WAITING Foa THE MESSAGE.

Where the whispering waters murmur.
In dreamy. ceaseless ebb and flow.
Comes n mem'ry. clad like summer.
Lighted by the sunsets glow.
Siivery sands seem as indented
With imagined footprints theret
And listen--deep enchanted
For the message In tho air.
Where the whispering waters murmur
When the moon Is DER the sea.
From beyond the midnight's glimmer
Comes that echoing voice to me.
Peacefully the night winds slumber.
Soft. serene. the stars shine bright;
Ger the sanded floor wander
Through the noiseless calm OF night.
Where the whispering waters murmur
Seel LIES joyous morning breaksl
See! The night has fall'n asunder.
And mankind Its burden takes.
We must wait a little longer
For the signal. coming late.
Telling OF the way up yonder.
Through the cleaning golden gate.

The durability of wood does not, as
some suppose, depend on its weight.
Larch. one of the lightest woods, and
locust, one of the heaviest, are alike
almost indestructible.
