POETIC FANCIEs.
sopoM AM GOMoRRAH.

Two cities there stood in the midst of the plain,
And great was their glory and wide was their reign
But sin was the path that their populace trod,
And down on their heads fell the vengeance of
God.
All, little they thought, as they lowered in their
pride,
of the wrath and the ruin so soon to betide;
All, little they dreamed, as the red morning cast
Its beams DER their temples, that day was their
last.
The heavens were darkened, and forth from them
came
A TEMPEST of birthstone, whirwind of flame,
And the towers of their might and the halls of their
mirth,
Were utterly swept from the face of the earth
The prince with his wine and the slave with his
crust,
ALL all who dwelt in them-those mansions of lust,
From revels aroused and from SAUNDERS awoke,
To crumble to ashes, to melt into smokel
oh, dreadful the doom the cities of sin
The noon saw no trace that their splendor had
been!
For none but the good shall inherit the earth,
The wicked shall weep DER the day of their birth !
Franklin E. Denton in Chicago urrent.

THE TONE MASTER.

Wonderful music there was one day,
Chopin to listen, List to play,
Said Chopin to List: "Fain would learn
If the ear may, through music, the colors discern.
Then List struck clear from the highest keys
The song of brght Skies the summer breeze;
And Chopin cried out with keen delight:
81 see soft azure and glistening white
Then List smote slowly the deep bass chords
And summoned the shadowy, trooping hordes
Of doubt and despair that rend and rack
The soul in dark hours "Away with the black
Awful vision!'' cried Chopin. 1t passed;
And away from the bass LISTS fingers flew fast
Then witching, palpitant, brilliant strain,
Which thrilled and kindled and relied again;
And Chopin cried quick, as the melody sped,
mime eyes rest on roses and cheeks that are red.
And so by his wondrous, exquisite art
List touched, through both senses, the one human
heart,
And showed, as rose might, transformed to Q
bird,
That sound can be seen and hues can be heard.

JUST SAY GOODBYE.

Dear love! l will say but goodbye,
And yet some strange forebodings rise.
Each smile is stifed in a sigh,
A heavy burden on me lies.
You, too, within your inmost heart,
Divine shadow lurking nigh;
But since we now at last must part,
Say not tarewell-lut just goodbye
l even thought to smile at this,
That you might call me brave end strong
But life will find so much to miss,
And joyless moments wear so long!
Haply an undrawn curtain wells
The fateful future from each eye;
But true faith never flags nor fails
And 80 we'll hope-and say goodbye.
But now each instant only brings
My helpless feat more near the brink;
/ tremble like wretch who clings
To straws, when destined soon to sink.
Oh, have you counted well the days
Which ere we meet must lag or fly?
My soul with you-my body stays
Alone, when we have said goodbye.
How shall wait until you come,
AS weary women wiit-and weep?
Ears deaf and lips to others-dumb-
To send you kisses when sleep
Andif-oh, If we ever meet,
My love, forget me not, and /
My soul shall journey with you, sweet,
And now indeed, indeed goodbye!

Smith Cooper of this city, and two
physicians from Philadelphia, to re-
move a tumor from the breast of the
wife of Stephen Mitchell, Jr., whose
life has been rendered very uncomf forta-
BILE for some time back by the growth
of this abnormal excresence. After
making an incision, however, it was
found that the tumOr was united firmly
to the body in three places, and 1t was
deemed unsafe to proceed with the
operation, as death from loss of blood
would most likely Immediately ensue.
Everything was done to render her
comfortable but no hopes for her restora-
tion to health are entertained.

very abundant and of good quality,
but along the lines Of the railroads and
other inland sections in Delaware the
crop appears to be almost o failure.
He thinks Maryland alone will mar ket

finds disposition among the growers
to cultivate the later Varieties, as they
are much finer and more hardy than
the early varieties. Taking the crop
throughout, he expresses belief that

WAS the largest ever known.
