4 SD ExPERIENCE

The following beautiful lines we're writer
by the late Richard Silos, ESQ, of Danviho
Va, a gentleman of genius, q fne scholar
and lawyer Of distinction. The lines spanl
of the sad experience and tate of the author
have been TO the funeral Of all my hopes
And entOmbcd them one by ones
Not word was said,
Not tear was shed,
When the mOurntul task was done,
Slowly and sadly I turned me round
And sought my silent room;
And there alone
By the cold hearth stone
7 wOOed the midnight gloom.
And as the night winds deepening shade
Lowered above my brow,
WCpt o er days
When munhOOd'B rays
We're brighter far than now.
The dying embers on the hearth
Gave out their hickering light,
AS if TO say
This is the way,
Thy life shall close in night.
wept aloud in anguish sore
Ger the blight of prospects fairs
While demons laughed
And eager quaHed
My tears like nectar rare.
Through helrs red halls an echo rang,
An echo loud and long,
As I'm the bowl
I plunged my soul
In the might of madness strong.
And there within that sparkling glass
knew the cause to lie;
This all men own,
From zone to zone,
Yet millions drink and die.

THE BROKEN BOTTLE.

beside a very ugly, dark-colored stone
jug. He eyed it sharply, but finding it
quite impossible to see through its sides,
pulled out the cork and peered anxious

"Can't see nothin', but it's so dark IN

Sunday school picnic. His mother had
