AN OLD LOVE STORY.

Her breath is the breath of the open rose;
The waves are a-tremble, a-tremble 10 bear
The silvery steps Of the dance she goes.
For she dances as one whose heartis glad,
To q wnsomc music, swift and bright.
Till the ripples laugh and the WINDS e. mac
In the flying hair of the wanton Night.
s.Nieht loved me once - the white Day cries
might with the stars that strew her hair:
But now, at my coming, she turns and flies;

Yetjust when the sunset lights the main.
And he passes in golden death away,
Shyly the Night creeps back again
To kiss the eyes Of the dying Day.

The amount of laxity in granting 'leave

that Congressman do not use its pages for

complete absorption in the pursuit of self
advertising.
