And the old earth weeps; for day Is
gone.
hush creeps o'er the children of
men.
Like tho hush of death; and the
echoes then
Die out In the air; and the twilight
shroud
Is clasped o'er the breast of u world,
work-bowed.
Then sleep, the angel akin unto death
Breathes over the world her magical
breath.
And all things yield to her powerful
sway,
And on fairy wings are wafted away.
O Glorious Night! where all things
stand
On the brink of death; where the
I Mighty Hand
That Violileth the world, alone can
break
The chain that binds, when the new
day wakes.
Night cometh to all, when the sun
dips low,
When all things fade from the sunset
glow.
When we look far over the sunset
sea,
To a new-made day, our eternity.

of vast magnitude" which bad been
cost up on the shore nt Teignmoutu.
It was ninety feet long and twenty
(Ke feet In thickness, and evidently a
whale from the mention of Its blow
boles, and the fact that Instead of
teeth "there grew to bis palate above
1,0'JO plates of horn, hairy ou one side."
The noble Englishman noted that It
had "three bellies like vast caves and
thirty throats, whereof Ave were very
great." On Aug. 2S, 1730, an Eng-lsh-man
with business Instincts saw two
flights of birds collide with such force
near Preston that 180 of them fell to
earth, lie picked them up und sold
them In Preston market forthwith.
