For Miss Emma's Scrap Book.


There's many a song from the golden cline
In the rhythmic runs of the Poets rhyme,
That garlands the scented pages
And many ray from the stars sublime
That glow on the deathless hills of time
The sentinel Hills of Ages.
And over the heights of the golden stars
And beyond the gleam of the sunset bars,
Where the fields elysian glimmer
The singers roam by the lucid streams
Whereon the radiant summer beams
Fall in golden simmer.
And over the ruin and wreck of years
The spirits urcharge of sorrow and tears,
Their sweetness clings and closes
AS the happy dreams of childhood's day,
And the shattered vase, retain. for aye,
The scent of summer roses.
Have you ever thought of the wistful pain
That flows perchance through the gladdest
strain
You sing in your girlish fashion,
Oh gather them tendedg, maiden fair
Each one is a threnody, psalm, or prayer
From the hearts unsounded passion.
And for this treasure of rhythmical rhyme
You ask me to garland thought sublime
With the Poets fatal dover
Semper Fidelis--te nder and low
The words come back from the Long Ago,
With their old resistless power.
And tenderly slow, like breath ofprayer
| fashion them iato a garland, where
Your gaze may often wander
And through the years, be they brief or long,
Clouded with tears, or bright with song,
The motto sweet may ponder.
Semper Fidelis-par sizes of thought
Garland the ia ncy my dreams have wrought
With bnds Of ra-er beauty
Semper Fidelis-Lite is so fleet
Semper Fidelis-- motto go meet
To God, to Love, and Duty

fastened together at the front with
hooks and eyes in lien of buttons,

PENINSULA WHEAT CROP -"It will

speculator, "when the wheat crop of
the Peninsula is in market, that it has
been fairly good one, and. indeed,
up to the average. Last year, you may
remember, tie yield was exceptionally
large, and it is this very thing which
has led so many into bemOaning short
crop, whereas there has been a good
one. They base all their calculations
on the crop of last year" The ship
ment will be begun over the Delaware
railroad in a few weeks. Already ex-
ira preparations are being made to
transport the crop. While the compe-
tition by water will be active, it will
