consistent with the narrow-souled fabrica-

Abundant and unquestionable statistics
have demonstrated beyond cavil that
while the glass-blower, for example, has
had more work and higher wages under
the Tariff of 1912, the prices of glass

DREAM.

DREAM.
There never was an earthly dream
Ofbeauty and delight,
That mingled not too soon with clouds,
As sun-rays with the night;
That faded no from that fond heart
Where once it loved TO stay,
And left that heart more d%esolatc
For having felt its sway.
There never was q glad bright eye,
But it was dimmed by tears,
Caused by such griefs as ever dull
The sunshine of our years,
We look upon the sweetest flower.
'Tis witbered soon. and gone;
We gaze upon a star, to find
But darkness where il shown.
There never was q noble heart,
A mind of worth and power,
That had not IN this changing world
Plain misery for its dover;
The laurel on the brow hath hid
From many a careless eye,
The secret of the soul within,
Its blight and agony.
There never was-there cannot be
On earth a precious spring,
Whose waters TO the feVered lip
Unfailing W. may bring.
All changeth on this troubled shore,
Or passeih from the sight.
O, for that world where JOY and peace
Reign as eternal light.
