TOO LATE.

The train departs ut half-past eight;
The traveller runs apace,
He yet may reach the station gate
1t closes in his face!
He sees the train slide down the track,
He curses free his fate,
And mutters as he wanders back
Hes left who comes too late!''
At six the dinners smoking hot;
The wine foams in the glass;
The soup is boiling from the pot,
Which deftest walters pass.
The wine is fiat; the soup is cold;
The dinner comes at eight
You gee the old, old story's told
He's left who comes too late!"
A maiden holds heart in thrall-
He cherishes a.glove,
And sighs to gain her, that is all;
He does not tell his love.
And some fine day the cruel mail .
Bears. as a dreadful fate,
Her wedding cards then let him vail
I'm left, who came too late!"

body can make a fortune by collecting
cigar-stumps i'll London and selling them
to gardeners and florists for the fumiga-
ton of green houses, this industry having
been pursued for a considerable time in
France to great profit. These unfragrant
relics are collected on this side of the
