"Wildwood-by-the-Sea,h
Set like a pearl on the oceans rim.
Laughing by day in the sunlight clear,
Resting by night under starlight dim.
Set in thy bounds, the forest trees,
Gnarled and bent by the sea-swept air,
Lean to the mainland's distant Shore,
Seeming to seek a shelter there.
Thy silver sands encircled fair,
With girdle of opalescent hue,
Under the storm-cloud, somber and gray,
Unde the sunlight flashing blue.
Where is the tongue thy charms can tell,
When the full moon greets the restless sea,
Laying a path OF glorious light,
A trail of magic n mystery.
The White and crimson clover-blooms,
Send forth their perfumed incense, where,
Blent with the seas life-giving breath,
The sweet wild strawberry yields its share.
Weighted down with its cleaning freight,
over all the white clouds SAIL,
Like fairy ships in queenly state.
A mighty harp, thy surges sound,
Low and hushed through the solemn night;
The ceaseless rythm lifts and falls,
Til rudely struck by the storm kings might,
Then great waves rise with Humorous roar,
The white foam drives across the land,
The furious waters dash and fall.
Exhausted on the shifting sand.
But, storm or calm, thy beauty still
Unchallenged ever shall endure,
To weary frames, a resting place;
To weary souls, a spirit lure.
Though distant lands may call me hence,
No place more fair the eye shall see.
In fancy still, thy charms l view,
Beautiful "Wildwood-by-the-Sea,"

Am Ancient suez Canal.

1t Is certain hat in ancient times a
canal connecting the Mediterranean
and Red seas did exist. Herodotus as
crlbes its projection to Pharaoh Necho,
600 d. G. The honor Of its completion
is given by some to. Darius, by others
to the Ptolemies. How long this canal
CONTINUED to be used we do not know,
but, becoming finally choked up by
sand, 1t was restored by Trajan early
In the second century A. d. Becoming
again useless from the same cause, 1t
was reopened by the Callph Omar, but
vas finally closed by the "~unconquer-
able sands about A D. 1877, in which
state 1t has since remained. This an
Client canal, from Suez to Bubastis, on
the east branch Of the Nile, was 92
miles long, from 10s to 100 feet wide
and Is feet deep.
