NOT DEAD.

Here, at the sweetest hour Of this sweet day,
Here, in the calmest woodland haunt know,
Benignant thoughts around thy memory play,
And In my heart do pleasant fancies blow,
Like flowers turned toward thee, radiant and
Flushed by the light of times forever fed,
Whose tender glory pales, but Is not deadl
The warm South wind is like thy generous
breath,
Laden with gentle words of cordial cheer
whom an so esn
Her love it is which thrills the sunset air
With mystic motions from time that's fed,
Long past and gone In sOOth, but OIL NOT

Inc sort, still clouds, that seem to muse on
Love-notes of hidden birds that come and 60,
Making sentient rapture OF the sky
Hints Of pure joys Of ours forever fed.
Joys past, indeed, and yet they are not dead
Far from the motley throng Of sordid men.
From fashion far, mean strife and frenzted
In those dear days through many a mountain
BY mountain streams, and fields Of ripplina
We roamed, untouched by passions feverish
But quaffins friendships quiet draughts in.
Its waters calm, whose sweetness is not dead
Above that nook of fond remembrance stands
A dove-eyed Faith that falters not, mol

No flowers of Lethe droop In her white hands
And If the watch that steadfast angel keeps
Be pensive, and some transient tears she

They are but tears a soft regret may shed
Ger twilight joys which fade. but are not

Not dead! not dead! but glorried and fair.
Like yonder marvellous clOudland floating
far
Between the quivering sunsets amber air.
And the mild luster OF eyes earliest star

"A seven-mile ride for life under
most extraordinary circumstances was
the experience of q farmer near For
roster, Mich. He gathered fifteen per-
sons in his wagon and started tor the
beach. The fire was close behind them
as they started, SO close that the dresses
of some of the women and children
were on fire from the sparks. It was

mad run. As the wagon started the tire
of hind wheel rolled of. They could
not stop for it, and yet, even on . good
road, the wheel would have crushed
down in going twenty rods without it.
The horses pushed over that seven
miles of rough road at wild run, and
the wheel stood firm. A delay of five
minutes at any point of the road would
have given fifteen more victims to the
flames which followed on behind.

On swept the great drive, the men redoub-
er and more dangerous; and Just as they shot
under the great white name Of Leroy Scott,
the river pilot, one after another of the black
figures who were waiting sprang into the
water and began to struggle for the shore.
Raldy's pulses quickened, and a longing for
her old wild life came over her. She had
more than once made that leap herself. and no
man Of them all had battled more stOutly and
resolutely than she with the freezing rapids.
One after another of the swimmers came
safely through the five or six rods Of fosming
icy water, which were all that were necessary
In order to reach the shore; but a. Sim
PEBBLES sank after his plunge dozen floating
logs passed over him. The logs we're carried

he did not rise.
Raldy Scott paused for no second thought.
A strapPing fellow near her was pulling Of
his coat, but before he could do Il she had
flung her heavy cloak aside, barred her arms
and dashed past him. She was q bold and
vigorous swimmer, and fought her way des-
perately to the place where Sim went down.
Suddenly mans white face giared from the
water ten feet away. His eyes were set and
his mouth was open. Raldy struggled toward
him, seized his collar, and with the help Of the
young man, who had reached the spot just in
time to help her bring her burden in. towed
Sim PEBBLES ashore.
Once there, she lifted him as though he had
been baby, and poured the water from his
lungs, loosened his coarse shirt, breathed into
his bloodless lips and poured . few drops Of
brandy down his throat, chatting his hands and
chest meanwhile. Then she listened for his
hesrt-beats, and look Of relief passed ovel
her stern face.
''He's an right, boys" she said, turning
carelessly to the breathless crowd about her,

letters he has been compelled TO write in
reply to Gov. Long and Senator Dawes.
There are many reasons why members
OF the cabinet shsald not only be allowed
to sit in congress, but at times be requir-
ed to do so-and so few reasonable objec-
tons to the arrangement that the PendIe
ton bill with propriety might be passed
without debate. 1t does not authotize
members OF the cabinet to vote; it merely
permits them TO have seats In either house
with the right of defending and explain
ing their recommendations and estimates
and the policy Of their respective Depart
ments. with the authority in either house
TO compel their attendance when
necessary to answer questions and
give information. The arrangement would
force the administration to make its policy
