AN EAST WIND.
A shrike Is mourning on the ash;
The clouds allow are blue as atonesj
?lie east wind lays iu searching lash :
g Un the world's uhl bones.
The sand is spinning off the ridtfe;
The elm tree Rives a doleful shout: .
Sach shaft of stubble siufts like a midge;
The leaves are h ust led about.
Kothing is In tune today
Nothing has spirit or wings'.
The wind is in no uiood for plar.
And says sarcastic things.
The sparrows are nursing their hardihood.
In the leeward eave of a barn,
And one old pira.e is warming his blood
By telling the others a yarn.
And the shrike makes ofT in a chilly (tight.
As the bitteresst wind flings
A snowbird flock in a dash of light.
Shaking its silver ninns.

TVnjf Cartyla Ytss Not a Bon.
Carlyletook a friend, and a much younger
man, out vfalking with him, and in his
usual way indulged in a monologue, in
which, nevertheless, his companion was
much interested. Once or twice, however,
the friend ventured to put in a word or
two of objection in regard to something
aid by Carlylc. This annoyed Carlyle in
tensely, and when tiicy reached home he
turned upou his companion and addressed
to him the following warning: "Young
man, I'd have ye to know that ye'vethe
etuaeitv for bfiinEr tlit imprest hnm in F.
tope." The poor man had hardly spoken a :
dozen words, but since these had been crit- ,
ical they had made him seem to Carlyle a
potential bore of colossal proportions.
Jktany men in this wav net uniustlv culled
bona. They venture to doubt some state
ment made in conversation and are at once
branded with the most terrifying of named.
These unfortunate persons are in truth not
bores at all, but merely the Innocent de
tectors of the latent capacity of boring in
others. Carlyle showed by his speech what
was indeed the fact, that he, not his frieud,
possessed the potentiality of boring. It is
true that his great imagination generally
saved him, but be often went perilously
near the line. Had be not been the man of
genius he was he would assuredly have
been the greatest bore in Europe. London
