THE DAYS THAT USED TO BE

THE DAYS THAT USED TO BE.
Let-me sing you a song of the
~ happy days,
The days that used to be.
When the hours were veiled in a
misty haze,
To which we would gladly flee,
When all was bright to our
..@ youthful gaze.
No intricate windings, no
doubtful maze, 49,
And on each lip a song of praise
That you were alive-and me-
No cross to sustain, no sorrow
to bear la.
In the days of used to be-.
No deed too great for us to
dare, ... .........
When we were happy and free
No narrowing doubt, no chilling
care,
No soul bowed down beneath
lW despair;
Then life was happy, life was
fair,
Twas happy for you-and me.
Those gladstone days will live
not again,
Those days that used to be.
When life was all pleasure with
dout any pain,
A joyful mystery. @
We hailed with submission each
shadow of pain,
For we knew that the sunshine
.1E would come again.
No grave in our heart where some
.Gi hope was lain;
Then you were content-and me-.
Press on, little friend, through all
p your woes,
And think of the used to be.
For there'll come a time when
''' you'll conquer all foes,
And all life's misery.
When the soul is done with its
io,,, earthly throes,
And into the haven Of rest it
"@ gladly goes,
Then once again, All, as every
one knows,
You'll surely be happy-and
-Wesson Edward Ragan.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, May 7.--Stock brokers had
busy two hours during the short ses-
sion of the exchange today and there
were no intervals of idleness, The mar
ket was furiously active throus hout and
the kcenncss of the demand for stocks
gathered force as the session progressed
until 1t had become very like "a scramble
towards the close. OssaciUnal offerings
by operators content TO take the very
substantial profits was swallowed up
with almost no effect I'm prices. The ele-
ment of apprehension which had caused
the reaction at the close yesterday were
cleared up. There was some hesitancy
in the trading until an official contirma-
tion had been received from Washington
of the good news from Manila. The force
of the upward tendency of prices was re-
markable in the second hour and the
days net gains range between l and 3
points Tor most OF the leading stocks.
Total sales were 322,9OO shares.

Toronto. May s.--Senor Du Bose, late
FIRST secretary of the Spanish Legation
at Washington, lectured to two thousand
people here Thursday night on the causes
of the present war. SenOr Polo and many
prominent men were present. The leo
ture was i'm aid of the Red Cross So
ciety work. and was delivered in a pri-
vate capacity.
He made a severe attack on the Amer
lean people, He traced the history of
the trouble, reterating the Spanish arg
uments, and spoke Of American senators
as "border rufiians, whose illiterate
boorishness Is only equalled by their
venality and ludicrously pompous con-
ceit." lie urged that American cupidty
for conquest constituted a grave danger
to Europe, Canada and Mexico, and con-
cluded by comparing the Queen Regent
of Spain with "the bloated politicians
whose countenances depict the lust that
is in their hearts"

SPANISH GUNS HOT WORK

The Spaniards seemed encouraged to
fire faster. knowing exactly our distance,
while we had to guess theirs. T~cr ship
and shore guns Were making things hot
for us.
The piercing scream of shot was varied
often by the bursting of time fuse shells,
fragments of which would lash the wat
er like shrapnel or cut our hull and rig
ging.
one large shell that was coming
straight AT the Olympa's forward bridge
fortunately fell within less than one
hundred feet away. one fragment cut
the rigging exactly over the heads of
Lamberton, Rces and myself.
Another struck the bridge gratngs in
line with it. \ third passed just under
Commodore Dewey and gouged a hole
in the deck Incidents like these were
plentiful.
/ Our men naturally Chatcd at being cX-
! ing exposed without returning fire from
! all our guns, but laughed at danger and
! chatted good humoredlX. A few nervous
/ fellows could not help lodging mechan-
1 ically when shells would burst right over
/ them or close aboard, or would strike
/ the water and passed overhead, with
| the peculiar splutterinG roar made by Il
| tumbling rif1ed projectile.
