rne sailor of old Times.

Mr. Clark Russell, In Pail Mall Magazine.
Sailors in olden days must have been
sheeplike in patience. 1t is true that when
a man made sail from the Thames he went
prepared for months, running into years. OF
salt water The patience I refer to IS the
capacity of enduring the hindrance or light
head winds, the abortive struggles Of the
precious round bow driven through It dead
to leeward with the yards fore and fft:
above all, the long Gains of the tropics,
when the fresh water stank when the ship
bread crawled on the toes of the innpmef-
able sea worm that dieth not, when the
scurvy was clapping the grinning mask Of
anguish and death upon your shipmate
face and when If you looked over the ships
side into the sea. the water burnt. the sea
snakes revolved in wheels Of fire and You
saw things with the eyes OF Coleridge
"Ancient Mariner" But those seamen who
thus endured were the men who mast

their names. 1t would be absurd 10 say.that
we shall not look upon their like again.

Sadly and mistily they wander
BY land and sea,
/ watch them roaming here and yonder
Untiringly.
They pass before me like dim seemings
OF living things.
Then melt into the faint SHORTCOMINGS
On viewless wings
Some smile 1 think. and some are weeping,
As II they knew
That passionate hearts are striving, reapings
To crown the few;
That grief is still the lot OF many,
That death alone
Is the one certain peace for any,
The one end known.
They pass before me, shadows merely,
In drifting hosts,
Holding their shrouded heads s.usterely-
These silent ghosts.
These ghosts whose long-foT gotten voices
And sightiess eyes
Remind me that nature still rejoices.
Though all life dies.

TALLEYRAND's PROPHECIES.
His Vision of the Future of the United
States and Prussia.
II to

H. De Burg, in Cosmopolitan.
The strongest of all calims that will be
furnished by the memoirs is perhaps the
astounding proof they will produce OF Tall
leyrand's foresight in the matter of Ger
many and the United States. In the pages
which he devotes to the last years of Louis
which, speaking of the state of Europe to-
ward 1925 and of what the errors of 1915
and left undone, he distinctly foreshadows
what we have witnessed in the lands be-
tween the Danube, the Elbe and the Rhine.
LET no one be mistaken" (ThiS Is the
sense of his words as noted down by an at
tentive auditory What we accomplished
in Vienna was very inferior work; sooner
will insure peace for a few years. 1t is.

herself made up of small bits and can help
no unity in others: but Prussia must be
sharply watched. for she will attempt II

conditions of European equilibrium will be
overthrown Then the basis of power in
Europe must be altered and new forms OF
European civilization must be found.

Sat an aged woman,
Near the busy street,
Where incessant clatter
Rose from busy feet.
When the postman passed her
Then she saw in thought
Ever-changing pictures
Which her fancy wrought.
Semblances about her,
All began to fail
She no more was aged.
Waiting for the mail.
Dreamily she wandered
In her fancy Ger
Scenes of happy girlhood,
Which were hers once more.
All about her gathered
Young companions bright,
Love was in her bosom
And her heart was light.
Eagerly she waited,
Word that would not fail
She. star-eyed maiden,
Waiting for the mail.
But the vision vanished.
Cue Was HOW d VILE,
Struggling with the problems
OF a saddened life.
He whom she had trusted
Left his youthful bride,
Soon to be returning
To her heart and side.
But the months were passing
And her features pale
Told Of hoping. trusting,
Waiting for the mail.
But the years were flying.
And her only child
Left her fond protection
For the Western wild
Told her not in parting
Where he wished to so,
Thinking it but foolish
That she cared to know.
And the anxious mother
Oft in prayer would wall,
Weeping and despairing,
Waiting for the mail.
Thus the aged woman
Mused upon her past,
On its joys and sorrows
In her pathway cast.
Dropped her weary fingers
From her heaving breast,
And her placid features
Spoke of endless rest.
Ended were her troubles.
Ended was her tale.
She no more was waiting.
Waiting for the mail.
