Tis Morning, and the Days are Long.

l had n dream of other days:
in golden luxury shone the wheat,
In tangled greenness shook the maizoi
The 8 irrels ran with nimble feet,
And in nd out among the trees
The hng bird darted like flame,
The catbird piped her melodies,
Purloining every warblers fame:
And then heard the triumphal song,
otis morning, and the days are long"
They scattered roses, strewed the palms,
And shouted down the pleasant wales;
heard thousand happy psalms,
And laughing wove thousand tales
or mimic revelry and Joy;
They mocking well the worldly great
Each tanlacod girl and barefoot boy,
Dear shapers OF my early tato--
And then again the 1colian song,
otis morning, and the days are long"
Far winding past the storiod town,
The river ran through bosky groves,
Its floods we sailed our vessels down,
Full lreigllted with myriad lovesi
OuT Souls went lloutliA W tho h'''o9i
With scarlet leaves and sheads OF bark,
We named them cutters, schooners, sails,
And watched them Jade in shadowy dark
Then down the water flowed the song,
otis morning, and the days are long"
OH morning, when the days are long,
And youth and innocence are wed,
And every grove is full of song,
And every pathway void of dread;
Who rightly sings its rightiul praise,
Or rightly dreams it DER again,
When cold and narrow are the days,
And shrunkcn all the hopes OF men,
lie shall reawaken with his song.
" lis morning, and the days are long"
There palpitations wild and sweet,
The thrills of many an old delight,
And dimpled hands that lightly meet,
And hearts that trenblc to unite,
Arise upon the rosy morn.
Pass down the lovely wales and stand,
A picture OF memory born,
The mirage OF lotus land
A land where once we trolled the song,
lis morning, and the days aIe long"

TIMELY TOPICS.

Agigantic engineering scheme is that
of M. de Sainte Anne to bridge the En-
glish channel. AS proposed by him the
bridge would be about twenty-five
miles long. Itwould rest on at least IT'S
immense stone piers, built to height
of nearly one hundred and fifty feet
above the sea level,the piers in the deep
est portion of the channel extending
nearly two hundred feet below the sur
face of the water. The cost is estimated
at 300, 100000 francs.

1t was in the reign of Alexis Mikhailo-
witch, father of Peter theGreat, about the
middle of the seventeenth century, that
Liberia received its first caravan of GRIM
inals, and there has been regular an
nual succession of them since. The
yearly contingent increased largely un-
der the late Emperor Nicholas, and from
about 5000 in the middle of his reign
the total number of transported persons
has risen to $1,000 or $4,000 under Alex
ander IL, or comprising other countries
than Siberia, 10000. While a portion
of these convicts in Siberia are con-
demned to hard labor another and much
larger portion simply hold the position
OF forced colonists forbidden to leave q
certain place. The slight barrier of the
Ural is easily passed by the fugitive con-
victs, and distance is not of much ac-
count to Russian. The police arrest
annually large number of the deserters.

1t is generally believed that large
outlay of capital and considerable engin-
eering skill would be required to create
an island sea on the African continent.
After several explorations, however, Mr.
Donald Mackenzie boldly asserts that by
piercing a sand-bar three hundred yards
covering sixty thousand square miles.
Communication once established with
the ocean, he thinks the in-rush of water
would create a navigable channel. The
interior sea would occupy the great
basin of the El Joof, depression of the
western part of the desert, two hundred
feet in depth below the level of the ocean.

In the South the number of small cot
ton factories is increasing rapidly, espe-
cially in Georgia and South Carolina.
They are mainly run by water power in
neighborhoods where there is small
population which would have no other
employment during certain seasons of
the year. 1t has been found that colored
boys and girls are quite dexterous at the
spindle, and that where the little mills
are located there is much more peace and
order than in hamlets where there is no
industrial attractions for the idle. The
cotton is near at hand, the running power
is cheap, the workmen are attracted by
the novelty and by the opportunity to
labor under sheltering roofs, the warps
command ready market and the profits,
relieved of much of the expense of heavy

These two anecdotes will suggest to
the youth who desires to become an
orator two primary lessons. One is
that unless the subject possesses the
speaker, he will fail to make it take
hold of the audience. The second is,
that deep feeling is essential to the
speaker who would produce emotion in
others.

