In Time to Come.

The flowers dead that made a summer splendor
By wayside hooks and on the sunny hill,
Aud with regret these hearts of ours grow tender
As sometimes all hearts will.
We loved the blossoms for they helped to brighten
The lives so dark with yihg toll and care,
As hopes and dreams forever help to tighten
The heavy loads we bear.
Bow like the flowers, whose transient life is ended
The hopes and dreams are. that for brief houl
Make the glad heart garden bright and splendid
About loves latticed bower
One little hour of almost perfect pleasure,
foretaste of the happiness to come;
Then sudden frost-the garden yields its treasure,
And stands in sorrow, dumb
Oh, listen, heart! The flower may lose its glory
Beneath the touch of frost, but does not die.
In spring it viii repeat the old, sweet story
OF Gods dear by and by.
In heaven, If never here, the hopes we cherish
The flowers of human lives we count as lost,
Will live again. Such beauty cannot perish;
And heaven has no FROST

The Tail of the Ticket.
Rochester Post Express.

Rochester Post-Express
To Caius Julius Caesar riding in a seven-mule
chariot, at the head of a triumphal procession in
which were 100000 white elephants and other
spoils Of war; came a Roman of distinguished
bearing, his countenance wreathed in smiles,
who said:
'Would it not be well, most noble Roman for
US to withdraw little from the public gaze, and
agree upon division OF these hundred thousand
white elephantsl"
To whom Caesar, in a tone os surprises "And
who the devil are your
THE Tail of the Ticket, at your service" re-
sponded he of the smiling face.
Tail of the Ticket, are youl" cried Caesar in
a rage. "Wel Tail of the Ticket, get out of
this procession, and when 1 want you I'll send
for you"
why, that fellow" said he, turning to Geor-
gius Curtius, who was led in chains behind the
chariot, but whom, nevertheless, he addressed
kindly, that fellow could not have put on more
airs if he'd been editor of the New York World. :"
The Tail of the Ticket Immediately started
for home, taking in two or three banquets and
torchfight professions on the way, at each of
which he was particular to say that he and Caesar
had not decided what to do with the elephants
This seems to have been one of the occasions
very rare in Rome. when, in the exhilaratlon of
triumph, the Tail of the Ticket lost his head.

Whitehall Review.
In the late General England has died not only
the "doyen" of the Royal artillery, but also the
father" of the British army AS the deceased,
who was in his ninety seventh year. was the old
est officer in her Majesty's service his death
surely merits more than the few lines of obituary
notice with which the papers have recorded his
end. He had obtained his first commission "by
command of his Majesty, King George III, as
far back as May, 1905, and within a few weeks
of his name appearing in the official Gazette was
ordered with his battery to the Weser, where he
took part in the now almost forgotten operations
which were undertaken in cooperation with the
Russian forces in North Germany Of this
bloodless campaign, which ended in the with
drawal of our forces, General England was the
last survivor In 1906 he was sent to South
Africa to share in our operations against the
Dutch, who were at that time in possession of
the Cape Colony. From the Cape he went to
South America, and was at the investment
of Montevideo our unfortunate attack
upon Buenos Ayres and other iistarred
operations, which ended in the withdrawal of
our forces from the Rio de la Plata OF this
campaign, too, he was the solitary survivor.
General England finally shared in the closing
scenes of the Peninsular war, and was at the bat
tie of Vittoria and siege of San Sebastian. He
was not at Waterloo, and saw no further service
after the peace of 1915, but has survived until
the memories of the operations in which he had
shared had almost passed away. His death
makes regret that one of the last of the Iron

An Historical Kitten.



Varbach was little village in the valley of
the Tauber, which had been nearly laid waste
by the passing of various armies, so that when
the scattered peasants were able to return to
their homes, they were obliged to begin afresh
the accommodation of domestic goods. By de-
grees, their prosperity in focks and herds and
broods and filters was renewed. Only cat was
wanting; and Il cat was not to be had for love or
money, although the milk and butter in the
dairy the eggs in the barn, and the grain in the
garrett were suffering from the lack of that use
full animal. At last somebody heard Of kit
ten to sell in distant settlement
and messenger was dispatched forth
with to secure the treasure. 1t cost
good round sum, too. But the man returned in
triumph and the kitten became at once the pet
of the whole village. Every door stood open for
her entrance every bed was at her service for
the necessary cat-naps, and, doutless the richest
cream and daintest meat would have been her
portion if she had not been surfeited continually
with flesh and blood of her natural enemies.
She reigned alone to a fat old age, when an en-
terprising peasant, who lived in hut on the hill
SIDE went into the business of importing cats
for sale, and soon the whole country was over
stocked, so that kittens were bought no more
and probably the beds were no longer considered
the appropriate place for their SAUNDERS.

