THE EVENING LIGHT.
BY Alfred Austin,
Poet Laureate of England.

Poet Laureate of England.
Angels their sllvery trumpots blow
At dawn, to greet the morning GLOW,
And mortals lift adoring eyes.
To see the glorious sun arise.
Then winged with faith, and urged b!
hope
Youth scans the hill and scales the slope
Its pulses bound, its thoughts eXult
1t finds no danger difficult,
Doubles the pace, disdainins ease.
Victor before It comes and secs,
Deeming the universe its own.
The sovereign of self-made throne.
Each hope achieved, fulfilled each praye'
We glory IN the MONDAY glare,
Welcome the blnding heats If strife
Dceming resistance part Of life.
We deal the blow, return the stroke,
Fighting our way through dust an,
smoke.
Until our battle banner furled.
We tower above conquered world,
whether We lead mankind along
by gift OF speech or grace Of song,
Seize with strenuous hand the helm
or add an empire 10 the realm.
We front the sun with forehead bare,
Still clorying in the MONDAY glare.
But. as the lengthenlng shadows glide
silent along tn cvenlde,
TIL dews bapt.zc lawn, leaf and fowe|
In that dim. sanctuary hour,
sacred something hauntS the air.
Tender as love. d,yout as prayer,
And in the darkcning dome afar
Glmmers one bright. outriding star,
Announcing to the sentry sight
CnminC hattAlluus of the night.
The MONDAY glare and morning SLOW
Pale into shadowy long-aEo,
We feel carth's vain ambitions fade
Into the vanished dust they made
All that the glow OF dawn foretold,
And all the MONDAY sui unrollod,
Seem nothing 10 the quiet Joy;
No clamor mars, no cares annoy,
'Twixt restless day and restful night
That sanctiies the evening light.
Swnford Old Manor Kent, England.
From the Independent.
The sheep are down at the waite
a-drinkin' their bloomin fill,
An me an the dog are dozin as herde !
and collies WILL
The world may he movin' somewhere b

Look Just like clouds that are painted

And seems II, to fiji the picter. us ar
the sheep should be dead.
It's hard to think that in cities there
men who are goin' mad,
Each strivin' to beat his fellows and 6
what the others had;
And from this here peaceful viewpoii
such don's look bad, plum bad!
So the shadows lengthen and lengthen
the long drawn, lazy day;
Has any one been any happier than
