THE PLACE OF FATE.

Thistle spot where the man was
slain:
That daisy Herewith the crimson
stain,
Is blot that burns in a maddened
brain.
And never a lily or rose shall bloom
For fleeing form in the forest gloom,
With heaven horror of death and
doom.
Thistle spot where the man was
slain
The crimson CLEANS in the light and
rain,
And never will dust the red drops
drain.
And fleeing form shall faint and fail
For a pallid face in the moonlight pale,
And the wind that echoes a woman's
wall.
Never lily shall whiten it:
Never the green turf brighten it;
Nor sun nor star shall Tighten it
The spot-the spot where the slain man
But 0 the death that the slayer dies
With the face Of the dead before his
eyes!

Save for some restless birds uncer-

Sweet day of restl
Welcome alike to landsmen and TO sea

Hallowed and blest---
We cease as voters, and we breathe a.

CROSSING THE BAR.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning OF the
bar,
When | put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of fare
we'll
When / embark
For tho from out our bourne of Time
and Place
The flood may bear me far,
hope to see my pilot face to face
When / have crossed the bar.
