How lonely and cheerless this waiting,
Impatiently, treading the floor,
W tn nou. hit but the clocks solemn ti;iing
To break the dull stiffness all Ger.
81 thoughts, they stray backwards. far
backwards,
To years that are long PAST and Ger.
Then, as to night, was anxious,
And impatiently treading the floor.
Then | vas boyish and impulsive,
loved for to wander and roam,
Far from oil kind ones who love me,
Far from all dear ones and home.
Though, before going, | faltered,
was wrong, and my heart rebelled sore,
With those thoughts in my mind still con-
ficting,
l was anxiously treading the floor.
And. tonight, oh! SO plain DER the sha-
dows,
O'ercast by The long tedious years,
The dear ones and home far behind me,
Distinctly and vivid appears.
Are they still living and happy
As that night when ! left them of yore!
I would that tonight could think SO,
lmpatiently treading the floor.

The Snow Prayer.

A little girl went out to play one day
in the fresh, new snow, and, when she
came in, she said:
mamma, I couldn't help praying
when / was out at play"
"What did you pray for, my DEAR"
asked her mother.
II prayed..the Snow Prayer, mamma,
that l heard in the Sunday school"
"Tbe Snow Prayer what do you
mean, little one 7"
"I mean that beautiful Snow Prayer,
in the Bible, mamma; you know it,
"Wash me, and I shall be whittier than
snow"

The tobacco industry is one of the
greatest and most valuable in the coun-

prosperity is hard to estimate. Still,
acknowledging that the national treas

Fashion Notes

Kid gloves are cheaper than o. any time
since the war. They car be bought now Aom
fifty cents per pair to sl.5o.
Light-colored csshmeres are combined with
gros grain silks Of tho same shade for evening
dresses.
1t Is now customary to buy two wedding
rings instead Of one, as fashion, with sinsulay
impartiality, dictates that the groom shall
wear ono as we'll as the bride.
Long, black kid gloves are popular for both
day and evening wear.
Tho newest silver cake-baskets are much
lower than formerly, and consequently make
handsomer table ornaments.
Handsome fans are made Of artificial flowers,
highly porfumed.
The latest thing In rings Is bangle ring, to
he worn on the little finger, the faysrlto motto
for which Is "Maspah"

The following poem was written By

sing aspiysnt for lyric fs,nes
Rocks aud shoals OF the sea,
Tide Of the under waves.
Surf OF the meaning lee,
where the hurricane raves
Green sleeps that are storm rent and serbia
Wild sown with the spoils Of the thero,
The night has p nssed on and the peril,
And the mariners struggle ne moro.
Sing for the brave ship Loot;
Chant for the lives that lie
In unknown havcns tossed,
Under sobbins shy.
Sing requiem, praise 10 the valos
Unshaken though Fats held the eeopree;
But dawnlight unveils the stern pallor
OF faces swept cold by the sufEe
Wreck on tho snlcn bar,
Never In battle a-sea;
Iron girted for war,
Challenge shall echo from then
Stsrm. darkness. aud depths were thy foensa,
But each hero stood 10 his postI
Oh, master and sailor and ycoman,
Your names shall give fame 10 the coasA
Gulfs and caves OF the deep,
Aged ssas without pulse.
Let them sleep well Who sleey
Tapped In sca. weed and dulse;
They miss not the legend enersven-
The delicate springing Of flowers;
