A WINTER PICTURE.

~ OWN swept the chill wind from
the mountain peak,
From the snow five thousand
IL summers old.
On open void and hilltop bleak
1t had gathered all the cold
And whirled it, like sleet. on the wander
er's cheek.
It carried shiver everywhere
From the unleafed boughs and pastures
bare
The little brook heard it and built roof
Meath which he could house him, winter
proof. ~
All night by the white stars frosty CLEANS
He groined his arches and matched his
beams.
Slender and clear were his crystal spars,
AS the lashes Of light that trim the stars.
He sculptured every summer delight
In his halls and chambers out of sight,
Sometimes his tinkling waters slipt
Down through frost leaved forest crypt,
Long, sparkling aisles of steel stemmed
trees
Bending to counterfeit breeze.
Sometimes the roof no fretwork knew
But silvery moses that downward grew.
Sometimes it was carved in sharp relief
With quaint arabesQues of ice fern leaf.
Sometimes it was simply smooth and clear
For the gladneSS of heaven to shine
through, and here
He had caught the nodding bulrush tops
And hung them thickly with diamond
drops,
Which crystalled the beams Of moon and
sun
And made star of every one.
No mortal builders most rare device
Could match this winter palace Of ice.
Twas as If every image that mirrored lay
In his depths serene through the summer
day.
Each fitting shadow Of earth and sky,
Lest the happy model should be lost,
Had been mimicked in fairy masonry
BY the elfin builders of the frost.

Gems In Verse
IN MEXICO.

7HE cactus towers, straight and tall,
Through fallow fields of chapparal;
And here and there, in paths apart,
u A dusky peon guides his cart,
And Jokes of oxen journey slow.
In Mexico.
And oft some distant tinkling tells
Of mrleteers, with wagon bells
That jangle sweet across the maize,
And green agave stalks that raise
Rich spires Of blossoms, row on row,
In Mexico.
Upon the whitened city walls
The golden sunshine softly falls,
On archways set with orange trees,
Or paven courts and balconies,
Where trailing vines toss to and fro,
In Mexico.
And patient little donkeys fare
With laden saddlebags and bear
Through narrow ways quaint water jars
Wreathed round with waXen lily stars.
And scarlet poppy buds that blow.
In Mexico.
In liquid syllables the cries
OF far fruit vendors family rise;
And under thick palmetto shades,
And down cool covered colonnades
The tides of traffic gently flow.
In Mexico.
When twilight falls more near and clear.
The tender southern skies appear,
And down green slopes of blooming lines
Come cascades Of cathedral chimes,
And prayerful figures worship low.
In Mexico.
A land of lutes and witching tones;
OF silver, onyx, opal stones;
A lazy land, wherein all seems
Enchanted into endless dreams.
And never any need they know,
In Mexico.
OF life's unquiet. swift advance,
But slipped into such gracious trance.
The restless world speeds on, unfelt,
Unheeded, as by those who dwelt
In olden ages. long ago,
In Mexico.

Athwart the years, the living strain

A star abreast stormy sky.

Rejecting light unquenched and kind.

That life is sweet and nothing dies.
