MY SUBJECT.


Ihavc searched In vain for subject
To which my muse would be kind,
Many visions grave and gladsomo
Came crowding through my mind;
But they bring no inspiration
10 my weary brain or heart,
No sweet and fragrant flower OF thought
The sluggish muse TO stArN
Ah, but yos their is subject t
Ever old yot ever now,
Like strain OF mellow rapture,
Set TO music sweet and true;
Like glimpse OF golden glory
From the heavenly home above.
Which tenderly thrills in every heart
The magic chord OF love.
When the days bright rosy vision
Softly sinks TO twilight gray
When the children's merry laughter
Hushed and weary is from play,
Little dimpled hands are folded,
Voices tuned TO prayer above,
And the infant steps are guided
With q wealth OF mother Iope.
Twilight's family tinted beauty
Fades TO dusky purple night,
Bright the cleaning lamps of heaven
Ono by one appear to sight;
Then the maiden from the easement
Watches the bright stars above,
Dimples, bushes, as n footstep
Thrills her pi''liSh heart with Iope.
Slowly tho nights hours are passing,
Glistening stars have fainter grown.
But the moons soft silver radiance
Shines majestic from her throne,
Rests upon apatient watcher,
With a comfort from above,
AS she cases pain and sickness
With her crown of ,oifely lope.
Soft the darkness OF the midnight
Changes TO the morning gray,
And the rosy flush OF sunrise
Tells the coming OF the day;
Bat the watchers task is over,
For the soul has gone above,
And the dead face calmly smiling,
Tells the grandeur of God's fo0c.
Thus II is in life's long journey,
There is need in every soul
For some love however humble,
To make life q perfect whole;
And no heart so cold or hardened
But with love must sometimes bound,
Ah. the poet says 1t truly,
Love does mako the world go round.

"A Chinese newspaper has been in.
vestigating the origin of foot-cramping
by Chinese women. The practice is of
very ancient date. Some affirm that it
arose in the time of the five dynasties-
that is, in the tenth century, A. d. Jao
Niang, favorite of LII Yu, the last en-
peror of these dynasties, tied up her
feet with silk in the shape OF crescent
moon. and all the other beauties of the
time initiated her. The literature OF
previous dynasties does not allude to the
custom.

The Republican Municipal Convention
met at noon yesterday in B'nai Birth Hall

ers, Chairman of the Republican County
Committee, who stated that since the first
meeting of the County Committee this year
every effort had been made to harmoDize the
party and with most gratifying success, for
all friction had been eliminated. He be-
lieYed that the presentation of united
front, providing an acceptable ticket is nom-
mated, ought to elect every nominee at the
November election.
The name of III. A. Dorm for temporary
Chairman was proposed by Alexander Nc
Boyle, and Mr. Dorm was unanimously
chosen. In accepting the position Mr.. Dorm
said that the Republicans should be cOngrat-
uated upon the political situatiOn in view

qualification may be offered.
