A VISION or THE PAST.


Strange dreams Of what used to be
And what dreamed would be. swim
Before my vision. faint and dim
As misty distances we see
In pictured scenes of fairy landE
And ever on. with empty handA
And eyes that ever lie to me,
And smiles that no one understands,
Rrope adown my destiny
Some say waver when walk
Along the crowded thoroughfares.
And some leer In my eyes. and talk
OF dullness, when see in theirs
Like fishes eyes, alive or dead
But surfaces of vacancy
Blank disks that never seem to see,
But CLINT and glow and glare instead.
The ragged shawl wear Is wet
With driving, dripping rains. and yet
II seems a royal raiment, where,
Through twisted torrents of my hair,
l see rare gems that CLEAN and shine
Like Jewels in a stream of wine;
The gaping shoes that clothe my feet
Are golden sandals, and the shrine
Where courtiers grovel and repeat
Vain prayers, and where In Joy thereat,
A. fafr prince doffs his plumed hat,
And kneela, and names me all things sweet
Sometimes the sun shines, and the lull
OF winter noon is like tune
The stars might twinkle to the moon
II night were white and beautiful
For when the clangor of the town,
And strife Of traffic softens down.
The wakeful hunger that nurse,
In listening, forgets to curse,
Until-ah, joyi with dropping head
browse, and dream that am dead
And buried safe beyond their eyes
Who either pity or despise.

Quail Is Cheap Th,. Season.

One Of the most astonishing things
just now is the cheapness Of quail In ali
the restaurants around the city. I be-
lieve the birds are remarkably plenty
this year, for the market is certainly
drugged with them.
1t is amusing to see men who have all
their lives looked upon quail as rather
an expensive luxury pick up bill Of
fare from restaurant table and read,
Roast quail, thirty-five cents" They
can scarcely believe their eyes. The
majority of them "just know for a cer-
tainty" that the dish is not what it pre-.
tends to be. 1t can't be possible they
tell you. The birds must be robins or
something like that. All the same they
eat them and enjoy the meal, for the
birds are quail, and good ones too.- New
York Herald.

why He Failed.

A queer story is told Of q Clermont
county merchant q few weeks ago.
While in this city he was attracted by
the watches displayed in a pawnshop
window and stepped inside to examine
them. Two or three persons from his
village happened to pass and saw him.
They went home and gossiped about the
matter. A report was spread that he
was hard up and had been seen pawning
his watch in Cincinnati. The report in.
jured his business and his creditors also
began to press him. In short time he
was compelled to make an Assignment.

he could smoke on the platform. Inc
