So midnight with magic reposes, And slumbers to visions bow. For the soul of man, being free, shall pass the gates of God, | And_ the spirit find the Sea by the feet of clim ? untrod, And the flesh, a lifeless ember, in ashen fear vrow cold, As the lives before remember the perished hours of gold.

" Spiritus " only came to mean Spirit in the modern technical sense owing to the efforts of the theologians. We have an example of the proper use of the word in the term : Spirit of Wine —the airy portion of wine.

ASTROLOGY. A LONELY spirit seeks the midnight hour, When souls have power To cast away one moment bonds of clay, And touch the day With pallid wistful lips beyond the earth, And bring to birth New thoughts with which life long has travailed ; As if one dead Should rise and utter secrets of the tomb, And from hell’s womb Or heaven’s breast bring all the load of fears, Toils of long years, Sorrows of life and agonies of death, Hard caught-up breath, The labouring hands of love, the cheeks of shame, The gloomy flame 99

The spirit, which probably lacks footwear, respects (at least in this particular) the delicacy of ladies, and never shows his feet but under a drapery or a cloth. The production of these feet very much tires and frightens Mr. Home.
