Tacon's Stern Decree.

from Havana was the magnificent es-
tate of the Marquis of Villafores.
He was young widower of enormous
wealth, and famed as a man of pleas

GUS as ever was a veritable castle, and

him from assault and aid him in
carrying off his prey by main force
when softer means were unavailing.
1t was while Tacon was carrying out
his reforms with will and hand of iron
that the gay Marquis. passing through
Havana one day, cast his eyes on a
blooming Andalusian face bent over
her work at the open bars of window
in one of the poorer streets. He stop

The Old Front Gate.

oh. give me back the old front gate,
And let IL swing once more
Just where IL early swung and late
Before our cottage door;
And learn the secret II you will,
That this Is why we love IL;
Some hearts are now forever still
That used TO beat above IL.
Some happily have found a mate
That once did finger long
Where father hung the old front gate
On hinges coed and strong,
There maidens shy and lovers bold,
The maple boughs to screen them,
Repeated oft the scene 80 old,
With that old gate between them.
Full well we know when friend or foe
The clicking latch had found,
And rosy checks were apt TO grow
More rosy at the sound;
The eyes Of pretty Genevieve
Were yelled in jetty fringes
When, at certain hour Of eve,
The gate creaked on its hinges.
Then give me back the old front gate,
And let II swing once more,
IL will, perchance the old-time state
OF kindliness restore,
And many friends who love to press
The latch that lifted lightly,
Win come again the home TO bless
With faces shining brightly.
