TWO LOpERS.



Two lovers by moss grown spring;
They leaned soft checks together there.
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes song.
o budding time
o loves blest prime
Two welded from the portal step;
The bell made happy carolings,
The air was soft as tanning wings.
While petals on the pathway swept.
o pure-eyed bride!
o lender bride!
Two faces DER a cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked;
These pressed each other while they
rocked;
These watched life which love had sent.
Q solemn hour!
o hidden power!
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light fell about their knees.
On heads that rose by slow degrees
Like buds upon the lily spire.
o patient lifel
o tender strife!
The two sat still together there;
The red light shone about their. knees.
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left the lonely pair.
o voyage fast
vanished past
The red light shone about the floor
And made the space between them wide;
They drew their chairs up side by side
Their pale cheeks joined, and said "Once

ANTICS OF THE RED ANT
How the Little Creatures Managed
Bridge the Molasses.

How the Little Creatures Managed to
Bridge the Moiasses.
Rocky Mountain News.
The following remarkable story, told
by an eye witness, is entitled to place
among the instances of intelligence
among the lower animals. A cook was
much annoyed TO find his pastry shelves
attacked by ants. By careful watching
it was discovered that they came out
twice day in search of food, at about
Z in the morning and in the afternoon.
How were the pies to be protected
against the invaders9
He did not have long to wait, for at
$50 o'clock he noticed that off in the
left-hand corner of the pantry was a
line of ants slowly making their way in
the direction Of the pies. They seemed
like vast army coming forth to attack
the enemy. In front was leader, who
was larger than any of the others, and
who always kept little ahead Of his
troops.
They were of the sort known as the
medipm-sized red ant, which is regarded
as the most intelligent of its kind, whose
scientific name is formica rubra.
About 40 ants out of 500 stepped out
and Joined the leader. The general and
his aids held council and then pro-
ceeded to examine the circle of molasses.
Certain portions of ii seemed to be as
signed to the different ants, and each
selected unerringly the points in the
section under his charge where the
stream of molasses was narrowest.
Then the leader made his tour of inspec-
ton.
The order to march was given and
the ants all made their way to hole In
the wall at which the plastering was
loose.
Here they broke rank and set about
carrying pieces of plaster to the place in
the molafses which had been agreed
upon as the narrowest. To and fro they
went from the nail hole to the molasses
until, at 11.30 O'Clock, they had thrown
a bridge across. They then formed
themselves in line again and marched
over, and by 11.45 every ant was Eating

BEYOND THE SUNS EFT.


The road that passed his fathers door
lie thought stretched on forevermnre:
Through fragment wales of tangled grass,
Or many misty mountain pass,
out into wonders unexpresscd
Beyond the cloudlands of the west
Through lands and cities of renown,
To where the mighty sun goes down.
And so he left his fathers door
And said, 81 will return no more"
He travelled forth beyond the bridge,
He climbed the lofty mountain ridge,
He passed the river and the town
To find out where the sun wen; down..
But when he sank at close of day,
The sunset still was far away.
He trod through many wind-swept glen;
In mighty towns he mixed with men;
The breath Of many an alien breeze
Tossed him Ger unfamiliar seas
lie breathed the spicy gale that blows
From Southern archipelagoes.
And in the quiet Eastern calm
He sought sweet sleep beneath the palm,
But when he looked at close of day,
The sunset still was far away.
He thought to leave his fathers door
And travel on forevermore.
A withered pilgrim, bent and gray,
Kept on his unfamiliar way.
Deep versed in lands, u man of men,
A universal citizen.
lie crcled all the earth; once more
lie stood before his fathers door
Though many years his father slept
Upon the mountain side unwept-
He stood there wrinkled, worn and brown,
He stood there as the sun went down,
And in the twilight dim and gray
The sunset was not far away.
Out from the many millions hurled
He sank down weary Of the world,
With all his tired journey DER
To die beside his fathers door,
And said, sad smile on his brow,
81 pass beyond the sunset now
