THE eREvITY or LOVE.

Lose is the silent star OF gray clad hours,
That melts 10 MINDLESS flame OF yermeil day;
ID Is the rose above the hidden thorn,
whose crimson leaves the wild winds sweep
away.
tt is a golden land that dawns and fades,
Above the binding Incense Of our years,
Nor Fiils 70 earth but that the heart must feel,
'Twas hut a mirage pictured in our tears.
It's feeting as The burealis rays
That sweep the northern heavens with their
fire,
Thai fash their light in million eyes afar,
And in that brief tempestuous fame expire.
hF the silken breeze of youth and hope,
That, as it signs across the star strewu floor,
Scarce seems 20 stir the petals Of the rose,
Or move the sails that stretch toward the shore;
But soon the winds become an angry gale,
And care and sorrow speak above the storm,
While lnrid gleams from far Off alien skies,
With fires Of fate the mornings sky deform;
And hope, that kept the glory Of the view.
Unheeding heard, nor saw with blinded eye,
Is pierced with pangs that rise the clouds among,
Clasps loye-and in each others arms they die,
Minnie Frances Murphy.

Editor Charles A. Dana, of the New
York Sun. said to crowd of journalists,
at Milwaukee,;
Above all. know and believe that human
ity is advancing, and that there is progress
in human life and human affairs, and that
as sure as God lives, the future will be
greater and better than the present or the
past
That is bit of Gospel truth. Let no
body forget It. Mr.. Dana .also uttered
these bits of advice, on the same occasion:
/. Get the news and all the news, and
nothing but the news.
9. Copy nothing from anybody's pnbli-
cation without perfect credit.
3. Never print an interview without the
knowledge and consent of the party inter
viewed.
4. Never print a paid advertisement as
news matter. Let every advertisement ap-
near ss an advertisement-no sailing under
false colors-
5. Never attack the weak. the defense
less, either by argument, by inyective, or
ridicule, unless there is some absolute pub
Lie necessity for SO doing.
8. Fight for your opinions, but don't
believe they contain the whole truth or the
only truth.
2. Support your party, if you have one,
but don't think ali the good men are In il
and all the bad ones outside of it.

The Ohio State Journal makes good
suggestion in the following:
The Springfield REPUBLIC learns that
Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood has under way an
Ohio centennial poem to be brought out
during the present year. We venture to
say that this production will rank in the
domain Of poetry with Henry Howe's great
work in history. BY the way, why should
there not be day for Ohio authors at the
Ohio centennial? If there should be, the
reading Of extracts from the Forthcoming
poem and history would not only be inter-
esting exercises for such day, but GER
tainly - interesting as any that will take
place In the great auditorium.

A correspondent of the New York Trib-
une, writing from Fort Ann, Washington
county, makes this statement: There is a
decided change in the attitude of the labor
ing class in this vicinity. 1 know of no one
who voted the republican electoral ticket in
1854 who will not do so this fall. But
know of large number Of democrats who
viii vote for Harrison" The editor of the
Tribune adds:
Assurances of similar import reach us
from all parts Of the state. The tide is ris-
ing, and il is with the republicans.

TRADE And sOCIABILITY.

The grocers' picnic has made pleasant
and conspicuous demonstration of the fact
that business and the social element can be
mixed, with good results, and it has been
noticed by our readers, that the idea Illus
trated in this notable picnic is already
growing. We are to have another (if not
more than one) trades picnic, this season,
and We shall have quite q number, next
year.
If tradesmen of one class or group
should cultivate friendly relations with
each other las they certainly should dol
then tradesmen of the several classes or
groups, should establish similar state Of
things; and tradesmen and their customers
should introduce friendly, fraternal senti-
meRt into their commercial relations and
dealings. These two classes embrace Tor
should embrace) the entire population; for
it is our opinion that all Springfield citizens
should purchase their goods and family
supplies of Springfield dealers.
The merchant who sells q man
what he wishes to buy, at .
price that Is satisfactory to him,
does him favor. Ceatainly the man who
buys goods of merchant and pays him his
price, does him q favor in turn. Here are,
then, two classes, who are mutually bene-
ited and who should, therefore, be mutually
friendly, and at least once year these two
social elements should mingle and exchange
the compliments of the season.
1t seems to us that board of trade pic
mic would be the most comprehensive and
satisfying thing of this sort that could be
devised. 1t would bring people Of all
classes : merchants, manufacturers, me-

No book so deserves to be an object Of pro-
found study. To indicate its different
parts, the times 1t was written In, and the
characters to which it gives prominence,
would furnish but poor idea of the book.
To appreciate the influence 1t has exercised
on the destinies ef the world 1t is necessary
to consider its authors, its claims, the study
and discussion of its text, and its circula-
tion amongst civilized peoples, because 1t Is
q compendium of the wisdom Of humanity
for ages.
DR.. Noble explains that the Martini edi-
tion of the Bible which IL Secllo repro
duces, is not 9 version altogether salts
factory 70 Protsstants," /" and that the notes
and comments which accompany the text
are not always what Protestants would
like to have them. Nevertheless the doc
tor declares that that version is substantially
correct. It il still the Bible-and this
newspaper has made it an open Bible, and
most significant fact is that it is the only
edition Of the Bible that the pope has not
officially disapproved in the Index" 1t
is creditable to young Italy that the first
week $4,000 copies of this Seculo were
sold. For It is q young and new Italy-an
Italy which, under the progressive and en-
iIghtened reign of King Humbert, is
making rapid strides and assuming and
maintaining 8 position among the great
European powers-that demands the popu-
larizing Of the worlds great book.
Not at all the least significant fact
in connection with this movement (for it Is
movement and movement which moves is
that both Catholics and Protestsnts in Italy
are reading the same Bible and accepting
the same doctrines, In large measure,
and we feel sure that As nations and
peoples become enlightened and pro-
gressive, Protestants and Catholics, and
of all denominations, will

MR. coRcoRAN's HOME,

mayor of the town. MI. Corcoran first Ell.
gagged in the dry-goods business and afterward
became commission merchant. From 1928
to 1886 he was in charge of the real estate busi-
ness Of the Bank of Columbia and OF the
branch the United States Bank at Washing
ton. He then entered business as q banker and
broker, in which he renamed until
1854 In 1910 he took the late George w. Riggs
into business with him. When the Mexican
War broke out the Government had great
difficulty in inducing prominent tnancers
to float its bonds. The firm of Corcoran
& Riggs thereupon offered to undertake
the work, and by their skill in accomplishing
the task, not only laid the foundation
of their subsequent fortune but earned
for themselves high names in the financial
world. In 1885 Mr. Corcoran MARI ed the daugh-
ter of Commodore Morris. She died five years
later, leaving an only child, Louise, who in 1859
was married to Hon. George Eustis, then a
member OF Congress from Louisiana Mrs.
Eustis, like her mother, survived her marriage
only a few years.

ph.lanthropist that Mr.. Corcoran is best known.
His benefactions are long standing. In 1917
he purchased the site on Oak Hill Cemetery,
Georgetown, expended about S12O,OOo in improv-
ing it, and presented the cemetery to his native
town. The Corcoran Gallery of Art he
established in 1857, spending about
100000 fitting it up, and in addition establish.
ing an endowment fund of nearly million dol
lars for its benefit. The war interrupted his
plans with respect to this structure, but at it's
close he entered UPON the work with increased
energy, and transferred his entire collection Of
paintings, statuary and works of art to it,
Another Of his large public gifts is the
Louise Home, which he founded in memory Of
his wife. It is intended as home for aged
