Mrs. Squires, hearing of the girls condition, sent for MT. Mingea, and together they acted promptly in placing her beyond the possibility of brutal treat ment.

 A Tribute to Eugene Field. Shine on, clear calm stars, in your mys-
 tic light
 Move on, pale moon, so wan and white; Blossom, oh! earth, with verdure and
 bloom,
 And wreathe with beauty the poets
 tomb;
 Let fairy fingers bright chaplets twne, While children deck the hallowed shrine. The beautiful flowers, so fair and bright, That smiled in the summers golden
 light,
 Are types of the thoughts his soul gave
 birth,
 And they brighter seem for his stay on
 earth.
 But the childrens friend-the friend of
 youth
 Is gone like beautiful dream of truth. And a mournful silence broods above The fair young flowers he used to love; While little children softly tread, And feel that the light of earth has fled. Like the glory that gladdens the summer
 day
 This beautiful life has passed away.
