ELIZA D. KEITH.
How can one convey meaning to another in a language which that other does not understand? I can only tell you the charm of the desert, when you, too, have learned to love it. And then there will be no need for me to speak.
IDAH MEACHAM STROBRIDGE,
in Miner's Mirage Land.
AUGUST 23.
THE PÆAN OF THE POPPIES.
The mountains sway with flame
Where the frail glories tremble—
Fair fallen stars of fire!
