been dismissed, Dwyte fell down
and in the mad rush of the schol-

trampled upon by his schoolmates,

also received knee wound, which
bled freely, but being brave little
fellow, he got up and soon put "his

One New York millionaire pro-
poses to tax his own income for the
benefit of the government, without
being called upon by the law. John
Jacob Astor offers to equip and
send to the front entirely at his own
expense battery of artillery for
use in the Cuban war. His exam
pie is not contagious, however, we
regret to say. He is only one of
the many very rich men of that
city. and his generous display of
patriotism is the more CONSPICUOUS
because of the great number of
them who are waiting to speculate
proftably off the necessities of the
government as the war progresses.
In fact turn which way we will we
generally find the rich watching
the almighty dollar, and leaving
war to the others. It would be bet
ter for the sentiment of universal
patriotism throughout the country
if more of them would follow the
example set by Mr.. Astor.- Park

Reverie.


'Tis spring. and o'er the yerdant earth,
The golden sun doth gleam,
While "eyery thing in nature smiles
AS In fairy dream
The robin sings his happy song
Upon the blossomed bough-
The gentle zephyr whispers low,
'sSweet Spring is with us now"
The violet blossoms with modest grace
Beside the laughing brook,
And all bespeak new life and joy
Where e'er chance to look
Tis sad that, in world so fair,
All hearts can not be gay
That sorrows heavy chain must bind
Fen through the Spring time day.
To me it seems that each birds song
Is in a minor strain,
And that the sparkling silver brook
Just whispers one sweet name.
And, in the plain.ive zephSrs sigh,
A magic voice L hear
A voice that has been stilled In death
One short but sad, sad year.
The lovely flowers e'en give us joy
But only serve TO bring
The mem'ry of the dear dead past
10 Wnlch tne netttt uoth ChhB.
All, mel tits hard to bear a grief
: When all else seemeth gay.
But every faithful heart shall have
Eternal Spring some day
And every tear shall be gem
Set in the crown oflife,
And every sigh shall be song
With joy and pleasure rife
SO let's take cheer for Jesus said
"Come unto me and rest
We know not, now, what depths of joy
Those precious words suggest.
But, weary hearts, this we can do
Press forward thro' the fight,
And we shall reach, some happy day.
