EVEXIXG KY THE SEA.

Darkening of day and floating of clouds" to the eastward. Sighing of wind and the song of the waters' unrest. Breaking of waves on the shadowy Irae- af " the shoreland. Sinking of sun and the silence of earth in its rest. O'er the horizon the sun in his glory'a departing. Enfolding the heave.'.s in a rcsc-ato mant.a of god. Slowiy the shadows flit, wccpi.ig farewei. •everlasting, And t'.e wind =ighs rrgr?t for hours which, are pu'seles-> and co -d. X-ow lades the day, aiii the eaith is shrouded, in darkness , / Loud moans the wind, and the wav«s ecb a'.oi'd with affri«lu; The c'ouds roil on like phantoms 'mid the . blackness. And the -world is alone with •haoS'— With foinoiess Xight. -, So like the night there are l*earts which ar« 10%-e?6ss ' and lone'y. ' Gliding through life like the cloud 3in th« darkness above — Souls which alone on Life's fathomless walexj are drifting— Hearts which are dead, and «yes diui for sorrows of love. — J. P. Lindsay.
