As from the darkness forth she splrng'
And it to her cradle gave,
So on its bosom she must hang
Trembling, till it become her grave
But while she sees the stars so bright
The Moon can not her death deplore,
For all the heavens are sown with
light,
Though from herself it come no
more.
Pale Moon! and |, like thee, am sink
ing
Into my natural nothingness;
l who, like thee, from heaven was
drinking
The god-like power to love and bless.
This shroud of night is dark and chill,
And yet l can not think to mourn;
The skies | filled are radiant still,
And will be bright when | am gone!

The wheels of the world go round and
round.

The wheels of the world go round and
round,
In the press of the busy throng.
Morn with its matin melody,
And night with its vesper song;
The tides are out and the tides are in,
Like the sea with its ebb and flow,
For there's always II TO stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There is rush of hurrying feet,
The sparks fly out from The wheels of
time
To brighten the bitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow,
There is always N to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Over and over good-bys are said
In tones that die with the day,
When eyes are wet that annot forget,
And smiles have faded away;
Smiles that are wern as over a grave
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at homo
Where there is one to go.
Always one for the little tasks
Of a day that is never done;
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone;
And he who fights on the worlds broad
field,
With banner and blast and drum,
Littlc.dreams he of a battle gained
BY the II who stayed at home.

would rejoice at any discontinue that

not inaugurated by their own politi-

are bowling over the proposed annexa-

couraged. The Democratic party had
it's innings at this treaty and did not

SPRUCE TREE SILK.

Il Is of Good Quality and Far Cheap
err Than the Old Kind.
In Europe an excellent quality of silk
is being made from the spruce tree, and
it is expected that the industry will soon
be established in this country. The cost
of making silk by this process is one
fifth that of spinning from a worm
cocoon. The fiber may be dyed as read
lily and woven as securely as the animal
product. Its textile strength Is great.
The inventor claims that other woods
may be used, but not SO satisfactorily.
His 20 years study of the subject In
duced him to experiment to find the
chemical process the vegetable fiber of
the leaf of the mulberry tree went
through while being transformed by
the worm into silk. He brushes the
tree, mixes the mass with glucose, and
congresses It into heavy gum in me-
tallic tubs. The mixture is then forced
by hydraulic presses through tiny glass
tubes at the bottom Of the tubs, IN fbers

PEELED to use magnifying glasses to tell
