number of foreigners domesticated in the

than Denmark or Servia or Greece. The popula

that of nine sovereign states of the Union COM

Alaska would have to be added in order to fur

Suddenly, in the distance. with a queer, mufiied

Stone upon stone, in solemn order set.
Prayer upon prayer the gilded minaret,
The sculptured spre. the stern defiant hold
Each slowly reared, to stand while years unfold
Then builders knew not haste nor the keen
fret
They gave long lives to beauty long foretold.
We fling across the clouds a fabric sheer.
Deep in the earth our hidden pillars drive:

The forces of the lightning and the mere

thrive:
We resin wOnder-but without delight.
