in
a manner already familiar just as an un-
couth carving or piece Of foreign lacker-
work is more priced than an exquisite
specimen of domestic art, because 1t Is
strangl and hreathes some unknown, spicy
fragrance of a new-found cline. The
transition. period, doubtless. will be pro-
longed by the ceaseless progress Of the
scientific revolution, occupying mems
imaginations and constantly readjustlng
the basis Of language and illustration.
Ere long, some new Lucretius may come
to reinterpret the nature Of things, con-
irming many of the ancient prophecies,
and substituting for the wonder of the
remainder the still more wondrous testi-
mony of the lens, the laboratory, and the
millennial rocks. The old men of the
Jewish captivity wept with loud voice
when they saw the foundations of the new
temple, because its glory in their eyes, In
comparison OF that huilded by Solomon,
vas as nothing but the prophet assured
them that the Desire Of all nations should
come, and that the g'ory Of the latter
house should he greater than OF the former.
But | do not endeavOr TO anticipate the
| future of English song. II may be lowiicr
or luitier than now. but certainly il Will
show change,and my faith in the reality
Of progress is broad enough TO include the
field of poetic art.-E q. Siedmani ScriJ-

"Itsvery common for school

Martha. Like many other peo-
pie born in the celestial en-
pires (of which there are three
China, Virginia, and Massa-
chusetts.) Miss Martha was
not averse to reminding outside

all the rest, hh1 she was SO de

she had come out to talk while
Rslph was at work. But just
at this moment the schoolinas-
ter was not so & much interest

nor so much amused by her
amusing remarks as he should
have been. He saw 4 man
coming down the road riding
one horse and leading another,
and he recognized the horses
at q distance. 1t must be BUD
who was riding Means bay

and as the man who owned the
horse-mill kept but one blinG
horse bimself, it was necessary
that Bad should take two. II
required three horses to run the
mill; the old blind one coult
grind the grist, but the two 9th
ers had to overcome the fric
tion of the clumsy machine.
But it was not about the
horsemill that Ralph was
thinking, nor about the two
horses. Since that Wednesday
evening on which he escorted
Hannah home from the spell

resist the impulse-who could9
Ito follow the path and find
out its destination, and follow
ing it he came presently to a
lonesome hollow, where a brook
gurgled among the heaps of
bare limestone rocks that filled
Its bed. Following the path
still, he came upon a queer lit
tie cabin built of round logs, in
the midst of a small garden
patch Enclosed by a brush fence.
The stick chimney, daubed with
clay and toppled with a barrel
open at both ends, made this
a typical cabin.
1t flashed upon Ralph that
this place must be Rocky Hol-
low, and that this was the
house of old John Pearson, the
one-legged basket maker, and
his rheumatic wife, the house
that Hospitality sheltered
Shocky. o. Following his i'm.
pulse, he knocked and was ad-
mitted, and was not a little sur
prised to find Miss Martha
Hawkins there before him.
"You here, Miss HawkinsY"
he said when he had returned
Shocky's greeting and shaken
hands with the old couple.
"BleSs you, yes" said the old
lady. "That blessed gyirl"-the
old lady called her a girl by a
sort of figure of ofspeech perhaps
-"that blessed gyirl's the
kindest creetur you ever saw
a--conss, here every day; most,
to cheer a body up with some
thin or nuther."
Miss Martha blushed, and
said "she came because Rocky

place she knew at the East.

kindest people. They remind
