DROWNED.

The London World offers every month a
prize Of ten guineas' worth of books for the
best poem on a given subject. We give its
prize poem for October:
The flushing lighthouse beacon pales before
The ruddv harvest moons intenser ray,
That bathes, and changes into sparkling ore,
Its stones of granite gray.
Round the tall briggs the greedy ripple laps,
AS with the ebbing tide they softly swing
shore-belatcd sea-bird slowly flaps
His strong plumed dusky wing.
The pier lights, imaged on the waters, melt
To silver pillars, such as visions show
OF palaces W here tabled Caliphs dwelt
In legends long ago
A single boat steals down the moonlit track,
Through the still night its oar-strokes echo
far;
Fringed with cleft light, the outline sharply
black
IIeuves on the harbor bar.
What strange freight fills it2 Yonder heavy
Covers some form of blurr'd and shapeless
dread;
Rude is the pail, but fitted well to veil
The oceans outcast dead.
His name. his story2 Vain it were to guess,
But short to sum; waif, mystery;
Deaths mocking gloss upon liie's loveliness
A secret of the sea.

Sunset in the North.


Major Butler III his "Wild North
Land gives the following picture of
sunset in the north: "lIe who rides for
months through the vast solitudes sees
during the hours Of the daily travel ono
unbroken panorama of distance. The
seasons come and 60, grass grows and
flowers die; the fire leaps with tiger
bounds along the earth; the snow lies
still and quiet over hill aud lake the riy-
ers rise and fall; but the rigid features
of the wilderness rest unchanged. Lone
~, silentand impassiye; needless Of men,
season or time, the might Of the Infinite
seems to boord over it, and only in the
hours Of day and night moment comes
when this impressive veil is drawn from
its features, and the eye Of the wanderer
clutches glimpse OF the sunken soul of
the Wilderness is the moment which
follows the sunset Then deep stiffness
steals over the earth; colors Of wonder
Gus hue rise and spread along the western
horizon. In u deep sen of emerald and
range Of fifty shades mingled and inter-
woven together, rose colored isles float,
anchored to great golden threads, while
far away seemingly above and beyond all,
one broad fash of crimson light, the part
ing suns last gilt, reddens upwards 70 tho
zenith"
