OF heaven or hell 1 have no power to sing.
cannot ease the burden of your fears.
or make qa~ict-eoming death a little thing,
OF bring again the, pleasures OF past years.
Nor for my word shall We forget your tears.
Or hope again for aught that 1 can say
The idle singer OF an empty day
But rather, when aweary of your mirth.
From full hearts still unsatisned we sigh,
And feeling kindly unto all the earth.
Grudge every minute as 1t passes by,
Mace the more mindful that the sweet days
Remember me a little then. I pray.
The idle singer of an empty day.
The heavy trouble, the bewildering care
That weigh us down who live and earn our
bread.
These Idle verses have no power to bear:
So let me sing of names remembered.
Because they, living not, can ne'er be dead,
Or long time take their memory quite away
From US poor singers of an empty day.
Dreamer of dreams. born out of my due time,
Why should l strive to set the crooked straight?
Let 1t suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,
Telling a tale not too fmportunate
To those who in the sleepy region stay,
Lulled by the singer of an empty day.
Folks say a wizard to a northern king
AT Christmas-tide such wondrous things did
show
That through one window men beheld the spring,
And through another saw the summer glow,
And through a third the fruited vines arrow,
While still unheard. but In it's wonted way,
Piped the drear wind of that December day.
So with this Earthly Paradise it is,
If ye will read Alright, and pardon me,
Who strive to build a shadowy isle of bliss
Midmost the beating of the steeIy sea,
Where tossed about all hearts of men must be:
ravening monsters mighty men shall Stay,
Not the poor singer of an empty day.

How n Letter May BE Recalled.

DOSlOH IIdIISCIiPt.
The public is not as familiar with It's
privileges about postal matters as might be
supposed. Many times people would like TO
recall a letter after it has been mailed.
This can be done. even ii The letter has
reached the postofice of its destination.
AT every Dostoffice there are what are
called withdrawal blanks. On applica-
ton they Will be furnished, and when a de-
post Is made to cover the expense, the
postmaster will telegraph to the ~postmaste
at the letters destination, asking that 1t
be promptly returned. The applicant first
signs this agreement: 1T is hereby agreed
that if the letter rs returned TO me i viii

against you for such return, and Will fully

The Quiet Port.

There lies a quiet port across the sea
Where the proud sail is furled,
Where the bright banner flares and faunts nc
more
That once waved round the world.
There the brave ships that steered for other
shores,
That fought the bitter blast,
And dared the unknown straits, the frost-hung
bays,
Find harborage at last.
And those white barques that sought the isles Of
dream,
The lands of loves report.
They too. though steering gladly other where,
Have found the quiet port.
There the dark night comes down around them,
there
The weary captains rest,
The homesick voyager bows down his head,
The sage forgets his quest.
But yet, ah, even while We fall on sleep,
We are content to wait;
Comrades. the land of our desire is near,
This port is but it's gate.

Yet a little while.
Fortune, but to hide her frown

Dirlmed with tears and dropping down,
Lightly passes by.

Soon her eyes will light.

Books.

Nothing that man has wrought is worth his
books,
Those written records of his faiths and creeds,
immortal relics of his living needs.
Flowing in freedom like unhampered brooks.
Serted like soldiers in their tranquil hooks
They seem dust-bound in death; yet whose heeds
The life within them, life that burns and bleeds,
VIII learn how Time, the thief and maker, looks.
For man has written all himself in these,
His dreams. his hopes, his loves, his cruel hates;
Here are the wine of passion and the lees,
Here are the persisted glories of his states;
And here, a weary pilgrim on his knees,
He prays before the Futures golden gates.

But now, so many years have flown
Since from my fearful gaze she passed
How shall l, in the great unknown,
Where all is new and strange and vast
How shall L there reclaim my own?

A state of peculiar mental exaItation is
often the prologue to the great psychical
tragedies Of life, and though Brownrigg
knew nothing about 1t, such a tragedy
was even now being prepared for him. His
connection with the Piccadiliy Review
meant moro to him than literary success;
1t brought also some social advancement.
Gibson combined a g-ood-humored contempt
for Brownrigg's character with a sub
dued admiration of his talents. and he had
drawn him INTO his own set, among whom
the callow youth posed in an engaging
manner as the spoiled child of literature.
He appealed irresistibly TO the soft side of
society; he was as sensitive and impress
sionable as a woman and had a charming
way of blushing at Little compliments like

An Election Decision.

In the case Of Symms vs.. Daniels,
the Supreme court has handed down the
following opinion:
"Where political party in a county
divides into opposing factions, and each
faction holds convention composed Of
a large number Of delegates, and NOM
mates full set Of candidates for offices
to be filed by the voters of the county,
the county officers whose duty it is to
consider objections to certificates Of
nomination, and nomination papers, have
no power or authority to determine which
OF the two opposing factions is the true
representative Of the party, nor to ex-
clude the candidates of either faction
from the official ballot after the NOM
ination of it's candidates has been duly
and regularly certified to the County
Clerk in manner pointed out by the
statute.
"The officers 80 designated for the
consideration Of such objections have no
power to consider and enforce written
agreements made by the candidates and
committees Of opposing factions Of o
political party providing for the settle
ment Of their differences, and for a
determination Of the question as to which
set Of candidates is entitled to place on
the official ballot, and to the use Of the
party name. Agreements Of candidates,
even though in writing, to withdraw on
the happening Of q certain event or con-
tingenoy, cannot be considered or enforced
by such special tribunals"
