4 SONG OF SEA WINDS.

How il sings, sings, sings,
Blowing sharply from the sea line.
With an edge of salt that sfings;
How il laughs aloud and passes.
As il cuts the close cliff grasses;
How Il sings again and whistles
AS il shakes the stout sea thistles-
How ii sings
How il shrieks. shrieks, shrieks.
In the crannies of the headland,
In the gashes of the creeks:
How il shrieks once more. and catches
Up the yellow foam in patches;
How il whirls il out and over
To the cornheld and the clover
How it shrieksl
How il roars, roars roars
In the iron under-caverns,
In the hollows Of the shores;
How il roars anew and thunders.
AS the strong hull splits and sunders;
And the spent ship. tempest driven.
On the reef lies rent and riven-
How ID roars
How IL walls, walls. walls
In the tangie of the wreckage.
In the tapping of the sails;
How il sobs away. subsiding,
Like tired child, after ehiding;
And across the ground swell rolling
You can hear the bell-buoy tolling-
How il wailsl

more concerned about the candidate thon
the convention. He Is doing everything in
his power TO win support from all quarters,

The President is continuing with Clarkson the

that Clsrkson had arrived he invited him and
Mrs. Csrkson to dine At the White House yester-
