A NOTABLE POEM.

Frcm the Register and Leader.)
Major S. H. M. Byers, lowa's SOL
der poet, is growing no older rap
idly. In fact, he has put such a
touch CT the genius Of youth into his
latest poem tFa+ "Glorietta,' pub
lished in the March number of the
Overland monthly, claims recogn'ti
as the best thing he has ever writ
ten. No one would guess that it is
the work of veteran OF the, civil
war. It must be the wine of life en-
the Pacific coast that has put such
haired bard.
"Glorietta' is a ballad Of Spanish
California rich in its tale Of love and
true in it's easilywrought word pic
lures. There is about it felicity
OF expression and a kinship in form
and theme which bring to mind
Keats "Isabella" Although it is not
tragedy, the note of subdued and
saddened tenderness running through
it is justified by the sea-mystery at
it's closing, when the lovers swim to-
ward a ship, phantom or real, and
who shall say which it is?
"And they are gone into the mist and
wave,
Far out Of sight of each pursuing
If in the sea they find lovers
grave,
Now who may know. since mist and
ship are gone!
Time and the sea, no matter, kind CT
rude,
Can cover all, pursuers and pur-
sued"
Still, from yon cliff where fisher-folks
repair
On moonlight nights the ocean to
behold,
IT'S said they see, if but the mist be
there,
A ship all shining like a ship OF
old,
And on the deck lady walks serene,
Still in her wedding dress, Of gold
and green

vised by city health authorities to
prevent the spread Of disease from
Mexican arrivals.
