OLD THINGS ARE BEST.

Old things are best. We wander
So strangely and so lonely
From here to that world yonder,
Why not grow fond and fonderf
In tried affections only?
Old friends are best. Their faces
Each year seem dearer, dearer,
And glow with new-found graces;
Then, ah! These vacant places
But bring the living nearer.
Old homes are best. The laughter
That tells of childhood's pleasures
Beneath the ancient rafter,
Surpasses all that's after
And all of manhood's treasures.
Old love is best. Its sweetness
Makes pleasant sorrows chalice.
And spite of Times dread feetness
1t gains in calm complcness
And laughs at Ages malice.
Old faith is best the teaching
OF heart enshrined mothers.
What profits subtle preaching,
Or blind and eager reaching
For doubt that mocks and snothersf
Old ways are the best; the ssledness
OF simpler lives and filter.
Ere wealth had come with madness,
Or folly left its sadness.
And sin its lessons bitter.
Old things are best. The glimmer
OF age forbids new choices.
oh, as mine eyes grow DINNER,
Family across the simmer
Watt me the old, sweet voicesi

A SONG FOR TWILIGHT.

Now the wiudsa-wailing go
Through the sere, forsaken treesi
Now the DAY is waxing low,
And above the troubled seas
Faint stars glimmer, and the breeze
Hover; sad with memories.
Now the time TO part has come
What Is left for US to sayf
Shall we wander sad and dumb
J Down this gardens leaf-strewn way,
Or by tossing waves and gray
Hand in hand together strayP
In this garden shall we stand,
In the days departing light
Here, where first l touched your hand
On that unforgiven night
When you stood, mid roses bright
Dream-embodied to the sight?
Where we met. Love, shall we part2
In this garden shall we twain.
Mouth to mouth, as heart to heart,
Loving turn, and kiss again
In this garden shall we drain
Loves last bitter-sweet, and pain9
Nay, Love, let us leave this place;
Let us CO. Dear, to the beach,
Where in happy summer days,
Sleeping Love awoke to speech;
And his voice, tho low, could reach
To the deepest heart of each.
There the sea winds drifting sweet
From some strange land far away.
And the blown waves as they meet
One another in the bay
These together haply may
Hint some word for us to say.
Let us kiss then, Dear, and go
Down together to the sea.
We will kiss, Dear, meeting so,
If the days that are to be
If my heart should then be free,
In you should remember me!

Derrick is the name of crane used in
shifting and lifting heavy weights. 1t
is said to be so called from one Theo-
doric, who, while serving at Cadiz as a
soldier under Robert, Earl of Essex, was
doomed to death for some crime, but
pardoned by his commander on condition
that he would hang twenty-three other
malefactors. Such are the revolutions of
fate that subsequently he was employed
in London to behead Essex, the man who
had saved his life. Philadelphia Record.

NO FAVORs FROM PERU.
One of Balmaceda's Cruisers Not Allowed
to Make Repairs.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-An import
ant cablegram in regard to the Gillian
situation has been received by the State
Department.
1t is from Consul Daugherty, at Cal
lao, Peru, and relates to battle which
had been fought in that neighborhood.
The Consal cables that Chilian man
of-war had been worsted by an insur-
gent cruisers and had come into Callao
for repairs, but the Peruvian authori-
ties refused to allow the man-ofwar to
make the repairs and fit out again.
The Consul does not give the name OF
the ship, but it was probably one of the
larger cruisers of which the Balma ceda
government kept control.
As Callao is seven hundred miles
north of IquiQue, the insurgents head
quarters, the inference is that the civil
war is far from ended, and that the in
surgentS equal the Government in naval
strength. The action OF the Peruvian
authorities would indicate that they are
not friendly to the Balmaceda Govern
ment, and probably recognize it simply
on level with the insurgents.
