MINE ENEMY.
BY day. by night, by land and sea,
I've ever known that we must meet;
1 and my awful enemy,
Who dogs me, aye, with silent feet,
Whose yelled face ! never see.
His glance and mine have never met,
No word has passed twixt him and me;
He makes no sign. no sound, and yet
A sudden stiffness falls, and he
Breathes in my heart, do not forget
stin day and night, by land and sea,
Through meadow and through market
Ger valley, mountain top and lea.
with stealthy, sure and dreadful pace,
He follows me, and follows me.
Alone. or in the laughing crowd.
I've felt that icy breath Of his,
I felt II as my troth lvow'd.
/ felt II in my lovers kiss,
Ny heart stood still. then beat aloud.
Christ! let me end this deadly fear,
End the mad terror Of this chase.
Mine HmgmNf ~ hon rAnEt hear.
Come meet me-meet me face TO facet
Hark! Something Il am here
And NOW he stretches forth his hand.
/ brace myself TO meet the blow
With damp and quaking fear
When a voice. tender, sweet and low,
Says. Look on me and understand"
1 raise my eyes, And this is he?
Mine enemy whom ! abhOr?
Those lips that smile such love at me!
Those eyes with pity brimming Ger!
That voice like some soft melody.
He Emooths my brow with gentleness,
And wipes the tearstains from my cheek
His touch is chiu, yet ne'ertheless
l have found something that l seek
To dull all pain and cure distress.
Come" and I feel his cooling breath,
The while he takes me IN his arms,
Come where no mortal sorroweth!
Far from the world and all its harms.
Peace dwells with me-my name is Death
THE sins which strength and honor steal
Famine and plague and lust and war,
And bloated greed, 10 which men kneel,
Drive them all stricken TO my door,
Where l but comfort, soothe and heal.
"These are the ills of life-not mine
After the turmoil Of the world,
Defeat and victory, storm and shine,
The battle Ger, the banner furld,
Drink OF my grateful anodyne."
And 20 he folds me TO his breast,
NV arms about his shoulders steal,
And thankfully i sink to rest,
Where all my wounds forever heal,
With this dear foe. who loves me best.

Now, as to the word temperament itself,
the meanings given in the various diction-
aries are very much akin. So, let me quote
Webster: THE peculiar physical and men
tai character OF an individual, In olden
times erroneously supposed 20 be due to
individual variation IN the relations and
proportions of the constituent parts of the
body, especially Of the fluids, as the bile,
blood. lymph, etc. Hence the phrases, bill
ious or choleric temperament sanguine
temperament etc, implying q predomi-
nance Of one OF these fluids and a corre-
spending influence on the temperament"
The word is OF course related to temper.
and I will quote the following from Arch
bishop Trench's famous book Or the Study
Of Words" page 1863: Theories, too, which
long since were utterly renowned, have yet
left their traces behind them. Thu good
humour,' bad humour,' 'humours,' and,
~strangest contradiction Of all, dry humour,
rest altogether on a now exploded, but a
very old and largely accepted theory of
medicine; according TO which there were
four principal moistures or humours in the
natural body, on the due proportion and
combination Of which the disposition alike
of body and mind depended. Our present
use OF temper has its origin in the same
theory; the due admixture, or right tenn
pering of these humours gave what was
called the happy temper, or mixture. which.
thus existing inwardly, manifested itself
also outwardly; while 'distemper,' which we
still employ in the sense Of sickness, was
that evil frame either Of a mans body or
Of his mind flor it was used Of BOTH which
had its rise in an unsuitable mingling Of
these humours."
