THE ART OF POETRY.

Oh music above everything!
And therefore take for choice the Uneven;
Nothing that clogs or chains the wing
In vague and vaporous flight to Heaven
Yet choose your words from the vocal thiong
Not too easily apprehehded:
Nothing more dear than the gray song
In which the Cloudy and Clear lie blended.
Such is the tremulous flush Of noon,
So through the veil bright eyes shoot luster,
Such is the autumn sky
With stars that swim in hazy cluster
Tone we must have and all else scorn;
Only shade no colour, splendour:
o tone the tender sole love -bender
Of dream with dream and flute with horn!
Far from the murderous Epigram fly,
From cruel Wit and unclean Laughter,
That bring the tears to Heavens blue eye
Stale garlic from the ktchen-rafter!
Take Eloquence and wiring his neck!
Right it is when the Muses. revel,
To keep these frolicsome jades in check,
Lest unawares they run to the devil
Oh, who can tell the wrongs of Rhyme?
What deaf child was the first to chnk it,
Tinse that rings, to the true-g old-chime,
Hollow and false twopenny trinket?
Oh music ever and evermore
So let your verse take wings and follow
The soul that seeks, on SUMMER shore,
Fresh Chimes, fresh loves, like the flying swallow.
So let your Muse, in he morning prime,
Fling to the cool crisp wind her letters,
Flowered with the fragrance OF mint and thyme !.
And all the rest is only Letters!

work to show us around.
"The Roddam presented an awful
spectacle. She looked as II she had
been thrust into soft, clinging mud
and pulled out again. The mud stuck
to her like cement and was two feet
deep on her decks. Awnings, stan
chions and boat covers had been

story of his escape. l was unprepared
for the terrible sight which greeted
my eyes when l entered the room.
Capt. Freeman's face was burned
to the color of teak wood and large
patches of skin and flesh were burned
from his bones, here and there. Both
his hands were swathed in bandages.
His hair and mustache were gone. his
eyes were tied open and he was in
great pain. When | told him who

himself, he said. of his suffering.
He said the Roddam had been in
st. Pierre only an hour when the erup-
ton occurred. He was talking to al
agent in a boat alongside when a big
black squall approached the ship
from the island. 1t was like a black
wall. Travelled fast and was accom-
panied by tidal wave and a deafen-
ing roar. The sun disappeared i'm

went one by one until only six were
left. Every one of them must have
died a terrible death.
After a time the captain got the

Blood from his forehead kept running
into his eyes. obscuring his vision. He
likened his escape to the passage from
hell into heaven. At last he reached

sailors. two engineers and the boat

days the awful commissions OF nature

so obscured the rays OF the sun and
brought on darkness so terrifying
that the few survivors believed that
the world had come to an end. Tie
impalpable dust was carried by the
trade winds to the Islands of Barba-
dos and st. Lucia and turned day into
night. The Inhabitants became panic
stricken with fear and abandoned
their ordinary vocations and devoted
themselves to prayer and fasting.
This was the closing period Of a

had lasted two years, and the direc-

OF the mighty mountain was the most
frightful cataclysm known to the
world up to that time. The whole
conhguration of the island was
changed. The eastern end sank into
the sea. and where II stood there is
now great depth of water. The vol.
canic forces remained quiescent until
1882. and then the warning rumble
was heard again; but II was a false
alarm, and the terrible scenes of the

All St Lucia was in mourning and
the people were SO distracted by the
news from the neighboring island that
it was not until May IL that Capt.
Cantell could obtain coal and pass on
his journey. st. Pierre was passed
at distance of about four miles and
all on board studied the land with
glasses.
"The weather was clear and we had
a fine view" said the captain. but
the old lines OF st. Pierre were not
recognizable. Everything was a mass
of blue lava. and the formation of
the land itself seemed to have
changed. When we were about eight
miles of the northern end of the is
land Mont Pelee began to belch n

lava shot into the air and spread over
all the sea, darkening the sun. Our

Partial darkness came upon us,
and everybody on board the ship was
badly frightened. After the stories

seen at St Lucia we did not know
but that we ourselves were to be bur-

another tidal wave, though we were
