WILD coREoPsls.

A sea OF blossoms, golden as the glow
or morning sunlight on wind rocked bay,
Beneath the breeze of this rare autumn day
Heaves in soft undulation to and fro
Like incense, floating DER the marsh below
Come fragrant odors OF the late mown Lay
Beyond, in harmony of green and gray,
The graceful tamaracks tower In stately row,
And wading through the shimmering waves
with song
Upon his lips fair haired youth l see,
Who swings of the saffron blossom bells
Back roll the years--a melancholy throng,
And behold in sea girt Sicily
Theocritus amid the asphodels

The doctor refused, and Joplin, fearing arrest, resolved upon desperate meas ures. Joplin was raised in Illinois, and was one of the crack wing-shots of the country having shot against Budd at Clinton, la, at the great match of 1888, Budd being the shot who tied Bogardus, He gave friend the following letter to Miss Miller, telling the friend that he was going to leave the country:
