MIRAGE.

Hreasure the shadow. Somewhere, firmly
based,
Arise those currents that in cloud land
shinei
Somewhere, to thirsty toilers of the waste,
Yon phantom well spring is living sign.
Treasure the shadow. Somewhere past thy

Past all mems sight waits the true heaven
at last;
Tell them whose fear would put thy hope to
flight
There are no shadows save from substance

Help that Comes too Late.

'Iis wearisome world. this world of ours,
With its tangles small and great,
Its weeds that smother the springing flowers
And its hapless strifes with fate;
But the darkest day of its desolate DAYS
Sees the help that comes too late.
All woe for the word that is never said.
Till the ear is deaf to hear,
And woe for the lack to the fainting head
Ofthe ringing shout of cheer;
An! woe for the laggard feet that tread.
In the mournful wake of the bier.
What booteth help when the heart is numb
What bOOteth a broken spar
Of love thrown out when the Inns are dumb
And life's barque drifteth far.
o! far and fast from the alien past,
over the moaning bar?
pitiful thing the gift to-day
That is dross and nothing worth.
Though if it had come but Yesterday

a fading rose in a death cold hand.
That perished in want and dearth.

Wnere sorrowful steps must fall
Bring help in time TO the waning powers
Ere the bier is spread with the pail:
NOT sehd reserves when the flags are furled
And the dead beyond your call.
For battling most in this dreary world.
With its tangles small and great.
Its lonesome nights and its weary days,
And its struggles forlorn with fate
Is that bitterest grief, too deep for tears
OF the help that comes too late

Don't write unless you have some
