AMONG THE ALPS AS BY LAKE
LEHMAN.

LEHMAN
Ye stars, which are the poetry OF
heaven
If In your bright leaves we would
read the fate
OF men and empires, It's to be for
given,
That, in our aspirations to be
great
Our destlnies oerleap their mortal
state
And claim a kindred with you; for
we are
a beauty and mystery, and create
In us such love and reverence from
afar.
That fortune, fame, power, life, have
named themselves star
All heaven and earth are still
though not In sleep,
But GREATNESS, as we grow when
feeling most;
And silent as we stand in thoughts
too deep
from the high host
OF stars to the lulled lake and
mountain-coast,
All Is concentered In life intense,
Where not a beam, nor air, nor leaf,
Is lost
But hath part Of being, and a
sense
OF that which is of all Creator ana
defense.
Then stirs the feeling infinite so
felt
In solitude, where we are least
alone;
A truth which through our being
then doth melt,
And purihes from self; it is a
tone.
The soul and source of music,
which makes known
Eternal harmony, and sheds
charm,
Like to the tabled Cytherea's zone,
Binding all things with beauty
'twould disarm
The spectre Death, had he substantial
power to harm
Not vainly did the early Persian
make
His altar The high places and the
peak
OF earth-oergrazing mountains and
thus take
A fit and unwalIed temple there to
seek
The Spirit, in whose honor shrines
are weak,

six months. The second draft occu-
pies much longer time, for 1t Is here
that the story begins to develop. The
third writing is much the same as the
second Miss Glasgow works in the
morning and at night, She devotes
the afternoon to recreation. She in
sists on absolute privacy, and has
often said that she can write better
when she has locked herself In her
study. She usually devotes two years
TO each book. She wrote the opening
chapter Of The battle-ground fourteen
times; the first chapter OF The Voice OF
the People twelve times, while The in.
PRODUCTION to The Deliverance four
times. The Wheel Of Life shows the
same careful workmanship and at the
same time deeper philosophy than
any Of the previous books Many Of
her characters are pictures from real
life The hero Of The Wheel Of Life,
Roger Adams, Is case In point. Miss
