INSPIRATION.
0 The bard was melancholy—ho .. Sat on the ocean's strand. "Would that I could describe the sea," Ho sighed, and waved his hand. "Would that I could describe the hue "With soul and truth and skill, Tho way some other fellows do And did —and, darn, it will! Would that I could, in .throbbing staves Describe its mystery— Tho sea that sleeps—tho sea that raves These aro tho themes for mo. Would that"—a wavo broke over him; Ho, so to speak, imbibed it; It foiled him flat on tho strand, It bumped his head to beat tho band, It ebbed —110 rose, chockful of sand, Took ono look at tho ocean and Described it. —"New York Times."
