FLOOD TIDE.

Life went whistling a catch. between the plum and the cherry, Rolling a blossom of pink-white ai- monds under his tongue. Looked at us all as we grew and made
 exceedingly merry: Lord How I'll dibble and prune when you aren't so beautifully young .' There was moon ike a spilling of milky
 san from the sky, And the tree of the sky was a candle
 of creamy flame; Each white-firc leaf of star d,stinc,
 and old wind went by Hooded in dark and ashamed as 1t
 whispered some muttering. We were huddled up in the launch Ike a
 sleepy parcel of birds. The plunginE silence enEuifed ut. we
 heard as if We had died The throb of the engines heart erase our tiptoeing words.
 And the slow. mysterious mouth of the
 water against tho side. Stephen Vincent Benet. in the Yale Review.

 In view of the tremendous amount Of power that passed through the mans body it was a matter of wonder that he was not instantly killed.

 Through the corridors Of Time. For, like strains of martial music.
 Their mighty thoughts suggest Life's enedless toll and endeayor.
 And tonight l long for rest. Read from some humber poet.
 Whose songs pushed from his heart AS showers from the clouds of gumu,er. :. Or tears from the eyelids start Who, through long days of labor.
 And nights devoid Of ease. Still heard in h.s soul the music
 Of wonderful melodies, Such songs have power 10 quiet

 That follows after prayer Then read from the treasured volume
 The poem of thy choice. And lend to the rhyme of the poet
