WILL BE OLD BY TOMORROW.

All! Life is 30 odd! Its pleasures and pains,
Its gladness as old as the earth,
We are telling over the old tale again
That thousands have told Ger our birth.
The flowers they bloom, the flowers they die,
Our hearts they may break In their sorrow,
To-day we forget our yesterdays sigh,
The new Will be old by tomorrow.
Young pulses are beating as warm and as high,
Loves kisses to-day are as sweet,
The soul goes out in tender sigh,
LIES ways are as soft to our feet.
Our bosoms swell high in the gladncss OF
mirth,
Our hearts meath their burden Of sorrow, 0
The pleasures and joys that to-day have their
birth,
The new will be old by tomorrow.
The angel Of death has his grim black pail,
And love has his own tender sigh,
And Time brings his changes unto us all
He doles them to you and to L
Then tell us your tales Of gladness and glee,
And chant us your dirges Of sorrow.
1t is always SO new to you and to me,
Though the new will be old by tomorrow.
And still it runs on-the story so sweet,
The story SO sweet in its pain,
We fain would return with lettering feet
And hear il all over again.
The flowers may bloom, the flowers may die,
Our hearts they may break in their sorrow,
To-day We forget our yesterdays sigh,
The new will be old by tomorrow.

announced that Blaine was in the hands
of his friends and would not decline the
nomination at Chicago. 1t would seem
that the great statesman was waiting to
see how the little state stood before
embarking again on the troubulous seas
OF presidential politics. A Hibernian
survivor of the battle of Trafalgar used
to tell the following experience: Just
before the engagement Lord Nelson
stepped on the quarter deck and said
where is Pat Murphy7" On being
assured that Murphy was at his post the
great admiral exclaimed ''let the battle
