The Fonnt of Tears.

All hot and grimy from the road,
Dust grey from arduous years,
l sat me down and eased my load
Beside the Fount of Tears
The waters sparkled to my eye,
Calm, CRYSTALLINE and cool,
And breathing there a restful sigh,
/ bent me to the pool
When. To- voice cried, pilgrim, rise,
Harsh tho the sentence be.
And on to other lands and skies,
This fount is not for thee.
'Pass on. but calm thy needless fears,
Some may not love or sin,
An angel guards the Fount Of Tears,
All may not bathe therein"
Then with my burden on my back,
turned to gaze awhile,
First at the uninviting track,
Then at the waters smile.
And so | 20 upon my way,
Thro out the sultry years,
But pause no more by night, by day,
Beside the Fount OF Tears.
Paul Laurence Dunbar in Ainslie's.

made their food edible, but according 10
this account there was only the scantiest
amount of either. His explanation of this
condition of things is that it was partly
caused by the ideas of the Confederate
government on the subject of military
necessities and partly by the character of
the men in direct charge of the prisons
These he assumes to have been men lack
ing in courage to become soldiers, and
pressed into service as guards because the
Confederacy needed all her best men at
the front He considers them to have
been men in whom the animal nature was
strong and moral impulses weak, accus-
toned to all the worst influences of the
system of slavery, and without the SER
iousness and sense of responsibility and
protection toward the weak which tnat
system some times developed. New York:

Sonnet OF Evening to aDistant Clock

Strike! thou distant clock thy dead hours slow,
Md purpled trees-I see thy tower arise.

Dest love the dark that steals this evening glow
And haunts thy sleeping tower with night bird

Night hath none but streaming Ger her brow

Euthnnasia.

Let me not die in room, shut out from the
glory of Nature,
Prone on feverish couch and girt with horrible
curtains,
But when 60, may die in the depths of shad-
owy woodlands,
Far away under the leaves that whisper a thTen-
ody o'er mel
Looking my last on the Sun, setting blood-red
far o'er the mountains,
Flushing the sea with his fame as he sinks to
sleep in the distanee
Then as the winds OF the night arise from
mystical slumber,
Singing a song of the old days.byinging me rest
in the twilight,
Oh, in a dream may pass to the shore where
spirits await me,
Carving there from the earth picture never to
vanishl
This is the death thdt crave, to pass on the
wings of the night hind.
Far away over the stars to the land OF Infinite

The swamp singer.

List to his voice ss..
Ker-runk, ker-chunk
As he sings in the lowland sedges.
List to the plunge Of his dart-like lunge
As he dives where the cress-meed dredges;
The fox-fre glows in the misty grey
OF the home OF the singer chilly,
Whose popeyes peep in a furtive way
From the breast of a white pond lily.
List to his voice
Ker-runk. ker-chinkl
As he sits on the bank a-drearning.
List to the splash as his sleek legs dash
To the depths where the fish are cleaning;
The sunbeams creep through the leafy gloam
OF the nook of the singer chilly,
Whose popeyes peep from his island home,
The breast Of white pond lily.

Song.

The Dawn is a wild, fair woman,
With sunrise in her hair:
Look where she stands, with pleading hands,
To lure me there.
The Dusk is dark and glorious,
star upon her brow;
With sunset blushes in her checks,
She beckons now.
l. ever tickle. stand between.
Upon my lips a rune
And in my summer singing soul
The holden happy noon.

Night.

The wind awakes
And lIaunts the hills.
And drives the dust
Before it
Through the sleeping town.
The night is dark,
The fields come nearer
And the woods advance,
Cloaking the land
In double mystery.
The sleepless river
Slivors as it goes
And whispers TO the bridges overhead.
The pines are moaning
On the hills among the graves.
A spectre wanders up
Above the town,
And go homeward
Unafraid. yet fearful
OF the baying hound
Dreading the echo OF my footsteps,
Glad of din lamplisht
And door
That opens to my hand.

Banuitti.

Nocturnal pilferers we cannot trace,
Fantastic, leeting, yet divine in grace;
Swift-iooted fugitives law can bind;
Thieves who invade the chambers Of the mind ;
Deft-hngered burglars in the realm of rest,
Who pillage reason and yet leave Us blest-
BIest by the beauty of illusive sleams
The bright banditti of delightful dreams

Two Cousins and Castle by Mrs H.

somewhat surprising denouement The
dramatis personae are pretty girl, her
cousin, who bears the unromantic name of
Spinks, an eccentric old grandfather in
love with the castle which he owns. an
adventures, and French count. Out of
these materials and the picturesque old
ruin of castle the author has managed
to construct very readable story, sweet
ened by the really charming character of
the heroine. There is nothing grand about
Miss Nab Eardley; she is simply a sweet
well-bred and lovable English girl. CNew
