THE social evil in New York has
been so disseminated by DR.. Park
hurst, whose efforts have driven it
from its customary abodes and scattered
lin the more reputable parts of that city,
so that it now elbows pure and respec :
able girls, that an association has been
organized there, the object of which is
to confne it to prescribed limits and
to license it and subject it to sanitary
inspection. To do evil that good may
come may be wise, but to do evil that
worse evil may come, is the act OF a
preordained and predestinated fool.
and that is the most charitable thing
that can with truth be said of DIR. Park

Love called to young man winningly,
Come, Join the ranks Of my company,
And take the field in my SERVICE"
But the young man said: 'There are other
things
Than bushes and kisses and flowers and rings.
OF far more worth than your service.
''There's business and sport and pleasure and
art;
Your war is mere folly, your weapon dart;
I've no time to spare for your service"
Love turned lightly away when he heard the
rebuff;
OF young volunteers there were more than
enough
To fill up the ranks of his service.
But time, passing by, madc clear to the man
That they are the wisest VINO join when they
e can
The worshipful ranks of Loves service.
So he offered to Love his Jewels and coin;
Forgetting his age, he thought he would join
The throng who pressed to Loves service.
But Love answered lightly: ''The day has gone
by;
A sere autumn leaf is too old and too dry
For garland worn in my service.
"You can buy, II you like, a friendly regard.
And perhaps it may seem, II you try very hard,
As II you were in my service.
"But the raw recruits for my household guard
l take from the young; the older are debarred
From taking the oaths of my service.
1.-THE countersign's Youth Can you give it,"
"Ah, no."
"Then right about face. You're too old and
too slow
To learn the details of my service"

When Jim died, all tn Majors came from fur

Seemed to settle DER their eyes, fer seen tn
A-tricklin down their chseks-maybe tn fust

When Jim died.
When Jim died, tn birds stopped singin in tn

Fer they missed him, you know. an tn golden

1t would kiss his bare, brown feet no more, an

An the killdee in tn twilight near tn fen
Seemed ever to be calm that he'd never come
When Jim died.
Jim was a curious chap-not like other boys;
He had his own way o. takin life, with Its Joys
An sorrows; he loved birds an flowers, an III bet
He never much as trod on timid violet
That peeped shyly thro' tn grass. Like music
of a flute,
The birds sang to him, but their voices now are
mute
Since Jim died.
Since Jim died pears like to me mother amt so
spry
AS she used to be; there's sadness in her eye
An voice that sort O. cuts me to tn heart, fer
Jim
Had allus been her pet sence he was born; she

Better than the rest-he was her boy; she don't
complain,
Mother don't, but then she's never been tn

Trust the Children.


Trust the children! Never doubt them!
Build wall of love about them.
After sowing seeds Of duty,
Trust them for the flowers Of beauty.
Trust the children! Don't suspect theml
Let your confidence direct them.
At the hearth or In the wildwood
Meet them on the plane Of childhood.
Trust the little ones! Remember,
May is not like chill December.
Let not words Of rage or madness
Check their happy notes Of gladness.
Trust the little onesl Yet guide theml
And, above all, ne'er deride them
Should they trip or should they blundcT,
Lest you snap loves cords asunder.
Trust the childrenl Let them treasure
Mothers faith in boundless measure.
Fathers love in them conf1ding,
Then no secrets they'll be hiding.
Trust the children just as He did,
Who for "such" once sweetly pleaded.
Trust and guide, but never doubt them.
Build wall of love about them.
