New COLLEGE GARDENS, OXFORD,

On this old lawn. where lost hours pass
Across the shadows dark with dew,
Where autumn on tho thick sweet grass
Has laid weary leaf or two.

Happy is he whose lingering feet
May wander lonely there.

The magic of the quiet hours,
Breathe unhcard tales of other times
And other dcStinics than ours.

Still, noisvless. walk beside our feet,
Poor ghosts, who found this garden dcar
And found the morning sweet

That may il no new garden grow

On the isle of Man there is grief at
the death of Joseph Mylchreest, gold
seeker, diamond miner and philanthro.
pist, and Hall Game writes that his
life was an inspiration to honest, faith
ful and upright effort. " Mylchreest sold
his share in the claims of the De Beers
Consolidated company to Cecil Rhodes
for 5000, 600. Then, putting large gangs
of men to work night and day, he
cleaned up all he could-"a fabulous
amount of material" -before the time
when the contract was to go into effect.

Set gu. Trees In the Spring.

Spring is a better time to set trees
than fall, because at that season trees are
beginning to grow and will, therefore,
be in condition to respond more readi-
" to treatment, while i'll fall they are
unlikely to establish themselves before
cold weather sets in. Preserve the roots
to the fullest possible extent and do rot
disturb the tree until AFTER it has ripen-
ed and has shed its foliage. If the roots
are cut away, as they almost invariably
are in spring planting, be sure to cut
back the top proportionately. &'-e

NEW YORK, June 16.-In its forth

Poet Laureate of England:
The dew was on the summer lawn,
The roses blOomed, the woods We're
green,
When forth there came, as fresh as
dawn,
A maiden with majestic mien.
They girt a crown about her brow,
They placed a scepter in her hand,
And loud rang out a nations vow
GOD guard the lady of the land
And now the cuckoo calls once more,
And once again June's roses blow,
And round her throne her people pour
Recalling sixty years ago.
And all the goodly days between,
Glory and sorrow, love and pain,
The wifely mother widowed queen,
The Hottest as the longest reign.
She shared her subjects bane and bliss
Welcomed the wise, the base with
Stood
And taught by her clear life it is,
The greatness to be good
Yet, While for peace she wrought and
prayed,
She bore the trident, wore the helm,
And mistress of the main, she made
An empire of her island realm.
So, gathering now, from near, from far
From RUE where ne'er sets the day,
From southern cross and northern star
Her people lift their hearts and pray
Longer and longer may she reign,
AS though a summer night serene,
Whence day doth never wholly wane,
God spare and bless our Empress
Queen.
