MOODS and HIUTJTI-'S A NOCTURNE Cro MY rnrnnm Second Prize Essay. By XVHITNEY 'MEREDITH THOMPSON Supper was the last duty of another eventful day in camp. This over, my friend retired to the tent to ready but I descended the rugged cliff, traversed the rocky point to its extremity, and crossing some shaky stepping-stones, reached .a huge Hat rock out in the water. This was my trysting-place with nature and her Creator. Here I would spend my appointed hour of reverie, watching the gorgeous pantomime as day, the shining maiden, is lost in the embrace of her dusky lover, night. But this particular evening something was wrong. It was not in nature though: for the drowsy blue of the heavens was even lovelier than ever-the east, a mellow platitude-the west. an opaleseent proph- ecy of mysteries to be unfolded. The water, retlecting all this, stretched -on and on horizonless to beauti-ous infinity, and lapped a sombrg counterpart to the rob- in 's plaintive song. This harmony was ac- companied by a gentle wind singing through the iir trees on the massive shore, by the far-off cowbell, and the distant train whistle: what beauty, what music was there. Still-there was something Wrong-not in nature: but in une. Hon' restless, how unhappy I am, endlessly striving for an intangible something-I know not what. All this beauty hurts me tonight. What is the trouble anyway? My friend, the psychologist, says I have a complex, Cwhatever that meansj. My doctor calls it nervous strain. The poet names it yearning-yearninv-I agree with the poet. P:- Truly this beauty hurts me. See the beat on the shore with incessant mockery. The wind gives a fiendish voice to those black speetres on the hill. Oh! that my rock were a fairy barque. Then I might drift over the waters, into the deepening gray, and on, still on and on, and lose my- self forever. But no-my rock must re- main iixed thow eold and hard it seeinsj, and I, too, cannot legitimately leave this existence. Life is a hell. Thus morbid ran my thoughts, until in- terrupted by the singing of a violin, close beside me. I turned, and found that my friend had come without my knowing it tmaybe Hod sent him to console mej. There was something attractive about his musie: B'arnliy wrotp it, I believe. And the words-let me see-yes, l recall them: Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening, Steal across the sky. The gentle nuaut-es of the music were beginning to tell on ine, but the lines, not yet. Jesus give the weary, Palm and sweet repose: With thy tend'rt-st blessing May their eyelids close. 'tWhen the morning wakens, Then may we arise, Pure and fresh and sinless In Thy Holy eyes' Such linesl Finch tender modulations! Yes, my friend AhvThe spell was broken. would play it again.

In the west-that open secret of magnificent colour-is it not taunting me to capture its profusion of crimsons, saf- frons and vivid winesgas though to rind in them a panacea for my ills?
