veal was Florence-Florence Nightfu~
gale. He was named bya poetic lady
from Paris, aged 6s years, and hadn't
the heart to change his name, for she
was Of o sensitive nature and a tribe
over three feet in diameter. Living In
Paris, she Knew very little OF the
world.
We missed Florence q good deal after
his death, for he loved us all, and to see
him toss of few dlshpanfuls OF new
milk and then walk around in the pans
would please anybody who did not own
the pans. He was ever full OF lie
that is, up TO the time we killed him.
He had light ring to his Forepaugh
bleat and a heavier one In his nose.
He got into the pound IL times one
summer aud violated two ordinances
and a statute before anybody dared put
a hand on him.
Every time he got IN the pound II cost

You are mistaken, brother; we are

"tenting on the OLD camp-ground,"
the procession moved on and left you
with your tent pitched in the grave

your tent and move ON, my brother;

the help and comfort l can give you

are coming in since the city election,
it would seem that something HAS
moved, and that the women moved
it.

REGRET.

There is a haunting phantom called Regret,
shadowy creature robed somewhat like Woe,
But fairer in the face, whom all men know
By her sad mien, and eyes forever wet.
No heart would seek her but once having met
All take her by the hand, and to and fro
They wander through those paths of long ago
Those haowed ways 'twere wiser to forget.
One day she led me to that lost lands gate
And babe enter but answered "No!
will pass with my bold comrade Fate;
I have no tears to waste on thee-no time
Ny strength hoard for heights hope to climb,
No friend art thou. for souls that would be great"

and | think she has pretty good
"ederfication. She may not know
how to "bribe kongress or buy q
hull legislator, but she knows you
can't save this nation by the vote of
the men alone, for it has been tried,
over and over again, and many of
them you can't get sober long
enough to know how they are vot-
ing.
You say she doesn't know how
liberty came. How SHOULD she
know, when she has never been free!
How many of our voters know what
issues are before the people? How
many of them are voting for the
best interests of "Mollie and the
babies? How many are voting
straight party ticket just because
their fathers and grandfathers voted
that ticket? How many do you
meet every day who would know
their own party platform if the head
were torn from it
Now, my friend, you go to Nancy
and say, See here, my dear; come,
let US reason together"-and then
you listen part of the time let her
do part of the talking, and think
you will find her very reasonable.
l know it is hard to give up our old
ideas, but you always seemed to me
to be a remarkably-intelligent man,
very apt in history, and l would
suggest that you get your United
States history down and see what it
really was that caused the "Resolu-
summary" war. Then take the his
tory of the woman suffrage move
ment, and see how patiently the
women have worked, and all the
time being classed with paupers,
idiots and criminals; and they see
their loved ones being swept away,
100, 900 every year, and are power
less to stop it. Think this over, for
l believe with you in the elevation
of woman by education, and also
believe that what will elevate women
will also elevate men; and / think
the ballot a grand means of educa-
ton.
Now, talk with Nancy, and write
me the result
Your friend,

A DISAGREEMENT.

Did somebody say the sunshine
Was flooding the world to-day
Did somebody say there were roses
Abloom on the worlds highway?
Did somebody sing of the gladness
Filling this earth of ours
In the time of summer and sweetness
In the time of birds and flowers
It was all mistake, my darling;
The sunshine has gone away;
There is thunder off in the distance,
There are clouds on the wretched day.
Not even the ghost Of pleasure
Surveys the withered flowers;
The gloomiest place under heaven
Is this weary earth of ours.
Did somebody whisper, Patience
The clounds will be rifted SOON
Did somebody hint of music
Why, the hearts are out of tune.
Yet there are pipers calling
That the clouds will pass away
For love than wrath is stronger,
And love is king to-day. -Ha
