0 vanished loveliness of flowers and face

o vanished loveliness of flowers and faces,
Treasure of hair, and great immortal eyes,
Are there for these no safe and secret

And is it true that beauty never dies?
Soldiers and saints, naughty and lovely

Women who set the whole wild world in

Poets who sang their passion to the skies.
And lovers wild and wise:

Was all they loved and worshiped but a

Is love a lie and an illusion. breath.

God gives US with eur rugged soil
The power to make 1t Eden-fair.
And richer fruits to crown our toll

Who murmurs at his lot today?
Who scerns his native fruit and bloom?
Or sighs for dainties far away
Beside the bounteous board of honey
Thank Heaven, instead, that Freedoms

Can change rocky soil to gold;
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And piled with fruits, awake again

Few interested parties, representing,
perhaps, 10 per cent of the frontage, wish
to raise our streets from six to eighteen
inches above the natural surface, which
would make ponds and cesspools out

long prices for dirt to fill in with, thus
buying our places over again We do not

SIX inch precipitation would awaken all
property owners to the necessity of pro-

tersections vary from trifie to over a
foot. Common ditchers, by the rule of
thumb do better. To raise the grade
OF the whole tract so as to conform to
the few existing improvements" late

make our streets resemble grades
