KNITTING.

knitting gayly in the sunshine,
While the fragrant blossoms blow,
And the light winds stir the petals
Till they fall lise takes of snow;
Laughing gladly, glancing shyly
AT the lover by her side
Saucy dimpleS. coy confessions,
All msideu'S love aud pride;
Weaving in with skillful fingers
Girlish fancies, pure desires,
While the brightness OF the 10 ure
Flashes through the twinSling wires
And young hearts fond ambitions
Tender hopes and golden dreams,
Deepen as the sunlight deepens;
With its thousand darts and CLEANS.
knitting silent in tho shadows.
With dropping, weary head,
Gazing out into the twilight,
Whence the life and light had fed;
Moving uerveleSs, lanSuld fingers,
striving TO bd bright i'll vain,
And 10 still the hearts Wild HITTER
Throobing IN Its mighty pain.
Working through the SILKY texture
All woman's augutshed fears,
Looking odt on past and future
Through mist Of burning tears,
Knitting patient in the twiltght

While The roses shed their petals
In q fragrant summer snow.
knitting flefcely, in the anguish
Cfa burning. fiery strife,

OF "A cam hearts happy life.
Knitting heavily and slowly,
In life's last lltful hours
or skinfuly and gayly,
Among the summer flowers,
Weaving in u glorious failure,
Ola soul dumb aching pam,
With the memory OF pleasures
That Will never come again.
Thus woman's life is bounded
BY the humble, daily task,
Meekly taking up her burden.
Pausipg not TO strive or ask.
Ali how many hearts beside us,
We're we not so worldly-wise,
Might we see in gentle moments.
Looking out from wistiul eyes;
And how often. did we listen,
Meath gay and laughing tone,
Gould we hear the bitter yearDing

home to Baltimore. He took to his bed four
weeks ago, and only yesterday morning was
aware that his disease was fatal. Then he ap-
peared to realize that his condition was danger
GUS, and was at once apparently resigned to his
fate. Being brought up In the Catholic faith,
Father Kendrlck, OF the immaculate Concep.
ton Church, was called in and an hour before
Mr.. Lanagan's death, administered the last
rites of the church. At $50 O'Clock, while his
v ife and daughter, and his aunt, Mrs. Lyles, of
