At tho Making Of Man.

the Poem by Bliss Carman in tn,
April Atlantic.
The soft Aprtlian arders
That warm the waiting loarn
Shall whisper in his pulses
To bid him overcome,
And he shall learn the wonder-crY
Beneath the azure dome.
And though all-dying nature
Should teach him to deplore,
The rudy fires Of autumn
Shall lure him but the more
To pass from soy to stronger JOY.
AS through an open door.
He shall have hope and honor.
Proud trust and courage stark,
To hold him to his purpose
Through the unlightea dark,
And love that sees the moons fun orb
In the first silver arc.
And he shall live by kindness
And the hearts c~ertttude,
Which moves without misgiving
In ways not understood,
Sure only Of the vast event
The largo n simple good.

Thou are mine, thou hast given thy word.
Close, close in my arms thou are cling
ing;
Alone for my ear thou art singing
A song which no stranger has heard:
But afar from me yet, like a bird,
Thy soul, in some region unstirred,
On its mystical circuit Is winging.
Thou art mine, I have made thee mine
own;
Henceforth we are mingled forever;
But in vain, all in vain, I e~ndeavor-
Tho round thee my garlands are thrown.
And thou yieldest thy lips and thy zone
To master the spell that alone
My hold on thy being can sever.
Thou art mine, thou hast come unto me!
But thy soul, when / strive to near it
The i~n1ernost fold of my spirit
AS the stars from the mountain tons he.
AS the pearl in the depths OF the sea
From the p~ortion1ess king that would
wear it!

C01THER things being equal, men

supine contentment is TO a man. The

youth studying railways and planning
continental schemes, are out upon

contentment, the others rush on TO

How far will the youth go? AS far
