The wind at the Door.


The Wind at the Door.
Often to my door
Comes a twilight visitor.
When the mountain summer day
From cur valley takes his way,
And the iourneying shadows stride
over the green mountain side,
Down the Glove among the trees
Moves the ghostly wandering breeze.
With the first stars on the crest
And the pale light in the west,
He comes up the dark rayine
Where no traveller Is seen.
Yet his coming makes stir
In the house Of Ash and Fir:
"Master. is't in our abode
You Will tarry On the road.'
''Nay, I like your roof-tree well,
But with you l may not dwell. !"
Birclres whisper at their sill,
As he passes up the hill:
There is ample room to house"
Friends. ! have another quest
Than your cool abiding rest.
And the Auttering Aspen knows
Whose step by her doorway goes:
'Honor, lord, thy silver tree
And the chamber laid for thee"
''Nay, must be faring on,
For tonight l seek my own.
''Breath Of the red dust is he
And a wayfarer like me-;
''Here a moment, and then lost
On a trail confused and crossed.
and ! gently would surprise
Recognition in his eyes;
"Touch his hand and talk with him
When the forest light IS dim,
''Taking counsel with the lord
OF the utterable word.
Hark, did you hear someone try
The west window fUrtively,
And then move among the leaves
In the shadow Of the caves?
The reed curtain at the door
Rustled; there's my visitor
Who comes searching for his kin.
Enter, brother: I'm within"

Loneliness.

I am not lonely when cross the lands
Where other men are not at my feet
New flowers blossom and their fragrance sweet
A soace is, that happiness commands;
Nor am / sad when at the fair demands
OF fate | walk the crowded foreign street,
The while with no familiar face to meet
CompanOnable the swinging hands
And restless feet. But when the curling smoke
Betrays deserts edge, the homes OF men
And ianes Of love, 10 me, alas, unknown;
When conscious eyes meet eyes, and faith un-
broke
Hallows the lips / see that press ah, then,

Irish LOYALTY.

AFiSn
We're Irish; they said we'd not fight
For the Queen. Was that righte
Ask Tor the names OF the women who cried
For the heroes who charged 20 the cannon and

Go ask for the names OF the dead.
Our brothers dead in the Transvaal-
English and ScOtchmeu--and is that all
Who died that the whole world might know
That watered by blood the Empire would grow
Go ask for the names Of the dead.
We've drunk to the Queen-Cod bless heri
We've fought with the Boers-who curs'd her!
And we're BritOns. We're true TO the fagl

When we fail, thereH be rooms in the Empire to
let.
We have wrongs! we are poor-God knows. but
well wait
Like Fusiliers, not traitors ven fight against
fate.
Go look at the names Of the dead.
Wen pray for the names Of the honored dead;
Wen drink to the Empire their dying has made;
It's their blood and our blood the banner has
stained;
It's their land and our land the dying has gained.
Go pray for the souls Of the dead.

A naturalist of great powers of Observa-

IN the person of Mr.. William Everett Cram,
Of Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, who
writes of Little Beasts of Field and
Wood" as he has studied them in that
region Of New England Immediately sur
rounding his home. The little beasts de-
scribed and illustrated in this volume Qor
there are TO be others) are red, black, and
grey foxes, the mink, otter, sable, ermine,
the other weasels, muskrats, and, finally
the squirrel family in extenso. Mr.. Cram
writes much as ThOreau wrote, and his
eyes allow little to escape them. His book
is equally instructive and delightful. (Bos-

others; a brother and an uncle

to spend what were popularity supposed to
