Wbat is Eifes

A Soul strayed from its Mother-Soul
Embracing in the shifting sea
OF other souls, that struggle on
That road which leads to Destiny.
"Ah." thought this Soul, 1.-The road is broad,
Well Travelled too, it looks to me;
IT'S pleasant here but farther on
Seems shrouded deep in mystery"
A few miles passed, there lay in view,
A matchless bOw'r of leafless green;
And sparkling in rayless sun,
A fountain there enriched the scene.
The fountain purled in ripping notes,
Drink, thou Soul, of my liquid heart,
For who SO drinketh deeply here
To him knowledge will impart."
The Soul, athirst, knelt to the brim
And quaffed its sparkling contents there;
Then 10! upon his vision grew
A scented garden. wOndrous fair.
The roses how'd their heads,
And beckon'd with seductive smiles;
The Soul enwrapt'in wonder then q ,
Succumbed to bluShing, winning w!les
"Ah!" lisped a rose in sweeten'd breath,
cart weary, Soul, wouldst rest thy head?
Then gather of my sisters here
And make of us thy perfumed bed"
His couch is laid, he drifts to sleep =
Ere long his dreams are rpdely shorn;
The satin petals withered are;
He writhes in pain on bed of thorns.
The knowledge now hath turned to gaul;
The rose hath barred to him its thorn;
Deceit hath thus unveiled its fangs
And left his faith and spirit torn.
20! what is life?" he then up cries,
THAT men will haunt so ling'ringly?
Why struggle on with hopeful heart
To that unknown dim desti4y9"
30, Soul, despair thou not-live ont"
A cool hand soothed his fever'd brow;
my name is Consolation, Sir!
For my sake thou whilst battle now!"

STAY an especially Industrious wolf
that had been making free with
the sheep herds of the farmers
living round about his base of
operations. A big yellow dog was
requisitioned to lead the hunt and
assist in trailing the bad-tempered

was lndulged in as to how the dog
would deport himself when once
under fire. When last seen, the
dog, according to the story, was
only few feet ahead of the wolfs
