about twelve feet in length and three
feet in diameter, is covered with purple

unhallowed joy that was rampant ev-
erywhere during the entire game.
1t made no difference which side was
at the bat. each man was judged and
loudly proclaimed to be incompetent, ir-
relevant and immaterial, until he proved
himself otherwise; the pitchers and
catchers of both mines were cheere0 on
in their work by the most openly ex-

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE IN AMERICA

OF unwittingly judicious or humorous
signs there are plenty. A tinsmith near
Exeter, England, had sign which reads
Quart measures of all shapes and sizes

landshire the following placard was af-
fixed to the shutters of a Matchmaker
who had decamped, leaving his creditors
in mourning: wound up and the main

in Thomaston, Ga. On one of the princi-
pal streets the same room was occupied
by physician and a shoemaker, the dis
ciple of Galen in front while he of ST.
Crispin's trade worked in the rear. over
the door hung the sign: I'VE repair both
soul and body" On the windows of a
London coffee room there appeared the
notice: This coffee room removed up
stairs till repaired" The proprietor of
the place was not an Irishman, though

until the end. He was ready and will
ing and expired without struggle.
James Gowdy Clark was born in Con
stantia, N. Y, June 49, 1890. He inherited
from his parents his poetical gift, his
love for humanity and his devotion 10
liberty and justice, which made him
an enthusiastic abolitionist, which cause
he championed with voice and pen, con-
tributing such war songs and poems as
"Fremont's Battle Hymn The Child
rem of the Battle Field" and many others,
and by travelling from town to town and
giving concerts raised thousands of dol
lars for soldiers aid societies.
When the war was over Mr.. Clark, al
ways in the forefront of the cause of re-
form, turned his attention to the con-
dition of the toiling masses, and, as the
people know, became the prophet poet
OF the new time. Most of the readers
Of The Herald are familiar with The
Peoples Battle Hymn" which has been
sung for many years in different parts
Of the country, wherever the author has
been, and it never failed to arouse enthu-
siasm when heard.
His sympathy for the people is beauti-
fully and forcibly expressed in the fol-
lowing stanzas from one of his mos !:
popular poems:
Ye have stolen my lands and my cattle;
Ye have kept back from labor its need
Ye have challenged the outcasts to battle
When they plead at your feet in their
need;
And when clamors of hunger grew louder,
And the multitudes prayed to be fed,
Ye have answered with prisons or powder
The cries of your brothers for bread
i turn from your affairs and arches,
And the mocking of steeples and domes,
To join in the long weary marches
OF the ones ye have robbed of their
homes.
/ share in the sorrows and crosses
OF the naked, the hungry and cold,
And dearer to me are their losses
Than your gains and your idols of gold.
Mr.. Clarks voice is silent ard his hand
Is still, but he yet speaks through his
poems, which will live forever He has
now realized the beauty OF the transit
tion to immortal life described in his
poem, "Leona," of which the following
are few stanzas:
Leona, the hour draws nigh
The hour we've awaited so long.
For the angel to open door through the
sky,
That my spirit may break through its
prison and try
Its voice in an infinite song.
Just now as the slumbers of night
Came o'er me with peace-giving breath
The curtain. half lifted. revealed to my
sight
Those windows which look on the kin gdom
Of light
That borders the River of Death.
And vision fell solemn and sweet,
Bringing CLEANS of morning-lt land;
/ saw the white shore which the pale
waters beat,
And I heard the low lull as they broke al
their feet
Who walk on the beautiful strand.
And I wondered why spirits should cling
To their clay with a struggle and sigh
When life's purple autumn is better than
spring.
And the soul flies away like sparrow to
In cline where leaves never diel
The moons silver hair lies uncurled
Down the broad-breasted mountains
away:
Ere sunsets red glories again shall be
furled
On the walls of the west, Ger the mains
Of the world,
shall rise in limitless day.
Oh come not in tears to my tomb.
Nor plant with frail flowers the sod.
