I dreamed that I dwelt on an isle of cracked ice in the midst oi a lake of champagne, Where bloomed Ihc mint juleps in meadows of green, Amid showers of lithia rain. I reclined on a divan of lauer beer foam. With a pillow of froth for my head. While a spray from :i fountain of sparkling Kin tizz Descended like dew on my bed. From fiir-away mountains of crystal lite Ice. A zephyr refreshing and cool Came wafting the Incense of sweet muscatel That sparkled in many a pool. My senses were soot lied |)J Hie soft ; ptirllng SOUK Of a brooklet of ponsse cafe, That rippled along over pebbles of snow To ;i river of absinthe frnppc. Then lulled by the music of tinkling iz lass Prom the schooners that danced on the deep. I dreamily sipped n highball or two And languidly floated asleep. And then I awoke on u bed of rocks, Wiili a bolster as hard ns a brick, A wrench in my neck, a rack in tnv bend. And a stomach detestably sick; With sand in Imy eyes and ^rit in my throat, Where tin- taste of hist evening still clung, And felt a bntb towel stuffed in my mouth, Which I afterwards found w:is my tongue.

Clary of the Morning. The morning itself, few people, In habitants of cities, know anything about Among all our good people, not one in a thousand sees the sun rise1 once in a year. They know nothing of the morning. Their idea of it is that it is that part of the day which comes along after a cup of cof fee and a beefsteak or a piece of toast. With them, morning is not a new issuing of light, a new bursting forth of the sun, a new wnklng-Up of all that life has from a temporary death, to behold Again the works of (iod, the heavens and the earth: it is only a part of the domestic day. belonging to reading newspapers, an swering notes, sending the children to school, and niving orders for din ner.
