Across she day--across the night
Like countless doves in silent fight,
Floats down the feathcry, stainless
white,
Unbroken CLEANS n moments space
without a touch, without a trace
Too soon TO dark despoil gives place.
The mire OF wheels, the haste OF feet
Gray toll at shivery dawn to meet
The thousand soilings of the street, -
Oh, thousand ways the footprint,

To shame and dole, to gloom and
greed,
To Joy, and hope, and Christly deed.
The whiteness, caught by smirching
clay,
In secret mode, In destined day,
Back to pure snow shall find its way,
The footsteps lost i'm doubt and crime
In loves own way, In loves own time
Shall leave the clinging slough ant
slime.
And up the sleeps OF good be set,
Oh, help, ye loftier souls, nor let
One longed for word, withheld as yet
Die on your lips lone reach of hand
From sunlit levels when you stand,
Fail the spent strength at loves de

The Endless Procession.

Down the vista of the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward, slow and solemn,
DO In never-ending column
Here the honest, here the knave-
With q rythmic step sublime,
To the grave.
Like the rolling Of the river,
Going ON and on forever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for an instant straying-
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
Equals soon to mix and ningle,
In the grave.
Duty cannot, nor can pleasure,
For a moment break the measure;
They are marching on to doom,
They are moving to the tomb
All the coward, all the brave,
Soon to level ull distinction,
In the grave.
Since the morning OF creation,
Without break or termination,
Ever on the line Is moving.
All the loved and all the loving,
All that mothers ever gave
On to silence and to sluinber
In the grave.
Here no bribe the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken;
Each one for hiInself-no other
Son nor father no, nor brother;
Love the purest cannot save;
Each alone the roll must answer
In the grave.
Who commands the dread process
That shall know no retrogression-
Who can be the great director Z
Ha that grim and grizzly spectre,
Him that Sin to Satan gave;
Death, the mighty King OF Terrors,
In the grave.

We very much regret the exhibition Of vanity
witnessed on "Wednesday p. NJ. at the Alaska
reception. Invitations had been extensively
issued to an informal reception to be given by
the captain and officers. Ordinary good taste
should have prompted any high functionary
who was favored with an invitation, to have
expressed desire to have all formal ceremony
waived, especially on account of the published
nature of the reception; such expression was not
Forthcoming however. Too good an opportun.
ity for personal parade would be lost. So all
the formal,ies of saluting, manning yards, ETC.,

in the meantime suspended. To the credit o
the Alaskans, it may be said that their duties in
this respect were performed with cheerful and
skillful alacrity.
