SOME TIME.



Last night, my darling. as you slept
thought heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept,
And watched space thereby;
And then stopped and kissed your brow,
For oh, love you SO
You are too young to know It now,
But some time you shall know!
Some time when, in q 6arkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon face
Calm IN eternal sleep;
The voiceless lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile shall show
You are too Young to know it now,
But some time youmay know!
Look backward, then. into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, O my darling, how my tears
Are falling as / write,
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
Eugene Field.

ago the Afro American Republican
League Of Pennsylvania. Its object
being 10 unite into one body the entire
Afro American vote Of the state, with
a view to a proper Reorganization IN
public Office and unity among our
selves. We have met with an en-
couraging degree of success and the
benefits are plainly evident to those
who take an active interest in the or
ganiZations. At the last convention
held in Pittsburg, May IS and 49,, IL
thusiastIc reports were received from
the representatives from sixteen coun-
ties of the State and measures were
passed to perfect organizations IN the
remaining counties and enter the ad-
joining States. Since the campaign,
however, little has been done in the
way of organization. Yet we boast OF
membership of 5000 voters.
The need of such an organization
among the negroes is urgent. In fact,
