STUDENT. Professor, bear with me awhile. My thoughts true, first cause are seeking, For laws so good in peace-you smile So poor when earth with crime is reeking.
 PROFESSOR. My son, am most proud to guide Your mind to truth; yourvery asking An answer to a want so wide, Is proof of Truth, black crime e'er tasking. The law but tries to reach the goal With human power and human reason, While round us and beyond the whole, By parts is wrought the Truth iD season. Twas many a year ago lived In Mexico. There reigned but anarchy. Torn from that which they first believed, No Truth had since built up Monarchy. While free from evil spirits, they But strive to find their tables daily; And then at night, to harps, their way Is joyously to dance and gaily. The gambling booth holds fast its sway With these true children of the sun; Between their games and dances soft tarray, The weak are frequently undone.
 
 This loss at first begets despair, Then follows quick the cold resolve To plunder those caught in their lair; Their losses with their crimes absOlve.) Success may crown their first essays: Then bolder grow they, thus succeeding, Till iron bound in guilty ways They harden, law, nor truth, nor church

And of to his harlot he creeps- She, sleeping knows naught but of resting; Blood stained, scared, into her bed he

 And there he is found; for when the truth Was known throughout that southern will

 Like mutte1ings from the tigers lair, Increasing slowly, slowly, surely growing. And fiercer grew the swelling force, And louder still the waves were calling, With voices, strange to each, all hoarse With mystic passion, with ire appalling.

 Until that judgment weak can make Our human laws just as the laws of heaven The source of all our law will take This power, thus ito set all things even.'
 WHAT a wonderful thing love is t' woman! How it helps her to know that some one is always fond of her that rejoices when she rejoices, ant l that sorrows when she grieves; to b

 that her face is fairer to one, a , least, than faces that are far nor beautiful-that one great heart hold
