The Lost Kiss.

put by the half-written poem
While the pen, idly tfailed in my hand,
Writes on-"Had words to complete it.
Who'd read it, or who'd understand!
But the little bare feet Oh the stairway
And the faint, smothered laugh IN the nail,
And the eerielow lisp on the sllehce'
Cry up to me over ii all.
So gather it up-where twas broken
The tear-faded thread of my theme,
Telling how, as one night sat writing,
A fairy broke in on my dream,
A little inquisitive fairy -
My own little gill. with the gold
OF the sun in her hair, and the dewy
Blue eyes of the fairies OF old,
twas the dear little girl that scolded-- =
1For was it a moment like this, ="
i said--"Wken she knew was busy,
To come romping in for kiss?
Come rowdying up from her mother,
And clamoring there at my knee
For lone little kiss for dolly
And one little uzzer for me'
God pity the heart that repealed her,
AnuIle coiu lldlu Gustt tuihou Hoi away
And take from the lips that denied her
This answerless prayer of today
Take, Lord, from mem'ry forever
That pitiful sob Of despair,
And the patter and trip of the little bare feet,
And the one piercing cry on the stair!
put by the half-written poem
While the pen, idly trailed in my hand,
Writes on-"Had words to complete it,

But the little bare feet on the stairway,
And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall,
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,
Cry u2 to me over it all.

The Victoria Calamity.

LONDON, ONT, May 27.-Telegrams
OF sympathy have been received by
Mayor Campbell from all parts. Tele-
grams profiering pecuEiary aid have also
been received. Up to midnight ISO in
terments had taken place. Two features
IN connection with the catastrophe are
provoking no little comment. On, of
these Is The rapacity Of the London cab
men, who took advantage OF the rush OF
funerals 10 make exorbitant charges and
the other Is the apathy Of the Middlesex-
county officials and the proprietors OF
the wrecked steamer in the matter OF
contributing 10 the recovery OF the bodies
OF the victims. The number OF bodies
recovered from the Victoria disaster and
dealt with Is $50. Some bodies have been
carried away without names being OBJ
tanned. 1t 10 not known how many are
missing and probably 1t will not be
known for many days. 1t is estimated
that the total number lost is from 225 tc
2SO. An investigation Into the cause ol
the disaster was commenced to-day at Z
o'clock. 1t will probably be tedIou,

AZ the Oil Exchange that the Buffalo Oil

The local elections In Virginia last
Thursday, 30 far as heard from, seem
to pan out badly for the Malone Re-
publican readjusters combination
Lynchburg, Norfolk, Porthsmouth
and Alexandria have given more than
the usual Democratic majorities, the
number Of votes cast considered.
Frederick county, at one time con-
trolled by the Malone Republican
combination, has once more taken
her place In the Democratic COL
umn, whilst Rockingham county.
the heretofore stronghold of the
readjusters and thehome Of Con-
grsssman-elect Paul, has repudiated
the coalition and elected the Demo
cratic candidates for clerks of tba
county and circuit courts.
