their prisons until Mr.. Chunnblyis re-
turn. He arrived this morning at eight

One of the most beautiful and touching
poems ever written on the month OF November,
IS the following gem by james q. Clark, the
The red sun gathers up his beams,
To bid the withpred earth farewell,
And voices from the swelling streams
Are ringing with The evening bell;
The cold lake sobs with restless grief,
Where late the wstcr lillirs grew,
While Autumn fowl, and Autmn leaf
Are sailing down the river blue.
Forsaken are the woodland shrincs,
The birds Ia warmer lands have nd,
And winds are wailing through the pines
A dlrge for Summers glorious dead;
Fen man iorsakes his daily strife,

And sunset guilds the naked bower,
And waves are breaking cod and clear,
O. that glad time, whose memory dwclls
Like starlight DER liie's cloudy weather,
Whcn side by side we rnycd the dclls
or dear New Englands coast together.
Twas on old PIymouth's rock famed shore,
One calm November night with thee
| watched the long light trembling Ger
The weary day had sunk to rest
Beyond the lines of lcalless wood,
And guardian clouds from south TO west
Arrayed in hues of crimson stood.
We climbed the hill Of noble graves,
Where the stern palriarchs of the land
Seemed listening % the same grand waves
That freed them from tn OppresSors hand
We talked OF spirits pure and kind,
With gentle forms and loving eyes,
OF happy homes we left behind,
In wales beneath the western skies.
A few brief days-and when the earth
Grew white around the travellers feet,
And bright fires burned on every hearth,
We parted never more TO meet
Until go where thou art gone
From this dark world of death and blight
And walk with thee above the sun
That sank upon thy grave tonight
