A man passed over The road
In he early days of Sp ing,
VII II the graudest flower that ever bIoomed
Was brightly LIossoming.
And never a word he spoke,
And his face was marble cold,
But millions OF men above him wept,
And a million bells were tolIed.
And the cities were draped In black
And the towns acre wrapped in gloom,
g For he is dead the people said
= Who made the flower to bIoomn
Down many swaIthy face
Unnumbersd tear-drops flowed
- For he is gone the bondman spoke
= Who lifted our weary load"
And hey builded him a tomb
Afar in tn. silent West.
And tIat bea utItul flower which men call Peace
Spread its lea sboys hi reast.

Ere the summer days we're dead,
Aui the leaves Of flowers tina. blOomed spring

AEd many worS he spoke,
And his AFRO CANT face flushed,
AMI he laugh a 40 ID with th- noisy crowd
When the leaves Of tho flower were crushed.
But down many a swaIthy face
Flowed tears OF b ler.st pain,

A Parental LEr7ER.-Ths following letter
was written by father to his son in College
My Dear Son l write to send you your
new socks which you mother has just knit by
cutting down some of mine. Your mother
sends you ten dollars without my knowledge
and for fear you would not spend it wisely,
kept back half, and only send you FIVE. Your
own mother and | are well, except that your
sister has got the measles, which we think
would spread among the other girls if Tim
had not had them fore, and he is the only
one left. l hope you will do honor to our
teaching; if you do not you are q donkey,
aud your mother and myself are your afes-
tionate parents.
