"THE NEW AGE."
To the first January, which is also the Old and New Century, number of the Gentlewoman, Sir Lewis Morris contributes a, poem, entitled "The New Age." Here are four of the twelve verses of which it consists: — The New Age comes, I hear its hidden wings Beat with the Dawn above the weary Earth, New hopes, new fears, new wider aims it brings, Their late born Titan newly come to birth. Dead is the age in which erewhile we were. Dead are its glories, and its failures dead, In storms and clouds, it sinks and murky air. -: And lo! a New Sun journeys overhead. Bring Peace, not War, Knowledge, not Force, 1 till each Finds his best profit in the gain of all, This precious lesson be it Thine to teach That none may tarry, if bis brother call. Bring Thou the full enfranchisement which -.'can ■■ ■ ■ ' ; - ::; ■ ■ Make of the Woman a new precious Force, The Partner, not the Parasite, of Man,. A strong stream welling from a purer source.
