THE JOURNALS POETS.


Spring hath many a face of beauty as she comes
with velvet feet,
Stealing like cloud-shadows onward. ever silent.
fleet;
But .hc place where she is dearest,
To my heart Of hearts the nearest,
Is upon wooded hillside with streamlet down
below
daisies grow
There's a smell OF yernaI freshness in the leaf
mold on the ground.
And the very breath of heaven fingers tenderly
around
While the CHEEKY little flowers.
Born to live g. few short hours.
Smile with hearts all faint and fearful they
peep above the mold
In one moment youthful. fragrant; in another pale
and old.
Stones upholstered with carpeting of daintest
tinted moss,
Wee umbrellas of May apples with their
escent gloss;
Through the tree-boughs bleak and dead
Clean the willows by the bed
OF the stream that laughs and gurgles 'twixt the
crumOlIng banks below,
Spreading DER the sedgy swamp-land where the
green begins to glow.
Crows that circe-caw and circle, ever watchful,
ever gay,
Drifting clouds that bear the waters of river
far away,
Distant sound Of plownlen crying
To their teams in slowness vying,
Low of cattle.s bleat Of lambkins. pipe Of birds
unnumbered voices,
For the feathered choir carols when old Natures
heart rejoices)
l. EnVoi.
Twilight settles; evening breezes bring a hint Of
cold and damp;
In the distant farmhouse yonder blinks and
gares the oil-fed lamp
Hark! The mingled trill and boom
OF the frogs across the gloom,
And the purling Of the water in the shadows at
my feet
o the and sounds of springtime are i'm
measurably sweet.

The WantIerer.

The curse of the wandering foot is mine.
When the leaves and blossoms swell,
There sounds the call of my long-lost tribe
From the hahnts of Israel.
Ger the desert plains 1 feel the pulse
OF wild blood strangely kindred.
The tents are folded but down the past
Trail feet of the restless dead.
In the golden East my kindred dwell,
And thither set my face;
But-God OF Abraham! where can one,
Accused, find abiding place?
My brethren cry for homes they have not
For peace they never can know.
Not here-and not here, oh hearts desire.
Up, soul: and feet, Go! Go!
-Ollah Toph.

Certainly The number of Young American

Certainly the number of young American
singers who have taken a pace among art
lists of the first order, and of whom all the
world is speaking, affords encouragement
and points to a bright promise of future
greatness in this field of work. AS to de-
fects? Who is without them? l can only
reproach American singers in that they
have hitherto sacrificed dramatic to vocal
art. The reason of this is clear. Americans
possess singularly pure and beautiful
voices, and it is in the natural order of
things that they should be tempted to spend
their best efforts in cultivating their spe-
cial gifts. However, in the long run a too
absorbing regard for vocal efforts will cost
them distinction in declamat ion-an indis-
pensable part of modern music"

her in the fields-a fretful child
And busy at her play; in glad surprise
I see a CLEAN of summer in her eyes,
And glad content. Around the air is mild,
And softly triing to the robins wild
Impassoned lay; tenant of the skies,
And lately come. his song the bluebird tries
In worlds to which he is not reconciled.
Though heavens frown, and she may change her
mind
And with her tears may wet the bluebirds wing,
TO faults like these her beauty makes me blind,
And through such moods her praises 1 shall. sing
And follow her. for in her steps l find
The odor and the freshness of the spring.
