TWILIGHT AND DAWN.
[ saw the morning with purple
ouiver and burnished how, stand tip
toe on the horizon and shoot sunbeams
at the vanishing darkness of night,
nnl then reach up and gather the
stars and hide them in her bosom,
and then bend down and tickle the
light till it woke with straws of light
till it woke with laughter and with
song A thousand bugle-calls from
the rosy fire of the east heralded her
coming; a % housand smiling meadows
Hssed her garments as she passed,
rid ten thousand laughing gardens
n furled their flower-flaggs to greet
l r-r The heart of the deep forest
throbbed a tribute of bird song and
the bright waters rippled a melody
, f welcome. Young life and love, ra
diant with hope and sparkling with
i hi- dew- -drops of exultant joy, came
1 ind in hand, tripping and dancing
.J j, er shining train, and I wished that
,j',e heaven of the morning might last
* "'«aw the evening hang her silver
crescent on the sky snd rival the
splendor of the dawn with the glory
of the twilight. I saw her wrap the
shadows around her. and with a lull
ai. on her lips, rock the weary world
t. rest: then I saw her fill her dip

their flower-flaggs and the men-
THE AUGUSTA HFRAT.D
dows fell asleep; the songs of the
deep forest melted into sighs
melancholy waters whispered a pen
sive good night to the drowsy birds
and sleepy hollow’s. Life and love, with
a halo of parting day upon their brows
and the starlight tangled in their hair,
walked arm in arm among the gather
ing shadows and wove all the sweet
memories of the morning into their
happy evening song, and 1 wished that
the heaven of the evening might nev
er end. So,
The mornings come, the evenings go,
‘Til! raven locks turn white as snow.
The evenings go, the mornings come.
Till hearts are still and lips are
dumb.
The mornings steals the stars in vain,
For evening steals them back again.
Thus life steals us from the dust.
We wake to think and sleep to
dream, ’love, and laugh, and weep, and
sing, and sigh, until death Bteals us
back to dust again.—Extract from
Gov. Bob Taylor's Love, laughter and
Song."
