Thoughts of the Sea.

O, men and rvomen linger, By thy clusky shore, O sea, To saddened hearts and tender, Sighs thine ageless harmony. Above, a red, red glory Broods o'er thy waves, O sea,

The moon through dim clouds rising, In sorlemn majes,ty. Thy mo'aning waves of sorrotv, Roll for evermore, O sea, Sigh on, in cadence dying, 1'o surblime infinity.

An Imaginary Conversation Between an Aeroplane and a Motor-Car.

A motor c:r and an aeroplane stood together in a p,rrk in London. The two machines Iookecl curiously at each other, for they ha

pcaceful villages, and your occupan,ts have thrown down bomtrs, disturbing family circlrls and causing despair and sorrow.,' The aeroplane did not wish for further argumenl, and so it said to its companior, "My dear friend, do not let us quarre;I.,' The motor-car's indigna,tion gradually cooled down, and presenily the two were talking quietly once mo.re. The motor claimerl that it was okler than the aeropl.ane, and the latter, wishing to preserve peace, agreed. "Have you been reading the daily papers lately?" it said. "If you have, doubtiess, you have seen the iemark.able achievement of my brother in flying to Austrarlia.', The motor-car tvas silent, but presenily said, "I have conquered the ground, and you the air," and-" The sen,tence was, however, cut off, for the respective owners of the machines had just a.ppeared, and they w.ere prep.aring to start off . The aeroplane was the first to commence its journey, and as it gradually rose into the air it made a great buzz which the motor_cxr 'thought 'lvas meant to be ..,a farewell. The motor now macle a greater noise in response, and so the [wo nervly-made friends parted.
