The sound of music swells and falls,
And laughter fills our ears
A silence hollswed out of life,
In all our spirit hears.
That silence, like a hush of prayer,
Can drown the loudest speech,
And piercing sharp through laugh and song,
Ourinmost sense can reach.
No thunder Of the outer world,
No burning rage of pain,
No passion storms of love or grief
That beat on heart or brain,
Beat down with such coStraining strength
The vital forces there,
As that dull, sound ess ache Of loss
Which lonely mOurners bear.
0 little garments in the drawer,
With such precision spread!
0 little chair against the WALL
o little cradle bed,
Uncurtained, in the silent room,
And pillOwless and cOldi
o mothers arms and tender hands,
That have no babe to hold!
We know full we'll the worth and wealth
Of which we are bereft:
But where are words Wherewith TO tell
The emptiness that's left!
Wherewith to span that shereless void,
Sound It's unfathOmed deePs,
And picture to the common sense
The sacred thing it keeps.

From the New Orleans Times.
No one except by personal in
spection can gain a comprehensive
idea OF the jetties, and of what has
been accomplished by them. One
must know what the condition of
the Pass was before work was be.
gun, and then see the swift, deep
current of water now running out
to the Gulf, before the change that
has been wrought can be fully re.
allied.
There was a narrow Pass ten
miles in length, and from twenty
Eve to fifty feet in depth, reaching
from the head OF the Passes to a
point a few hundred feet below
what is known now as Port Eads.
At this point the banks Of the
Pass ceased and the water spread
out over a wide space, and found
its way to the Gulf in no clearly
defined channel. The force of the
current was lost, Of course, and
the sediment brought down by the
water was deposited over all of
this wild space.
From the point where the banks
of the Pass ceased to within 5000
feet of the Gulf, the water gradu.
ally shOaled up from twenty. five
feet to eight feet, and throughout
the 5000 feet the water varied
from six to eight feet.
The task t. be accomplished,
then, was to remove what may be
called a hill,th base line of which,
twenty-five feet below the surface.
measured from the end of the
banks Of the Pass to the Gulf
nearly tive and a half miles, and
the top line of which, in the same
direction eight feet below the sur
face, measured $500 feet. In
other words, lump of earth two
miles and halt long at the bottom,
5000 feet long On top and four.
teen feet thick, was to be removed.
By means Of the jetties, nearly
all of this vast amount of earth
has been melted away, with the
exception of a small mound at
the sea end of the jettieg, which
at the same depth Of twenty-five
feet has Il base of 600 feet, and
which across the top, at the depth
of seventeen and half feet, has
breadth Of 200 feet. There is
now throughout the whole length
Of the jetties clear channel of
over twenty feet, wisA the excep-
tiOn of two or three places, in all
about 400 feet in length, where
the width does not reach 200 feet.
