THE TWO GLASSES.

There sat two glasses filed to the brim.
On & rich mans table, rim to rim
One was ruddy and red as blood,
And one was clear a. the crystal Hood.
Said the glass of wine TO his paler brother,
Let Us tell the tales Of the past to each
other;
lean tel of banquet and revel and mir:h,
And the proudest and erandest souls on
earth,
Fell under my touch as though struck by
blight.
Where l was king, for ruled in might.
From the heads of kings have l torn the
crown,
From the heights of fame have hurled
men down:
] have blasted many an hOnOrcd name,
have taken virtue and given shame;
Ihave tempted the youth with sip, a taS;e,
That has made the future a barren waste.
Far greater than any king am l,
Or than any army beneath the sky.
| have made the arm of the driver fail,
And sent the train from the IRON rail.
| have made good ships go down at sea,
And the shricks of the lost were sweet to me
For they said, Behold how great you be!
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before You
fall,
And yOCr might and power are oyer all
Ho. no. pale brother" laughed the wine,
"Can you boast of deedsa as brave as mine2"
Said the water glass: II cannot boast
OF king dethroned or a murdered host;
But l can tell Of hearts that once were sad,
By my crystal drops made light and glad,
OF thirsts I've quenched and brows I've
layed;
OF hands I've cooled and souls I've saved;
l have leaped through the valley, dashed
down the mountain;
Slept in the sunshine and dropped from
the sky,
And everywhere gladdened the landscape
and eye.
| have eased the hot forehead of fever
and pain;
l have made the parched meadows grow
fertile with grain;
l can tell of the powerful wheel Of the mill
That ground out the flour and turned at
my will;
l can tell of manhood debased by you
That have lifted and crowned anew.
l cheer, / help, strengthen and aid,
| gladden. the heart of man and maid;
l set the chained wine-captIve free,
And all are better for knowing me"
These are the tales they told each other,
The glass of wine and its pale brother,
As they sat together filled to the brim,
On the rich mans table rim TO rim.

Mt Carmel, Illinois, that was destroyed
by a tornado last summer, has recuper-
aed so far as to cry out that it wants a
national bank. We should think a
savings bank, on the Chicago plan, would
suit better; it wouldn't make such a
racket as the tornado, but IT would sweep
things great deal cleaner.
