THE DAILY TIMES.

LIES EVANGELS.
Silent upon the threshold OF LIES portal
Sits the yelled Isis OF the FUTURE-a.
That time has vet of bitterness and sorrow
Lies hid beneath that dark, uplilted pail.
Behind US sadly stands mournul maiden,
With an enchanted mirror in her hand
Cyprus and yiolets on her brow are blended,
With daisies ever fresh from chIdhcods land.
The shadowy PAST gides DER the .changefu mirror
Like sunny tears and clouds DER April skies,
Or lit by venging lightnings that have smilten
The heart with agony that never dies
Thus the accusing and the unknown haunt US
The hidden woe and the remembered pain;
But FAITH and Duty the orbed Present
With angel pinons hide the phantoms twain.
