THE LARK.

o bird Of light and duttering wing,
Now circling slow above the beeches,
I would were so free thing,
Near space toward which my spirit reaches,
/ would not build my nest SO low,
Or fly forever Ger these lodges,
II could rise like thee and know
The furtherest mountains purple edges.
Within each human heart must beat
One wish for freedom more than mortal's,
For wings to aid our tagging feet,
To touch that shore beyond the portals.
Not wait until deaths icy hand
Smiles from the soul each chain and fetter.
But living, loving, reach that land
Where all is brighter, freer-better.
And shall we find across the stream,
Which now divides our Joy and sorrow,
All that delusion's lurid dream
Tells us waits beyond the morrow?
Thou art not troubled, happy lark,
With sober thoughts orvague suggestions,
Thou only knowest that evenings dark
Brings thee to meadow home and resting.

Shakespeare's Epitaph.

The Rev. Mr.. Macray, librarian, of
the famous Bodleian library in the
University of Oxford, has discovered an
old letter relating to Shakespeare
which sheds explanatory light upon the
lines which the great poet wrote and
ordered to be cut upon his tombstone.
Every visitor to the church of st ratford-
Upon-Avon must, we presume, have
wondered that poet of such immortal
power and inexhaustible magnifcence
of diction as Shakespeare could have
written lines which are so much like
doggerel as his well known epitaph:
Good friend, for Jesus sake forbear
To dig the dust inclosed here;
Blessed be the man who spares these stones,
Cursed be he who moves my bones.
If their authenticity depended on
their internal evidence very few Shake
spearian scholars would, we believe,
have accepted them as his.
But the letter which has been discov-
cred in the Bodleian, written by VIM.
Hall, Queens college man in 1894, to
Edward Thwaites, a well-known Anglo
Saxon scholar of that time, explains
the reason of the epitaph and shows its
homeliness and simplicity to have been
intentional. After telling his friend of
his visit to Stratford. upon-Avon, and
quoting the epitaph, the Oxford scholar
writes. s'The little learning these
verses contain would be a very strong
argument of the want of it in the author
did not they carry something in them
which stands in need of a comment.
There is in this church place which
they call the bone house, repository
for all bones they dig up, which are so
many that they would load a great
number of wagons. The poet, being
willing to preserve his bones unmoved,
lays curse upon him that moves
them, and haveing to do with clarks
and sections, for the most part very
ignorant class of people, he descends
to the meanest of their capacitys, and
disrobes himself of that art which none
of his contemporaries wore in greater
perfection. Nor has the design mist of
its effect, for, lest they should not only
draw this curse upon themselves, but
also entail it upon their posterrity, they
have laid him full seventeen foot deep
deep enough to secure him.

without limit of persons being thus
warned Of impending illness by dreams
of more or less significance. The ex-
PLANTATION is not difficult. During sleep
obscure sensations caused by the per-
verted action of some part of the body,
then in the first stages of disease, are
felt and appreciated to some extent,
while at the same time they are not
sufficiently well marked to arrest the
attention of the mind engrossed with
every day cares and occupations. They
are not truly prophetic, for they
indicate that disease is already present.
all other "warnings in dreams" of
what is about to happen somewhere be-
yond the chance of the warned one re-
,ceiving any 'intimation of them except
by dreams are to be placed to the ac-
count of condolences. Dreams of ab-
sent friends, of their doing and of what
is happening to them occur in countless
numbers in our nightly fancies. So
long as they do not coincide with what
we learn to be actual events they do
not arrest the attention and are re-
placed in our memories by more inn
portant things. But let one of them
coincide with something that actually
occurs at the time or at some long
future period, and at once it becomes
a marvel worthy to be recorded in the
daily prints and to be worked up with
similar ones into "Footfaus on the
Boundaries of Another World" and the
like. If condolences should never oc-
cur it would be far greater marvel
than if a dozen should be recorded
daily.

wHENsrHE SUNSET GATES ARE AJAR.

Only little while longer,
And shall be safe at rest
Safe In the heavenly mansions,
Close to the Savior's breast.
Dark is the shadowy valley,
Swollen the waters and deep,
But the Father who waits my coming,
Gives ever the weary ones sleep.
When the sunset gates are open,
I catch glimpse OF His Throne
Whose splendor no man can picture
With its sides Of shining stone.
Oh, nv friends 81 love you fondly;
But yearn for the Heavenly Home,
Where the loved of our broken household
Call ever for..me TO "Come.''
Sometimes tits mother calling,
And sometimes sister most dear,
And often the father, whose going,
Made earth SO desolate, drear.
DO not detain me by weeping
/ go where my loved ones are;
I will watch for your coming each evening
When the Sunset Gates are ajarl

Survivors of Waterloo.

