An old log cabin, long forsaken,
BY wind and weather rudely shaken;
A rusty ONE upon the door,
A broken paddock on the floor.
The bracted bindweed mantles all
The sagging roof and leaning wall;
Its snowy bells, with just dream
OF TWO blush, through the foliage CLEAN.
Over the footpath, grassy grown,
The wild rose THREE come drifting down;
Rare cups and FOUR to gather dew
For moonlight feast of elfin grew.
The wren builds in the window ledge,
The rabbit peers from out the hedge.

There are lakes, there are ponds, there are

There are cataracts, dashing to shivers
Der lodges of rock as they go;
There are puddles, where urchins securely
May float toy schooner or two,
But this is u water that surely

There are steamers that plunge through the

Like flame breathing dragons of old.
There are battleships fashioned for slaughter,

Don't Ten Al They Know.

If newspaper man plainly made public
all that be knows about the hidden move
mentsi in business or social life be would be
able to create many a sensation as well as to
enlighten the general public concerning
many things whereof they are likely 10 die
in ignorance. We suppose the Catholic
priest and the physician know more than
any of their neighbors concerning the per
sonal life of the community in which they
live, but an experience ofa quarter Of CEN
tury leads US 10 the conviction that the
newspaper man comes next TO them in the
abundance Of his knowledge and in certain
departments be does not yield even TO them.
Nor is his discretion less great. for in spite
Of his anxiety to print readable sheet and
contrary TO the general impression that he
puts everything he hears and much be i'm
agines into his newspaper, he is one Ofthe
most secretive Of men and carries about with
him whole menagerie of secrets, the e.
cape of any one OF which would create a
prodigious uproar and sometimes bring
proud head low. But it Is seldom that one
gets away.-Ah0Oaa Tribune.
