FOE THE FUTURE.

Turn, turn from the caves dark hollow! look up
TO the light and see,
Though thine eyes De dazed in the glory, the
man that IS yet to be!
Times wings are at pause beside him, and calm
Is his hearts strong beat,
And the dust of these old dominions is Powerful
round his feet.
Exult. we have won the midway. and the light
has scared the gloom,
And we smile at the old sentence, we are freed
from the endless doom.
Not heirs of forfeit Godhead, degenerate wan
But climbing, and all too slowly, from darkness
into the day.
There is light in my eyes OF dawning, of a fair
world weary of sleep,
I see the new popping islands, dominions over
the deep,
Where the envious growth of creepers groes
rivalling up to the sun;
Where the streams of the orient land roll out
through their gates OF gold,
Where the dizziest mountain summits were
shrines OF the faiths OF old,
Where the wen OF the desert waters gives life to
the lonely tree,
Where the tent of the turbaned nomad is set BY
the inland sea-
From the zone of the torrid summers to the
utternost ways of snow,
From the inland-men to the island-men, shall
the greeting of goodwill go:
Peace, peace on the earth forever, and we all
forgotten so long,
But the air that they breathe is holy because of
our signs and song.
And their maids shall be pure as morning, their
youth shall be taught no lie,
But the way shall be smooth and open for all
men under the sky;
They will build their new romances, new dreams
of a world TO be,
Conceive a sublimer outcome than the end of
the world we see,
And the shadow shall pass we dwell in, till
under the self-same sun
The names of the myriad nations are writ in the
name of one. --ReaaeN ROdd.

Under this is the inscription:

On opening the card the recipient will
be considerably startled to find herself
looking into the depths of bevelled mir

white velvet frame.
Another valentine, less elabo rate. but on
the same lines, is a pink silk mat, the ends
of which are folded to represent square
envelope. A spray of lilies of the valley,
hand-painted, is thrown across the center,
and underneath in quaint characters is this
inscription:
"open the envelope and see the dearest face on

white satin, which reflects the dearest face

imaginable, provided the suspected sender

Glove boxes and handkerchief cases,
specially designed for valentine offerings,
were comparatively unknown until the

that these pretty tribes admitted of such
dainty work that they were put on the
market this season in every conceivable

shaped affair of glass. 1t is bound about
the edges with silk ribbon, and has, in

Wherever bit of ribbon could possibly be
attached it has been put on, the effect be-

lid small flock of blue finches
are painted, perched on the branch
of tree, and on each of the four
sides spray of flowers almost hides the
glass. Inside the box the bottom is lined
with pulled satin, which rests on cushion
of cotton wadding. On this satin pretty
valentine sentiments are worked in gold
