The Vanished Years.

The year! The vanished years! The cycles swing
With their majestic sweep, and bear away
Into the ShorelesS sea, where singers sing
Endless ebb-songs, the years that would not stay.
The years How would their visits seem to me
If could traverse them just as they were
Bathed in the light that never was on sea
Or shore The bloSsom-garlanded parterre
Is but a lane all fennel-fringed that strays
By meadows daisy-pied in memory;
And through the silence the skylarkS lays
Drift to my heart In strands of melody.
o bloomful, blissful orchard aisles. it seems
The smell of lovely pink-white blossoms floats
Through mists and distances athwart my dreams,
Commingling with the orioles woosome notes!
o happy harmonies, that never let
The ducet STRAINS droop to the minor KEY
No plaintful strains in all its minstrelsy!
The years! They dawned and waned with shift
and shine,
And seem in retrospect o'er-canopied
With skies forever blue and smiles divine
Beaming from Heaven with songs accompanied.
o land that lies ATARI o time that seems
A vision fair of bliSSful Already,
Where in childish moods and maiden dreams
Found hidden lines, unwritten poetry!
o years! No summoning song or yearning plea
AvailS to stay their flight, or ransom one
HalcyOn season, save as memory
In holy avarice holds it for her owni

A Lesson on Slang.

1t was at the Institute of Technology, a
few days before the close of the term. One
of the professors had been troubled by hear
ing some of the students indulging in slang.
Accordingly, when his class had assembled
to hear his lecture, he gave them ten min
ute discourse on the use of slang, told them
its use was, among persons of cultivation and
refinement, sure sign of ill breeding. Then
he went on with his regular lecture, and at
its close called the attention of his class to
the fact that some of them had been remiss
in their studies, and that it behooved them to
make up for lost time, or they would fail to
pass the approaching examinations. 1.-THE
fact is" he concluded, 'you,ve got to brace
up or you'll get left" which shows that
preaching and practice are often wide apart.

The Gratifled Lecturer.

A lecturer to whom we once listened, who
read every word ofhis lecture, had sewed the
leaves together with such injudicious firm.
ness that the last word Of each line was all
but indecipherable-a pain to himself and an
evaporation to his audience. This gentle
man was so little aware of the want of touch
between himself and his hearers that the
ironicsl plaudits which gradually began to sa-
lutte his success in getting at more difficult
word than usual only evoked an assurance,
that though the applause was extremely gratis
flying to him he rather feared 1t took a
timel The cheers this provoked took un
much time that when they were over o q
part of his hearers were also gone.

Did Not Do Miracles.

A little town near Providence boasts q
church whose pastor, besides being an elo-
quent preacher is man of stalwart proper
tions. At one of his evening prayer meetings
the services were disturbed by two young
men, who audibly scoffed at everything they
saw or heard. Finally the pastor remon-
strated with them on their behavior, and ask
ed them why they attended the meeting.
"We came here to see miracles performed"
impudently replied one of the rascals. Leav-
ing the desk and walking quietly down the
aisle, the pastor seized one after the other by
the collar, and as they disappeared ont of the
door, remarked: "We don't perform mira.
cles here, but we do cast out devils"

Thus far few persons of Anglo-Saxon

CATHOLIC BENEVOLENT LEGION.

Jersey City Council held its regular
meeting last Monday. The comrades
were well pleased to see their president
in the chair. Cornrade Harrington has
hsd quite a spell of illness; Comrade Dom
lin is also very sick and the officers urge
the comrades to visit this afflicted COM
rade. Another name added to the C. B.
l. roll of honor and more credit to Com
rade Shannon. there is no doubt but that
the Council will recognize the untiring
efforts OF this comrade. A very pleasant
bour was spent under Good of the Legion.
The genial president always willing to be
agreeable opened with the wild Irish
BoyN Conrade Brady wonders it the
Conrade President was very tame In his
youth. The feeling manner in which he
sings this song seems to recall some of his
youthful doings, Comrade Hanlon fol-
lowed with ~The Winds that Blew
Across the Wild Moor" Comrade
Hanlon has always some old time
ballad to give and when he
sings the Council is on the qui vive to
hear some old favorite Comrade Shannon
was next. Enough praise can not be given
tnis comrade, ever ready to further the
interest OF the Legion In increasing 9 its
membership; he also is the life of his own
Council. Two or more comrades like him
would send the G. B. L. to the front ran
OF all benevolent orders. He sang stSally
In An Alley in such masterly way that
tomrade Hart, who thinks himself quite
musical critic, was all at sea. Comrade
Brady here attracted the atteution of the
orator, and to the great surprise of all he
gave Rock of Ages" In a very creditable
manner. The c0mrade can sing vel, and
will be frequently heard in future Like
Comrade Burke, he always pleads TO be
excused. but hereafter the comrades will
see to IT that he does not escape and will
be among the foremost members of the
Amusement Committee. Others fol-
lowed, and an enjoyable hour was we'll
spent. Comrade Burke was called away
early and SO missed o good time. Com
rad Connors was on hand, but declined
70 sing, having forgot his notes, but will
oblige at the next meeting, which will be
held on Monday, June l.
