Around IL still the sumacs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife's carved initial.
The charcoal frescoes on ifs walls;
Its doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow TO school,
Went storming cut TO playing.
Long years ago a winters sun
Shone over IL at setting;
Lit mp its western window panes,
And low caves Icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curIs,
And brown eyes full of grieving,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
His cap was pulled low on his face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered,
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the trembling OF her voice,
AS II a fault confessing.
"I'm sorry that spelled the word,

Because"-ths brown eyes lower fell

Still memory to gray haired man
That sweet child face is showing;

How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss
Like her-because they love him.

A BOARDING HOUSE ATTACHE.
Apropos OF the recent exposure of the
Katie King Manifestations in Philadelphia
the Cincinnati Commercial gives the fol-
lowing running commentary on the late
article of Robert Dale owen appearing in the
January Atlantic: Since katie King has
been so far "materializedr that she has
been traced to her boarding house, and
has fallen into the hands OF the
reporters, il is fair to assume that
she is mortal, of the earth earthly.
And yet, in the Atlantic Monthly for Janu-
airy, Robert Dale Owen tells how, for '.iortv
memorable sittings," he looked at her as a
esprit, "and the more thorough the evidence
was that she was earthly creature -
the more perfectly he was persuaded
that she was the daughter of a
pirate, and had been dead some hundreds
of years, and the more he worshiped her
supernatural beauty. June 9TH DR.. Child
was allowed, according to Mr.. Owen to feel
the pulse of Katie, the spirit, "and its beats
were distinct, about seventy -two a minute. y
This would have seemed, to any but con-
6ding lunatics, proof that the spirit
was living woman, but Mr.. owen
and the intellectual DIR. Child
couldn't see it. Then the pbiloso-
pher owen placed gold ring upon her fin
ger, and he says: "The hand, beautifully
formed, was like that of a mortal woman,
