THE ROADSIDE EOLlAN.

When winds stream over the rugged knoll
The highway lies along,
The wires stringing from pole to pole
Give tongue to voice of song.
A-glint with beams of the morning sun
They carry a blitheful air,
Humming burden that seems to run,
Good news is the word we bear"
This Joyous one,
"GoS6 news we bear"
They swing and sway at the breeze's will
While the heavens smile above
To hear the measure they gayly thrill,
''We're speeding line of love-
With scale and trill,
"a line of love-"
A cloud and a shadow go sailing by.
To the breezes' falling breath
In sinking cadence the wires sigh,
"Respect for tale of DEATH"
More softly still,
ga tale of DEATH"
Oh, the songs are many the wires sing
When the rowing wind is sent
To play of gladness or suffering
On its mighty instrument.

MISSING MONEY.

Erastus Twopeny was a lawyer, ex.
pert III real estate values and an apt
conveyancer, and as he praoticed in the
days before the title guarantee hawk
had swooped down upon the legal barn
yard and captured the geese that laid
the golden eggs he made money. AS
soon as he found himself in condition
to marry he took to himself wife She
was energetic and ambitious, and while
she proved herself an excellent house
wife she was at the same time inflamed
by strong desire to acquire wealth ON
her own account.
Her husband was all that woman
could desire. and she bal nothing to
complain of ON that score. He was even
generous and showed it by giving refuge
in his comfortable home to his wife s
brother Charles, who had proved him
self incapable of retaining any position
which his friends had procured for him.
He was good looking, agreeable young
fellow, but lacked those staying quail
tiles which make one a good man of
business. In society he was all right
and a fayorite with the families where
he visited. He had no vices so far as
known by his family. except smoking
can be considered such, and when he
was out of funds his sister always man
aged to supply him with money enough
to enjoy that luxury.
Erastus was devoted to his profession,
and often after quitting his office for

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
MIR. McIKinIey's RecOmm endatiOn that
War Be Declared.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The President
to-day sent Congress the following message
recommending a declartion OF war against
Spain:
ITO the Senate and House of Representa-
tives Of the United States of America:
II transmit to the Congress for its con-
sideration and approval copies of corre-
spondence recently had with the representa-
tive Of Spain in the United States with the
United States minister at Madrid and
through the latter with the government of
Spain, showing the action taken upon the
joint resolution approved April 20, $685. For
the recognition of the independence of the
people of Cuba, demanding that the gov
eminent OF Spain relinquish it's authority
and government in the Island of Cuba, and
to withdraw it's land and naval forces from
Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the
President of the United States to use the
land and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect
Upon communicating to the Spanish
minister in Washington the demand which
it became the duty Of the executive to adj
dress to the government of Spain in obe-
dience to said resolution the minister asked
for mis- passports and withdrew. The United
States minister at Madrid was in turn noti-
fed BY the Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs that the withdrawal of the Spanish
representative from the United States had
terminated diplomatic relations between the
two countries, and that all official COM
mLnications between their respective repre-
sentatives ceased Herewith.
I recommend TO your especial attention
the note addressed to the United States
minister at Madrid by the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs on the 21st inst, whereby
the foregoing notification was conveyed. 1t
will be perceived therefrom that the gov
eminent of Spain, having cognizance of the
joint resolution of the United States Con-
gress, and in view Of things which the
President is thereby required and author
lied 10 do. responds by ting the reason
able demands OF this government as meas
ures of hostility, following with that instant
and complete severance of relations by it's
action. which, by the usage Of nations, ac-
companies an existent state of war between
sovereign powers.
The position Of Spain being thus made
known. and the demands OF the United
