DMORE TERRITORY SUNDAY MORNING JANUARY 1897
ODE TO Ny CIGAR.

The following Stanzas were writ
ten by Mr.. Charles Sprague, of Bes-
ton, in 1871:
Yes, social friend, love thee veil,
In learned Doctors spite.
Thy clouds all other clouds dispel
And wrap me in delight.
What though they tell me with phiz-
zes long,
My years are sooner passed!
Der history's varied page pore,
Mans fate in thine l see.
Oft as the snowy column grows,
Then breaks and falls away,
! trace how mighty realms thus rose,
Thus tumbled to decay.
! while like thee earth's masters
burn
And smoke and fume around,
and tkcn like thee 10 ashes turn
And minglc with the ground.
Life's but Il leaf adroitly rolled,
And times the wasting breath,
That late or early we behold
Gives all to dusty death.
From beggar's frieze to monarch's
robe,
One common doom IS passed;
Sweet natures works, the swelling
SiCbc
Must an burn out at last.
And what is hc who smokes thee
now.
4 little moving heap,
That soon like thee to fate must bow
With thee in dust must sleep.
But though thy ashes downward 20
The essence rolls on high;
Thus when my body lieth low
Ny soul shall cleave the sky.
