TIE CRYSTAL HOUR.
Amethyst, crimson and beryl,

Amethyst, crimson and beryl,
A splendor of infinite sea,
In fathomless foods of beauty and peru
From the deeps Of eternity.
With stately reverberant motion
And the breakers whish and DIN,
The ceaseless anthem of turbulent ocean,
The surf comes rolling in.
While dim in the distance hover
The sea birds, white winged heet'
And exhausted waves, their ecstasy over,
Make ripple marks at our feet.
Soothed is the flush and the fever
OF earthly passion and power,
And the rested heart shall treasure forever
The touch of this crystal hour.

"Recollections. " He disliked above all
things to write in an autograph album,
and often refused those who asked him
to do SO and sometimes rather brusquely.
On one occasion the owner of an al
bum, a young lady, was fortunate.
Thackeray took her book to his room in
order to look it over. Written on a page
he found these lines:

They crowned him long ago,
But who they got to put it on
