marvel much what name Of all thenames
Love reckons In his mystic alphabet .,.
Is sweetest to Loves ears tits amorous CLAIMS
The hardest to forget!
Turn hack the leaves OF Love's fair Calendar;
Red.letter days enough, trow, are there,
Names canonized meath many q moon anu star
Baptized with smile and tear.
Yolande, Iseuit, imperial Guinevere;
Fair Rosamond; and, dearer yet than these,
re Visest pupil OF the wisest seer,
Immortal Heloise.
Ay. and those, too. In older story writ:
Rachel and Leah; Rizpah's wasted youth;
TIaat oueenly Esther, and, with face faith liz,
Naomis gentle Ruth.
They whom the Masters perfect art hath kept
Forever young: 0phela, fair and good;
Sad Desdemona; and those twain who slept
In Puck's enchanted wood.
Juliet, Miranda, Perdita; 6 ad she ,.
Who, wandering through Arden's iealy snaHe, he,,d
Saw. "Rosal,nd' carved on each smootn-ooneo
Where'er her footsteps strayed..
Hero and Beatrice; snow pure Imogen;
False. tickle Jessics; and 'sweet Anne Pa8e;"
And she who bore, not answering again,
Her cruel sisters rage.
Tnesa hath Love loved in the dear days gone by;
But surely still, wherever sou cneeks uuln
And bright eyes droop, his pinions hover nlgn
Fer those who can discern.
And still he weayes his webs OF fond conceit
About soss syllables Of gentlest sound;
And stall the old names on his lips are sweet
Through the whole charmed round.
Still 70 our hearts ''si douce est Marguerite"
Sttll Helen smiles. and all our sharp woes cease:
Still Ksze is tanned and kissed-thrOugh full delea'
winning her perfect peace.
And still we ask: "what name OF all the names
Love reckons In his mystic alphabet
Ia sWeatest to loves ears FITS amorous claims
the hardest to forgetf" .U.
And stiIl the answer comes wherever eyes
Meet ewes through all the fair earth far and near,
And stiil to each but ore name Love replies;
tGo ask-and you shall hear"

ncials that they have net experienced so quiet
q time on the eve of the assembling Of Con-
greBs for many years. Although there have
been ID Washington for week past large
number OF senators and representatives. their
visits to the departments were few and far be-
tween, sndathe opportunities for places for
their constituents unfrequent. It is the gene
raj opinion In official circles that this unusual
hesitancy In seeking office Is caused by the
desire to avoid the stringent examination
