A LAMENT.

Oh, for the honest, blithesome times
Of busky Sherwood long ago,
When Alan troled his amorous rhymes
And Robin twauged his crafty bow;
when Little John and l'riar puck
Trayersed the greenwood far and near,
FeGsting un many royal buck,
Washed down with brown October beer.
BESIDE their pur,lng sylvan rills,
hat kOew these yeOmen, bold and free,
OF enylOus cares and gre WsOme Ills
That now, sweet friend, veN YOU and mo!
Theirs but to roam the leafy glade,
Besrewing sherins, lords AMI priests
10 loll supine beneath the shade,
Regaliug monarchs with their foasts.
4 muTain seize these rlbald times
Where there is such "A lust for gold
That poets fashion all their rhymes,
Like y8rlet trude,iOlk, TO be sOldf
Not 50 did Alan when he troll'd
His ballads IN that merry glade
Nay, In those courteous days Of old
The minstrel spurned the tricks Of trade!
So, joyous friend when you and
Sing 10 the world our chosen theme,
Let's do as do the birds that ny
Careless DER woodland, void and stream,
Sing natures song, untouched OF art
Sing Of the forest, brook and plain
And, hearing IL, each human heart
VIII yibrate with the sweet refrain.

AN "ORGaN" TuArPays.

Mr.. Katkoif, the editor OF the Mos
COW Gazette, has been decorated by
the Gar with the Order of st. Vladl.
mir for the loyal pains he has taken to
"educate the people in clear concep.
tion of the true foundations Of the
Russian political constitution" or in
other words, the absolutism of imperial
authority.
The editor no doubt finds his posi-
tion one of profit as well as honor
nseful as well as ornamental. 1t is
probable that the Gazette Is to be count
ed among the very few newspaper or
gans left in the world that "pays" its
proprietor. 1t Is equally probable that
newspapers in Russia which are not or
gans do not pay and the editors OF that
country who stand by the "consttu.
lion" are scarcely to be blamed fo' 1t,
The decoration of the Order OF ST.
Vladimir Is much more comfortable
thing TO wear than ball and chain,
and the climate of Russia proper much
more agreeable than that of Siberia,
Therefore, Mr.. Katkof, the consti.
futional editor at Moscow, is to be con.
graduated upon having secured such q
firm lodgment In the good graces OF
his Government; and the Car ia lucky

In the United States, for instance,
organs are fast becoming things of the
past, excepting in local political con
tests, where they represent opposing
party candidates. The tendency of the
great newspapers Of the country Is t
unrestricted liberty, independent oi
outside dictation, or caucus obligation
or personal leadership, or the blandish
ments of power. The Government 1t
self is practically without an organ

Dry Goods and Dress Notes.


PolUnaises are revived.
Violet wood fans are the fall fancy.
Two-piece fabric frocks are the rule this
fall.
Sleeves are no longer cut tight above the
elbow.
shired corsages and full plastrons are all
the rage.

than ever.
Plaid velvets are coming in vogue, but
they are not pretty.
Sleeves are cut tight only from the elbow
to the wrist this fall.
Big and little buttons are both worn on
the same suit or garment.
Vlgogne and bourette are the popular
Paris cloths for fall frocks.
Velvet stripe broche silks come among

bodice is seen on new Paris dresses.
Tnsel-shot Madras lace curtains are
pretty novelties in window draperies.

kinds are the feature in fall fabrics.
Combinations of silk with light wool
stuffs are popular for first autumn frocks.
