An Exhortation.

Oh do not ask that my attempt in rhyme
Shall in the highest spirit OF poesy
Conceived be. Or that my muse with Tine
Shall pace it out unto eternity
But to each page thy gentle favor lend
And read my volume to the bitter end.
Oh. ask not how to publish this darei
Nor be thou oyerCuriCus TO know
If L who trill and twitter aware
How hard the immortal trumpet is to blow.
Thy kindly glances on nay rhyming spend
And try to read the volume to the end
Nv passion all too precious is to find
A place in aught so cold as inky ode;
Nor any thoughts that may appoint my mind
Shall YOU expect released from their abode.
sans passion. feeling, thought thy way shall wend
These pages through unto the bitter end.
When Shakespeare. Milton, Wordsworth, each hath
proved
A dainty morsel for the tooth OF Tine,
And mighty music leaves thy heart unmoYed,
Thou shalt bethink thee of my votive rhyme,
And half in wonder, half in pity blenc

TnIlenrd.

All things are wrought OF melody,
Unheard, vet full OF speaking spells;
Without the rock, within the tree,
a soul OF music dweils.
A mute symphonic sense that thrills
The silent frame o; mortal things;
It's heart beats in the ancient hills,
In every flower sings.
To harmony all growth is set
Each seed is but music mote,
From which each plant. each violet,
Evolves its purple note
Compact Of melody, the rose
Woos the soft wind with strain on strain
OF crimson. and the lily blows
Its white oars to the rain.
The trees are paeans; and the grass
one long crcen fu-ue beneath the sun
Song j., their lire; and all shall pass
Shall cease. when song is done.

Chanson Breton.

Alas my love is far away,
And there is naught can comfort me-
A gallant wooed me yesterday
Beneath the shady greenwood tree
''Fair sir said, thy VOWS are vain,
This heart is wrung with heavy pain,
And he / love. Thou art not He
With gauds of jewels and OF gold,
And robes OF pearl and silver thread,
Came a great lord who would me wed,
And give me all his heart TO hold.
And then came Death. o Sweet and Fart
Stretch forth thine arms and clasp me there
Dear Death, do thou my body bear
There where my love is lying cold.
Only thy breast should stay her head
Who never may be c0rlfoTted.

Address me not where but till light
/ halt my camel for the night;
Where on the desert, Sand-storm swept,
Unshcltered from the blast I slept
Beyond golden city waits
And nearer swing the distant gates,
Inside ut which are rest and calm
And crystal springs and groves OF palm.
As o'cr the worn and dusty road
Ny patient camel on l sodd,
We sometime see C1SCs green
But wastes Of desert lie between
The well at which | kneel to drink
Nv marched lips mocks with bitter brink
The tree beneath whose shade I'd lie
Is leaaess, and its houghs are dry.
Sometimes fair cities seem to rise
With minarrts that pierce the skies;
| urge my camel on with blows
They sink in sand from which they rose.
But these white walls that now l see
Mirage and mockery cannot be
Upon the air q music swells
That browns the sound OF camel bells.
Hunger and Thirst, what are We nowS

The gates that open swing and wide
Quite wide enough for me-and too,

The FIRST Memorial Day.

Beneath sn apple tree TOO old
By many a year % yield
The soldiers dug a hasty grave
Upon the battlefield.
They laid within the shallow pit
The bodies of the slain,
Their broken sabres in their hands,
And srnoothed the earth again.
Chill autumn on the naked mound
Let fall her withsred leaves
Grey winter sowed his silver fakes
And reaped his snowy sheayes;
And May, returning to her haunts,
A pail of velvet spread
OF vivid emerald, soft and deep,
Above the hero-dead.
The apple tree that springs before
Withheld its wealth Of bloom,
Put forth on every twig a wreath
All whiteuess. and perfume
Its trailing branches swept the turf
Still moist with morning showers,
And 10! the sIumbers Of the brave

Tho CITY of Constantine.


"Constantinople" by William Holden
Hutton. is book which will be very val
uable TO the student or teacher of his
tory. II is small, and so is the print, but
there is an immense amount of informa-
tion in it and every page is worth read
ing.
There are few cities more fascinating to
one who likes TO seek out new and uneX-
plored territory than Constantinople. Par
is and London are thoroughly known; so
is Rome: so is Florence; but Moscow and
Constantinople have the terrible beauty
and grotesque barbarism of the East un-
deriving Roman and Western civilization,
and the result is a strange conglomera-
tion of the Orient and the Oecident.
Mr.. Hutton takes up first the ancient
city as it WAS in the days when Byzan-
tium was the Eldorado of the west of Eu-
rope He passes over no detail of history
or biography, but the book is largely oc-
cupied with references and explanations
relating to the art and architecture of the
city In this it resembles previous vol
ume of the same series, MOSCOW.
The history of Constantinople is one
long record of barbarism, assassination,
brutality, and feud. At no time has the
city been thoroughly civilized. 1t has
lacked not merely the customs and feel
tngs which we are accustomed TO consider
civilized because they belong to our ira
1iition. but the gentIeness and dignity of
any orderly Government, Asiatic or Eu-
ropean. 1t remains a gateway of the ma
tions. where all law is more or less inse-
cure. vet not wholly absent The follow
ing description of the street scenes of the
CITY is a fair example of the style in which
Mr. TJ,,tton's { hook is written:
..Pera is indeed but a poor outpost
of civilization. 1t has over II veneer
of the West. As you walk through tle
streets you might think yourself IN an
inferior Italian city; when you de-
scend to Galata, down steep streets,
half stairways, you pass through the
gate of the Middle Ages into town
like any cosmopolitan seaport, crowd
ed with sailors and travellers OF all
nations
1T is the East The hundreds of
solemn figures climbing the hill to the
daily afternoon prayers at the mosque
of Mohammed the Conquer0r; the busy
market that goes on outside the walls,
the stalls displaying everything that
man needs to buy, the carpets, the
great ear1henware vessels, marked in
white wax with delicate arabesques,
the fresh fruits, the strange liquors.
the stranger cafes. A few yards on
and you are among the streets that
belong to particular trades, the work
ers in brass. the cobblers, the black
smiths, the horse dealers, the sellers OF
every conceivable object under the sun,
all in their windowless shops. laugh
ing talking, selling, with that state
IL mien which makes ceremonial OF

are those which deal with the architec-
ture of the city, especially with the
