THE OLD MANS BOY.


In Sleepy Hollow Graveyard when the long day

And where caressing zephyrs the clustered green

grave.
On this green hill meath sun and stars will sleep
from age TO
The Dreamer. in his dreamless sleep, the Mystic
and the Sage
The best (the crown Of all her years. our Western
World show.
The fullest fowerage OF our time. Is buried here
below.
They sleep heed the Winter storm, feel

They sleep. but the strong words they spake

And then hehel1 n gray old who walked
among the graves.
Great men ale buried here" I said. He wiped

Great men," he sighed. IL know-but then my
boy IL buried here.
God gave them strength and length of days till all
their work done
My boy-my boy We buried here before his work

The Dreamer and the Mystic-I left them to their
fame,
And silent left the poor boys grave-the grave
without name,
Their home is in the thought Of men in nations
The boy finds love as warm as theirs in his old
fathers heart

SPRING..

The infant Spring is mellow Joy to those
Who reap no tares.
Who spill their cares
Whose gardened hearts no thorn disclose
A winged Spring. that losses buds on high,
To spread their charms,
And reach their arms,
And clasp the favors OF the sky.
A wanton Spring. whose cloak of satin snow
IL flung aside
In sensuous pride.
To boast the breasts where violets blow.
\ cunning Spring. that filings its perfumed net
To tangle birds
Whose jewelled words
No art capture or forget.
A cruel Spring. that hides behind the rose
The needle thorn
That holds in
The touch that lends world repose.
A sobbing Spring whose wintered tears inspire
Dull earth to bloom.
And face the doom
OF ashes in a summers fire.
\ Promethean Spring that robs the sun
OF every shade
His art has made.
And all the work his hands have done,
To warm and cool and strip or plume world,
From southern CLOVIS
To polar SHOWS,
on spiral spaces lightly curled.
Thy strange. wild notes on bending boughs are
borne.
That shall not break.
Though tempests shake
The heart from which their power is torn.
The sea thy voice obeys. and genter prints
4 warmer kiss
On sands that miss
The blush of which their glow but hints.
Pale sands that pale as death below a sun
That plucks the shade
From every blade,
And scatters all his skill has done;
The waves white lips thy sunken cheeks impress
Yet only moan
An echos tone.
Mad monody OF the souls distress.
Eternal Spring. In endless promise skilled;
Whose hopeless chase
Pursues a
No solar promise yet has filled:
Forever thou hast never been the same
To any two
Below the blue
OF heaven. yet one through thought and name.
Your buds are dead; your blossoms never caught
\ bloom or blush,
or dying fush
Not all within the spirit wrought.
Weep on with those who weep. and laugh and sing
IRIS gladness' throb
And sorrows sob
That mould thy mighty heart. Spring!
Thy snooded tresses time nor thought unroll;
They only set
Their silky net
To snare the magic Of the soul

WITH SOME NOTES ON NJ WORTH

Behold the hardly classic but amiabe and bust

robe and the cap emulate those of the romantic
Wagner; but though picturesque in his tastes, the
rather heavy British face of the great couturier
speaks Of no romantic streaks in his nature.

Few II any, visit with intention the last resting
place of Dante Rossett, at Birchington. about
mile from Westgate- n-Sea. Some there are, in

ramble through the churchyard of the little village
but they are few This scarcity OF visitors arises
probably rather from ignorance as to where the
poet painter lies buried than from Indifference
There must be many an admlrer OF Rossett among
the thousands who will during this summer visit

PATHOS OF EVERYDAY LIFE

THE POCND-kEEPEE.
In our district. years ago.
Were boys the great world ought to know,
Joe Bean could draw upon his slate
Fine pictures that we all called great,
And after school he passed it round
And then our wonder was profound.
They'll beat" said Squire Erastus Brown.
Most any chrome In the town.
He'll make an artist. sure as fate.
or whom. some day. we'll all be proud"
But Joe moved to another State
And then got lost in the crowd.
In the same district Israel Finn
Could play upon the violin;
And when he hdded all us boys
Would gather round to hear the noise.
Sam Craig. who'd been to Boston and
Heard the best nddlers In the land
He said straight out that he should call
Young Israel Finn the best of all.
When he grew up and moved away
His genius was by all allowed
We said. THE world will hear him play
But he got lost in the crowd
In the same district Ezra Prime
Was a great hand to make rhyme
From him the poetry seemed 10 now
Like snrinr brooks fed with melted snow;
And Jed Drew, who had read lots'
And knew the hymns Of Isaac watts
Said he'd no doubt that Ezra Prime
Would be the poet Of his time.
But Ezra left like the rest.
We said. His fame will echo louu
From North to South from East 10 west
But he got lost in the crowd.
In the same district Abr'am Beach
Most any time could make speech
And orr old school committeeman
Who once had heard the "Godlike Dan'
Said webster made splendid SCUM"
And threw his voice for miles arouiiu'
'Twould fill a thousand-acre lot
Eut Abr'am knocked him out for thought!
So he couldn't stay in such town
Where MS poor fellows hoed and ploughea
He went to seek a world-renown-
But he got lost in the crowd.
There was man named Robert BURNS
Who lived among the grass ana FERNS
Who did hard work with his right arm
And raised good verses on his farm;
And while he lived and farmed 1t there
His poetry crop was pretty fair
Sometimes we move on faster, see'
BY simply staying where we be.
The crowd is large and men are small
And heaped together like a cloud
And he is pretty mddlng tall
Who Is not lost in the crowd.
There was man whose name was Grant
Who grew like an obscure plant
For forty years and blossomcd late
Then burst "A full-blown flower OF fate.
This backwood tcamster drove his team
Right through red Wars blood swollen stream
Right through the smoke and battle roar
And hitchcd 1t at the Whit" House door.
He stayed at home and worked away
TIL the time called. and called him. loud,
Then buckled on his sword one day,
And found himself In the crowd
Rut WHY take Grant and Burns? Take me,
Born here raised here and here be,
But still my feow-townsmen found
No better man to run tho rounf.
And / want you To note 1t down.
I'm king Of every COW In town.
And all tho hcifcrs that you see
They stand IN mortal awe OF mo.
I STAYED right here and worked at home.
And all the town OF me is proud.

OUTwITTED By THEIR W1vEs.-The
tables were neatly turned Monday night
by fifteen young wives ofFairview, Pa

popular spectacular and variety per
permance at the Opera House, and the
Young husbands yearned to lay ASIDE
The restraints of domestic happiness
and imbibe the ecstasies supplied be-
hind the footlights. The fifteen had
met several times and talked the mat
ter over, and decided they would at
tend, leaving their tender better halves
at home. Hence block of seats were
purchased very near the orchestra. Ii
is hard to keep secret from fiteen
wives in as many homes, and they got
wind of what was going on. They
thought it would be tiue joke to see
The Show also, and they engaged the
ows of seats just in front of the ones 10

Last night the fifteen young men Sip
ped around to the Opera House early
:! hey were all in their seats and the
curtain was about to be rung up when
down the aisle marched the fifteen
wives. They smilingly filed into the
vacant chairs and saluted their nus
bands and enjoyed the play. The
ct agrin of the men was doubled when
tbey learned that the women had also
had their seats charged to them.
