One of the most noted women in N.
York journalism is Miss MILDLY Morgan.
Who does the ttle;reports for some fou1
New York papers among them the Times
aud Tribune. She has acquired fund
OF knowledge of cattle and horses, both
on farm and turf, which may be enviea
by the most experienced male sports
man. Her journalistic career dates
from an interview with Horace Greeley,
whose rather jocose allusion to the need
of reporter Of cattle sales was turned
to earnest account. Miss Morgan is
descended from an old family of Irish
gentry. and away back in her girIhood
days she was the best horseback rider in
all Ireland. She is an immensely tall
woman, six feet two inches in hight.
and her shoulders are broad and square.
SO that she looks much like man in
disguise. She has a fair and delicate
complexion, despite constant exposure
TO the clements, and her eyes are blue
and very expressive.

And comfort thy heart VII drop O. good ale."
Turn the swallows flying south,
Turn the Vines against the sun,

Men must dare or nothing done.
So what cares the lover for storm or drift;
o. peril of death on the haggard way?
He sings to hinisef like a lark to the lift.
and the joy il his heart turns December to May.
But the wind from the north brings deadly chill
Creeping INTO his hears. and the drifts are deep:
Where the thick Of the storm strikes Blueberg hill

AS il her lover was i'll the rolnl
And read me this riddle, how Ruth should know,
AS she bounds to throw open the heavy door.
That her lover is lost i'll the drifting snow,
Dying or dead on the great wild moor.
Help help! my sweetheart is lost! Lost! lost!"
Rings through the s:lt as she rushes away,
Stumbling, bllnded aud tempest tossed,
Straight to the drift where her lover lay.
And swift they leap after har into the night
Into the drifts by B.ueberg hill,

To find her there, holding him. white and still.
