POETRY.
The First Fire of the Season.

by MARGARET E. SANGsTER,
How it leaps, in dance excited,
How 1t sleeps, in trance delighted,
How it looms in liquid shining,
How it glooms in wan declining,
While around the hearth we gather,
One and all,
In the bleak and windy weather
OF the Fall!
Harkt Without, the storm is raging,
Fierce the rout the day engaging;
Tramp the rains in steady column;
Timed to strains of music solemn;
But within, the house is CHEEKY:
There belong
Accents gentle, laughter merry,
Book and song.
Whence art thou, o rare magician,
Weaving now in swift transition
Spells of peaceful incarnation
O'er our easeful sequestration
Here at home? The world behind us;
Cares forgot;
Closer while the moments bind US;
Blest our lot.
Friendly flame! Remote Chaldean
Seers of name effaced, Sabean
Shepherds in the elder ages.
Persian bards in mystic pages,
Thee adored for SO divinely
Streamed thy light;
Half we follow, and enshrine thee,
Spirit bright!
For the genial incandescence
Owns no menial-mingled essence;
Thou vert horn of happy seasons,s
Child of morn and dew. The reasons
OF our love 60 back to summers
Long ago,
And our thoughts, like festive comers,7
Round thee flow.
Dear the friends each heart remembers,l
AS in cheer we stir the embers,
Bid the ash renew its beauty.
Sparkle, FASH and glow. till duty,
Through the comfort of the hour,
Wooes our soul,
And we deem its sternest dover
Life's best goal.
So we dream not. visionary,
When we deem thee missionary,
Household fire, once more relighted,
Blazing higher, the while united
Round the hearth of home we gat ler,
One and all,
In the bleak and windy weather
Of the Fall.
