POETRY.
Madrigal.

BY EDMUND CLARENCE sTEDMAN.
IDorus to Lycoris, who reproved him for incon.
stancy)
Why should constant be?
The bird in yonder tree,
This leaty summer,
Hath not its last years mate,
Nor breads to venture fate
With new conner.
Why should fear to sip,
The sweets of each red lip?
In every bower
The rowing bee may taste
tLest aught should run to waste)
Each fresh-blown flower.
The tickling rain doth fall
Upon US one and all;
- The south wind kisses
Ihe sauey milk-maid's cheek,
The nuns, demure and meek,
Nor any misses.
Then ask no more of me
That should constant be,
Nor exc desire it;
Take not such idle pains
To hold our love in chains,
Nor coax, nor hire it.
Rather, like some bright elf,
Be all things in thysef,
Forever changing,
SO that thy latest mood
May ever bring new food
To Fancy ranging.
Forget what thou vast first,
And, as loved thee erst
In soul and feature,
I'll love thee out of mind
When each new morn shall find
Thee new creature.
-"Midsummer Holiday Namber" Of Scribner.

the st. Dennis Store robbers, but was
subsequently, re-arrested and placed in
irons. AT the following session of ou1
District Court he was tried, but owing
to the absence of important witnesses /
verdict of not guilty was rendered

he has been occasionally committing
petty misdemeanors.
