Brain flbred all for poesy in this

Brain fibred all for poesy in this
Slow humdrum age of science, work he would
Creating noble forms which he could
Bestow worth immortal Granite, gneiss
And sandstone of the mind all gave him bliss
Inspired with soul of beauty, brotherhood;
Then consciously, yet modestly, he stood
EnlarGing right and joy that none need miss.
Wrought by his glowing faculties manifold,
Old ruins changed to homes for singing birds;
Sleerers of old romance new life began:
The glories of the future were unrolled:
Fair women, dead, again spoke golden words,
And songs were born to cheer the perfect man.

"Afactabout your professional vagrant
or tramp is that they never want to go
back to the place from where they were
sent" says a p~enitentiary superintendent.
For instance, If one is vent in from along
the ~Susquehanna road, On his discharge
he usually requests to be sent north. east
or south, or any direction that will take
MIN away from that in which he was ap
pretended.
Only the other day u tramp sent from
Otsego begged to be sent to Hudson. He
begged SC hard that l gave him q ticket to
Hudson. The next day he was back again.
They pulled me as soon as ! stepped from
the train,' he said. County officers. you
see, are always or the lookout for tramps
because Of the mileage received for bring
ing them here. Work! No. they wouldn't
show any inclination or desire for work if
they had to lay in the ~penitentiary for
months. But we compel them to earn
their keep, very much to their disgust.

Like Mothers Cooking.

An enterprising baker advertises
..mince pies like mother used to make"
There is something queer about the idea
that ones mother could cook better than
any other woman who ever lived. Each
generation Of men, when they reach mid
die life. lauds mothers cooking. and
compares it with his wife's cooking to
her disadvantage. When that mans
boy gets a wife Of his own he tells her
what a good cook his mother was. and
80 it goes generation after generation.
Now. according to this theory, the art
of cooking has been steadily deteriorat-
ing, but of course this is not true. Won
der if a boys appetite has not something
to do with the idea that his mother was
the best cook the world ever saw?-St.
