The suffclings Of poets when they
fall IN love must be something tro.
mendous, if one of them who writes
in the Home Journal is a fair sample.
lie begins by avorring that he loved
her ere he saw her iace-he loved
her for her lovely name her beauty
and celestial grace have kindled in
his heart flame that neither time nor
tide can tame. Now tho man who is
in such q condition of mind is. we
should think, much to be envied but
that is not his opinion, for he goes on
TO express the agony Of woe il the
following verses:
nc arrows quiverng IN my heart
tr'e TO draw 30, mad with pain;
Mine eyes grow din, my pulses start.
10. la'a streams course every vein.
Dehuum clasps my rcciing BRAIN
Our advice to this young man is 70
take u strong dose Of castor oil with.

Close the doors gently,
Bride the breath,
Our little earth angel
Is talking with Death
Gently he woes her,
She wishes to stay,
His arms are about hor--
lie bears her away.
Music comes floating
Down from the domej
Angels are chanting,
The sweet welcome home,
Come, stricken wcepcr-
Come to the bed,
Care on the sleeperj
Our idol is dead.
Smooth out the ringlets,
Close ihe'dark eyes
No wonder such beauty
Was claimed in the skies;
Cross the hand gently,
Der the white breast;
So like q wild spirit
Strayed from the blessed
Bear her out softly,
This idol Of ours
Let her grave slumbers
BE mid the wild flowers.
