The pet birl ehrps, in his gilded cage,
Calls softly and clear and sweet,
Then turns his head aud listens long
For the eoEing II little feet;
Cries loudly, aud futters with sudden fight
As II IN some way he could know
That sorroE has falltn, an agony come,-
They arc bringing the dead below.
Tiny hands clasping broken string,
Eyes sealed under lids Of snow,
Like the faded flowers on the floor upstairs
That were blooming an hour ago.
The silken hair all tangled and wet
Clings close 10 the forehead fair,
And cold, dark water streams from the robes
That were wrought with such dainty care
The baby is drowned and death and grief
Sit still in the darkencd place,
While slant Sunbcams from the glowing west
Crecpin DER the wlxen face,
Creep in ON the nursery floor above
Where the ruined blockhcusCs lie,
As have fallen the plans for his future life
That were buildtd so fair and high.
The sun drops low and night cometh on
q, the night Of sorrow is long
And mothers gather their darliugs close
Witt kisses and lullaby song!
Oh for the clingihg clasp OF those arms
And the warmth of that baby kiss
But the angels have him, aud COP knows best
Why life should be darkness like this.

one summer, fair Katie and in the meadow
Mere merry stirring and tossing the hay,

OF conrse, it was only for sport and the trolic
You knew by the way that she handled the

That haymaScrs' art and Their countfyiearheu

Her hands were as soft an as white as the lilies
Mine hardened and brown by their toll in the
But brayely sne kept in the wake of the mowers
Till all of her sef-imposed labor was done.
The hay was all gathered in wnrows, and wait

When homeward we turned, as the sunset was
gliding
Win beautiful shadows the maple lined road.
She talked of the things she had known in the

While the eyes of The maiden, in spite OF my

And then, in the twilight, i told her the story

How, long had dreamed that the love OF my
darling
Would crown with new gladness the swift
coming years.
Her answer was low, and the birds, if they
listened,
Heard words that were true and so tender in
tone
That knew we should travel lifes pathway
together,
Since neither was willing to journey alone.
The years in heir fitting have stolen the roses
That bloomed on her cheek and the gloss from

Bat dearer to me than my bride in her beauty

With shouts of wild laughter, are browning

THE Democratic state government IN
Kentucky is unable to put down the Ku-
Klnx murderers who carry on their vio-
lence almost within sight of the state
capitol, and some of the Democratic papers
Of that state call upon the President to
send United States troops into the infected
district. The same papers abused him
without stint for doing in other states what
they now ask him to do in Kentucky.

IT is said that the Conservative party in
Virginia are appealing to the women for
aid in the coming struggle. They are
asked to disdain the men who will not
come up to the help of the Conservatives,
and who will not at all hazards vote the
Conservative ticket in November. This
is altogether novel piece Of strategy. A
man would vote almost any ticket
rather than be the object Of such disdain.
