A Colt EATER.-An enormous panther makes
his headquarters at the head of the John Carr
ranch on Hayfork. 1t is frequently seen by hunt

OF all the myriad moods Of mind
That through the soul come thronging,
Which one was eer so dear, so kind,
So beautiful as Longing?
The thing we long for, that we are.
For one transcendent moment;
Before the Present, poor and bare,
Can make Its sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished ideal;
And Longing moulds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real;
To let the new life in, we know,


Desire must 0pe the portal;
Perhaps the Longing to be so


Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing Is Gods fresh heaycnward will,
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench 1t that we may be still


Content with merely living;
But would we learn that hearts full scope,
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope,
And realize our Longing.
An! let us hope that to our praise


Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread Ills ways,
But when the spirit beckons.
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self-satisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought,
Howe'er we fail in action.
