The breeze sinks down and the long reach
OF barren sands
In the hot sun seems like the beach
OF desert lands,
Among the rocks no children run,
Only some poor old women come
For driftwood drying in the sun.
IT'S full high noon. the tide is ont
We quiet are.
God knows what storms may sweep without
The lnrbor bar.
The sudden quail, the veering gale
May tear and wreck the distant sail
OF him we love. our weak hearts fail
It's sunset; the returning tide
Crceps up the sands.
The waves CLEAN with warm colors dyed
From tropic lands
The fresh breeze watts the sounds OF JOY
From lips Of many a happy boy
To whom each wave brings a new toy.

SECRETARY LAMAR was very much in
terested during his recent visit to New
England. As he Is an old college profess
sor. he doubtless found more entertain
ment in the Harvard commencement ,x

family. He especially enjoyed the Grafton
of James Russell Lowell. Tie says that
he considers Mr.. Lowell as the best writer
of pure English now living. He said also
that during the address of Mr.. Lowell, it
was II constant subject OF wonder to him
to see how quickly the highly intelligent
audience responded to Mr.. Lowell most
subtle points. He said Mr.. Lowell
appeared 10 me to be constantly seeking
through the most nimble and adroit wit
to hide behind the framework of classical
phrases his meaning. But however MIN
BILE was this wit or however subtle his
mode Of expression, his audience kept up
with him and caught the exact shade of
expression at the very instant of its deliy-
cry, following his classical ~phrasoology
with the same rapidity of thought and the
zane delicate comprehension OF the orator.
There was no point made by him that was
not instantly felt and followed by a burst
