THE IVY OF IRELAND.

O land of yesterday and tomorrow,
Whose blossoms breathe tho air
OF ParadiseO land Of nuirth and sorrow-
How sweet this wreath you wear!
Ivy of Ireland, clasp the exile's mother
Uo, her deep eyes are wetD;
The tears of ages surely shall not smother
Her faith in something yet.
In their last look heryoung men see you
To someisst, lonely hight. Il
Waving farewells, while: ghostly lips are
singing :: I.
Their old world out of sight.
Then, o, the withered women in their wall
There at the parting pier!
And o, that phantom ship forever sailing
With souls beloved here!
How tenderly your roots ring round the
fugers
land is there hope in dust?)
or irish chieftains and Irish singers,
Though sword and harp may rust!
Mourner at grave and *ruin-whis2ering
warder
OF every place forlorn--.
Nieht-listener at a vanished worlds dumb
border,
Ard first to shine with morn
Ivy of Ireland, had words to fashion
Clear as your drops of dew
We're I poet, with q poets passion
I'd ing a song for you!

FACE TO FACE.
BY PAUL II. UAYNE.

Sad mortal! couldst thou but know
What truly it means to die,
The wings Of thy soul would glow,
And the hopes of thy heart beat high;
Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrrhonist schc
And laugh their jargon to scorn,
AS the babble of midnight fools
Ere the morning Of Truth be born:
But l, ear,h's madness above,
In kingdom of stormless breath
gaze on the glory Of love
In the unveiled face OF Death.
tell thee his face is fair
As the moon-bow's amber rings,
And the CLEAN in his unbound hair
Like the flush of thousand Springs;
His smile is the fathomless beam
OF the star.shine's sacred light,
When the Summers of Southland dream
In the lap Of the holy Night:
For I, earth's blindness above,
In a kingdom Of halcyon breath
l gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
In his eyes heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for eArth's fareWells
Half burrows that shining brow;
Souls taken from Times cold tide
he folds to his fostering breast,
Aud the tears Of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts of rest:
And still, earth's madness above,
In kingdom of stormless breath,
/ gaze on light that is love
In the unveiled face of Death.
Through the splendor of stars impearled
In the glow Of their far OF grace,
He is soaring world by world,
With the souls In his strong embrace;
Lone others, unstirred by the wind,
At the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The flash of his winged retreat:
And l, earth madness above,
Mid kingdom of tranquil breath,
Have gazcd ON the lustre of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
But beyond the stars and sun
lean follow him still on his way,
Till the pearl-white gates are won
In the calm of the central day.
Far voices Of fond acclaim
Thrill down from the place Of souls,
As Death, with touch like flame,
Uncloses the goal OF goals:
And from heaven Of heavens above
God speaketh with batelcss breath
My angel of perfect love
Is the angel men call Death!

companions were thrown out but es-
capped uninjured. The horse ran into
the fence by the roadside and Mr.. Mel
WINS head was dashed against post

The Conductor Got Even.

There is general interchange of
passes among railroad men, and the
president and vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad have passes all
over the country. President Roberts
is very strict man, too strict sOme-
times, but he was taken down very
cleverly one day on the New York di-
vision. A great many people who
have passes simply nod to the conduc-
tor as he comes along. If he be new
man sharpers often successfully work
the game. One day Roberts got on
the New York division and took Il seat
in the middle car. The conductor
knew him, and when he passed him
the president simply nodded. 1t was
a catch, and Roberts was only trying
to see if his man would break the rules
and not make him show his pass. The
conductor fell into the trap. When he
passed through the train again Roberts
arose from his seat, and tapping him
on the shoulder, said:
''See here, you have not seen my
pass"
''No, sir" faltered the conductor,
"but-but know who you are"
"That makes no difference" retorted
Roberts with frOwn, "the rules are
made to be obeyed and not to be brok-
en-. The rules laid down for your
guidance say that any passenger who
has neither IL ticket nor pass must
pay his fare or else you must eject him
from the train"
81 know it," replied the crest fallen
conductor, "but-"
"No butts now you may CO."
81 haven't seen your pass yet,
though" demurely remarked the tick
et-puncher, wishing to demonstrate
the thOrOughness of the lesson.
"That's right" replied Roberts ap-
prOvingly, ''make no difference be-
tween the president of the road and
the poorest passenger"
He reached in his inside coat pocket
and then into his vest pockets. His
face grew red and he fumbled around
his hip pockets. The conductor grin
ned. Roberts sallOw complexion grew
paler, and then redder. He went
through his pockets again, but no pass
es. The conductors smile grew more
expansive.
''Humph !" exclaimed the president.
singular! Just stop as you pass this
way again"
The conductor stopped, and the
president dryly handed him s. bill
and told him to take out the fare. He
left his book of passes at his office.

