Ungnnrded Gates.

Wide open and unguarded stand our gates.
Named of the four winds-NOrth. South, East, and
West;
Portals that lead to an enchanted land
OF cities forests. fields of living gold,
Vast prairies, lordly submits touched with snow,
Majestic rivers sweeping proudly past
The Arabs date palm and the Norseman's pine
A realm wherein are fruits of every zone,
Airs of all elimes, for 10! throughout the year
The red rose blossoms somewhere--a rich land,
A later Eden planted in the wilds,
With not inch Of earth within its bound
But If a slaves foot press it sets him free!
Here it is written Toll shall have its wage,
And Homer honor and the humblest man
Stands level with the highest In the law.
OF such a land have in dungeons dreamed,
And with the Vision Frightening in their eyes
Gone smiling to the fagot and the sword.
Wide open and unguarded stand our gates,
And through them press wild. motley throns-
Men from the Yolea and the Tartar steppes,
Featureiess figures of the Hoang-Ho,
Malayan. soythian. Teuton. Kelt, and Slav,
Flying the Old Worlds poverty and scorn;
These bringing with them unknown gods and
rites,
Those tiger passions. here to stretch their claws
In street and alley what strange tongues are
these,
Accents OF menace alien to air,
Voices that once the Tower OF Babel knewi
o, Liberty, White Goddessi is it well
To leave the gate unguarded2 On thy breast
Fold Sorrows children, soothe the hurts OF fate
Lift the down-trodden, but with the hand Of steel
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come
To waste the gifts of freedom. Have
Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be torn
And tramp.ed in the dust. For so of old
The thronsing Goth and Nandal trampled Rome,
And where the temples OF the Caesars stood
The lean wolf unmolested made her lair.

Life.

Give me the strength and height
OF glorious life
The dazzling light,
The straining and the strife,
Love, passion, hope,
In their divinest scope.
High winds mighty seas.
Not sheltered bay;
The storm that frees
Wild torrents, great and gay
With sudden power,
Not the soft spring-time shower.
And II the storm should kill,
The torrent drown
So be it still.
Still let me snatch the crown
Life has to give,
And cry. but once. ] livel

Slavery.

Dreaming by the dripping river,
Lying where the lilies quiver.
Longing for the elm Enid; each hour endless in
its drawl.
Thrice mad phantasy, to sweeten,
Hearing harps aeolic beaten,
Till an envious life is deepsled where the rich
emotions fall.
'Tis thought to Peri given,
Thought Kaleidoscope driven.
Fancy fancies like the sunny freckles on bank
of moss;
Where the woodland leaf. in turning,
Leads the light to eyelids burning,
While you think OF ehasms yawning that she will
not let you cross
Blight, its bilows, breathless finging
Ger tomb where Loves a-singing
From space as endless, mapless changeiess as
Eternity;
Drifts to death before the fruity
Note of lutte, a birthless beauty
That the houri. hoyden, heartless Enid faunts
relentlessly.
Hanging heads, Hopes hateful poppies
Point to where the lethal drop is
Tempting, trcking, tantalizing woefulness to seek
its rest.
Rest beneath the rage red clover
Lying safe where all is over.
Safe where trying, torturing Enid cannot put her
powers to test
And my soul goes drifting. dipping.
Throned in Loves most gorgeous shipping,
Out upon the murmuring mirror OF a passion
sweet and grand
Plunging over ripping shadows,
Swaying into deeper hollows.
Lifting, singing, fitting, swinging as it seeks the
distant land.
So beside the dripping river
Where the wing-white lilies quiver,
Thinking endless thoughts enhancing, doing
deeds in dying dreams;
All my life with her I'm linking
In my fairest fancy sinking
To love that lives by longing, which glorious
torture seems

Man,s hone is like a stream that flows

Through strange, lands, uncertain, freei
To find at last quiet close
Safe in the everlasting sea,
Yet bears the song Of Drooklets down
To cheer the fields and ehide the town.
And hapless life can do no more
Than give the future all its store.
Mans hope is like the morning sun
That quickens earth and heaven reveals;
Though all too soon the race be run
Its dying glory backward steals.
And in the dark that covers all
Far up, the birds OF passage call
starless night yet bringeth rest;
Sleep may be dreamless, still It's blest.

Recent Fiction.

| Cardigan" by Robert w. Chambers.
is another American historical novel. Of
| much the same sort as those with which
! the market ha.s already been flooded.
| The most interesting figure in it is Sir

| Michael Cardigan, and one of the most
| remarkable figures of the eighteenth CEN
| tury. The old house in which the scene
| of the story is mainly laid is still stand
ing. The heroine. Felicity Warren. whose
| Indian nickname is Silver Heels" be-
| cause of her swiftness of foot. is also a
ward of Sir William and a playmate of
| the hero in childhood Young Cardigan Ia
| sent on an expedition to western Penn
| sylvania, at the time of Colonel Cresap's
| advent into that region, the object of his
| mission being to prevent the rising of the
| Cayugas and other tribes against the set
| tiers. and to keep the Indians, if possible
neutral in the struggle between king and
| colonies.
The author has chosen interesting mate
rial and handled 1t skillfully; and there
are several exciting incidents in the book.
| 1t is good reading of its kind. The story
ends with description of the fight at
Concord Bridge. (New York: Harper
