CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

With summer and sun behind you,
With winter and shade before,
You crowd in your regal splendor
Through the autumn's closing door,
White as the snow that Is coming
Red as the rose that Is gone,
Gold as the heart of the lilies,
Pink as the flush of the dawn.
Confident, winsome, stately,
You throng in the wane OF tho yeag,
Trooping ar army with banners
When the leafless woods are sere
Sweet is your breath as Of spices
From far sea island blown,
Chaste your robes as Of yestals
Trimming their lamps alone.
Strong as your hearts, and sturdy
The life that in root and stem
Smolders and glows till it sparklcs
In each flowery diadem.
Nothing Of bloom and odor
Have your peerless legions lost
Marching in fervid beauty
To challenge the death white frost
So to tho eye OF sorrow
Yc bring o flicker OF light;
The check that was wan with illness
Smiles at your faces bright
The children laugh In greeting,
And the dear old people say:
"Ilere are the selfsame darlings
We loved in our own young day."
AS, summer and sun behind you,
Winter and shade before,
You crowd in your regal splendor
Through the autumn's closing door.

efficient administration of the laws. Gemn-
me economy and frugality can be secured
only by the repeal of statutes authorizing or

refusal to enact new laws creating charges
against the treasury for the purpose of
doubtful utility. and, although such poll
