An Invitation. -
In Whittiet's new collection of poems,
about the only thing which is new is the
" Prelude " below:
I spread a scanty board too late
The old-time guests for whom I wait
Come few and slow, methinks to -day.
Ah! who could hear my messages
Across the dim nnsouuded seas -
On which so manyhavo stilled away!
Come then, old friends, who linger yet.
And let us meet. as we have met,
Once more beneath this low sunshine,
And grateful for the good we:ve done,
The riddles solved, the ills outgrown,
Shake hands upon the borderline.
The favor, asked too oft before
From your indulgent ears. once more
I crave, and, if belii,tesl lays
To slower, feebler measures move
The silent sympathy of love
To me is dearer now rhau praise.
And ye, 0 younger friends, for whom
My hearth and. heart keep open room,
Come smiling through the shadows long,
Be with me while the sun goes down,
send with your cheerful voices drown
The miner of my even song.
For, equal thrcugh the day and night •
The wise Eternal oversight
And loVe and power and righteous will. ,

" Why should I take care ?" he asked for

then they gets buried by the sexton and the
