Lyric OF Action.

'Tis the part of a coward to brood
Der the past that Is withered and dead
What though the hearts roses are ashes and
dustf
What though the hearts music be fed
Sgill shine the grand heavens o'erhead
Whence the voice OF an angel thrills clear on
the soul,
"GiTd about thee thine armor, press on to the
goa !"
II the faults or the crimes Of Thy youth
Are burden too heavy 10 bear,
What hope can re-bloom on the desolate waste
or jealous and craven despair
Down, down with the letters OF fear
In the strength Of Thy valor and manhood
With the faith that lllumes and the win that
dehes.
"Too later through Gods Infinite world,
From bis throne 70 lifefs nefhermost fires,
"1oo iatsr' Is q phantom that flies at the dawn
Ola soul that repents and aspires.
II pure thou hast made thy desires,
There's no height the strong wings OF immor-
tails may gain,
Which in striving 70 reach thou shalt strive
for In vain.
Then, up to the contest with fate,
Unbound by the past, which Is dead
What though the hearts roses are ashes and
dustf
What though The hearts music be fiedf
Sill shine the fair heavens 0'erhead,
Aud sublime as the seraph who rules In the
sun
Beams the promise Of Joy when the conflict is
won.

that IL viii pass, unlsss tie people
put their protests before their sen
ntors. The situation Is well told In
a special dispatch TO the Chicago
Tribune:
Representatives Of the Nicara-
qua canal who are here have not
given up hope Of Legislation at The
present session of congress. New
ertheless they know that there Is
weIl-organized opposition. Many
of the southern members, among
them Gen. Catchings Of Mississippi
favor the bill. Others are bitterly
hostile, while certain railroad inter-
esis are also against this govern
ment enterprise. It now seems
probable that the opponents Of the
bill In the house Of representatives
will strive To prevent It's psssage by
this congress despite the fact that y
majority OF that body is in favor Of
it.
"A prominent Democrat said
yesterday that he would filibuster
against any action on tho bill till
he fell from exhaustion. He has
no antagonism 10 the canal, but he
believes that there is no constitu-
tional ground whereby the United
States can become responsible for
the bonds ol a private corporation,
every cent of which may have 10
come out of the pockets OF the peo-
pie. He takes the ground that if
the project should prove a success
the government would have nothing
10 gain financially, while If il
should prove a failure, the United
States would have everything TO
lose"
This is the right ground. and un-
less the bill is hurried through with
out debate we do not believe ii oan
pass. In the meantime write to
your congressman 10 vote against
this subsidY.-Home & Farm.

AL visitors 10 the world'a fair win
doubtless want TO inspect the Iriah VII
lage which Ii being arranged under the
auspices of sho countess Of Aberdeen
and Mrs. Ernest Hart. The latter gives
tha following outline Of what II viii
contain:
"We shall have seven cottages In
which peasant girls and lads from
Donegal and elsewhere win be seen at
work. weaving, spinning. dyeing,
sprigging, carving, etc. The girls win
look very pretty In Connemarn red pet
ticoats, hshwife skirta and blouses, and
scarlet cloaks. In the frat cottage will
be . precise model of cottage in Done
gal, with undrcssed walls of granite,
with hooded fireplace and dresser full
Of bright crockery; girl win be seen
dyeing and spinning our famous Hand
and-Heath homespuns, the wool OF which
she gets from the lichens and heather
Of her native bog outside. There win
be an imitation peat Gre, and on this
the dyer win from time 20 time place
her iron potato-pot, and proceed 70 dye
the wool. This operation Is certain to
prove immensely attractive to sight
seers, and, as well as the carding, spin
ming and bobbin-flling. which win be
shown here, Is an extremely interesting
process
I'm the second cottage there will be
linen weaving and embroidering Of the
famous Kells art embroidery; whilst
linen damask weaving on jacquard
handloom and fringe-knotting win go
on In the third cottage. Between this
and the next cottage there win be 8
model dairy. In which dairy maids will
be at work churning and butter-mal-
Ing. / can assure our American cous-
ina they win have o chance Of some
good butter, rs we shall send over some
of the world-famed Kerry cows, which
viii be stabbed at the rear. There win
Also be pleasant. cool spot here where
visitors can rest and drink iced milk.
I'm the fourth cottage, which Is un-
der the especial care of the Irish Indus
tries association. every description Of
Irish lace viii be shown. There will
be Limerick lace worker at therframe,
the Torchon lace worker at the pillow,
the numerous varieties Of point lace,
and 20 forth.
"Sprigging and veining. which are
employed In the production OF the beau
tiful hemstitched handkcrchiefs Of Bel
fast, win be shown In the next cottage.
The girls of Down are especially noted
for their exquisite and delicate work.
We have not quite definitely decided
about the two remaining cottages. but
we shall probably show In the seventh
the wood-cArving industry In Ireland,
which has reached 8 really remarkable
degree of development when one re-
members the workers and teachers are
peasant lads. You should see the set
OF owls carved By some of my own boys
for Lady Aberdeen last year The ex-
preston of the owls faces, as well as
khe execution. was excellent Other
features of our Irish industrial village
viii be replica of Donegal castle, an
old well and other interesting Celtic
memorials I believe the Irish village
win be successful; we shall certainly do
our best to make Il so"

Where the portrsis on the wall
Btlrs and struggles as to speak,
Where fhe light breath from the hall
Calls the color to the cheek,
Where the voloe breaks In the hymn,
Where the sunset burneth dim,
Where the late large tear win start,
Frozen by the broken heart,
Where the lesson Is to learn
How to live, 10 grleve. 10 yearn,
How 10 bear, and how 20 bow,
Oh. the Christmas that Is fed
lord OF living and Of dead,
Comfort Thou
