quietly replied the lapidary, resuming

TIE RLowN ROSE.
BY CATHERINE FILLER.

Under the blooming locust boughs,
Fair in the shadows cool and dim,
She stands like q fairy, lightly nois ed,
Thinking sweet thoughts Of him.
The zephyrs blow the vetches growing,
The sweet-alyssum's odors rise
In fragrant waves, around her flowing,
And in her heart is Paradise.
The beat Of her heart is musical,
Her life Is a poem set to song;
Flowers Of hope, and faith, and joy,
Blossom her path along.
And there in the way of her feet tonight
Lies rose Of love is newly blooming,
Opening to the crimson core,
Where the golden honey y-drop Is glowing.
All, sweet Is the bliss of meeting hearts,
The love unuttered, but still known,
The thrill of the youthful hands that clasp
Together the rose, full blown;
When knowledge pure Ger virgin souls
Sweeps, like strain down-swept CT wings
Celestial, when sersphic hands
Strike rapturous love from golden strings.
Under the odor-freighted boughs,
In dalsied ways she lightly stands,
Thinking Of him, the while he comes
To lay the full-blown rose in her hands.

To LOVE in order to be loved in re-

A QUESTION FOR 0RBACHELoRS-W0UL YOU! !!
Baby, growing on your knee,
While you sing some little ditty,
Pulls your hair or thumbs your eye;
Would you think it wasn't pretty?
Tell me, could you?
If you owned "the baby would you?
Wife with arms about your neck,
Says you " look Just like the baby"
Wants some cash to make "spec;"
And you would refuse her--may be!

The Starving Poor of Scranton.

Scranton, March l6.-The committee
appointed at the mass meeting of the
unemployed mechanics and laborers
for the purpose of obtaining relief for
the starving poor waited on the mayor
Yesterday to ask his cooperation.
The mayor pledged himself to use his
best efforts in their behalf, and assured
them that assistance wotld be granted
without delay. A meeting of business
man will be held this evening to form
relief committees and take such other
action as may be necessary to give i'm
ediate assistance to the suffering poor.
The chairman of the workingmen's
meeting says the men were growing
impatient, and that nothing but
prompt relief would retain them from
riot and plunder. Even now it is a
difficult matter to pacify the most
desperate of their number who have
been driven almost to madness by the
walls of their wives and children cry
ing for bread
