HUMAN LIES MYSTERY

We SOW the glebe. We reap the corn,
We build the house where We may
rest,
And then, at moments, suddenly
We look up to the great wide sky
Inquiring wherefore we were born.
For earnest or for Jest?
The senses folding thick and dark
About the stified soul within,
We guess diyiner things beyond,
And yearn to them with yearnnS
fond:
We strike out blindly to a marx
Believed in. but not seen.

! After rain, after rain,
o sparkling Earth!
All things are new again,
Bathed as at birth.
Now the lovely storm hath ceased,
Drenched and released
Upward springs the glistening bough
In sunshine now;
And the raindrop from the leaf
Runs and slips;
Ancient forests have relief;
Old foliage drips.
All Earth does seem
Like to DIMINISHING from the stream
Her body gSshing from the wave.
Glistening il beauty grave;
Or like, perhaps, to Venus, when she
rose,
And looked with dreamy stare across
the sea,
AS yet ur rconcious. of her woes,
Her woes, and all her wounds that
were to be.
Or now again,
After the rain
Earth like that early garden shines,
Vested in vines.
Oh green, green
Eden is seen!
After weeping skies
Rising Paradise!
God there for his pleasure,
In diviEest leisure,
Walking in the sun,
Which hath newly fun
Soon might perceive
The long -tressed Eve
Startled by the shower,
Venture from her bower,
Looking for Adam under perilo1s sky;
While he hard by
Emerges from the slowly dropping
blooms,
Ard odorous green glooms.

NO SURPRISE IN HAVANA.
Americans There Expected Inquiry Court
Would Report AS IL Did.


Would Report as 1t Did.
HAVANA, March 3O-While great In
terest Is felt among the Americans here
the report of the court Of inquiry had
been so completely discounted by pub
lications In the Havana, Madrid and
American newspapers as TO its principal
features that no special surprise was
manifested on the publication of the
findings Naval men regard the order
not to talk about the Maine explosion
as stu in force and they are therefore
unwilling to discuss the report or to
throw side lights on the testimony. All
think the cabled synopsis obscure in
many respects and prefer to wait for
the full text before commenting upon
the findings even among themselves.
Interest is now centered upon the
diplomatic doings at Madrid and Wash
ington with reference to cessation Of
hostllities and the feeding Of the recon-
centrados. Any news about these
phases of the problem is eagerly read
when coming from responsible sources.
The tone has been distinctly more
peaceful, and the hope is expressed
and even entertained that a satisfacto-
ny solution may be found Of all differ
ences.
La Lucha publishes a communication
signed "Silvius," asking number OF
questions, among them: what about
the diEc0ntent OF the sailors OF the
| Maine on account Of being denied shore
leave?" Did the officers of the Maine
say that life on the United States war
ships Is so hard that they hoped to see
! the whole navy blown up?" How
about the dinner on the steamer City of
Washington, where all the officers saw
ed were PRESENT." What kind of pre-
! cautions were taken when guns were
loaded and torpedoes primed?' 'Why
were no torpedoes found after the
wreck?" and What about the con-
fusion after the explosion. so great
that the sailors did not lower the
boats?" La Lucha's correspondent
says these are grave questions that
the American court of inquiry should
have settled before insulting Spain by
deciding that the explosion was ex-
