Tho Poet Makes Many References to Beau
tifuI blossoms In His Works.
Tennyson speaks of "a skin as clean
and white as privet when it flowers, y
and truly the priyet, with its prim
leaves and small, white flowers, looks
like very Puritan for neatness and
simplicity. References to the flowers of
our gardens, of course, abound, and
many will occur at once to the Tenny
son reader The rose and the lily play
more than commonplace part in
MAUD, I" where indeed all the flowers
are interested spectators of the drama.
Passages such as
A walk of roses ran from door to door,
A walk OF lilies crossed it to the bower,
from the ''Idylls," might have been
written by many others, and bell flow
ers, though we may be grateful to Ten
nyson for preserving the old fashioned
name Canterbury bells, !" are easily
paralleled from many poets. Perhaps
the beautiful line, Love, like an Alpine
harebell, hung with tears, f" deserves an
especial mention. He has written a
poem to the snowdrop, which is styled
February Fair Maid" and it forms a
fitting part of his picture of est. Agnes
Eve which, as w. E. Henley has
pointed out, is SO dazzlingly pure in its
whiteness and a contrast to Keats bril-
liantly coiored poem on the same sub-
ject.
OF the early spring, with its violets
primroses and crocuses, our poet is never
tired and has avowed his especial love
for April. being an Elizabethan in this,
as in many other things, so that it is
surprising to find comparatively little
mention of the daffodil. 1t is hardly to
be found anywhere, except in Maud"
and the ''Sonnet to the Nineteenth Gen.
tury, +" "Here in this roaming moon of
daffodil and crocus. " Perchance Tenny-
son felt that it had been so fully cele-
brated elsewhere as to become hackneyed
in spite of all its beauty. Good Words.

FAIR AND HIS woRKMEN.

The NillionRire Miners Free aud Easy
Way OF Getting Information.
Senator Fair was rarely known to dis
charge a miner. A parent could not
have been kinder to them. Smoking
was forbidden in the mines. Fair had
free and easy way of dropping down the
shafts at unexpected hours and making
himself agreeable. One night he smelled
tobacco smoke in crosscut. Smiling
and paternal, the senator seated himself
ON chunk of ore and chatted with his
boys. Dear me, he said presently.

A body of rich ore was struck in

necessary to hide the news from the

his flannel shirt and oilskin hat, sat
down with the resting miners in the
drift and picking piece of rock from

There was murmur of respectful as

Miner johnson, who was acquainted
with Fairs ways. examined the rock
critically, shook his head and said it

the same. Miner Murphy, comparative

WHAT is POETRY,
II Is Music In the Cathedral Of the Human
Heart.


Heart.
Poetry is music in the cathedral of
the heart Deep in the human breast
there towers noble structure. 1t stands
apart from the beaten paths of the mind
in a silent, hidden valley. The ordinary
thoughts and passions hurry past the
portal and know it not They have not
learned the "open sesame. Ego him
self, ruler of the kingdom of the intel
lect, does not know the sacred spot. 1t
is the mission of his life to find it, aud
having once found it he cannot remem-
Der the route by which he journeyed.
He cannot return to it at will. Fate
guards the way and rarely grants an en-
trance, yet every man at some time Of
his life happens upon it. aud the fortu-
nate reach it often. Though they are
blindfolded by the way, their eager feet
learn to tread the labyrinth. They are
the poets of mankind, whose fancy gives
sight to their feet.
AT some unexpected moment fair
guide points the way, tho doors swing
open, and man enters the cathedral Ct
his heart. Sometimes it is strain of
music of searching, thrilling sweetness
that points the way Sometimes it is a
royal sunset. Sometimes it is rapt and
self forgetting prayer. Sometimes it is
the hand of love, but oftenest it is gaunt
sorrow. 1t is a stately temple. Its dome
is as broad as the heavens, toward which
the many fingered spires point. Its win
dows make Of each sunbeam a rainbow.
It's aisles are silent Its priest is peace.
With hushed heart and reverential step
man enters and is at rest. All that is
material of him he leaves behind. Quiet
and beauty possess his soul, and he floats
in an inspiring dream. He listens, and
now for the first time falls on his in
tent ear an occasional note in the har-
mony of tho universe.
Half lost in distance, he hears the
chorus of the morning stars, the birds.
the waterfall, the trees. He feels a
beauty and a purpose in the universe
the mind cannot conceive. He feels
above, about, within him a majestic
kingdom to which his soul is kin. AL
most he grasps the secret of creation.
For one swift instant exaltation draws
aside the dark, impenetrable curtain
that has led skeptic man. There is the
end" He sees beyond marvel too
great for his still human mind. 1t passes.
but it leaves with him awe, peace, hope.
He feels that somewhere there is a ce-
lestial key that makes of the puzzle of
life kingdom where all is harmony,
perfection, satisfaction. The great organ
of his soul, tuned into speech blythe
master hand of beauty, bursts into mel
ody.
And this is poetry. Exchange.

When choosing eggs, apply the tongue

feels warm it may be relied on as being
fresh. Another mode of ascertainiDg the

The Narrow View.

We are surprised TO see that Rev. DIT
]. William Jones and some other eX-Con-
federates have protested against the pro
position to establish a national park al
AppomattOx. on the ground that they
do not wish to perpetuate the memory OF
the SOuth's defeat.
This is indeed far-fetched. In that view
of the case every soldiers monument in
the South is a monument TO lost cause
and every tombstone in Hollywood !;
erected TO keep in memory the sad dealt
of a departed relative
But that is not the correct view. Our
soldiers monuments are erected to com
memorate the daring and heroism and
patriotism of those who fell In the Lost
Cause-qualities that were as surely eX
emplifed in defeat as In triumph.
The park which II is proposed to open
at AppOmattoX is not meant to immor-
talize the South's defeat. but to keep in
sacred remembrance the closing SC ne
of a great struggle in which both the
South and the North took part. 1t VIII
commemorate the acts of the southern sol
der as surely as II does those Of HI,
northern brother, and therefore 1t must
as surely glorify the herOism Of the one
as OF the other.
Let us not take a narrow, partisan View.
This is not to be a sectional work, but the
work Of the nation. and II must be a
monument to the greatness and goodness
of its fallen sons.
