FINGERS OF TIME.
BY LUKE GARLAND.

By LUKE GARLAND.
. I'm growing old, and weary
OF the vanities Of life,
It's pathway dark and dreary-
It's never ceasing strife.
Ambitions paths, tho glistening,
Are rugged at the best;
For my SUMMONS / am listening
I'm weary; let me restl
The dark, mysterious fingers
OF Time have touched my form,
And DER my face there fingers
The trace of many a storm.
Ny brow, once white and noble,
Is furrowed DER with care,
And gloomy days OF trouble
Have silyered DER my hair.
My steps, once light and springing;
Have lost their ease and grace;
Lilies sDmber shadows bringing
Fierce pains TO i'll their place.
My bark is tempest stranded
Mid bowling winters blast;
I'll drift until I'm landed
In Heavens port at last.

The editor of q newspaper which wears
a patent inside should be very careful
about writing sarcasm for his outside. At
Nashville there is an establishment which
prints the insides of great number of
the weekly journals of Tennessee, and the
editor of the sprightly Lebanon Herald,
DR.. r. L. G. White, receives his inside
from the Nashville concern. DR.. White
having seen in the daily Union and Ameri-
can, of Nashville, the poem called "All
Quiet Along the Potomac" sat down and
wrote for his outside very sarcastic para
graph npon the folly of the Nashville daily
in publishing such verses. Mr.. Bell, Of
the Union and American, read DR.. Whites
earcasm. Instead of snatching I'D a pen
and writing down DR.. White a bowling
idiot and midnight assassin, Mr.. Bell quiet.
ly picked up pair of scissors and cut
CAN Quiet Along the Potomac" from the
Union and American containing it, then
leisurely walked down to the establish
ment where Dr.. Whites inside is printed
and gave the poem to the editor of the
patent insides, requesting it's publication.
The verses were accepted, and when Dr.
White got his next inside from Nashville
it had CAN Quiet Along the Potomac"
in as conspicuous a position as his worst
enemy could have wished to see it after
reading it's sarcasm. If news comes from
Tennessee that DR.. White has resumed the
control of his own inside, his friends in
other parts of the country will understand
the change.-Courier Journal.

CHE MORNG STAR CATHOLIC MESSENGER SUNDAY MARcR
Our Gallant Firemou.

On Wednesday last, March fourth, on,
fremen turned out en- nsasse, to celebrate
the thirty seventh anniversary of their or.
ganization.
We de not think that any of the other
gala days recognised in the calendar of the
Crescent City, can equal in popular enthu-
siasm, the Fourth of March, which for
| these many years has been observed by our
firemen in commemoration of their organixa-
ton, and at which time they march. through
our principal streets, passing in review a.
is were, before their friends, 10 whose num-
Der every inhabitant of our city, would
wish to be included.
The procession of Wednesday was one
of the largest we have ever witnessed, the
engines, trucks and hose carriages were
profusely and tastefully decorated, and
the members themselves, walked with
erect form and marshal tread, like men
proud. of the noble mission entrusted tn
them and conscious of having we'll and
faithfully fulfilled their duties in the past.
pleasant incident of the day was the
presentation to Columbia of a beautiful
wreath by Sister Irene, the address being
made by Miss E. Athens and responded to
by President O'Connor. At the same time
Father Allen christeued the horse 80 gal
lantly won at st. Patrick's Fair, by Five.
We return thanks to Perseverance 10
for the compliment of a charming serenade,
executed in splendid style by Sullivan's
Hibernia Band. In Mr.. Dan Moriarty, as
Marshal and Mr.. John Fitzpatrick as Fore
man, Perseverance has officers who dis
charge their duties we'll and who are justly
popular.
The weather was clear and pleasant, and
all things considered the Fourth of March
"a was as full of enjoyment as any of it's
predecessors.
