Yet one smile more. departing. distant sun!
One mellow smile through the soft, vapory air,
Ere, DER the frozen earth, the loud winds run,
Or sifted Ger the meadows bare.
One smile the brown hills and naked trees,
And the dark rocks whose summer wreaths are
cast,
And the blue gentian flower that in the breeze
Mods lonely, of her beauteous race the last
Yet few sunny days, in which the bee
Shall murmur by the hedge that skirts the way.
The cricket chrp upon the russet lea,
And man delight to lnger in thy ray.
Yet one rich smile, and will try to bear
The piercing winter frost, and winds, and dark
ened air.

mds Perhaps the worshipful company of cloth
| makers board of aldermen might have loved
her-but man-never 1t Holmes who
remarked, with anecteu gravity: Il really must
not smoke so persistently. l must turn over
new leaf-a tobacco leaf-and have cigar only
after each'-here he paused, if to say meal,
| but he continued-"after each cigar" When the
smile around the table he leaned back in
| his chair and said: "A foreigner is alien; a
| foreigner who drinks too much is a bacchanaan
| and may foreigner who smokes much
| be called a tobacconalian?" Once when he had
| been heavily lionzed and mobbed by deputa-
| ton of rough men from the far West and some
| one asked him if he did not enjoy it: Enjoy
it," he exclaimed Il felt like the small elephant

back. THE Argonaut.
