We Asked Consent.

We asked consent, my love and l,
All in the early morning,
A golden promise lit the sky,
The dewy earth adjoining,
The day was just beginning.
The hour Of all for winning:
But the old man lifted up his head
And scanned the sky and briefly said:
"'Tis nae the time for coOrun';
Nay, nay?" said he.
We asked consent, my love and /;
The maiden moon was slender,
A starry mist rained down the sky,
And the eve was new and tender;
The mother she lay sleeping
Where stars their watch were keeping
The old man sighed and bowed his head
"She's but a baiTn-the child" he said,
But life's ae short for lovin';
Ay, ay" said he.

Not Cutie Yet.

That woman is rising no one can deny
Who watches events of the years passing
by;
As the doctor and lawyer she doses and
pleads,
She writes books and pamphlets which
every one reads.
She holds her conventions Of plot and OF
plan;
But she never will be quite the equal Of
man
Till she quits shedding tears in stormy
debate.
And ceases opponents as mean things
TO rate.

They Can't Appreciate the Fin dc Steele
 Poet, Stephen Crane.

Stephen Crane is a melancholy ap- bearing young man who writes melan- choly appearing lines. In the minds of Esome persons, among them Mir Crane and his publishers, it is presumed that latent genius seems to nestle i'll those lines. To tlle cold, unfeeling rabble, which needs to know what words mean to understand or enjoy them, those lines are of the most enfeebled grade of twad- de.
 Yet his verse--and it has been called verse-has not been written in vain. It has aroused pity for the writer in tender hearts, which know that brain troubles are often brought on by overwork, and human sympathy is ever responsive to the plaints of him who wears out in the harness. The Philistine has said that what we are coming to in poetry is like bicycling in the dark on strange road. In the case of Stephen Crane it is not precisely so. We can see the madheuse towering up in the gloom
 Daring literary masters and submas ters have initiated these spasms The poet of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga zette pays his respects to the author of ssThe Black Riders' in these onomato- poetic lines:

 Pursuing pig.
 Round and round they went.

 Stephen should acknowledge himself outdone.
