book was one William Wey some time
fellow of the Royal College of the most

and afterward an inmate of the house of

he compiled this work. and in the library
of their house the manu- script reposed while
the library remained intact. This guide book
begins with a PREDATORY pote giving the

Wen read that book. Wen sing that song,
But when? Oh. when the days are long:
When thoughts are free, and voices clear;
Some happy time within the year
The days troop by with noiseless tread,
The song unsung; the book unread.
Wei see that friend. and make him feel
The weight OF friendship, true as steel;
Some flower OF sympathy bestow-
But time sweeps on with steady flow.
Until with quick, reproachful tear,
We lay our flowers upon his bier.
And still we walk the desert sands.
And still with trifies fill our hands,
While ever. just beyond our reach,
A fairer purpose shows to each.
The deeds we have not DONE but willed.
Remain TO haunt us-unfulhlled.

"The People That Delight in War;

Glitter OF steel along the sunny street
strain of martial music clear and loud,
The stream of scarlet flowing like a tide
Mid the wild cheering of the eager crowd,
The blazoned banners floating far and wide,
And sounding over all the measured beat
Like rolling drums-of those exutant feet
That march to death glory side by side.
Thus they go forth who never may return,
deadly fever fills the Nations veins
The fires of Passion fierce ana hercer burn
Till--as some captive panther bursts its chains
Men stand amazed at that tremendous sight
Empire 'gainst empire arming in its might.

This is the pride of War All who shall tell
The storys issue? It's that redo ming field
Across whose length thirsty river runs
Fed with their blood who knew not how to yield;
Who died mid cannon smoke ana roar OF guns
And trampling hosts that crushed them as they
fell:
Mid strife that turns the fair earth into h~u
Whilst Rachels voice laments her glorious sonsl
