OFFERINGS OF THE POETS.

"The Day We seined the DAM"
The day we seined the dam, the light
Cleaned on the muilet's golden scales,
When. arching in his arrowy flight
He cuffed the glinting opals bright
About the boy who held the brails,
And lit the lake with shining scrolls
OF radiant rings that roughed its calm
AS heavenly raptures stir the souls
OF saints-the day we seined the dam.
The day we seined the dam, the brim
Held all the hamlets boisterous brood;
Each tossed his tunic far from him,
Waded knee-deep. sun-tanned and slim,
And stood there unashamed and nude;
The cedar trees shook when they laughed,
And rhythmic strophes. like psalm,
Broke on the shore. as from the raft
They dived-the day we seined the dam.
The day we seined the dam, a bird
Told one sweet tale from birchen bouchs,
Wherein the sleeping south wind stirred;
And down rose-litten aisles the herd
Came tinRling to the brink to brouse,
And in tall reeds. orison-eyed.
They stood where pillows shook the balm
From lilies tilted on the tide
That rolled-the day we seined the dam.
The day we seined the dam, how slipped
The stream In slopes OF rainbow spray
Down to the pool where alders dipped
Their beads, like monks who in crypt
For peace unto the Highest pray.
Who plunge in penitential woes
Deep in the fountain of the Lamb
And rise ali dripping, clean as rose
The fiowers-that day we seined the dam.

Peaceful thy message. yet for struggling right,

While timid weakllngs watched the dubious fight

The Answer.


A Rose In tatters on the garden path
Called out to God, and murmured 'gafnst His
wrath
Because o sudden wind In twilights hush
Had snapped her stem alone of all the bush.
And God, who hears both sun-driec dust ana
sun,
Made answer softly to that luckless one:
'.Sister, in that thou sayest did not well
What voices heard st thou when thy petals fell?'
And the Rose answered: "In my evil hour
A voice cried: Father, wherefore falls the
flower!
For 10, the very gossamers are still
And q voice answered: Son, by Allah's WILL"
Then, softly as the rain-mist on the sward,
Came to the Rose the answer of the Lord;
s'Sister before l smOte The dark in twain,
Or yet the stars saw one another plain,
Time, tide and space bound unto the task
That thou should'st fall and such an one should
ask"
Whereat the withered flower all content,
Died as they die whose days are innocent:
While he who questioned why the flower fell
Caught hold OF God and saved his soul from hell.
-Rudyard Kipling in the Century.

Silent Voices.
When the dumb Hour, clothed in black,
Brings the dreams about my bed,
Call me not SO often back,
silent Voices of the dead,
Toward the lower ways behind me,
And the sunlight that Is gone!
Call me, rather, silent voices,
Forward to the starry track
Gllmmering up the nights beyond me.
On, and always on.

divided on the choice of teachers. the
deciding vote must be cast by Mr. Rus
sell who concluded to wait until he
could inform himself better. This was
thought necessary on account of the
strong objections of Mr.. Sawyer to the
retention of Mr.. Lucy. | think Mr..
Sawyer's objection to Mr.. Lucy Is
founded not so much on his desire to
dispense with him as his desire to place
Mrs. Crawford in the position of prin-
cipal. Now. while we make no Objec-
ton to Mrs. Crawford as teacher in the
primary department, we are opposed
to her "a principal, and if Mr.. Lucy is
not retained. which we have reason to
believe he will be, then some other
man should be chosen, as there are
some boys who need the presence of a
man who is a good di5ciplinarian.
Mr.. Lucy has been a good and efficient
teacher. a man of excellent character.
possessing quiet dignity that is so
necessary and so often lacking in the
school room. As to his abilities, a GER
tificate from our worthy county Super
intendent of schools should be sufficient
guarantee. We hope, as we said be-
fore. that Mr.. Lucy will be retained as
principal, but if not, then some other
man.
