betook himself to the least uncomforta-

ask the price Of the articles purchased.
That fact occasioned comment. He

Oh, there are moments in mans mortal
years
When for an instant that which long has
lain
Beyond our reach, is on a sudden found
In things of smallest compass, and we
hold
The unbounded shut In one small minutes
space,
And worlds within the hollow of our hand
A world Of music in one word Of love,
4 world of love in one quick wordless
look.
A world Of thought in one translucent
phrase,
A world of memory In one mournful
chord,
a world Of sorrow in one little song.
Such moments are mans holiest; the
divine
And frst-sown seeds Of loves eternity.
