THE LOOM OF LIFE

The loom OF life with sturdy beat
The tramp, tramp, tramp Of human feet
Is weaving now q silken veil,
A living web, 80 fair, SO frail,
Yet every thread Is dearly bought
A flashing gem for human thought,
The warp was drawn when morning starB
Attuned their harps to golden bars,
Which echoed down the hills OF space,
And suns and worlds, with maiGen grace,
Joined I'm the song, piercing the air
With darts Of tone, Twas music rare
As long the lines of quiv'ring light
That chased away the gloom of night,
There hung as jewels there and long
The swaying tentacles of song.
Gods throne, the strong and sturdy beam,
Held fast the threads of light agleam,
And souls slipped down the golden way
To mate with forms OF sordid clay.

prosecution then made the opening address
setting forth the chain of evidence on
which conviction will be asked.

satisfactory. L think we shall make good
business together The best way is to place
money in our joint hands. Your son is. I
think, writing by this post" Queens Con

motive for the murder, as Colonel
Benwell was to pay $500 if his
son became satisfied with the farm.
William Mcdonald who said Burchell
came to him as farm pupil, McDonald's
examination threw considerable new light
on pupil farming business. He admitted
that he was to get Woodstock for Ford
