A SUMNER DAX


Turquoise-breasted birds have sung the spring
away:
Pink arbutus leaves have blnshed farewell TO
May;
There's a soft, sweet presence lowering on
high
There's the whole of summer In the summer
sky.
When the dayl GIT fiuttcrs from their swing
ing nests,
Rise en- -aptured welcomes from cnraptured
brca IT,:
When the clouds of sunset stream like burn
ing lights.
There's the faint, low warbling OF their soft
goOd-nights.
There are rivers murmuring rs they onward
go.
That the pale spring Ioosencd into fuller How;
Now n wider glory in their sparkling hides
There's a summer's passion in their throbbing
tides;
Thin wings, sunshine-dusted, thro' the noon
tides go
Butterflies in silence fiuttering to and fro;
1here'sthe whole ripe sweetness Of the spring
gone by
There's the whole of summer in the summer
sky!
Mrs. L. c. B1ton, in W,de-AWdsc.

THE FUNDING BILL.

SENTIMENT IN REGARD TO ITS PASSAGE.
AN AMENDMENT TO THE FIFTH SECTION PROPOSED
By Mr.. coyGER-PRoBABLE FATE OF THE BILL
AN EASIER FEELING ON WALL STREET.
The sentiment against the passage of the
Funding bill in its present form has increased
at Washington, and it Is probable that the
bill will fail to pass il the fifth sec
tion is not stricken out or materially
amended. Mr.. Conger has proposed an
amendment to the fifth section of the bill
Opinions differ as to the probable fate of the
bill in the Senate. Republicans hope that If
it passes Congress the President will not ap-
prove the measure. The excitement in Wall
Street was not so great as on Friday, and
the market closed strong at the best prices of
the day.

had heretofore kept them apart, but 1t was easily
removed by frank explanation. Mr.. Booth more
over supposed himself to be hampered by his en-
gagement with the manager of the Prncess's Inc