A Better Day.

o child, lift not such dreary eyes to me
AS if the God of Love himself were dead
Because thy little hour of joy has fled:
Surely thy life shall not be always gray
Toward tn evening shall thy sky be red
With hopeful promise of brighter day
Thy heavy gsnees seek the sombre earth:
What use, thy SAD heart answers, IF the morn
Come creeping grayly, like thing forlorn,
To tell me that the evening shall be gay;
Just ere the dark and awful night be born
With hopeful promise of brighter day"
Lies not the awful night betwixt the two7
The awful night of which nothing guess;
Whether we rest in quiet forgetfulness
Whether old thoughts and longngs with US stay,
Thou canst not even know our eyes may bless
The happy dawning Of brighter day.
Oh sad and fair-whch of us hath not wept
The death of love we did immortal deem?
Who hath not found all bliss a fitful CLEAN
Across the darkl All. child, we needs must pray
That hope forsale not-still let us dream
There is promise of a brighter day.

Dependency.

Q, gloomy world that rolls in weary space
And means wild music to the broken spheres,
Whose rivers wander into of tears
Despair has bound thee in a close embrace;
A birth, life DEATH man is no more!
Death giows beside existence and with time
Is comrade of its changes; cycles roll
Their heavy circles through the human soul
And pour their dirges into mournful rhyme;
A birth, life death; man is no more.
He gropes in shadows for happy beam
That shall delight his bosom into mist
Dissolves the substance that ambition kissed
While greatness grows the garland of dream
A birth, life death; man is no more.
Endeavor struggles to an early grave;
The past is lost in monumental dust
Where age on age in angry ire has thrust
The wise, the strong the mighty and the brave;
A birth, life, death; man is no more.
The years are shades that totter from their tombs,
The ages ghosts which live in eatacombs
And lure the Present to their awful homes,
While ancient wander in the glooms
birth, a life, DEATH man - no more.
Oblivion welcomes with gentle arms
And presses them like infants to her breast
Repeats to them her lullabies of rest
And guards them from all sorrows and alarms;
birth, life death; man is no more.
Then hasten world, and let my battle cease;
care not where stay nor when go
For action gives unhappiness and woe,
While Lethe brings forgetfulness and peace;
A birth life, DEATH 1 am no morel

President Arthur's Blue Satin Bedroom.
WASHINGTON I,etter

President Arthur's Blue Satin Bedroom.
Washington Letter.
As Presdent-eleet Cleveland has been so in
variably described by those who know him best
as a man who is very simple in his tastes, and
looks upon his acceptance of any public office as
pledge to work on his part, instead of extract
ing all the pleasure and luxury possible from
the position those acquainted with the present
condition of the private rooms at the White
House have wondered what he will think of
Presidens Arthur's beautiful blue bed room. No
previous President has ever had the room in
which he has slept so dainty furnished not even
those whose wives were with them. The bed
room used by Presidents Grant, Hayes and Gar
field with their wives, was the same and the
same furniture was in it from 1873 Until after
President Arthur's accession. II was handsome
furniture when new, but nothing to compare to
that which President Arthur had put in the OPP
posite room for his own use. He would not
occupy the room his three last predecessors had
used, because when he moved into the White
House it was so soon after President Garfelds
long and painful illness in that chamber that his
successor seemed to have horror Of it, though,
being the southern side Of the building, it IS
an exceedingly cheerful room. The one he has
been using for three years is furnished like the
boudoir of a care-loving woman, in blue satin.
Even the woodwork around the doors and
windows was painted blue when the room was
refitted fo- him. The bed has canopy of
blue satin and lace, and lace Counterpart lined
with blue satin. No one who knows Governor
Cleveland thinks he will occupy it. 1t is the
room which was used by the last two ladies
married in the White House, Miss Nellie Grant
and Miss Platt president Hayes's niecel up to
the time of their weddings wherefore it was
coniectured when President Arthur fitted it up
in blue that it was designed for bride, which
has proved untrue.

minded at the table and conscious of the blund-

her, Let mistakes go. An easy, attentive bear
ing is worth all the angels food, and wine, and
Jelly in creation; for is it not the very essences Of
the angel itself-that which puts us thoroughly
at our easel Oblivion is an absolute essential

consequence, everything Went wrong. Let us
