THE HALO ROUND THE MOON

When nv first kiss On those pure lips
fondly pressed, and motionless
We stood with wrcathed finger tips.
And eyes that swan with loves excess.
You said you feared the omen dark
That threatened us with storm full snon,
And half in jest you made me mark
The halo round the moon.
Then dare Il with me, love-" said,
And meet il smiling then, as now;
Shall sorrow's shadow bow the head,
That sorrows self should never bowl
What follows darkness but the day.
What dwells behind each night but noon,
Whose laughing sun shall chase away
The halo round the moOnl'
And now, that time has only shown
How brief life storms. when dauntle-s met
And every eEdlrss year that's flown,
Has knit our hearts but closer yet
How memory holds that night endeaFed,
We ask of fate no further boon,
But dare the aucury, nor feared
The halo round the moon

ONE of the chief hindrances to telegraphng in
Japan is the grounding of the current By spider
lines The trees bordering the highways swarm
with spiders, which spin their webs everywhere
between the earth, wires, posts. insulators, and
trees When the spider webs are covered with
heavy dews, they become good conductors, and
run the message to the earth. The only way to
remove the difficulty, is by employing men to
sweep the wires with brushes of bamboo; but
a. the spiders are more numerous and persistent
than the brush users, the difficulty remains
always O serious one.
