A SINGULAR lawsuit is promised in
Australia. A Tasmania capitalist pur-
chased from the Government the right to
remove guano from two islands, paying
large sum in advance. When he dis
patched hls ships to the spot, and where
the source of supply had stood, there
was only water. Now he wants the
Government to give him back his money,
and the courts of the colony are to de.
eide whether it shall or not. Perhaps

walked down the valley Of silence.
Down the dim, vOiceleSs valley-alone
And heard not the fall OF footstep
Around me-Save Gods and my own
And the hush Of my heart is as holy
AS hovers where angels have flown.
Long ago was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win
Long ago was weary OF noises :,
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago was weary OF places
Where met but the human, ana Sin.
walked thro' the world with the worldly;
l craved what the world never gave;
And said :"in the world, each Ideal
That shines like the star on LIES wave
Is toned on the shores OF the Real.
And sleeps like dream in grave"
And still did pine for the Perfect,
And still found the false with the true;
And sought mid the human for Heaven.
But caught mere glimpse OF the blue;
And wept when the clouds OF the Mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my view.
And toiled on, heart-tired Of the Human;
And incurred mid the mazes Of men;
Till knelt long ago at an altar
And heard voice call me; since then
walked down the Valley OF Silence
That lies far beyond mortal KEN
Do you ask what found in the Valley?
IT'S my trusting place with the Divine;
And fell at the feet OF the Holy.
And about me voice said, BE Mine!"
And then rose..firm the depths of my Spirit
An echo: "My heart shall be thine"
Do you ask how live in the valley?

But my tears are as sweet as the dew drops
That fall ON the roses in May;
And my prayer like perfume from censor.
Ascendeth to God, night and day.
In the hush Of the Valley Of Silence.
dreamed all the songs that sing;
And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till each finds word for wing.
That to men, like the Dove OF the Deluge,
The message OF peace they may bring.
But far on the de ap there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach;
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech:
And have dreams in the valley
Too pure for language to teach.
And have seen thoughts in the valley
All me. how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch Of a word.
Do you ask me the place of the valley.
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care
1t lieth afar between mountains,
And God and his angels are there;
And one is the dark mount of sorrow
And one the bright mount OF prayer.
