RECONClLED.

"Hive pityl" cried the weeping rose.
''Oh, tear me not from this dear bowerl
Here have dwelt in sun and shower;
Here have grown from bud to flower;
Here let me i'll my bloom repose."
"Wcep not, o rosel'' l whispered low.
'Iil take thee to n heavenly rest.
Upon my sweetheart's swelling breast
THY beauty shall in rapture grow.'
"Im happy" sighed the smiling rose.
Her radiant eyes upon me bend
Her breath and mine in greeting blend
feel the throbbing of her heart.
Oh, never tear us two aparti
Here through life's bloom would rcpose. .

"Auld Lang Syne."

"Auld Lang Syne" is Of uncertain
origin, there being several versions Of
this deservedly popular song. One of
the best is by Burns, but only the sec
ond and third stan2as ale by this poet,
the remainder being from the pen of
Ramsay. The song is Of uncertain an
tiquity. One version is dated 1716. An
other is said to date from the sixteenth
century.

LET THE WEARY WORLD GO ROUND

Let the weary world 60 roundl
What care -
Life's surfeiting of sound;
would die.
1t would be 80 sweet to lie
Under waving grasses
Where a shadow f1eeting by
OF n cloudlet in the sky
Sometimes passes.
Why remain?
Graves are the sheltcring wimples
Against lifes rain;
Graves are the sovran simples
Against life pain:
Graves mothers dimples
When we complain.
o death, beautiful death!
Why do they thee disfguref
To me thy touch, thy breath
Hath nor alarm nor rigor.
Thee do l long await;
think thee very late
pine much to be going.
Others have gone before;
hunger more and more
To know what they are knowing.
Weak heart, be thou content!
Accept thy Punishment.
Like other sorrows, life will end for thee;
Yet for n little while
Bear with this harsh exile,
And death viii soften and will send for thee

CRISIS IN FRENCH AFFAIRS.
Senate Refus es to Do Business Until Min
istry Resigns.

Paris, April 21.-In the Senate today,
M. Demole made an attack upon the
Cabinet and denounced their renal nj ng
in power, after having been defeated In
the Senate, as violation of the consti-
tuition. The Senate, he said,
was willing to vote the Madagascar
credits only to a constitutional ministry.
He proposed that the Senate adjourn till
the ministry should be formed which
possessed the confidence of both houses
Of the French parliament.
Premier Bourgeois protested against
such action. 1t was not the Senate's pre-
gogative, he declared, thus to judge the
ministry; right which belonged to the
national congress alone. The Senate III
to 30, adopted motion to defer the dis
ousslons of the Madagascar credits until a
new ministry was formed. rhe minis
ters left the Senate chamber when the
vote on the motion was announced and
assembled at the foreign office to discuss
the situation.
The radical senators and deputies visit
ed M. Bourguoise and his colleagues, and
urged them to continue the struggle.
Later the ministers went to the palace of
the Elysee to consult with Presid ent
Faure. 1t is believed that they decided
not to resign, but to oonvoke the Cham
ber OF Deputies and demand revision of
the constitution presumably in the di-
reotion of withdrawing the Cabinet from
direct responsibility to the chambers.

vanuS Cobb and othe- min
listers were heard. Rev. Hosea
Ballou, the famous leader, who
was seUtled in Portsmouth from 1909 to
1914, came occasionally. Mr.. Hudson
was engaged for six months at one time.
Mace was an excellent singer and could
sing when there was no choir. Rev.
John Brooks came sometime before Mr..
Streeter. and an attempt was made while
he was here to purchase the Episcopal
church on School, now Pearl, street, but
conditions in the original deed prevented.
After Mr. Brooks's departure the timer
ant system was revived until 1891, when
Rev. Russell Streeter was secured as
pastor, coming from Vermont, where he
had done great work. His first appear

courtesy of the selectmen. He had rel

FIRE IN NEWPORT. VERMO MT.
Two Valuable Blocks Wiped Out By the
Flames,

Newport, VT, April 21.-Early this
morning, Hubbards block and large
block adjoining were burned. The sur

times, but the firemen confined the flames
to the two blocks. The building where
the fire originated is owned by G. J.
Hubbard and in part occupied by him as
boot and shoe mandatory and store.

floor, and the Grand Army hall above.

the Field estate, and occupied by the
post Office. recently fitted up at great
expense, Miss Normandin's millinery
store, armory of the Newport Rifles, G.
ID. Green's undertaker's rooms, and a
large hall. A large part of the goods
were removed and everything belonging
to the post office was saved with most Of
the fittings
The insurance on the building is $4,000.
The rifle company lost their guns and
uniforms which, for the most part, be-
long to the state. Mir. Brady had little.
if any insurance on the post office and
lost over 1000 bushels of barley. His loss
is quite heavy. Mr.. Green was insured
for $500. In many cases the loss Is fully
covered; IN others, it was heavy.
