It's origin in impure blood filled with irrtat-
ing, poisonous materials, which, circulating
through the heart, irritate its delicate tissues.
Though the irritation may ut first be only
slight, producing little palpitation or irreg-
ular action, or dull, heavy, or sharp darling
pains, yet by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and inflammation, or hypertro-
ply, or thickening of the lining membrane or
of the valves, is produced. How wise to give
early attention to case Of this kind. Unnat-

heart should admonish one that all is not

And In my vision see, or seem 10 see'
Through floating yapors, interfused Win hght'
Shapes indeterminate, that CLEAN ana isoe
As shadows passing into deeper shade
Sink and elude the sight.

The evening lamps but more divine
The light of love shines over all
OF love that says not mine and thine
But ours, for ours is thine and mine.

A gain the drifting vapors intervene,
And the moons pallid disk Is hidden quite
And now / see the table wider grown,
As round pebble into water thrown
Dilates ring of light.
see the table wider grown,
see it garlanded with guests,
As il fair Ariadne's crown
Out of the sky had fallen down;
Maidens within whose tender breasts
thousand restless hopes and fears,
Forth. reaching to the coming years,
Flutter awhile, then quiet lie,
Like timid birds that fam would fly,
But do not dare 10 leave their nests;
And youths, who in their strength elate
Challenge the van and front OF fate,
Eager as champions 10 be
In the divine knight-errantry
OF youth, that travels sea and land
seeking adventures, or pursues
Through cities and through solitudes,
Frequented By the lyric Muse,
The phantom with the beckoning hand,
That still allures and still eiudes.
Oh, sweet illusions OF the brain
Oh. sudden thrills of fire and frost!
The world il bright while ye remain,
Aud dark and dead when We are lost!

With aching heart, of wrecks that float
Disabled on those seas remote;

And trembles with secret dread
Lest there. among the drowned or slain,

They want no guests; they needs must De
Each others own best company.
The picture fades; as at village fair
A showman's Aiews dissolve Into the air
To reappear TRANSPORTED on the screen
So in my fancy this and now once more
In part TRANSPORTED, through the open door
Appears the selt-same scene.
Seated see the two again,
But not alone; they entertain
A little angel unaware,
With face as round as IL the moon;
A royal guest with faxen hair,
Who. throned upon his lofty chair,
Drums on the table with his spoon,
Then drops il careless on the floor,
To grasp at things unseen before.
Are these celestial mannersf These
The ways that win, the arts that please:
All, yes consider well the guest,
And whatsoever he does seems best;
He ruleth by the right divine
or helplessness so lately born
In purple chambers of the morn,
As sovereign over thee and thine.
He speaketh not, and yet there lies
A conversation in his eyes;
The golden silence of the Greek,
The grayest wisdom of the wise,
Not spoken in language, but in looks
More legible than printed books,
As If he could but would not speak.
And now, o monarch absolute,
Thy power Is put to proof; Tor 10!
Restless, fathomles and Slow
The nurse comes rustling like the sea,
And pushes back thy chair and thee,
And so good night to King Canute.
As one who walking in the forest sees
A lovely landscape through the parted trees,
Then sees IL not for boughs that intervene,
Or as we see the moon sometimes revealed
Through drifting clouds, and then again con
cealed,
So beheld the scene
There are two guests at table now;
The king, deposed, and older grown,
No longer occupies the throne
The crown IL on his sisters brow t.a-. G-
A princess from the Fairy Tales,
The very pattern girl of girls,
All covered and empowered in curis,
Rosetinted from the Isle Of Flowers,
And sailing with soft slken sails
From far-off Dreamand into ours
Above their bowls with rims OF blue
-Four azure eyes of deeper hue
Are looking dreamy with delight;
Limpid as planets that emerge
Above the oceans rounded verge,
Soft shining through the summer night.
Steadfast they gaze, yet nothing see
Beyond the horizon of their bowls;
Nor care they for the world that rolls
With ali its freight of troubled souls
Into the days that are to be.
