boast of it
is IT TRUE,
The poet sat by his loving wife
With his baby sleeping near,
And penned i. song of a ruined life
And a wretched heart and drear.

TIL poet sat by his loving wife
With his baby sleeping near,
And penned = song of a ruined life,
And a wretched heart and drear.
Alone l walk thro' the world ~forlorn,
And my heart beats wild," he sang,
MY love is blighted by cruel scorn,
And my life is one long pang."
He softly whistled a merry air,
AS he trimmed his fearful lay,
Then tenderly kissed his infant fair.
And said. in accents gay.
Nov listen, wife, how my verses 60"
And he read tho sad refrain.
She listens; softly the teardrops flow
Down her tender cheeks like rain
And as he finished she turned her head.
Lest his eyes her grief should note.
With choking xpice, 'Is 1t trUeY' she said
Did you feel it as you wrotey'
The poet laughed as he kissed hor cheek,
"Oh, my foolish wifeI" said he,
Have you yet to learn that poets speak
Not passion, but fantasief
The man who wrote the Song of a Shirt
Never made a shirt, l ween;
The author OF Balaklava hurt
By a bullet had never been.
Think you that wrathful Achilles old
Had the time in his cruel rage
To cast his fury in metric mold,
And record it page by pager
THE heavy victim of black despair
Has no heart to tell his woe.
h lover, Tilted by cruel fair,
Does not care that the world should know
The poets heart is a silver lax
Unrufied by passions storm,
Where lights and shadows that DER It break
Are reflected in lifelike form
His vivid fancy and sympathy sweet
Let him read the worlds great heart;
But above its blighting cold and heat
He dwells in a world apart
And sings the happiness others know
And the griefs that others bear;
h heights and depths thath his verses show
Are those that he does not share.
IT mocking bird on the jasmine spray
Sings true to his faithful love,
Though wild or sad be his note or gay,
Like the jay or turtle dove.
Then wipe your jealousy's tears away.
My beloved wife and true,
Though my fancy. heart broken, wall its lay.
Yet my heart Is whole with you"

OF the recent anti European riots at Chin
Kiang. Chin Kiang is in ruins. The

Chinese general in command sent 500
men to protect the consulate. AS soon
as the mob appeared the soldiers capitu-
lated; some fled and the rest joined the
mob. The consuls wife fed barefoot
with her children from the back door Of
the consulate, while the mob, aided by the
soldiers, sacked AMI burned everything.
The missionaries houses ard chapel
shared the same fate. while the British
consul Hilsag was twice in Danger of
death. The American consulate was
looted and more houses burned. The
refugees took refuge on the bulks and the

der. a riot broke out apaIn Wednesday

LONDON, March 8. The dictum has
Just been laid down in the English law
courts that il is no breach Of good man
ners, much less a slandcrous o~ffense, &c
call a lady q Cow" This remarkable
decision was evolved by Mr.. Montague
Williamson, until recently the leader OF
the English bar, and now presiding Judge
of the London criminal court. Mrs.
Salter, a respectable and well-to-do
woman, had summoned "A neighbor for
disordcriy aud abusive conduct, laying
particular stress upon the fact that she
vas called a Cow" But the Judge
threw the case out of court and compelled
the complainant 10 pay the costs, remark
ing at the same time that the cow was so
clean and pleasant an animal that to APP
ply the adjective to a woman is no libel.
Until this decision is reversed by the
upper courts ii can be quoted as the law
OF the land.
