The Poet of the Past,

Sadly the Poet of the Past complains
That all his tar illusions fade away;
No more the fairies in the woodland play,
No longer Fancy undisputed reigns.
The stubborn world his magic art disdains,
And harsher grows, and colder, day by day;
Beauty, for use, is trampled into clay;
Musicis dead, and only sound remains.
The Goolden Age was ended long ago;
The songs are sung, and greatness is no more;
What themes are left to set our hearts aglow,
And wake anew the fiery tongues of yore?
Far from its source the Stream OF Life runs low
In weedy shadows on a barren shore.

The year 1888 brings with it new
duties and responsibilities, or a re-

may be a more glorious year to you
than than the one not long since

The days are lengthening, and
will continue to grow longer until
about the 21st of June, at which
time the summer solstice begins
then for few days the days are of
the same length, when they begin
to shorten imperceptibly until the
21st of December, the winter SOL
stice. For convenience in teaching,
it is customary to say that the 21st
of June is the longest and the 21st
of December the shortest day of the
year, yet, in fact, several days pre-
ceding and following these days are
equal with them in length.