An officer in the army, who has spent
a good many years on the frontier, says
the Sioux are afraid of the mountain
Utes, their dread of them dating back
fifty years. In those days both tribes
found choice hunting on the Laramie
plains. The Utes were disposed to re-
gard the Sioux as intruders, and finally
forbade them coming into that region
for the purpose of hunting. The Sioux
continued to come there, disregarding
the claims of the Utes, and challenging
them to contest with bow and arrow,
the frearm being unknown among
them at that time. One summer the
Utes got wind of an intended hunt by
the Sioux, and sent out to intercept the
enemy. A party of several hundred
rode up into the mountains north of
where Fort Steele now is, and ambus-
caded in narrow canon, the sides Of
which were covered with thick growth
of timber, affording the most perfect
concealment. The Sioux hunters
over 100 strong came fling down
through the canon, when, at signal,
the Utes, from their concealed position,
opened upon them with arrows. The
surprise was SO complete that over 100
of the Sioux were slain then and there.
The Sioux have since become prof.

sammy's Morning Walk.
It was the same Sammy who was
nearly choked by caterpillar wl':n be-
was trying to steal sugar out Of the
sugar-bowl. -.........
One cool morning in the fall, when
he was about 4 years old, he slept
very late, and when he awo|o he
seemed to be all alone in the house,
To tell the truth, it was so late that the
older children had all gone to sciool,
and his mother was out behind the
shed hanging out clothes.
Sammy found his little jacket and
trousers, and, taking them on his arms,
went all over the house for some one to
dress him, but nobody could he find.
Il know what I'll dol" he said to
himself. @Ill go over to Mrs. Pack
er's. She's a good woman, and she'll
dress me-"
He had never been over there more
than two or three times, for his family
had lately moved there, and the house
was quite out of sight over the hill
"across lots," but he remembered the
way, and trudged along.
It was q frosty morning, and the
weeds and bushes he had to go
through we're as high as his head, and

shirt and the clothes he carried were as
wet as if they had been dipped in the

Mrs. Packer was busy working over
butter, when she heard a very gentle
tap at the door.
"Come in!" she said, both hands be-
ing in the butter.
In came Sammy, dripping like
drowned rat, and his legs so covered
with the blossoms from the goiden-rod
through which he mad come that they
were as yellow as Brahma chickens.

Mrs. Packer.
"Our folks was all gone, but 1 knew
you would dress me-" said Sammy, sit

Luckily for Sammy, Mrs. Packer had

him home in some dry clothes. And

A Witty ParsOn.

A Scotch clergyman by the name of
Watty Morrison was man of most ir-
repressible humor. Gu one occasion a
young officer scoffed at the idea that it
required so much time and study to
write a sermon as ministers PRETEND
and offered bet that he would preach
half an hour on any passage in the Old
Testament without the slightest prepare
ton. Mr. Morrison took the bet and he
gave for text, "And the ass opened his
mouth and he spake." The parson won
the wager, the officer being rather dis
inclined to employ his eloquence upon
that text.
On another occasion Mr.. Morrison
entreated an officer to pardon a poor
soldier for some offense he had COM
mitted. The officer agreed to do so if
he would in turn grant him the first
favor he should ask.
Mr.. Morrison agreed to this. In q
day or two the officer demanded that
the ceremony of baptism should be
performed on puppy. The clergyman
agreed to it; and a party Of many gen.
tlemen assembled to witness the novel
baptism.
Mr.. Morrison desired the officer to
hold up the puppy, as was customary
in the baptism of children, and said:
Gas am minister of the Church of
Scotland, I must proceed according to
the ceremonies of the church."
"Certainly," said the Major; II
expect all the ceremony"
"Well, then, Major; I begin by the
usual question, You acknowledge
yourself the father Of this pa1ppy?'"
A roar Of laughter burst from the
crowd; the officer threw the candidate
for baptism away, and thus the witty
minister turned the laugh against the
infdel, who intended to deride the
sacred ordinance.

FAREWELL AT THE LAST DAY.
BY G. L, MARION.