LONDON Telegraph.
Londoners not deeply versed in sign
board lore may be at this time of day
somewhat puzzled to discover the pecu-
liar significance and appropriateness
of such signs as the Marquis of CRANKY,
the Admiral Keppel and the CORVALLIS
rms; but the smallest boy is aware of
the meaning of the 'Hero of Waterloo, {"
and what manner of Englishman was
he whose proves is commemorated in
the Waterloo road and the Waterloo
omnibus. For the rest, among the up
per classes of English society, the
browning triumph Of Wellington over
Bonaparte may have become very
ancient history indeed. Lamentably
few are in the army list, the names to
which the black letter "W"is prefxed.
At the Senior United Service club there
can be scarcely any valiant old gentle
man left to prattle about their personal
experiences of Hougoumont and Fa
Belle Alliance, the hollow road of Ohain
and the forest of Soignies, and there
remains but a solitary survivor of
the guests at the .once famous Water
loo banquet, Hill and Hardinge, Angle
sea and Fitzroy Somerset, and all but
one of the gallant veterans, who, year
by year, used to gather on the 18th
round the sumptuous table of the Duke,
and drink, outstanding and in solemn
silence, the toast to the memory of those
who fell at Waterloo, are dead. The
single survivor of these heroes is Gen.
Right Hon. Thomas Keppel, Earl of
Albemarie, who, as he has told the
world in his delightful autobiography,
ssFifty Years of My Life," was in his
boyhood the playfellow of that sauciest,
warmest-hearted of romps, the Princess
Charlotte of Wales, who earned his title
to sit annually at the Waterloo banquet
by the fact that he, too, had his share
in the famous victory. Born in 1899,
the distinguished scion in the house of
Keppel, who is now Earle of Albemarle,
was gazetted when he was under six
teen years of age to an ensigncy in the
14th Regiment of Foot, and few
months later he passed unscathed
through the eventful day of Waterloo,
to enter Paris at the beginning of July,
1915, shoeless and in rags. 1t is pleas
ant to learn that the recurrence of
eWaterloo Day. brought troops of
friends of sexes to offer their respects
and their congratulations to the patri-
archal nobleman who was Young
subaltern when there was fought the
ssfrst and last of felds''-the fixing
making victory" which Byron has cele-
brated in deathless numbers.

ter, he was perhaps not so far amiss.

The statement made by Mr. Charles Adams.
formerly Minister to Bolivia, regarding the
paymcnt by Chill to secure the opposition oi
Journals here to an American policy IN South
American affairs, il both new and startling. II
cannot be ignored or passed over III silence
Mr. Adams gives his authority; he is man
who has been honorcd and trusted by the Ma.
ton; his word will be accepted by the whole
country with infinitely more confidence than
that of the editors who SO strangely broke out
in savage assaults upon a most promising and
patriolc American policy. Where did that
money go9 Did none of it 20 to those papers
which served Chill most zcalously at that time
That is the question which plain people
throughout the country will ask to-day. They
ask it in earnest too, and sooner or later thcy
EXPECT 10 have an answer. Not even diplomatic
secrets can be kept forever. Sooner or later it
will be known whether the amazing zeal of The
Herdd. The Times. and The Ercning Post for
British interests and the interests of Chill was
as honest as ii was misguided and unpatriotic.
Mr.. Belmont naturally led the Democratic
party in serving British interests. lie was
known to Democrats as the son of n former
chairman of the Democratic National Commit
tee. the representative in this country of the
Rothschds. The British bankers, who had
invested millions in these bonds. naturally
wanted to get back their money. and there was
no other way except to break down the Aincfi-
can policy which offered moral support to Peru
against Chill. 1t was perfectly natural that
Mr.. Belmont should aid this scheme; natural,
too. that a British free trade party should take
sides with British bankers rather than with
American creditors. But the attack made IN
some journals was so violent, malignant and
brutal that people were amazed. II is now III
order for the papers which participated in that
attack to explain whether their editorials were
inspired by Chill or by Great Britain whether
they were honest or mcrconaIy.
