The busy city lies a-dream-
UnbrOken silence reignS;
Its weary hearts and weary heads
Obvious to their pains
It's weary hearts and weary heads
ObliviOus TO their woe
While alone the vigils keep,
And dream Of long ago.
I walk through memory's corridors
Beneath the broad MONDAY
I see a happy childish group
Beneath an oak al play,
And one the most recognize.
The happiest is he

see q family group around
The winter hearth arrange;
The sire relates fairy tale
An ancient story story strange
And one / know among the rest.
With childish rapture filled,
Who lists in breathless wonderment.
Whose interest is thrilled.
And one see among that group
How like ! seraph now!-
She smoothes that wondering chilJ's l,i
hair
Back from his waXen brow;
She bends and on his parted lips.
She gives the stainless kiss,
Whilst from her heart ascends the PRAYER
Up for his happiness.
How pure, how chaSte doth she reveal
Through these quick tears!-and now
How sacred and how calmly fair
The love-light on her brow!
How doth these earthly passions draop
That once seemed far above,
How shrinks the world to liitlene,,
Beside her spotless love!

Where dropping willows weep
Where many stone keeps brieT record.
Where loved and lost ones sleep:

see "a lonely ruin now,
Sid, silent as the dead;
And There, where merry laughter rose.
Complains the owl instead,
While through the fallen roof streams dow
Pale Luna, silver rays
Upon the earth, where gathered once
The lights Of other days.
Beneath sunny, eloudlcss sky.
Upon Lies broad highway,
see youth step bravely forth
Into the busy day;
The sunny sky becomes o'crcast.
The stars fade, dim and Few,
And round him shrclss the wintry blast
- faint hr struggles through.
From ont my chamber mirror looks
\ pallid. cstrc-woTn face,
Upon whose etched and haggard brow
Time many "a scar doth trace;
Upon whose etched and haggard brow
The hair, are thin and few;
From out whose features, thin and wan,
The sriuuing skull looks through.

Laura DeForce Gordon is making
herself famous in the East as an ear
nest and eloquent pleader for the cause
Of Human Rights. Many flattering no.
tices of her speeches have been pub
lished in prominent Eastern papers.
and it is predicted of her that she will
yet rival the hitherto peerless Eliza
beth Cady Stanton on the rostrum. We
heartily congratulate Laura on her de-
served and well-earned enconiums.
Long may she live to do battle for the
right.

Elsewhere will he found poetic gem,
entitled Memories" Mr.. Maybell, the
author, may well be proud of this, his
latest production. 1t is above criticism.
There are but few to whom the simple
yet eloquent words and fond memories
will not come home with thrilling ef-
feet Beyond all question this poem
shows the author to be possessed of po-
etical talent Of the highest order. Read
and judge for yourselves.
BY the way, remember that Mr.. May
bell gives a lecture and readings to-
night at the Masonic Hall.

ministers preach much against the

this sum pay rent, provisions, clothing,

to find their corresponding colors in ev-

True rs gospel, men are equally rs

comes when women cease to be an in

cule and false charges of Inconsistency,
tickleness, gossip, frivolity, vanity, co.
quetry, etc, there will be a dearth OF
topics among them. Certainly they
cannot then turn to the contemplation
of their own idiosyneracies, peeuliarltles,
weaknesses and faults. In woman they
have exhausted the subject. a truce to
charges and counter-charges. Men ana
