THE POET's LAST SONG.-
Like to the leaf which falleth from the tree,
O God. such only Is my earthly life.
Lord, 1 ready when Thou callest me.

'Tis Thou alone caBst know the load OF sin,
Which this my aching breast doth hold within
Shorten the pains Of death, shake off my fear,
Give me the courage OF a trusting child.

MORNING LAND
So near the goal, so near,
The portals open with n sound ike song
Wandered mid shadows! Oh, my soul, be strong
And do not fear
Do YOU, too feel the woe,
The mist that blinds my eyes, all cold and gray,
The fog that settles round my troubled way
The clouds that Settle2 But they cannot stay
Hise up and watch Them go!
50 near the goal I stand
oh. weary heart, thy task tits well nigh done
I see far off the golden setting SUM-
The work weu wrought that was 50 sad begunl
Welcomed Oh, Morning Land.

guerite basque, from the Polonaise bearing
/ the name, and the breadths of skirts are
sewn to this. Usually there Is q scanti-
ness about them which make them any
thing but attractive. This Is so trim
about the waist, and withal so jaunty,
that many ladies make house-dresses
after the style.
