tended us an invitation to dine with
them last Tuesday at their rooms in
the hotel building at the B. & o. de.

who have put forth such noble eff
forts and accomplished so much good
for the cause of humanity and tenn

Do you. meath your coat of sleet,
Feel the pulse of April beat!
Do not struggle any longer,

Every root within earth's breast
Is a vein by sunlight pressed.
Faster throbs each pulse OF life,
Every nerve is in the strife.
All! old fellow, | can see
That you still are knocking me;
And you buster just TO hide
For one moment your sweet bride.
Come, throw off your coat of mail.
All. What now. a maiden palel
Kiss her gently ere you fly;
See, a tear is in her eye.
