EYES OF BROWN AND Blue.

Out of the room and into the gloom
Died the music In tremulous sighs.
Fled from the room and faded in gloom
Were the murmureus tones Of low replies.
The laughing lips and cheeks in bloom,
The Macy whirl of fair forms there,
! The measured beat of festive feet
J And fash of white arms bare
All were gone, for the revel was through,
But still 1t seemed my rapturous doom
| To be haunted by eyes of brown and blue.
Blue of the sky that sparkles on high
And expands DER the meadows Of May; :
Blue of the sky that canopies high
The daisied mead ofsblossoming spray;
Thrown of the brook, tine autumn brook,
Upon whose waves thesere leaves look,
Autumn brooks with,a waveless flow,
And scimiter fash of fins'aglow.
And golden dash of sands'below-
Such were the eyes of brown and blue
That haunted me when therevel was through.
In the luminous glare of the street lights
That tinted my room'with q ghostly gray,
In the pallid glare in my chamber there,
Still haunted By eyes, drowsily lay,
AWdltliiS luC DdfA Lutt tOuiu DcaT ne away
The dream manned shallop of sleep
That would bear me over the fathomIess
deep,
With pinions lighte a noiseless flight,
To the land where hopesthe brightest5 are
born,
Across the mystical ocean of night
To the odorous realm of morn.

Verdurous shore with q breath of balm

musingly thought of the revel and dream
And wondered If reyel and dream were one,
If the eyes were myth and did only seem
The eyes of brown and tender blue
That haunted me thus the brief night
through.
A myth All, no! for, ere the glow
OF day again had shimmered and gone,
In the clearest of truth looked upon
Those eyes of azure and shadowy fawn.
oh, eyes of blue. of heavens own hue.
Retain forever your sparkling gracel
oh, eyes of blue, may never the dew
Fall from your depths on a sorrowing face!
And, liquid brown of the autumn brook,
May peaceful soul through your crystals
look
And CLEARLY reflect for many year
All we'll loved forms and faces denrl
And this, oh, eyes of brown and. blue,
Is all the revenge cravo OF you
For witching my slumbers the whole night

(FOr The PreSS.] SOME LATE FLOWERS.

IheIe are two groups which are called by prominence "fall flowers, ," the asters and the golden rods, both composite flow CTS. There are some AS species of aster and 38 species of golden rod native to the United States; about 16 species of aster and F species of golden rod are found in- land in New England. The aster is most easily confused with fieabane. Both are sometimes, but incorrectly, called daisies :; the ox-eye is the only proper ddisy of New England. The rays of feabane are very narrow and very numerous; 50 in some species. The rays of aster are mostly to 20. The colors of the different species range from white through different shades of blue and purple. The stalks vary from about foot to 8 feet high. Leaves us- sually to inches long; in some species heart-shaped; in most lance-shaped.
 The golden rods, with one exception, are yellow, both rays and centre; flowers the size of wheat grain; but in long, somewhat three-sided, and often dropping clusters. Stalks from few inches to 7 feet high, in different species. Usually in waste land or thickets. The earliest species blooms in July.
 The fieabane, of which there are New England species, has one species bloom ing in May, light purple, (robin's plant- ain). Common feabane, rose-purple or flesh color, and daisy fieabane, two species, one white, the other tinged with purple, bloom from June to August. Horse-weed, tall, with very many heads, with short fringe of rays, blooms from July to Octo- Der. The stalks of feabane are very hairy, usually.
 Conspicuous at this season in New Eng land are four native species of wild sun- flower; and near houses the artichoke, European or southern). Stalks to 6

 The Stafford Press displayed little jealousy recently in commenting on the appointment of deputies by Peach Con- missioner J. M. Hubbard. We beg to say that this feeling is uncalled for. MT.

 Why-e-e. we never said so. We only put in feeble word for Talcottville, left out in the cold, and having no Holland County's brightest, newsiest and best" to speak for it. Jealous! not bit of it.. On the contrary, we heartily sympathize with the Rockville newspaper correspond ents who have been complaining that "party unity in'Rockville" was disturbed by one or two offices going to the "rural districts" And how nice the arrange ment to have Rockville and Vernon rat ed as two towns. What a pretty plan for rotation" it offers Is the scheme pa- tented? We have also borough and a town over this way.
 But, seriously, we ain't jealous. We believe in getting the best men for places wherever found. Vernon Gncluding Rock ville) has lots of the best men, and we recognize the vast dimensions of the town and it's rights to expect honors on the well known basis that the strongest men naturally gravitate to the centers, 8 rule, however, which, like every other rule, has it's exceptions.

The roads were free from dust, the air cool and braoing, making perfect day for country drive. A business meeting was called, and an organization formed called the "Kibbe Reunion Asso- ciation," with Allerton c. Kihbe presi- dent and Miss Lizzie L. Kibbe secretary. Also an excaati4e- committee of three was chosen.
 At 3 o'clock q dinner of clam chowder, baked blue fish, roast clans and lobster with their accompaniments was announced for all who had chosen to wait, and a good dinner it was too, and all felt paid for waiting. The afternoon was passed in boating, dancing and visiting in groups.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 23.-In the
case of Frank Blue against the health board
for an injunction against compulsory vac
cination DR.. Clifford, president OF the State
Anti-vaccination Society, testified to-day as
an expert, as did Professor Pickering. from
London, who has been lecturing on anti
vaccination. Professor Pickering said he
would keep smallpox patients in a room
where the temperature was 100 degrees.
The counsel for the Board of Health with
drew the testimony of Secretary Metcalf.
of the State Board Of Health, given yester-
day, and will offer no testimony on the
question of efficacy of vaccination unless
later on they conclude to do SO in rebuttal.
After a long argument Judge White ruled
that the burden of proof is on plaintiff to
show that vaccination is worthless and in
furious instead Of the defendant to show
that 1t is valuable. DIR. w. B. Clarke, of
Indianapolis testified at great length re-
garding vaccination, its worthlesSness as a
safeguard against smallpox and as TO the
Injuries and diseases resulting from it,
After DR.. Clarke'S cross-examina ton DR..

Haute and Muncie coming within their per-
sonal knowledge. The rulings so far have
been strictly against the vaccinationists, in
that they are not allowed TO draw on his
