VAIL or THE WANDERING DEAD.

Death, too. i a chlmera and beJrsys.-
And vet they promised We should

Death is as empty as the cup ~ days.
And bitter milk Is IN her wintry
breast.
There is no worth in any world 20

Nor any in he world We left behind:
And what remains OF all our master
DOM
Only a cry out of the crumbling mind.
We played all corners at the old Gray
Inn.
But played the King of Players 10 our

we played him fair and had NJ chance
to win:
The dice of God were loaded and We
lost.
We wander. wander. and the nights
come down
! With starless darkness and the rush
! OF rains:
We drift as phantoms by the songIess
town,
! We drift as litter on the windy lanes.
/ Hope is the fading vision OF our heart.
/ \ mocking spirit throwing up wild

! She led us ON with music at the start
J To leave us at dead fountains N the
sands.
Now all our days are but cry for
sleep,
/ For we are weary Of the petty strife
Is there not somewhere in the endless

Come, God of Ages. and dispel th'

There is no new road for the dead I,

Wild hearts are we among the world
aStray-
Wild hearts are We that cannot who'll

But linger on though life has gon

Teach me, Father, how to- go
Softly as the grasses grow:
Hush my soul TO meet the shock
. OF the wild world as a rock;
But my spirit, propt with power.
Make as simple As a flower.
Let the dry heart fill its cup.
Like n poppy looking up;
Let life lightly wear her crown.
Like poppy looking down
When its heart is filled with dew
And its life begins anew.
Teach me, Father, how 10 be
Kind and patient as a tree.
Joyfully the crickets Groom

Tarries in that cooling tent.
Let me, also, cheer a spot,
Hidden field or garden grot-
Place where passing souls can res
On the way and he their best.

Gentlemen:-I have much pleasure
in bearing testimony TO the high value
of your Minerva Tonic. During the
holding of the Grand Australian Fair
it was very greatly appreciated here by
the Clergy and others, who found it
most palatable and energising. Every
one who has had experience of It pro-
nOunces it admirable.
Yours Faithfully,

And till il comes, these men are slaves
And travel downward to the dust OF

Clear the way. then. clear the way.
Blind crseds and kings have had their

Break the dead branches from the

Our hope is in the aftermath.

\ MEETING.

edwin MarkhamJ
Softly she game one twilight from the
dead,
And in the passionate silence of her
look
Was more than man has writ in any
book:
And now my thoughts are restless. and
Il dread.
Calls them 10 the Dim Land discOm-
forted;
For down the leafy ways her white
feet took.
Lightly the newly broken roses
shook
Was it the wind disturbed each rosy
head?
God; was it JOY or sorrow in her facs-
That quiet face? Had IL grown old
or young?
Was it sweet memory or sad that stung
Her voicsless soul To- wander from
its place?
What do the dead find in the Silence
grace?
Or endless grief for which there : no
tongue?

send on photographic cylinder setting
forth some OF his latest ideas Of electrical
interest Mr.. Edison complied in his
own way. The message was hs follows:
my Dear Marks-You ask me 10 send
you a photographic cylinder for your
lecture this evening aud to say few
words to the audience. / do not think
the audience wouli take any interest in
dry scientific subjects bnt perhaps they
might be interested in alittle story that
u man sent me the other day on phono-
graphic cylinder from Idaho. In the
year 1873 n man from Massachusetts,
came to Idaho with chronic liver com
plant. He searched all over the coast
for mineral spring to cure the disease,
and finally found down in Boise valley 4
spring the water OF which almost in
stantiy cured him. He thereupon start
I'd sanitarium, and people from all over
the world came and were quickly cured.
Last year this nan died. and so powerful
had been the action Of the water that
they had to take his liver ont and kill it
with club. Yours truly. Edison"

that il he did not use it he would 50 far
