Thou wouldst Still Be Adored.


Believe me- If all those endearing young
charms
Which gaze on so fondly today
We're to change by tomorrow and fleet in my
arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment
thou art.
Let thy loveliness fade as 1t will,
And around the dear ruin each wish Of my
heart
Would intwine itself verdantly still
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own
And thy cheeks unprofaned by tear
That the fervor and faith Of soul can be
known,
To which time will but make thee more
dear
No, the heart that has truly loved never for,
gets,
But as truly loves on to the close.
As the suntiower turns on her god, when he
sets,
The same look which she turned when he
rose.

Old Are to Cupid,

No tender green new spring there will find.
Boy, bend on me no more your golden bow.
Let the young lover vital deem his fame
And pale AM. glow contented i'll my stead,
Finding more precious far than gain or fame
That eyes be blue and hair white filleted.
To him let come the vagrant tender pain
OF watching love grow in q maiden heart.

Boy. sheathe your arrow, sheathe your gilded
dart.
For now have so shaken hands with life
That TO its lures lift but level eyes.
No more for mo loves tears and hapless strife,
Its restless fears and blisses of surprise
Aye. sheathe your shaft. boy. No more win
lie
Wide eyed at sleeps shut gate because love
guiles,
Nor tread the pleasing maze where pulse beats
But heartbreak trembles in the train Of
smiles.
For now the calm sweet quietude Of age
The warmth Of MINDLESS sunlight and the
glow
OF peaceful dusks-comes as Just heritage.
Boy. bend on me no more your golden bow.

GEMS IN VERSE.


A Protest.
Away with the hate of the idle rich
And the fear of the ruling fewl
The world is ours to make or mar;
The work is ours to do.
Shall we, who are million men,
Cry out against scorer
Shall we, who take all we can gain.
Blame him who taketh moref
Let US remember in our scorn,
OF this sad truth be sure
That the selfish heart of the rich man trades
On the selfish heart Of the poorl
No blame to us, no blame to him.
No time to waste on scorn,
But need to work for the blessed day
That sees the new world born.

Jim's Circus.

Jim was drunkard. and Jane was his wife,
With their children three, wretched life
They lived in poverty. turmoil and strife
In poor little hut as you might pass,
With broken gate, and no flowers or grass,
And rags in the windows instead Of glass.
The bed was straw and the coverlet torn;
The stove was rusty--a cover gone
And chairs and table battered and worn.
The bread was brown, and the coffee was black;
OF meat there was always need and lack.
And meal and flour were scant in tho sack.
Jane had hardly decent gown,
And Jim's old hat had hole in the crown,
While the childrens shoes were tho worst in
town.
But Jim came home one night in glee.
ga circus Is coming to town, said he,
Sand. Jane, you must take the children threel
GIVE earned the money today" he cries.
While Jane looked up with mute SURPRISE
A smile on her lips, but tears In her eyes.
Then she bestirred herself with will
And mended their frocks with patient skill.
At her task the midnight found her still.
From her Oldest gown she made aprons new
And washed some faded ribbons blue
For their braided locks Of faxen hue.
Then she combed her hair as she used when
girl,
With here and there ringlet and curl,
And donned a brooch that she thought apearl
Then they all went forth, and all were gay
As they joined the throng in the crowded way,
And Jim said: "Here with the children stay
"While get the tickets I'll come back soon."
Then the band struck up merry tune,
And the hours wore ON until it was noon.
Then, searching for him. her boy she sent,
Who found him at last, with money spent,
In drunken stupor beside the tent
She gathered the children with burning smart
OF tortured love of her aching heart,
Transfxed with pity as with dart
God pity them all in their grief and woe!
Like o vision Of beauty all aglow
To their poor, pinched lives seemed the paltry
show.
The tent was struck and its slories fed.
"They hahn seen nothin!" she, moaning, said
As home through the fields the way she led.

Fancy.

Ever let the fancy roam.
Pleasure never Is at home.
At a touch sweet pleasure melteth.
Like to bubbles when rain pelteth.
Then let winged fancy wander
Through the thought still spread beyont
her;
Open wide the minds cage door;
She'll dart forth and cloudward soar.
Oh, sweet fancy! Let her loose!
Summers joys are spoiled by use,
And the enjoying Of the spring
Fades as does the blossoming.
Autumn's red Tipped fruitage. too,
Blushing through the mist and dew.
Clogs with tasting. What do, thens
Sit thee by the ingie when
The scar fagot blazes bright.
Spirit Of winters night:
When the soundless earth Is muffied
And the caked snow Is shuffled
From the plowboy's heavy shoon:
When the night doth meet the noon
In dark conspiracy
To Danish even from her skyl
Sit thee there and send abroad.

With still mysterious stealth;
She will mix these pleasures up
Like three fit wines In cup,

Distant harvest carols clear,
Rustic Of the reaped corn,
Sweet birds antheming the morn,
And in the same moment-harkl
TITS the early April lark,
Or the rocks, with busy cav,
Foraging for sticks and straw.
Thou shalt at one glance behold
The daisy and the marigold.
White plumed lilies and the first
Hedge grown primrose that hath burst;
Shaded hyacinth, Away
Sapphire queen of the mid-May,
And every leaf and every flower
Pearled with the selfsame shower.
Thou shalt see the field mouse peep
Meager from its celled sleep,
And the snake, all winter thin.
Cast on sunny bank its skin.
Freckled nest eggs thou shalt see
Matching In the hawthorn tree
When the hen birds wing doth rest
Quiet in her messy nest,
Then the hurry and alarm
When the beehive casts its swarm,
Acorns ripe down pattering
While the autumn breezes sing.
Oh, sweet fancyl Let her loosel

Where's the cheek that does not fade
Too much gazed at? Where's the maid
Whose lip mature is ever newP
Where's the eye, however blue,
Does not weary Where's the face
One would meet in every placer
Where's thu voice, however soft,
One would hear so very off,
At q touch sweet pleasure melteth,
Like to bubbles when rain pelteth.
Let, then, winged fancy find
Thee mistress to thy mind.
Dulcet eyed as Ceres daughter
Ere the god Of torment taught her
How to frown and how to chide.
With waist and with side
White as Hebe's when her zone
Slipped its golden clasp and down
Fell her kirtle to her feet
While she held the goblet sweet
And Jove grew languid. Break the mesh
OF the fancy's silken leash;
Quickly break her prison string,
And such joys as these she'll bring.
Let the winged fancy roam.
Pleasure never Is at home. Keats.

The new recruiting system for the Army

has resulted in bringing the enlisted strength
M to its maximum. and few days ago orders
were issued by the Adiutant General, who is
in charge of the work, instructing the recruit

stations where men have been enlisted have
been closed Temporarily, and the officers on
the detail have been given other duties
Recruits have been coming in rapidly for some
months, aud they are n good class Of men. most
of whom have been out Of employment.
Rear Admiral &. {. Carpenter, who will DO

rector Philip y. Wales retiIes. The outlook for
vacancies in the line through rctirements in
the next year is discouraging, and after hd-
miral Carpenter gives up active service there
will be no other until Admiral Walker goes on

Brown, present senior officer of the Navy, in

Owing to the rapidity with which the work
