9 (Written tor the Chronicle.) -lioiuid in the well oi ciroiinititance— • not iuite— Men's lives in lihullercd vale or stormy sea Are spent, while opportunity in t≥l wait TJie whim ol uijiic!.*> noi In.-Uul to by t'reo. dome live.s for ever run in placid waj; iSume start in stie.s.s, and win through major woe; And lighting on, deliant of ilit'ay, To man's sine end with untamed spirit go. i'or sonic a cove secluded from the sea Gives shekel' from all etorins—iind not alone The storms. They miss the transport of the free Unlettered life thotie daring beings own Who brave the tempests of life's sea and air; Who yield no jot to fear or eircuiustance, And follow daiintletssly their path where'er Their metier draws them; or tho whim of chance. Till comes tho last enigma of Life's woes, Which here and there some reader ui the scroll .Solves with his inner consciousness; but goes To death with truth, liniittered, in his soul: yince present obloquy would -uro requite . J'Jadi Galileo of the astral mm Who nought to quickou with Truth's violet light .Lymphatic brains that throb from hearts of .stone. - GEOIU.'E POWJOK BROWN. Levin, June 30th. 1915.
