BY MARY AMELIA BARR
a. sOitcst Cashmere, since thou art the fashion,
Tell me thy story, as we sit to-day;
Camest thou from Tartar stcppes, or plains Cir-
cassian,
Or guardian hills Of mystical Cathay?
Australian "walks,n or Xulu's savage strand
Or broOmy braes Of lovely Wcstmorcland?
so soft and delicate that English fairies
Might wear thy fcccy folds. Thou mayhap
came
From the green pampas around Buenos Ayres,
Or mountains where fierce Ahghans guard
their fame,
Not Jason's fleece had tale more wild and
strange
Than thou could'st tell Of travel and of change
OF lonely watches and Of patient labor,
OF peaceful shepherds underneath green trees,
Of flocks kept only by the gun and sabcr,
OF weary Journeys over painless seas,
OF giants made Of cranks and wheels and bands,
And wondrous dyes from far-oH tropiC lands.
Of cunning hands that wovc in strange devices
Endless rclicfs and borders, fold on fold;
Until tbs web with many a charm cntices
The smile Of beauty and the need OF gold.
Vet marvellous fleece, forgot each memory
In the still iaircr ones that yet shall be.
When young Jeanette, with soft persuasive
fingers,
FOldcth thy beauty DER her gentle heart;
For Love around the maiden ever fingers,
And all sweet things in her have share and
part.
Then Thy strange fate shall find It's noblcst place.
Blcnt with fond human hopes and human grace.
