The gay set has crowded many de-
Hghtful entertainments into the last
fortnight before Ash Wednesday, and
now but few days remain until the
arrival of the penitential season,
when society will go into voluntary
retirement. All indications point to a
rigorous observance of the Lenten
season, SO far as outward appearances
CO. but there will be many informal
gatherings during the afternoons and
evenings Most of the clubs, which
have proved such a prominent and
pleasing factor in the social pleasures
of the winter, have announced that
they will not meet again until after
winter. sTone of the clubs have out
lined entertainments to be given dur
ers, which may be regarded us an in
dication that those who do not con-
form with the religious idea concern
ing Lent. are willing to forego their
pleasures in Difference to the opinions
of the other members. The deyotee
has determined to devote a portion of
her time to religious and charitable
work, and no doubt will find ample
recompense for abstention from social
enjoyment, in the innate conscious
ness of doing good.

When the vengeance wakes, when the battl
breaks,
And the ships sweep out to sea;
When the foe Is neared when the decks are
cleared,
And the colors floating free:
When the squadrons meet, when It's fleet to
fleet
And front to front with Spain;
From ship to ship. from lip to lip
Pass on the quick refrain,
Remember, remember the Mainer'
When the flag shall sign, Advance In line,
Train shi9s on an even KEEL
When the guns shall flash and the shot shall
crash
And bound on the ringing steel;
When the rafting blasts from the armored
masts
Are hurting their deadliest rain,
Let their voices loud, through the binding
cloud,
Cry, ever. the fierce refrain,
Remember, remember the Maine!
Gods sky and sea in that storm shall be
Fates chaos Of smoke and fame
But across that hell every shot shall tell,
Not gun can miss its aim;
Not blow shall fall on the crumblng mail,
And the waves that engulf the slain
Shall sweep the decks of the blackened
wrecks
With the laundering. dread refrain,
Remember. remember the Mainei''

SETTING CUBA FREE.

From the Cleveland Leader
There were coattails wildly flaming in the
circumambient air.
Here and there some one was sprawling or
the floor;
There were cries OF "Order. order order
ORDER" from the chair
And hundred timid members scampered
wildly for the door!
It was not Deadwood soiree nor a cowboy
jamboree,
Nor Cripple Creek discussion, nor a Daw
son City brawl;
The House of Representatives was setting
Cuba free
that was all!
Hairy. fists were hercely shaken under bleed
ing noses there;
Cries of "Liarr "Cowardv' ''Demagogue,p
were banded to and fro;'
A little gent" from Georgia hurled a volume
through the air.
Which gent" from Pennsylvania lodged
by ducking very lowi
oh. the people who had gathered in the gal
Fled in terror or Historically grovelled on
the ioorl
The House of Representatives was setting
nothing more.
There were whiskers of all colors flying
through the atmosphere.
And yells of terror mingled with the how,s
and Kisses there;
Gentlemen called one another names that
can't be printed here,
And hair and rumpled neckties nuttered
wildly In the airi
1t was not Deadwood soiree nor a cowboy

Nor Cripple Creek discussion nor a Daw-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

They are camped on Chickamaugai
once again the white tents CLEAN
On that field where vanished heroes
Sleep the sleep that knows no dream
There are shadows all about them
OF the ghostly troops today,
But they light the common campfire
Those who wore the blue and gray.
Where the pines OF Georgia tower
Where the mountains kiss the sky.
On their arms the nations warriors
Walt to hear the battle cry.
Wait together. friends and brothers,
And the heroes meath their feet
Sleep the long and dreamles slumber
Where the flowers are blooming sweet
Sentries, pause. yon shadow challenged
Rock-ribbed Thomas goes that way
He who fought the foe unyielding
In that awful battle fray.
J Yonder pass the shades Of heroes,
And they follow where Bragg leads
Through the meadows and the river.
But no ghost the sentry heeds.
Field Of fame. a patriot army
Treads thy sacred sod today
And they'll face common foeman,
Those who wore the blue and gray,
And they'll fight for common country,
And they'll charge to victory
Meath the folds of one brave banner
Starry banner Of the freel
They are camped on Chickamauga,
Where the green tents Of the dead
Turn the soil into a glory
Where a nations heart once bled;
But they're clasping hands together
On this stored field of strife
Brothers brave who meet to battle
In the freedom war Of life
