Were half the power that rills the world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from error,
There were no need ol arsenals or forts.
The warrior's name would be a name abhorred!
And every nation that should lift again
Its hand against a brother, on its lorehcad
Would wear lorevermoie the curse ol Cain!
Down the dark Ititure, through long gener.iiions,
The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease;
And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations,
hear once more the voice of Christ sav, Peace!
Peace ! and no longer from us braen portals
The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies!
But beautiful as'songs of ihe iinnioi tals,
The holy melodies of love arise.

Sunset and quiet; and the crimson glow
Of Twilight's halo on the western hill!
Over the fields Dusk walk and curtsies low,
And sprinkle incense on the grass; the rills,
In muffled measures, croon a cradle song;
Hocked by the winds, ihe weary saplings nod;
To the leafy tents the beetles trudge along;
Day-burdened birds fly just above the sod,
Seeking iheir nests; ihe drowsy wild beasts yawn;
l-'rotn downy clouds the stars spring into sight;
liarth seems with Heaven to meet outon the lawn:
And West comes tripping to the notes of Night.
Sunset and quiet; and the call of home!
And as ihe echo sounds throughout ihe glen
An age-worn heart looks upward from the loam,
And still, undaunted, dares lo dream-again!

"Oh. no; only playing hide and

muffed tones from the voice be
longing to the legs.
But the questioner w as not easi

"What power car is it?"
