FROST WORK.

No fairies left? You need not tell me so,
For in the night upon my window-pane
Grew wondrous things that make me surely
know
The fairies are at their old tricks again.
Stand where the light strikes thro' the frosted
And see Aladdin's palace rear its towers:
Look at the seed-tufts on that bunch of grass,
The humming: bird above those lily-fowers!
What but fairy pencil could design
These feathered fronds of dainty maiden
hair
With every leaf so delicately fine
You almost see it tremble on the air!
Some nimbie-fingered spirit of the ice
Has wrought his frolic will here, that is
And while study out each quaint device,
wistful fancy gathers in my brain.
o wonder-working spirit! II I could
But learn of you the secret of the snow
How frost Is given by the breath of God,
And where the hidden watercourses flow
And where begotten is the dew, tlrat strings
Hes lovely pearls upon the meanest weed
And what sweet animating influence brings
The blossom splendid from the trivial seed
Gould but ride the South wind and the
North,
And fathom all the mysteries they hold,
See how the lightning leaping wildly forth,
And how the turbulent thunder is con-
troIIed--
/ would no more be fretted by the greed
And selfshness of men: their puny spite,
Nor any worldly loss or cross indeed.
My lifted soul could eVermore alright.
And wherefore nowa The laughing fairy
seems
To mock. at me the spangled window
through;
And laugh also waking from my dreams
10 take up daily loss and cross anew;
But with sense of things divinely planned,
That makes me sure need not fear disdain
From One who holds the thunder in His hand,
Yet stoops to trace the frost-work on the
pane.

When thorough remodeling is I'M
derlaken there are two courses at oppo-
te extremes, one of which, especially
as regards the exterior, should always
be pursued. Contrary to the common
rule, there is danger rather than safety in
the middle course. Either the STYLE of
the old, provided it ever had style,
should be religicusly maintained and
reproduced in the additions, no matter
how Anticipated it may be, or else the
old should be treated with entire con-
tempt, making no pretense of preserv-
ing any part which is not in harmony
with the new. As American architec-
ture has unfortunately little that is
worth saving for its own sake, with the
rare exceptions that may have histori-
cal value, the latter is more likely to be
the most promising route, especially
when it will cost more to match" the
details of the old work than to make
new for the whole.--The Bladder.
