THE VOICES.

Down in the night I hear them:
The voices, unknown. unguessed,
That whisper. and lisp, and murmur,
And will not let me rest.
Voices that seem to question.
IN unknown words, of me,
OF fabulous ventures. and hopes and
dreams
Of this and the world to be.
Voices OF mirth and music,
AS in sumptuous homes: and sounds
OF mourning, as of gathering friends
In country burial grounds.
Cadence of maiden voices,
Their lovers blent with these;
And of little children singing,
AS under orchard trees.
And often. up from the chaos
OF my deepest dreams, / hear
Sounds of their phantom laughter.
Filling the atmosphere.
They call to me from the darkness,
They cry 10 me from the gloom.
Till i start sometimes from my pillow
And peer through the haunted room.
When the face of the moon at the window
Wears pallor like my own.
And seems to be listening with me
To the low mysterious tone.
The low mysterious clamor
OF voices, that seem to be
Striving in vain to whisper
OF secret things TO me;
OF something dread TO be warned Of:
OF rapture yet withheld;
Or hints of the marvellous beauty
OF songs unsyllabled.
But ever and ever the meaning
Falter and fails and dies
And only the silence quavers
With the sorrow of my signs.
And I answer: o voices, We may not
Maze me 10 understand.
TiilIny own voice. mingling with you,
laughs in the Shadowland.
James WhitComb Riley.

During the evening a great big, red-faced.
perspiring man came up and asked her to
dance. He wore no gloves. She looked at
his well meaning but moist hands despair

of her waist. She hesitated bit, and then
she said. with a winning smile:
"Of course, I'll dance with you. BUT II
you don't mind, won't you please use your
handkerchief"
The man looked at her blanlIly a moment
or two. Then a light broke over his face.
why, certainly" he said.
And he pulled out his handkerchief and
blew his nose.

SHE'LL WISH SHE WASN'T NEW

When her duty's manifolded.
And her hours of ease are few,
VIII a change come DER the spirit
OF the woman who is new
When she's drawn upon jury,
or is drafted for the wars.
VIII she like her freedom" better
Than the chains" she now abhors?
When she's running for an Office
And gets left and has the blues,
Won't she wish that she was back In
The oppressed old woman's shoes?
When the ship OF state she's steering
Mid a storm of mad abuse.
Won't she wish that for the ballot
She'd ne'er thought she had a use?
When she finds that she is treated
Like man" q. tho she's longed
For Just that. won't she he tempted
Oftentimes 70 think she's wronged?
When no man eer gives his seat up
In a car. or deigns 10 hold
Her umbrella when it's raining.
Won't she wish that she was "old?'
Won't she think the men Just horrid,"
Left 10 hustle for herself.
Where she's looked on as "A rival
In the race for power and pelff
When mans reverence no longer
Is accorded as her due,
When he treats her az a brother,
She'n be sorry that she's new,
