LOVE IN NTowN.

They had no paintings In the wood,
No meetings In the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood,
Nor watched the sunset after rain.
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the Office stair;
And yet know joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
Be decked with all poetic art?
These dull. gray city walks have
known
The beating of a nations heart.
The weary workers come and go,
The secret of each soul Is dumb;
Yet still at times a radiant glow
Across their wayworn lives may
come.
And these. my happy lovers. knew
Hard toll, small wage and humble
fare;
The skies they saw were never blue.
But love made gladness everywhere.

Was sweet to her as robins song;
Her face that passed the open door,
For him made sunshine all day long.

POISON IVY.
1t Has Caused More Suffering THIS
Year Than Usual.

1t Has Caused More Suffering THIS
Year Than Usual.
The spread Of poison ivy in our
neighborhood has been noted by people
who know the plant and have fallen
into the way of walking or driving
through the suburbs. It is rife in up
per New York, in New. Jersey and on
the outskirts of Brooklyn. 1t is easy
to get rid of while it is young and
small, but ere long it will speed over
many miles of roadside and will be.
hard to eradicate. The plant is not
troublesome to some, and there are
men who handle it without fear Of
consequences, but others are so sensi
tive to it's subtle exhalations that they
cannot even pass to leeward of patch
Of it without suffering afterward. The
poison ivy Is tough looking plant
with leaves growing in threes, cir
cumstance that enables one to tell it
from numerous innocent vines that
have their leaves in fives. It fills some
waste places and makes a pleasant
show with it's greenery, but surely the
English ivy and the clematis and the
WOodDlne look as we'll, and even the
prevalent cat brier, though hard
thing to fight through, will only
scratch, while the ivy will beget in
aammation and boils. 1t Is said that
light complexioned people are more
subject to it's poison than those who
are dark. Men in this state and in
Pennsylvania report a curious expert
ence in an annual recurrence of the I'M
pleasant symptoms, though they are.
sure that they had not touched the.
leaves in the year between the at
lacks. The possibility makes the pois-
on ivy a worse neighbor than ever.
and 1t is suggested that those who
have tolerated the plant on their prem
ises-especially does this apply to the.
street and highway commissioners
should betake themselves to an ak and
hoe and torch and root out the. Offend
ing weed.-Brooklyn Eagle.
