THE POET AND his SONGS.
BY HENRY W. LoxGFELpow.

As the birds come in the Spring.
We know not FROM where;
As the stars come at evening.
From depths Of the air;
As the rain from the eiond,
And the brook from the ground
As suddenly, low or loud.
out Of silence a sound:
As the grape comes to the vine,
The fruit TO the tree;
As the wind comes to the pine
And the tide TO the sea;
As come the white sails Of ships
Ger the oceanS verge;
As comes the smile 10 the lips,
The foam to the surge:
So come to the poet his songs
All hitherwarl blown
From the misty realm, that belongs
To the vast Unknown.
His, and not his. are the lays
He sings and their fame
Il his, and not his; and the praise
And the pride Of a name.
For voices pursue him by day,
And haunt him by night
And he listens, and needs must obey,
When the Angel says, Write.

SOMETHING THAT NOBODY KNOWS
Er eroseE MAC poxALp.

The stars are spinning their threads,
And clouds are the dust that flies;
And the suns are weaving them up
For the time when the sleepers shall rise
The ocean in music rolls.
And the gems are turning to eyes
And the trees are gathering souls
For the time when the sleepers shall riss.
The weepers are learning TO smile.
And laughter 20 CLEAN the sighs;
Burn and bury the care and guile.
For the day whoa the siespers shall rise
Oh, the ders and the moths aud the daisy red,
The lArks and the glimmers and COWS:
The lilies and sparrovs and daily bread.
And the something that nobody knows

The tail, the tail, the TAIL" came from all
parts of the house, and the minister was salts

FIFTY YEARS APART.

They sit in the Winter cleaning.
And the fire burns bright between;
One has passed seventy Summers,
And the other just seventeen
They rest in a happy silence.
As the shadows deepen fast;
One lives in a coming future,
And one in a long long past.
Each dreams ef a rush Of music
And a question whispered low;
One will hear IL this evening.
One heard it long ago.
Each dreams Of loving husband,
Whose brave heart j. hers alone
For one the joy is coming,
For one the joy has flown.
Each dreams Of a life of gladness
Spent under the sunny skies;
And both the hope and the newly
Shine in the happy eyes.
Who knows which dream is tAs, brig htest ,
And who knows which is the best
The sorrow and joy are mingled,
But only the end is rest

WASHINGTON, August THE story
that the late Spanish Minister was
driven to suicide by impending dis
grace, proceeding from his inisappro-
priation of Spanish government funds
entrusted to him to pay the awards of
the Spanish American Claims Commits
sion, is shown to be untrue and absurd,
for the reason that no such fund was at
the mlnand Of the late Minister. The
report was that Senior Barca lost the
government fund specializing in Wall
street.
Marquis Potestad, arbitrator of the
Spanish Claims Commission, explains
that the aggregate award, amounting
to 81, 600, 900, has not yet been sent 10
this country. The money will reach
here probably next month, 1t will be
sent to the Secretary OF State, and will
not be at the command OF the Spanish
Minister. The late Minister'S accounts
are all straigt' "to apenny," says the
Chief Secretary of Legation.

there was nothing new to-day regarding
the strike, aud that the men were all
satisfied with the prospect and we're
confident of success. The work of pay.
ing off the men was continued to-day.
