THE TWO STREAMS.
Behold the rocky wall That down its sloping sides Pours the swift rain-drops, blending at they fall, In rushing rirer tides. Yon stream, whose sources rua Turned by a pebble's edge, Is Athabasca, rolling towards fche sun Through the cleft mountain-ledg». The slender rill had strayed, But for the slanting stone, Te evening's ocean, with the tangled braid Of foam-flecked Oregon. So from the heights of will Life's parting stream descends, And es a moment tarns its slender rill, Each widening torrent bends,-— From the same cradle's side, From the same mother's kneo, One to long darkness and the frozen zom, One to the peaceful sea. O. W. Holicii.