Milk for a Summer Drink.

no, but tippling in pure milk is the
fashion now. Hundreds and thousands
of people in this city drink several
glasses of milk per day, and gladly
pay nickel per glass. There is a
good profit in the trade, and the res
taurants and cOnfectioners are prepar-
ed to meet the demand. Dozens of
people, gentlemen and ladies, of all

and drink it with evident relish. Even
the drug stores are beginning to see
the demand and are prepared to meet
it. You can go into almost any first
class drug store and obtain large
glass of pure milk right off the ice 1t
is, | think, the best drink of all for hot
weather. 1t quenches thirst, does not
promote excessive perspiration, and
affords a healthful and easily assimi-
lated article of food. 1t is largely TAX
ing the place of lager beer as sum-
mer drink. There is as much food in
a pound of milk as there is in pound
of beef, and it is digested and assimi-
lated without difficulty and with no
over production of heat. l know sew
eral persons who, during the past ten
days of hot weather, have not eaten as
much solid food as would make one
square meal, yet they are in good
flesh, have good appetites and excel
lent health and have not felt any bad
effects of the heat. They are simply
living on milk and light bread almost
entirely"

"With great sadness / write. A pa
tient who had been brought miracu-
lousy up from the chronic belief of
life in matter, consumption of the
stomach, constipation, ETC., SO that he

the belief called death. The change
took place at Hot Springs, New Mexi-
co, situated at the height of 5000 feet.

One is ready to smile at such nom
sensical talk, and yet in the city of
Boston alone there are 50 practicing
metaphysical scientists, and thousands
of converts, mostly from the rank and
file of the churches.
Mrs. Eddy denies belief in spiritu-
alism, but says that "spiritualism has
done much to move the wheels of the
ecclesiastical chariot, by making peO-
pie think, and the result is that multi
tudes cherish more rational views of
death, judgment, hell and heaven"
But this is not all. Not content with
taking away belief in material sub
stance, Christian Science boldly asserts
that God being spirit mast of necessity
beget in His own likeness that which
is spirit, as that which is born of the
spirit is spirit. AS such, there is no
personal Deity and no personal Christ /;
or in other words Christ did not come
in the flesh. OF such teaching God
speaks, through the mouth of His ser
want, John LIST epistle %, And every
spirit that cOnfesseth not Tor denies)
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh,
is not of God; and this is that spirit of
anti Christ.
One is led to ask, who can be de-
ceived by such compound of errOne-
Gus doctrines. In reply we would say,
it is not the ignorant classes merely
who are drawn into this delusive snare
by those who teach that God is in ev-
cry thing and that every thing is a
part of God but scholars and people
of ability in many departm ents, who,
looking at these errors through the
prism of popular ideas, see only the
beautiful surface, not realizing the fact
that underneath lies the volcanic lava
of death. Oh, sick one! Beware how
you tread too near the brink of this pit,
which is daily swallowing up its vic
Tins; and when Christian Science
whispers in your ear words of health
and prosperity, remember the siren of
old, who lured only to destroy.

sparrows Not to be Protected.

The English sparrow must go! Such
is the verdict of the American Ornith-
ologists' union. After an elaborate in
vestigation they recommended: L.
That sheltering or otherwise fostering
the sparrow by the public be discOur-
aged, and that it's introduction artifici-
ally into new localities, and its sale for
such purposes, be forbidden by law.
2. That all existing laws protecting the
sparrow be repealed, and that bOunties
be offered for its destruction. These
suggestions are heartily in accord with
the Homestead's views expressed sew
eral years ago. Massachusetts has
passed law specially exempting the
English sparrow from projections; so
has Michigan. The states at present
protecting this species are Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
New York, New Jersey and Ohio.
There are also protective laws in the

REPUBLICAN OPINION OF THE
PRESIDENT.

The president, we are glad to say,
has taken a stand. That he has an
honest, conscientious belief that "pub-
lie office is a public trust" and that
public officers are the servants and not
the masters of the people," we fully
believe. He has acted upon the idea
so often in all the public positions
which he has occupied that no man
will dispute the honesty of his purpose.
Despite all the attacks made upon the
administration for the many palapable
mistakes which it has made, it is but
justice to say of Mr.. Cleveland that,
generally speaking, he has shown a
sincerity in his desires to live up to
the principles which he has prOfessed
In many cases, we are sorry to say, he
has deviated from them, and, in large
number of instances, no valid excuse
was ever given. But, when all this
has been said, it does not conflict with
the belief held by men who possess Mr..
Cleveland's personal acquaintance and
confidence, that he really means to live
up to the high standards enunciated in
his inaugural address.
The difficulties which he has to over
come are something enormous. Elected
as candidate of the democratic party,
he has a not improper ambition for an
other term. This takes him out of the
field of that high moral courage which
would lead him, for excellent reasons,
to break with the protested party
leaders. Nor should we expect him to
do so. That would be asking self
forgetfulness and a sacrifice of personal
interest which is very seldom found.
VI, fnl. l. -
popularity and denunciations within
his party, he has withstood its impOr-
tunities and maintained bravely his
position in defense of honest money
and of respect for public opinion in
the administration of his office, emit
ties him to hearty commentator and
credit. He has not done all that he
could have done. He has not been so
prompt and vigorous as many men
hoped but he has certainly borne
himself great deal better than most
men would who had gone to Washing
ton with equally good ideas, and been
met by the same amount of pressure.
We look now, after years ex-
perimenting, to see him stand more
firmly than ever for an honest and de-
cent public service, obedient to the
laws and to the higher standards of
political decency which public senti-
ment is setting up. We expect dem
ocratic administration, but hereafter
more consideration for the cOnserva-
tive elements of the party, and less for
the workers of the machine. We ex-
pect this because we think the presi-
dent naturally leans that way, and be-
cause he has found that it is, all things
considered, the best and wisest course
for him to pursue.- Boston Advertiser.
