The RIVER OF DREAMS.

The river Of dreams runs silently down
By a secret way that no enc knows;
But the soul lives on while the dream
tide flows
Through the gardens bright, or the for
ests brown;
And I think sometimes that our whole
life seems
To be more than half made up of
dreams.
For its changing sights, and its pass
ing shows.
And its changing hopes, and its mid
night fears.
Are left behind with vanished years.
Onward. with ceaseIess motion.
The life stream flows TO the ocean,
and we follow the tide, awake or
asleep
TIL We see the dawn on loves great
deep.
Then the bar at the harbor mouth is
crossed,
And the river of dreams in the sea
IS lost.

The man who interviewed him or the
subject says: The most distinguishing
characteristic of Emile lola was mis-
sad. careworn face. I never saw another
face 50 deeply lined with wrinkles as
his These wrinkles radiated from his
eyes. His face was vastly thoughtful,
but unhappy. I doubt much whether he
could smile. He let fall from mis- lips
many little pIeasantries during his con
yersation. but they were uttered serious
" His face did not relax its stern
ten5eness. and one could well believe
that this man suffered much
In regard TO the lectures ZoIa said
that. while the idea had been dfstaste1uI
to him. he had come TO regard it more
.favorabIy. and hoped some day to visit
America for that purpose. He further
said:
To appear before an audience merely
to show ones self IS neither good nor
dignided. and no amount Of money. could
tempt me TO do that. but If I could feel
that could give a discourse so that
the man who had paid his money to
hear me would receive full value, it
would be my especial delight I could
not bring myself to read any chapter
from any published work of mine. but
