CLOUD PICTURES.

The curtains of the quiet room
 Wave idly in the fitful breeze: Far off the city's mellowed hum Is murmurous as bees. Across the heavens perfect blue
 By listless currents lightly blown, Soft clouds bring slowly into view
 The hosts of the unknown The long-forgotten souls outcast
 That yearn again for mortal birth; Earth spirits wandering from the past Back to their mother earth. Where'er the vague cloud-headiznds
 rise,
 Wan spectres glide and fade again: And same have walked in Paradise,
 And some were yester slain Earth calls, defying time and death,
 Her myriads to the haunts of day. And all ...at once drew mortal breath
 Still own her jealous swayi M. p. Buhler, in New York Times
