Everyday Heroes.

ROm the NeU f0rk Ledger.
oh, yes; they arc all around us,
And In every walk OF life
Heroes the best that stand the test
In many an unmarked strife;
Heroes Of home, Of shop, OF farm.
And at duty's call alone.
Though unaware of hOnor's share,
And by noisy fame unblown.
From fame grit lofty window
wild faces and hands entreat
Vast crowds agape that no means can shape,
For aid from the icy street:
When a bootblack climbs an adjacent pole,
And swift from its peak impels
A rope Of wire down the wall OF fire.
And the cry, They are sayedi upswels.
High waving his danger signal,
The under paid switChman speeds
Der the quiNering ridge Of . broken bridge,
That to death and destruction leads,
To sink. az the laundering train slows up,
O'ertaxed. In the headlights glare,
While but few can know what to him they owe,
Though lie should be dying there.
Oh. yes; they are all around us.
And to instance their deeds were vain.
So hidden away In the crowds are they,
In the paths obscure and plain;
From those whose chvary, uncsteemed,
Through lOwly lifetime shines.
To such IN the rout whose acts stand out
For the rest like starry signs.
And nothing ia lost, though hidden,
That springs from heroic seed
In the larger force, and the higher course
That are shaped from single deed
The environment of u mass OF men
May brighten and spread apacc,
Till the deeds shall throna ali paths along
To the glory Of all the race.

A Shamrock from tho Irish shorel
Dear emblom OF my native land.
BY fresh, fond words kept fresh and green;
The pressure Of an unfelt hand
The kisses Of u lip unseen;
tlrOh from my dead mothers heart
My fathers smile revived once more
Oh, youth oh. Lowell oh, hope thou art,
Sweet shamrock from the Irish shorsi
Enchsnter, with thy wand OF power
Tile emerald lawn, the hme.leavcd bower,
The circlng shore, the sunlit hill;
The grass, in winters wintriest hours.
BY dewy daisies dinpled DER
Half hiding, meath their trembling flowers,

BY ischia's fires and Adrla's foam.
By Spezzias fatal waves that kissed

Tile shamrock OF the Irish shorel
saw the palm tree stand aoof
Irresoutc twiNt sand and sea;

Outspread the wine that was to be;
The giant-hOwered and glorious tree,
saw the tall magnolia soar;
But there, even there longed for thee,
Poor shamrock OF the Irish shorel

True emblem of my land and race,
Thy small and tender leaves expand
But only in thy native place,
Thou needest for thy self and seed
Soft dews around, kind sunshine DER;

All me! TO think that power malign
Thus turns thy sweet green sap 20 gore,
And what calm rapture might be thine,
sweet shamrock of the Irish shorel
Struggling and yet for strife unmeet
True type OF trustful love thou art;
Thou Hest the whole year at my feet
To live but one day AT my heart
One day Of festal pride to lie
Upon the loved ones heart-what morsf
Upon the loved ones heart To die,

And shall not return thy lovc'
And shalt thou not, as thou shonldst, be
Placed on thy sons proud heart above
The red rose or the tleur.de.lis
Yes, from these heights tho waters beat,
vow to press thy cheek once more,
And lie forever at thy feet,
