Gurus.


Out from the Eastern caverns
With sea-damp wings a-wet,
And eyes that are black as thunder.
Where livid lightnings fret;
Unkempt the gray locks flying.
Dust heaped upon her head.
And tears on the pale cheeks lying,
: Mad Eurus. wildly sped.
The world lay all before her,
No barrier stayed her flight
The great sun shrank in shadow
At her coming as of night.
She hurled the oaks from the II untaiu
And tossed the brook in the glen;
And the wild beasts fed affrighsed.
As she smote the face of men.
Away from the green land speeding,
hinged purple with tears of rain,
Shoreward to the curve of the blue deep
She sprang with howl of pain
And the wild sea whirled in passion.
AS downward the good ship went;
And stout hearts quailed before her,
Ere the force of her fury spent.
And out from the shadow after
Upleaped the smoke-red sun;
And the blue sea dimpled in laughter,
As its bare, white arms upAung
Round the neck of the green earth mother,
Crooned close to her bare, brown breast;
While back in the eastern caverns
Mad Eurus sunk to rest.

could obtain large sums with equal facility. But
these practical, hard headed men came at last to
regard him as visionary-as poet who had
strayed, by some strange chance, into the pro-

dreams of financial elysiums which were never
attained-who beheld, as by mirage in the
financial desert a green spot which promised
running brooks of prosperity which the weary

times the cost of the Magazine. The
beautiful photo-engraving, "The

peals to every heart at this Christ

by Jennie June, is profusely illustra-
ted, the name of the author being
enough to recommend it, as her
graphic pen produces nothing but
what is good. Demorest's Monthly

tress, for under her direction maya
zine is produced that no lady can af-
ford to be without, for it certainly
contains the essentials of all others,
being eminently a family magazine
from which any lady can get all the
information she may require on any
subject, even to all the patterns she
may wish to use during the year, as
each number contains an order ell
titling the holder to a selection of

with fever, Monday, created quite a
stir in the family circle by suddenly
exclaiming that she saw an angel,
and the messenger said to her, in
clear tones: "Thou shalt live anoth-
er year." and further said she felt its
hands on her knees. She was not
given to exaggeration and her people
believe she saw the supernatural
visitor.
