PROGRESSION.
" The fairy tales of science, and the long result of Time.'' — "Looksley Hall." "Where shall wr cease? When shall the endingbe? Or, step by step, in progress of ascent, Move on tor ever to accomplishment, Or face at last Impossibiht. 1 ? The stern, fixed limit, and the last decree, Set iron-bound, as final cliffs have pent (Despotic-like in their environment) The ruthless wanderings of the inisht.y sea. But no ! While every rising age may give To this, our earth, her deep, far-seeking men To wield the powers of forces causative — To trace their laws to certain springs, and then Set them to serve, as all our wants increase, There never shall be such a thing as cease. —Hubert Young. Kaitangata, June, 1904.
