Have you read in the Talmud OF old.
In the Legends the Rabies have told
OF the limitless realms Of the air.
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
OF SandalphoS, the .Angel q Glory
Sandalphons the Angel Of Prayer
How, erect at the outermost gates
OF the City Celestial he waits
With his feet on the ladder OF lign1,z
That, crowded with angels unnumbereo,
BY Jacob was seen. as he slunbered
Alone in the desert at night!
The Angels of Wind and Of Fire
Chant only one hymn, and expire
With the songs Irresistible stress;
Expire in their rapture and wonder.
AS harp strings are broken asunder
By music they throb TO express.
But serene in the rapturous throng,
Unmoved by the rush of the song.
With eyes uninpassioned and SLOW.
Among the dead angels. the deathless
Sandalphon stands listening brea thless
To the sounds that ascend from DeIoWs-
From the spirits on earth that adore.
From the souls that entreat and implore
In the fervor and passion of prayer;
From the hearts that are broken Win
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mortals to bear
And they change into flowers in his hands
Into garlands of purple and red;
And beneath the great arch OF the poItSsl;
Through the streets of the City Immortal
Is waited the fragrance they she'd
1t is but=a legend, I know
A fable, phantom, a show.
OF ancient Rabbinical lore:
Yet the old medieval tradition.
The beautiful, strange superstition,
Bat haunts me and holds me the more.
When look from my window at night,
And the welxin above is all white,
All painting and throbbing with stars
Among them majestic is standing
Sandalphon, the angel, expanding
HIS nlnlOnS IN nHDul0uS bars.
And the legend. I feel, is a part
! OF the hunger and thirst of the heart,
The frenzy and fire Of the brain,
That grasps at the fruitage forbidden,
/ The golden pomgranates of Eden,
-Longfellow.

wasteful Newcastle. With the growth
OF industries, the consumption has in
creased enormously. At the same time
the supply is failing. Yearly the lum-
herman leaves vast 'barrens' behind
him, and yearly the fire that follows
him eats up billions of feet of valuable
lumber. As the stumpage price-the
value of standing timber-rises, and
the consumer pays proportiOnately a
wiser policy must obtain, and the for
