DRIFTING.
BY ROLLA RYAN.

we are drifting down the river,
Meath summer skies of deepest hue,
ana the suns rays dance and culver.
Where the bubbles burst and shiver,
Like the hopes that first we knew.
We are drifting. ever drifting;
Slowly all the long day through,
And the varied scenes are shifting.
While the purple clouds are lifting,
Ger the distant mountains blue.
Lazy, longing, nstless. dreaming,
Sad without sense Of pain;
Upon the slothful, slow tide streaming,
Through isles in golden sunlight cleaning,
We float upon liquid plain. -..,.
Far behind us. up the river,
Broken links in memory's chain,
Mark spots where loved ones rest forever,
Asleep beside the stream, to never
Float upon the tide again..
Long we turned with prayerful yearning,
To sleep beside the heart so true,
With eyes from tears of sorrow burning,
We watched until the rivers turning,
Forever vailed them from our view. 0;
Then we saw the lightning CULVER GID
through the closely curtained air;
While the rain sobn'd on the river,
Felt the cold drops make us shiver.
With sickly, sad despair.
But day by day the darkness rifted,
Sorrows lingering clouds withdrew,
And to the far horizon drifted,
There in hopes warm sunlight shifted
Into shapes of beauteous hue.
Dreamy eyes with sad devotion
Watched them slowly fade away,
While rocking with soothing motion,
We pass out in the star-lit ocean,
Silently at close of day.

Pretty Barbara, ripe and red.
With sweet small mouth, like the bees abed,
And full of nectar and honey-dew:
So pretty thing, dare not swear
To the art Of the ribbon that ties her hair,
Or the buckle that binds her shoe;
So like her each trinket she has to wear;
1t seemSjust as ifit grew,
Like rose in its petals and pollen dust,
That wears its beauty because it must,
And sometimes like Barbara, too.
As she dips her small tin bucket in
The little fountain of woven glass,
Like webs that the soldiers weave and spin
To hang on the shining blades of grass,
A face as bright and happy as hers.
In the nets OF the silken gossamers,
Looks out of the waters smooth eclipse,
As If it was happy to hold withinit
The soft .verbena red Of her lips,
And kiss and caress her just for minute,
In the arms of the dimples, smooth and still
Ere 1t goes and soberly turns the mill.
For life to her in the honey-dew
Is nothing yet but the way-side spring,
Between the upper and under blue,
That makes a fiction of everything,
AS perfectly like as If it grew;
And she is too happy to see within 1t
The shape of her small sweet self minute,
From the bow in the hair to the tie of her shoe
To know that the marvellous shadows mean
The simple inner beauty that shows
But now in the color of a rose,
And now like the waters smooth eclipse.
In hearts that hold her picture still,
As we 60 and soberly turn the mill.

CASTLE AND COTTAGE.

The lights flash out on the twilight
From the castle grand and tall,
With its massive gates of iron
And stretching boundary wall;
And within lody fingers
In her shining satins fair, -
With diamonds flashing, flashing,
In her lustrous raven hair.
Yes. she has wealth and splendor,
And the worlds great key of gold
Oh, why do the proud lips tremble,
And the Ieweled hands grow cold?
Why? All, memory brings her
Her girlhood back again,
And she longs for the love she trampled
For the sake of q golden chain.
AdOwn in the quiet valley
There stands cottage small,
With fragrant 'woodbine climbing
over the door and wall;
And within girl is standing,
In simple muslin fair,
With only wild rose blushing
In her shining gold-brown hair.
She, too, has gold-her true heart
And a gem ali else above,
Which brightens thesimplest cottage
Gods fairest treasure. Love.

See! the lips grow sweet and still.
