Dual HOmesickness.

Edith NJ Thomas in the Century
Whilst I in 0ld-Word capitals sojorrned-
LII storieG cities, rich with Times acauest-
a pilgrim from our wide, unstoied West,
Forever homeward in spirit turned;
For me through each Atlantic sunset burned
NY homeland dawn in braver spendor dressed
Ihe bird divine that sang from bosky nest
Beside my brown thrush scanty tribute earned
b4r now. when once mere sit down at home,
what fond perrcrsity my soul pursues
She roves afar, beyond her native pale,
And slips Manhattan Isle to pace through Rome;
Or leaves the brown thrush for the winged Muse
For moonlit Cadenabba's nightingale.

Charm.
Meredith Nicholson in Harper's

1t Is presence sweet and rare,
something oft ATTAINED by Art,
Yet oft possessed. all unaware,
By folk of simple mind and heart.
And be that has 1t canhot pass
The secret on with gold or name;
1t vanishes like dew on grass.
or heat that hovers over fame.
In DC oks that man but little seeks.
Neglected or forgotten long.
11is living essence dwells, and speaks
In happy rhymes of deathless song.
The subtltst of all mystic things,
Ills strange indeed that it should be-
When worn by poets. beggars, kings.
Twin sister of Simplicity
And YOU that seek it never find.
And you that have it never tell;
Ard all that strive to catch and bind
Can only startle and dispel.

The Dream of the Spanish Admiral


AID. 1b41.
Samuel Dorman in the Spectator.
In slumber as the morning broke
Ut was our hOmeward voyage TO Spatnl
Methought l gave a parting look
At the New World beyond the main:
The shores were low, and soft, and faint,
Half purple mist and half firm land,
On which the sunbeams seemed to paint
The 3emblance Of 4 foamy strand.
/ dreamed I saw hundred ships
Where not sail had glanced before.
And for chained hands and dvid lips
L heard newborn people roar.
To every mast u tag wastnailed,
No lion crest but 1tripek and stars,
And deep into the sAa Ih4y sailed
To wrestle with uHI ddNn wars. q
They Glove our ranks, they, clomb the towers
Our lOftiest galleQla -psHudly bore:
They struck with mores Ilpn mortal powers,
Til Spain herself could strike no more.
And DOWN the wind %e ,dtifted far.
And to the shore Q9r- hafks we're blown:
The sea was thick With Mast and spar.
And Spain was shatep ffOm her thrones
And louder than thefwhlrifng brine,
And louder than tie can&0n's roar,
l heard a voice, 'Honaeatyce Is mine,
recompense for evermore!'
Now may St.'James defebd us still,
And may the cavaliers of Spain
Sail Oh and conquerr hpmyshey will,
Ana teach me that ling dream was vain.

On Saturday afternoon the Angel of
Death visited the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

Peace TO her happy little soul. The
funeral services were held at the Bap-
fist Tabernacle at O'Clock condu cted
by the beloved pastor. Rev William
Brown, who delivered a very touching
sermon from the text, Job 10 :26. The
church was crowded to its utmost ca
pacitY.
