AN! WOULD i COULD FORGET.

The whispering water rocks the reeds,
And. murmuring softly. laps tho weeds;
And nurses there the falxest bloom
That ever wrought a lovers doom.
Forget me not Forget me not!
Ali would could forget!
But, crying still, Forget me not"
Her image haunts me yet.
He wanderd by the rivers brim,
Tho day grew dusk the pathway dim;
Her eyes like stars dispell'd the gloom,
Her cleaning fingers pluck'd the bloom
Forget me notl Forget me not!
All would I could forget!
But, crying STILL Forget me not"
Her Image haunts me yet.
The pale moon lit her paler face.
And coldly watch'd our last embrace,
Aud child her tresses sunny hue,
And stole the flowers turquoise blue.
Forget me mott Forget me not!
All! would could forget!
But. crying still. Forget me not"
Her image haunts rue yet
The faithful flower droopd to death,
The fair. false maid foreswore her faith:
But obey broken vow.
And keep those wither'd blossoms now!
Forget me not. Forget me not!
All. would could forget!
But, crying still. Forget me not"
Her image haunts me yet.
Sweet lips that pray'd Forget me not!"
Sweet eyes that Will not be forgot!
Recall your prayer. forego your power.
Which binds me by the fatal flower.
Forget me not! Forget me mott
All! would | could forget!
But, crying still. Forget me not"
Her image haunts me yet.

CISNI3no's CHOICE.

He 10 not III to govern men,
Whom passion renders blind;
A man should learn to rule himself
Before ho rules his kind
And therefore no whom ! shall call
To lead 10 victory's goal
Shall provo himself to bo-boys all
a man OF self-control.
"'Tis not enough that hs would die
To set his country FREQ,
Thank heaven, there are many more
Such valiant men az no.
"'Tis net that he has slowly grown
GRAY in his country's cause.
Nor yet for wondrous valor shown
10 gain the worlds applause.
"'Tis not bepause he bears the scars
ct many bloody fray:
TITS not for having led the charge
On some victorious day.
"But once. saw him boldly take
And conquer self. twas then
knew tho lad was born to make
A leader amongst men.
"And row because he rifles himself
With such q rigid hand.
Behold Riviera shall succeed
To Maceo'B command.
"a young Leonidas-alert,
And muscular OF limb.
Who-tho' he died-would not desert
The cause SO dear 10 him"
Thus spnke the presideDt-elect;
fNow heaven help the cause.
And grant the good old chief may live
To execute tho laws.)
So stern--And yet subdued-that voice
That once was full OF fire.
And yet tho good Cisnero's choice
Met every mans desire.

ON THE WINGS OF THE STORM

For The Post.
The sable plumes, torn from the storm,
Fell down ard to the earth.
Where, erst the sunlights Kisses warm
Hadst given flowers birth.
The ribbon lightning shot ethwart
The crepe-like canopy.
OF clouds, as though 1t would impart
Wild splendor TO the sky.
The thunder rolled in monotone
ike unto angry seas,
Der which Aeolian giants moan
Their drge-skc melodies
An eve for death. vet love was born
Within a heart, that hour.
The warning elements seem shorn
OF strength. that gave its power.
In force and grandeur like the storm,
Imbued with l1fe e'er more.
Upon its course-omttng FORM
Dlscarding ntness-bore.
Nor fearing palm nor heedng strife,
The tempest -nurtured soul,
Regardless death. regardless life,
Swept onward TO It's goal,

Induced confession that she expected
from two to half a dozen men to rise in

on her face when they did not do so told
the secret more plainly than words could

With her was little girl whose looks
fixed beyond doubt the relationship OF the
TWO. Mamma was rather impatient with
the wrap which impeded her efforts to
reach a strap. She looked about her as

The child leaned against her mother and

old lady. as she stroked her golden locks
