A MOOD.

All the world is wrapped in shadow;
All my thought is stepped in gray;
Sweet and wanton sadness holds me
And enfolds me,
As the arms of night the day,
Sweet as pulsing of spent music
When the hands have ceased to play.
Der the sense a longing stealeth.
For what cause it may not know;
As when evening groweth tender,
And the splendOr
OF the sunset burncth low,
Ger the land the white mist silent
Stealeth through the atterglow.
Sad as slanting sunlight falling
On the sails Of outbound ships;
Dear rs memory that hOvers
OF a lovers
Kiss on a wOman's lips;
Soft as when a thin cloud mantle
Folds the moon in white eclipse.
So the sense is stepped in longing,
As the world is wrapped in gray:
'TiS so much akin to sorrow
As the morrow
HOldcth thought of yesterday.
Wis, perChancc, the soul immortal
Sad because the heart is clay.

The aigrette is a tuft or graceful
thin feathers taken from a kind OF
heron called egret; and not only are
these poor birds killed expressly tc
furnish ornaments for ladies' bonnets
and hair, but they are killed at the
time when they ought especially tc
be overwhelmingly during the
breeding season. They build their
nests close together, and the feather
hunters look for these breeding places
The best time to attack them Is when
the young birds are fully tiedged but
not yet able to fly, for at that time
the solicitude Of the parent birds is
greatest, and, forgetful of their own
danger, they are most readily made
victims They hover in a crowd over
the heads of their despoilers, their
boldness making it as easy as possible
to shoot them down; and when the
slaughter is finished and the few
handfuls of coveted feathers pluckec
out, the poor birds are left in hear
to tester in the sun in sight of thell
orphaned Young, that cry for food aD(

BOIL 1T DOWN,

Whatever you have to say, my friend.
Whether witty, or grave, or gay,
Condense an much as ever YOU can,
And say it in the readiest way
And whether you write OF rural affairs
Or matter and things in town,
Just take word Of friendly advice,
Boil it down.
IL you go to spluttering over page,
When couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread SO much you see,
That the bread looks plainly through;
30, when you have story to tell.
And would like little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my frien
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To settle your thoughts in the fewest words
And let them be crisp and dry.
And when it is finished, and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again and then
Boil 1T down.
For editors do not like to print
An article lazily long.
And the general -eader does not care
For couple of yarls Of song;
So gather your wits in the smallest space.
If you want little renOwn.
And every time you write. my friend,
Boil it down.
