THE CHATELAINE.

I have built one, so have you; Paved with marble, domed with, blue, Battleine'iit 'and ladies' "bower, Donjon keep and watchman's tower. I have climbed,, as you have done, To the tower at set of sun — Crying from its parlous height, "Watchman, tell us of the night." I have stolen at midnight bell, Like you, to the secret coll, Shuddering at its charnel breathLeft lockfast the spectre, Death. I have used your lure to call Choice guests to my golden hall: Rarely welcome, rarely free To niy hospitality. In a glow of rosy light Hours, like mhmtes, take their flight — As from you they fled away, When, like you, I bade them stay: Ah' the pretty flow of wit, And the good hearts under it; While the wheels of life go round With a most melodious sound. ]S T ot a vestige anywhere Of our grim familiar, Care — Eo=es! from the trees of yore Blooming by the rivers four. Xot a jar, and not a fret ; Ecstacy and longing met. But why should I thus define— Is not your chateau like mine? Scarcely were it strange to meet Iv that magic realm so sweet. So! I'll take this dreamland train Bound for my chateau in Spain. Auckland, March, 1905. — Algeria Is the only country in th-e world where- tho liorcc^. outnumber th-e human beings.
