1t seems impossible to ascertain the
authorship of that poem which was SO
great a favorite with Garfield, and
which pictured almost with prophecy
some of the circumstances ATTENDING
his death. Like iLincoln's favorite
poem, why Should the Spirit of Nor
tai be Proud" its authorship seems to
be unknown. Garfield said with regret
that he did not know the authorship of
the piece that was so great a favorite
with him, while Lincoln said of his ia.
vvorite poem: II would give great deal
TO know who wrote it, but have never
been able to ascertain" So among the
other wonderful parallels between these
two great men, it appears that each
sought out an anonymous poem and
neid it precious in his memory. -DeS

BRAMBLE.

The corn is reaped, the bare brown land
Is sleeping in the sunshine bland
OF late September time;
Now after harvest toll and mirth
In restful calmness lies the earth,
Like good lives past their prime.
: Red tints of autumn touch the trees
a. That rustic in the freshening breeze,
And wave their branches strong; ~
From hillside meadow, loud and clear,
Comes, clarion-like, a note of cheer,
The thrush's thrilling song.
The busy wild bee fiitteth by,
Where honeysuckle waves on high,
And late clematiS grows;
A fair brown butterfly floats round
A bramble branch that on the groun6
Its dainty tangle throws.
The lowly bramble, taking root
In common hedgerows, bearing fruit,
! For common hands to pull; tl
A boon to travellers on the road,
1t shows its gracious purple load
With blossoms beautiful. J
White flowers, like@early-tinted snow,
Fair foliage red with antumn's glow,
Ripe fruit-on one fair spray;
All me! my heart, what beauty lives
In lowllest things that Nature gives
To blossom on our way. fA
All mel my heart, what beauty shows
In lowly lives that to their close
Bloom sweetly out of sight;
Meek hearts that seek not worldly praise,
That finds in life's secluded ways
Dear love and deep delight.
Fair lives that have humble root,
Sweet lives that bear gracious fruit,
Yet keep their springtime flowers
Upon the bough where fruit hangs ripe,
And where the fading leaf is type
OF life's decaying hours.
We meet them In our daily path,
These humble souls, and each one hath
A beauty of its own;
A beauty born of duty done,
OF silent victories dumbly won,
OF sorrow borne alone.
And when the frosts of death fall chill
On these fair lives, that blossom still
Though summer time is past,
We, signing. wish for quiet ways,
Wherein, like theirs, our shortening days
Might blossom to the last,

WE noticed, in passing MacCor-
macs photograph gallery the other
day, some of the finest pictures we
ever looked at. Among them a
very charming one of the "OId
Woman who lived in a Shoe" adj
mirably personated by a sweet little
girl, Miss Berta McComb. Also a
fine likeness of Miss Laura Smith,
another heroine of the Bazaar, with
her prize doll almost as large as her
self. We think Mr.. MacCormac de-
serves much credit for the high per-
lection to which he has brought
photography in our city. A visit to
his gallery will satisfy our citizens
that he keeps in the front ranks of
his profession.
