IN MEMORIAM.

SOMEWHERE along the endless miles Of blue green ice and dove white snow The dull sun smiles o’er feathered isles Where men lie dead below. 1 A NTARCTIC winds your keen ears heard Their last faint cry. What did they say? Was it. of home, the faltered word, As they knelt down to pray? their braVe eyes fight creeping sleep That sweetly numbs the freezing blood. And did they see beyond the deep The vision of their God? Z'IOL.D, cold their beds, but who shall say Their, memories shall not live and .grow?- . . Their names shall know* no yesterday. Their deeds no sunset glow. —Percy Shaw, REGRET. Regret Not with the aid of countless year Can I erase from memory The thought of what you were to me. And yet Methinks my grief would lose its sting. If you'd return that diamond ring. (N. B.—lt is not paid for yet.) . —L. B. Coley.
