In twelve States at least there will
be important elections to take place on

These states are Kentucky, Kansas,
Mississippi, Massachusetts,, Ohio, Iowa

An ApostrOphe to Niagara.

Suggested while standing at Termination Rock
This is Jehovah's fullest organ strain
hear the liquid music rolling, breaking
From the gigantic pipes the great refrain
Burst on my ravished ear, high thoughts awaking.
The low sub-base. uprising from the deep,
Swells the great pecan as it rolls supernal-
Anon, 1 hear, at one majestic sweep,
The diapason of the keys eternal
Standing beneath Niagara's angry flood
The laundering cataract above me bounding
] hear the echo, man. there is a God r.
From the great arches of the gorge resoundingI
Behold o man nor shrink aghast in fear
Survey the vortex boiling deep before thee
The Hand that Cpd the liquid gateway here
Hath set the beauteous Bow of promise ov'r thee
Here, in the hollow of that Mighty Hand,
Which holds the basin of the tidal ocean,
Let not the jarring of the spray-washed strand
Disturb the orisons of pure devotion.
Rail on, Niagara great River King!
Beneath thy sceptre all earth's rulers. mortal,
Bow reverently; and bards shall ever sing
The matchleSs grandeur of thy peerless portal
hear, Niagara in this grand strain,
His voice, who speaks in flood, in flame thunder
Forever may'st thou, singing, roll and reign
Earths grand, sublime, supreme, supernatural
wonder. B. FRANK PALMER.

An Educational Centre.

The Public Ledger of the I'd, editori-
ally refers to Philadelphia as an educa-
tional centre and shows how richly the
city is endowed with private institu-
tions, among others for professional
and business training. In the same
issue, describing prominent institutions
of learning, it states that Philadelphians
should feel proud of the Peirce School
which is regarded everywhere as a
representative business school; holding
the highest American ideas in business
training. Its courses are based ON the
belief that there can be no effective
business skill not coupled with a good
English education. The wisdom of this
belief is proven by the successful careers
of many graduates. 1t instructs both
sexes. Many far.sighted parents send
their daughters there to get business
training, to enable them to be self-sup-
porting in case of need; to manage
their property interests should it ever
be necessary, and for the disciplinary
value of such training.
