A SONG OF HER LOVE.

o hills, in glory lean
And battle your brows in light:
. velvet valleys, soft between,
Dream gently to the night;
For she hath said: Il love-" and she
Hath given all that love to me.
o birds, with thrilling throats,
Glad let your music be;
o rivers where the splendor floats,
Flow singing to the sea!
For she hath said; Il love-" and she
Hath made that love crown for me!

The joy that comes apace;
Your roses for her footsteps sweet
Your sunlight for her face!
For she hath said: II love- and she
Hath made that love heaven for me!

The Vacation season.

The general passenger agent OF the
Central Vermont railroad told "A Bos-
ton newspaper man the other day
that tourist travel over the Central
Vermont during the month of june
and the first half Of July was % per
cent heavier than during the same
period last year, and that altogether
the season will be the best in dozen
years. This splendid increase in bust
ness is due, according to Mr.. Cum
mings, to the growing popularity of
Vermont as summer resort State.
Special efforts have been made this
year to attract people in Vermont re-
sorts, and the Boston Office of the road
is credited with having thus early
sent more vacationists and tourists
into the State than during the entire
season of any previous year.
In view of the long season of finan-
cial depression, one would naturally
suppose that many would feel it
necessary to omit their usual summer
vacation this year. The heavy rail-
road travel goes to indicate that econ
omy is being practiced in some other
direction. Furthermore, il is said that
the great bulk of the passengers, in
New England, at least, belong to the
class which is unacquainted with the
art of bond clipping. An observant
conductor on the Boston and Maine
road, which works in close connection
with the Central Vermont, is authori-
~ for the statement that while the
palace car patronage is somewhat
light, vet the ordinary coaches are
crowded with tourists who give evil
dence of belonging in the ranks OF
those who work for living. The
present condition of affairs goes to
show that the need of brief respite
from business or professional life Is
coming TO be very generally recOg-
nized. Certain it is that, if his vaca-
tion is spent in the right way, every
man returns TO his work better equip
ped, mentally as well as physically, to
take part in life's battle. II Is pleas !
