She was asleep in the hammock, or pre-
tending to be, and 1t struck me that

press upon her the fact that she was all
the world to me.
1T took me some time to get my courage

isn't girl that one can take many liberties
with, and she has always held me at arms
length.
But she made such pretty picture lying
there asleep in the hammock that l simply
lost my head Without stopping TO reckon
the cost, bent over her and kissed her.
Then fell back aghast at what had done.
But al she did was TO smile and murmur:

When Simmer Died.

The day that summer died we saw change
Creep slowly DER the sunshine of her face
A heeting beauty, dim and wholly strange
Unlike the brightness of her earlier grace,
We felt chill in every breeze that blew,
And saw across the meadows green and wide
A veil of frost that silvered all the dew
The day that summer died.
The day that summer died a red leaf fell
From out the naples green and stately crest,
And all the slender fern leaves in the dell
In robes of white and paest gold were dressed.
A late rose shed its petals one by one,
The poplar stirred its trembling leaves and
sighed;
A glowing dahla blossomed in the sun
The day that summer died.
The day that summer died the forest stream
Crept forth TO catch the blueness of the skies;
The hills grew dim and hazy as a dream,
Or like vision viewed by fearful eyes
A growing shadow. chill and vaguely drear,
Swept Ger the landscape like a rising tide;
And winters footsteps sounded all too near
The day that summer died

Their sons Are Marching On.

They are sleeping in the churchyards,
They are moldering on the plains;
They are mingling with the earth dust,
Whine the world enjoys their gains;
They, who earned a soldiers glory
In the bloody years long gone,
Now are resting with their comrades,
But their sons are marching on!
Could they hear the martial music,
In their far-off peaceful home;
Could they know our brave young soldiers
Cuba's hills and valleys roam;
That the battle-cry of freedom
Is a death-knell to the Don,
They would send loyal message
To their sons now marching on.
There'll be other silent victors,
Ere this holy war is Ger;
There II be some death-laden transports
Anchored on the other shore;
But the heroes of the sixties,
Proud of the victories that they won,
Will be waiting there with greetings
For their sons now marching on.
