Clean through the rain and the mist,
Aud n feeling Of sadness comes DER
That my soul cannot resist:
A feeling Of sadness and longing,
That IL not akin 10 pain,
And resembles SORROW only
As the uli-t resembles the rain.
Come. read TO me some poem.
Some simple and heartfelt Law.
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from che baris sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of Time:
For. like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs ctishcd from his heart
As showers from the clouds Of summer.
Or tear from the eyclids start;
Who. through long days OF lab,
And nights devoid OF ease
Sull heard IN his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
such songs have power 10 quiet
The restless pulse Of care.
And come like the bcnediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem nf thy choice,
And lend Ia the rhyme of The poet
The beauty OF thy voice.
And the night shall be flled with music
And the cares. that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs.
And rs silently steal away.

GuIteau's Relies In Great Demand

Novelties of the Guiteau order ART

A very good trade is also done through
the mails. The country demand for the
fac simile bullet, photographs of the
assassin, of Sergeant Mason and Bill
Jones, and scenes of the execution be

the dealers in the curiosities are in
creasing rather than diminishing with
the demands of the trade. There also
arises desire to keep up the interest
on the part of the public. This causes
the venders to exercise their ingenuity
in bringing ont new novelties. The
latest of these are pieces Of the rope by

cents apiece from the lovers Of the

The POpe ON the Irish Troubles,

ROME, August ia letter from the
Pope to the Irish Bishops, dated Au-
gust 1, is published here. His Holi-
ness, expresses his profound regret
that tranquility has not been restored
in Ireland and that murders continue
to be com mitted, says: "The Irish
people, by following the advice OF their
preiates, may hope for the alienation
OF the ills from which they suffer. A just
cause must be upheld by just means.
Secret societies must be Stunned. In
the words of Saint Augustine, the first
characteristic trait of liberty is the
non n-commission of crime. The priests
ought TO be active supporters of
public order during present
troubles" The letter concludes by ex
pressing the hope that the English
Government will do Justice to the
equitable claims of the Irish people,
remem bering that the pacifcation Of
Ireland constitutes an element Of tran
guilty in the whole Empire.

some time thought that this city for

has been agitated, has been on the
search for them. He vi'ited several
places where he thought they would
likely be found, but without success, un
til the latter end of last week, when he
accidentally discovered the measures
in the cooper shop of Mr.. Marshall, on

and quart measure. They are all
made OF hammered copper, and are

Mr.. Marshall would like to retain the
old standards. He said that 1t was the
custom many years ago to pass them
around from cooper shop to cooper shop,

make their measures conform with
them. They came into the possession
of Mr.. Marshall's family many years
