which colored the foliage and frightened
every object in its own rich dyes. The
colors grew deeper and richer. until the
golden luster was transformed into
storm cloud. full Of finest lightning. which
leaped in dazzling zig Gags all round and
over the city. The wind arose with fury,
the slender shrubs and giant trees made
obeisance to its majesty. Some even
snapped before its force. The straw
berry beds and grass plots turned up
their whites tn see Zsphyrus march by.
As the rain came. and the pools formed,
and the CATERS hurried away, thunder
roared grandly. and the fire bells caught
the excitement and rung with hearty
chorus The south and east received the
copious showers, and the west all at
once frightened up in long polished
belt OF azure. worthy of Sicilian
sky. Presently cloud appeared in the
azure belt, in the form of a castellated
city. II became more vivid. revealing

And self Withdrawn into a wondrOus depth
Far sinking into splendor without end
But the city vanished only to give place
To another isle, where the most beautiful
forms of foliage appeared, imsging a
paradise IN the distant and ambient air.
The sun, wearied of elemental commo-
ton. sank behind the green plans of the
