All day the wind had howled along the
leas,
All day the wind had swept across the
All day on rustling grass and waving
trees
Had fallen ''the useful trouble of the
rain"
All day beneath the low-hung dreary sky,
The dripping earth had covered sullenly.
At last the wind had sobbed itself to rest,
At last to weary calmneSs sank the
storm,
A crimson line cleaned sudden in the
West,
Where golden tiecks rose wavering into
form.
A hushed revival heralded the night,
And with the evening time awoke the
light.
The rosy color flushed the long gray
waves;
The rosy color tinged the mountains
brown,
And where the old church watched the
village graves,
Wooed to passing blush the yew-trees
froWn.
Bird, beast, and flower relenting nature
And one pale star rose shimmering in the
blue.
So, to a life long crushed in heavy grief.
So, to a path long darkened by despair,
The slow, sad hours bring touches OF re-
lief,
Whispers of hope, and strength to trust
full prayer.

AN INCIDENT OF THE MILWAUKEE, FIRE.
The great fire in Milwaukee, recently,
had its TRAGEDY. Two men were caught
in the falling floors and partly buried in
the smoking rafters. One was easily
reached and extricated before he had
suffered much with injury. The other,
a pIpeman, was more deeply buried. \
