THE SEXTON OF THE SEA.

You scatter flowers on the grassy
mound
That marks the spot where your
loved ones be:
You bring them emblems with never
a thought
For the dead beneath the sea-
For every ship that lthe hands of men
Have builded with chart and wheel,
The bones of men in a hundred-fold
Are laid beneath it's keel.
Soldiers and sailors and captains grand,
Babes from mothers breast
Wet with the lips they will touch no
more,
Come down in my arms to rest,
And 1 lay them gently alone to sleep,
Where the bed Of sand is clear;
And none may wander. and none shall
stray,
For keep them, oh. so dear!
And bark! When the bell-buoy tolls
at night,
Above the wave where the fishes
swim;
You may know that keep my Fathers
watch,
For the day shall give them back
to Him.

THE LOST CONTINENT
By GARRETT P. sERv1ss.

lantis pictured that doomed land as
the abode OF a civilized race, dwelling
IN cities and enjoying all the advan-
tages and delights OF cultivated
world Then came the unparalleled
catastrophe which sunk the beautiful
Atlantis beneath the sea. with all its
life and all its records, closing a chap
Ter OF human history (if it be. indeed.
such) so completely that no certain
link can be found to connect 1t With
the subsequent career Of our race
Still, If the traditions that Plato
heard were not mere Pigments of the
imagination, there must have been
some connection; human beings must
have existed somew here else ons the
earth, or some Of the inhabitants OF
Atlantis must have escaped to Europe
or Africa, and there reestablished. them
selves-for otherwise how account for
the survival Of the memory Of Atlantis?
1t is possible that the supposed sub
mersion of Atlantis occurred consid-
erably later than the cretaceous age,
for on the Atlantic islands types of an
imal ard vegetable life are found show
ing the characteristics Of such life IN
Europe during the Pilocene period,
which was the latest division Of the
Tertiary age, and relatively close in
date to the known appearance OF man.
The cloud Of mystery surrounding
the subject has by no means been
cleared up, but the recent discoveries
afford the possibility OF making 9TH
ers. No hope. however, exists OF find
ing any direct evidence FOR the sub
mersion must have been very deep
one, judging from the fact that around
the Islands, mentioned the sea is miles
in depth. so that whatever 1t nav hide
Is hidden for eternity
