Text Appearing Before Image:
drought and sullen heat,Out of the heaped-up clouds there comes a sound Like echoing feet!While from the distance, borne on breezy wings,The rain descending on the thirsty plain, Its beauty flings ! Blow, Autumn wind !Out on the yellow woods and stubble lands,Stir the brown brake and scatter thistledown With myriad hands!Sleep after labour, after turmoil rest :By strength and weakness, yea, by life and death, The world is blest! Blow, Winter wind !Out oer the tumbling sea roll cloud and mist;Roar through bare branches, striking wizard notes Whereer you list!Driving the ships ; and in and out of allWorking Gods will—who, from the frozen seas, Came at His call! Blow, Breath Divine!Beyond the depths of the uncounted host,Beyond the mystic circle of the sky, Come, Holy Ghost!Lo! hatred, blasphemy, and sin aspireTo raise their devil-thrones amid the gloom, Come, quenchless fire!Yea! and the world is buried still in night,And loud and long thy watchmen warn in vain— Come, Living Light!

One of them was from her niece, EllaWinter. Mrs. Carlyon opened it, and sat transfixed at the news itcontained: nothing less than an avowal from that young lady thatshe was engaged to be married to Edward Conroy. The shock and surprise sent Mrs. Carlyon into Norfolk. Shegave orders to her maid, Higson, to prepare for their instant depar-ture. And it is just as well that I should go on another score,she told herself, as.she stepped into her carriage to be driven to thestatior : to ascertain whether my niece has relinquished that mostabsurd idea
