Whispers.

whispers.
When the summer moon is clear,
And the soft wind in the leaves
Sweetest fancies round weaves,
It must fall upon the ear
In whispers.
In the forest grand and old,
With its silence dim and deep,
Secrets of the mighty sweep
Of eternity told
In whispers.
When the dear ones end their play,
And the pretty eyelids close,
AS we watch their calm repose
All our tender words we say
In whispers.
When the power of love is felt
And the words of passion rise
AS we gaze in dropping eyes,
Quickly then the voice will melt
In whispers.
So on mother natures heart,
In her peace and ten derness,
Love, / wait for your caress,
And the bliss you may impart
In whispers.

The Lost Letter.

Seei This is the secret the light discloses
AS it dinly peers through the cob-webbed pane
OF the garrett window. How long it's lain
In the dark with the cinnamon roses,
Among the satins and stiff brocade,.
Under this hat with it's high cockade.
In old red coat, that valiant Tory
Wore through the wars RS An here is the place
''Au for King George and old Britain's glory!"
Those the last words that his loyal breath
And his proud lips framed, as he dropped in death
'.All for the King!' Yes, that is the
That hidden away in this old red coat,
Is carfully folded time-stained note.
For Millicent's father thought it treason
She should plight her troth. or keep fond tryst
With a rebel. And so the letter missed
The maiden's hand, and here it reposes,
Though more than a hundred years have flown,
And over her grave the summers have thrown
The of the cinnamon roses.
These the lines that, in trembling haste
On the eve of battle, her lover traced
.sBeloved-To-night my liberty,
Yea, my life shall risk for thee,
For one short moment to look on thy face
And clasp thy hands in a last mbrace.
Meet me once more when this long day closes,
Sweetheart, down by the cinnamon roses"
The voting m DON swung like silver
In a mist of clouds, and the dsws fell damp;
A bugle called from the distant camp,
But still he stood as the gloom grew denser,
Trying to quiet his hearts loud beat,
And listening in vain for her coming feet
Brave patriot heart, that the morrow
Should wonder no more with throbbing pain
Why Millicent came not down the lane
While she, with a strange forbo1ing sorrow,
Restlessly thrummed the spnet keys,
Awakening the saddest of melodies
s'All for King George and Old Britain's glory!"
And the soldier fell, and she never wist
- Of his faithful heart OF his lonely tryst.
Only this letter could tell the story,
Folded here where no eye might mark,
Hidden a hundred years in the dark
This letter the dim gray light discloses.
And the days passed on with their weary feet
Till her aching heart ceased at last to beat
And under the cinnamon roses,
Long years ago she went to her rest;
The secret was safe in the old oak chest.

street, yesterday afternoon, begging
money. The mendicant was very per
sistent, though respectful in his demands
and his attentions caused several persons
to complain to the officer. Policeman
Hammel escorted the old man to the Cen
trail Station, and locked him up on the
charge of being common beggar. The
prisoner registered as Dennis Sweeney, a
native of Ireland, and he surprised the
officers by giving his age as ninety-one
years. He did not appear to be over sixty
years of age and seemed unusually spry
for man of even threescore. He de-
clared that he was bern in 1897, and said
that his home was in WATERFOWL, Wis.

which his great age would pre-suppose.

him transportation to his home.

no road made, so they strapped the can

An important book is about to be
brought out by Hon. Richard w. Thomp-

industrial and commercial legislation of
the government-or, to speak more terse-
~, of tariff legislation-from the earliest
days of the government to the present
time. The work is timely one, and will
be an important event In current litera-
ture Like whatever Col. T Thompson does,
the work will be done well, his knowledge
and experience we'll fitting him for the
task. The book will consist of forty-six
chapters, and it is complete and ex-
haustive compilation of all the facts of
our history upon the tariff, and an exam
ination of the operations of the various
tariff laws since the first one of 1896 The
volume will show how this nation was
founded on the principle of protection to
American industry Col. Thompson deals
fully with the history of the tariff, quot
ing all the Democratic presidents from
Jefferson to Jackson, and showing that
the free-trade movement was introduced
and fathered by the Southern slavehold-
ing multiplying oligarchy. The book, how
ever, is not partisan one, and will be a
mine of information for the free-trader as
we'll as for the believer in protective
tariff. 1t is a volume of about 600 pages,
and it is to he issued by r. s. Peale &
Co., of Chicago, who will sell it by sub

pushing business men, and they hope to
have the work on the market by the mid