Dreams have been through all ages
Dreams strangely vivid have been dreampt
By bards, lovers and by sages.
Whose fancies seemed from naught exempt
That would grace hi turic pages:
Or, through od'ity, @ ,rtn would tempt.
Yet my recital of all uncouth dream
May be, withal, not fit poetic theme; ....,-
And some may smile, but if 1 tell
That earth fancied passed away,
1t strangely may the awe impel
That hearts will feel in their smay.
When DER this world voice shall swell
To warn us of the judgment day
The day when every human soul shall know
Its eternal fate-the fruits of what we SOW.
Dire shapes were mine in dreamland formed;
1t seemed LIES work had ceased to be,
And DER earth's surface blindly roamed
Poor mortals in deep misery.
The wsters skyward madly foamed,
As rose the dead from out the sea,
Then Gained the ocean back again and left
Them stand who long of life had been bereft
OF awful sights that e'er were seen
Upon the earth or down beneath,
twas this host in dismal sheen,
SO chastity clothed in shrouds of death.
Though dead there came from lips between
A gust that gave apparent breath,
Heav1ng bosoms and causing eyes to CLEAN
As passed the dead ashore from off the stream.
And slow they moved through doubtful light,
For all seemed chaos. saw no sun;
Ihere shone no moon, nor stars on height;
ALI seemed like earth when first begun,
AS, through pale beams that vexed my sight
Marched living and the dead as one
To judgment, fore Judge in Justice dressed;
By whom, condemned were some, and others blest
At once, when each had learned their fate
Forth radiance blu st from high.
And souls were doomed to separate,
Severng every earthly tie.
The blessed passed the golden gate,
Toward their home b yOnd the skv.
While some were not allowed heaven to share;
How these unfortunateS moaned in their despair
Beloved ones clasped each other tight:
The partngs filled my heart with ailings;
pious woman on the right
Deplored her sons earth failings;
But Satan claimed him to his might,
Needing not that mothers wailings.
Wives and husbands of each other were bereft;
Dear ones on the right, dear ones to the left
Forsooth, it seemed sorry thing
For souls that last adieu to speak
Farewell, twas not like here we sing,
Which doth but last day or week;
But theirs did untold anguish bring,
AS touched white lips bloonless cheek,
To seal the truth that they must sep rate.
Sinners wept; the blessed happy in their fate
Though this dream, its apt to rule
When that great day shall dawn in truth.
Ye mortals, in the vestibule
OF that great churcn beyond this youth.
Prepare your souls while on Gods stool
For after death there is no lutn);
Lost from those you love you're cast forever
Upon the left, DER that darkling river!

Daniel Drew.

Mr.. Drew was the son of farmer in
humble circumstances in Putnam
county, N. Y, and was born on the Oath
of July, 1897. The death of his father
in 1912 threw him entirely on his own
resources, and, taking passage on a
Hudson river sloop, he came to New
York and hired out as substitute for
draft soldier. He served his time with
the army, then took to the occupation of
a drover, soon becoming widely known
as trustworthy, and one of the keenest
judges of cattle in the trade. His sue
cess was so great that in 1929 he
established himself in New York as
cattle dealer. He soon began to launch
out, and purchased the first large drove
of cattle that crossed the Alleghanies.
By this and similar operations Mr..
Drew became the leading cattle.dealer
in New York.
In 1884 he began his career as a
steamboat man. In 1889, in conjunction
with Isaac Newton, he established the
celebrated Peoples Line to Albany, he
himself becoming the largest stock
holder. Mr.. Drew drifted into stock
speculation at about the same time with
his steamboat Investments. Then he
reached out for railroad control, and in
1856 was so heavily interested in Erie
that he guaranteed the company's &C.
ceptance for million and half. He
joined Vanderbilt in the Harlem direc-
torate and other enterprises, and,
through subsequent clashing with him,
lost fortune. In 1866 Mr.. Drew gave
Fisk his support, and was afterward re-
paid by Fisks joining Jay Gould and
well-nigh running Drew. In Erie trans
actions Mr.. Drew still held to the street,
but was badly beaten in the panic of
1873, and in 1875 withdrew from Wall
street, since which time he has been un-
engaged in business. He became a
bankrupt in 1875, with liabilities of over
100000 and an unprovided balance
of three hundred and forty odd thou
sand.
AS a Methodist Mr.. Drew will be
remembered by the Theological Semi
nary he founded at Madison, N. j., and
many liberal donations.-Ne1U York
