On, hear it Not in all the earth
Has song SO sweet, so beautiful bean heard ?
Each leaf pOurs forth q sad refrain,
And each belated bird
And brooks, and dying flowers,
And winds that fret on still the same,
And not a r%ustling weed,
Nor tassled corn, but joins the sweet refrain!
Dear time u would's: that thou could'stnevsr
Ae change!
Oh, golden leaf, and leaves of bronze,
I vhirl with thee all cares away
And throw my every burden down!
The apples in the orchard heaped,
The hay grown rusty in the stack,
The crickets song more ndistinct
The day doth nothing lack
Dream on 1T says to joyous youth
Dream on !-For, fair ones, could'st thou
know
Bow near the days of sadness draw,
The frosts Of care, and sorrows snow,
Thy eyes would scan that time in fear;
But st-an trust atrusr power than thins'
And may He, in his mercy, grant
Your lives a peaceful, golden, Autumn time!'

Dr. T. w. M. Marshall lectured last evening at the
Cooper Institute under the auspices Of the Catholic

lecture was "Progress OF the Nineteenth Century,
although II he mad entitled 1t deterioration OF the
Nineteenth Century, 1t would have been lar more
In keeping with the general tenor OF what he said
and what he tried to make his hearers be-

adopted Professionalism. Indeed, more gloomy
