Grief was my master yesternight
Tomorrow may grieve< again;
But now along the windy plain
The clouds have taken flight.
The sewers in the burrows go;
The lusty river brmmeth on;
The curtains from the hills are gone;
The leaves are out; and 10,
The silverv distance of the day,
The light horizons, and between
The glory of the perfect green,
The tumult of the May.
The roads far off are lowered with dust;
The cherry blooms swept ar i thnned;
In yonder swaying ems the wind
Is charging gust on gust.
But here there Is no stir at all:
The ministers sun and shadow
Hoard all the perfumes Of the meadow
Behind grassy wall.
An infant rivulet wind-free
Adown the guarded hollow sets,
Over whose brink the violets
Are nodding peacefully.
From pool to pool it prattles by
The flashing swallows dip and pass
Above the tufted marish grass,
And here at rest /.
/ care not for the old distress,
Nor If tomorrow bid me moan;
To-day is mine, and l have known
An hour of bleSsedness.

A BID FOR CHINA's TRADE.
A Philadelphia Organization Has I'm
dertakcn the Work.
Philadelphia Record.

HLlllaQeIpnla ftecOIu'
One Of the most important movements
that has ever been undertaken for the de-
velopment of trade between the United
States and China is about to be inaugurated
by the commercial museum, which is pre-
pairing to send commission to the Celestial
empire to bring about closer commercial
relations between the two countries The
project has the official Endorsement of the
Chinese government as well as the State
Department at Washington and is the most
extensive of it's character that has ever been
attempted on behalf OF the trade interests
of this country.
The commission is to be composed of three
members DR. Gustave Niederlein, chief of
the scientific department of the museum; C.
A Green assistant chief of the bureau of
Information. and Sheriden p. Read, late
United States consul at Tien-Tsin China.
Mr. Green and Mr.. Read will sail from San
Francisco before the end of the present
month, to be joined at Hong Kong by DR..
Neiderlein and the commissioners Will
spend about year on the trip
The appointment of the commission is one
of the results of the recent visit Of William
Harner chief of the bureau of information,
To China The Tsung Lii Yamen, or Chinese
ImneriaI Bureau of Foreign Affairs, prom
ised the hearty cooperation of the imperial
govern ment in the work of the commission,
and in fact. issued formal invitation for
the visit to the country. The Chinese gov
ernment will issue passports to the COM
Tntssioners for travel in the interior
provinces and will extend official assistance
in nromoting the success Of the enterprise.

taken from the British, was used to capture
another British ship, the brig Epervier, OFF
the coast of Wales, The prize was sold for
$4,000 and $118,O00 in specie was found on
board. This was the first good victory OF
1874. Tt was soon followed by another,
when the American Wasp captured the
Reindeer Later she took the British Att
lanta, but soon after disappeared, no on@
knows how, but forever.
And next the second battle of Lake Cham
plain, an American victory this time, when
Commodore Thomas McDonough, with
fourteen vessels and eighty-six guns, de-
feated the British feet of sixteen vessels
and ninety-six guns, under George Downia.
Fifty-two killed and as many wounded was
the American loss, the British twice an
much.
The first naval struggle of 1915 brought an
American defeat, the President, under De-
catur, being captured by a British fleet Just
out of New York harbor. A month later
the Constitution captured the British frig~
ate Cyane and the brig Levant and three
days after the Hornet under Capt. Nicholas
Biddle, captured the British Penguin OF the
coast of Brazil. This was the last naval
battle OF the war of 1872, and practically
the last American naval battle with any
foreign foe.
That is not by any means full record Of
the American naval victories, but enough
of them have been given to show the quail
ity of American fighting on the sea- II the
navy now can do as we'll there will be littla
danger of defeat in any threatened trouble.

AMERICAN NAvAL VICTORIES.
Some of the Noted engagements IL
Which Our Sailors Participated.

Chicago Times Herald.
At the beginning of the war of the revolu-
tion there was no American navy. However,
the continental privateers, managed to cap
ture about eight hundred English vessels
and twelve thousand prisoners, five hundred
of them soldiers In some Of the best Eng
lish regiments. In the two years naval war
with France the fighting was all done by
the navy which captured eighty of the en-
emys vessels and about three thousand
men. The wars with the Barbary pirates
were also brought to a satisfactory end by
the unaided efforts of the navy, the United
States securing privileges not granted to
Furopean powers. 1t was in the war of 1872,
however that our navy won its greatest
victory by whipping the British. after 1t had
defeated the combined sea forces of the
world over 1900 British ships were taken
and over twenty thousand British seamen
were made prisoners. Finally in the Mexi-
can war though there was not much chance
for naval cooperation with the land forces.
when the chance did come, at Vera Cruz,
the navy took IL.

X. s. Martin In Harpers.
It happened once in April to visitor to
New York to have to make a call at the
University Settlement In Delaney street.
He started early in the evening from one
of the respectable residence streets on MUIR
knew not how desperate and lawless q
quarter. he took along stout stick as @
means Of self-protection. When he got there
he found a quarter where clean streets.
paved with asphalt, were brilliantly lighted
and swarmed with people. 1t was one or
the first mild evenings of spring. and
large part of Delaney street was sitting
out of doors Mothers were sitting on door
steps gossiping with one another and watch-
ing children who ought doubtless to have
been abed. There were life. action and 500
cial activity everywhere. Saloons and btl-
lard rooms seemed crowded-indeed every
thing seemed crowded-and to all appear
ances an immense amount OF entertainment
was in process of distribution among q
great number of people When the visitor
got back to his Murray Hill street 1t was
of the living TO the home of the departed.
Murray Hill was ditch water after De-
lancey street. Nobody in the side streets;
nothing going on. Not so much light; not
so good a pavement; nowhere near so much
fun in sight.
He smiled as he put his heavy cane In
the corner, and then he sighed at the reali-
cation that there are losses for all our
gains. as well as gains for ali our losses,
families who have whole houses to Them
selves and live indoors. even on. pleasant
evenings, do not enjoy all those advantages
without paying for them to some extent ~
the loss OF easy fellowship, and also OF
many pleasant social opportunities.

Have dreamed of all my days;
1 enter-close the door-good-bye!
And the world may go its ways.
The soft, cool shadows round me creep;
1 lay me down to rest-to sleep.
There is no reckoning here:
Not any noise strife;
Nor shall one murmur at the fare
When Death is host to Life.
Clean bed and board for We that come,
But sightless eyes and lips made dumb.
Cold ice at head and feet,
But flowers OF colors grand
To make the air above you sweet
and paint the roof of sand.
What more? And when the keen winds blow,
Sweet dreams in daisies meath the snow.
Good might, friends and FAREWELL
Our lives must parted be.
Grieve not that l with Death must dwell,
For Death is kind to me.
