The first stanza of it is as fol- lows: Fair are flowers and the children, subtle suggestion is falrer; Rare s the roseburst of dawn, but the secret that clasps it is rarer; Sweet the exultance of song, but the strain that precedes it s sweeter; And never was poem vet writ but the mean- ing mastered the meter." Briefer, but born of a happy skill, is the one titled “A Birthday Lily’: In May the rosebud of the flowering year, A stainless lily came; Earth shone with light, sphere Burned with diviner flame. but their and every starry Art, brooding o'er her large beatitudes, Feit a creative thrill Run tingling through her splendid moods And consentaneous will, varying Song, praised amid her high interpretings, Knew a seraphic fire Ache in her bosom, and her startled wings Shook music as a lyre. And round the awtful soul of virginhood A whiter glory prayed, And babes unto thelr mothers crawled and cooed, More softly unafrald. The mention of Massey and Burns in re- spect to Realf is made merely to show the ecies of poetry into which his work falls, e style of spirit which was in him, and by which he was inspired. In his phrases and manner of expression he took, In the main, his own path. One can say that his | poem of “The Agony” has something like the ewing of “The Raven,” and that when he wrote: Some fibers in all hearts hold fast to heaven— 1 could not live without the stars. he might have caught a note from Alex- ander Smith, as he very likely did the thought, but not the melody, of the fol-1 owing octave: my beautiful darling, I drunk the delight of her lips; The universe meited to ether, Mortality stood in eclipse A_spirit of light stood be I heard a far rustle of wings; The kings of the earth were as beggars, And the beggars of earth were as kinge Funk & Wagnalls Company, publishers, New York. 5 .

Despite the weather the fire brigade turned out and poured huge jets of water upon the blazing pile. The dripping water froze as it fell, coating the walls with vast icicles, forming a picturesque and weird decora- tion. The reflection of the fire on the forked tongues of ice was a brilliant spectacle. During the same cold snap the White Star liner Germanic experienced an extraordinary accident while lying at the pler in Hudson River. So heavy was the welght of ice on her deck that the water reached her open ports and she began to sink. Fortunately the depth of water in her moorings was only about twelve feet, so that not much real damage was done beyond the wetting of her coal. Never before have such interesting sights been witnessed in New York harbor. bound, and only the heavier steamers could force their way through the ice.
