Mans Mortality,

Like as the danask rose you see,
Or like the blossom on the tree,
Or like the dainty flower in May,
Or like the morning of the day,
Or like the sun. or like the shade,
or like the gourd which Jonas had
E'en such is man; whose thread is spun,
Drawn out. and cut, and so is done.
The rose withers. the blossom blasteth,
The flower fades. the morning hasteth.
The sun sets, the shadow flies.
The sourd consumes-and man he dies!
Like to the grass that's newly sprung,
Or like q tale that's new begun,
Or like the bird that's here today.
Or like the pearled dew OF May,
Or like az hour, or like span.
Or like the singing of swan
len such is tnaD-who lives by breath,
Is here, now there. in life and death.
The grass wither., the tale is ended,
The bird is flown. the dew's ascended.
The hour is short, the span is long,
The swans near death-man's life is done!

From. savaxery to civili.ati,

From SavaSery to Civilization.
Then sross the aged chieftain, Seversweat,
And cast beth eyes upon the assembled braves
And spat INTO The council Ere and scratched
An idea or something in his head
And placed a bronchial troche within his mouth
To stiifen up the tiinbre OF his voice,
And thus he spake:
My children, I am oldI
fhc frosts OF time relentessly have chilled
The lubricating cups which oil my joints.
And soon I'll pass across the great white range
Which separates the hereness from the yon.
I've lived 20 see you. step by step, advance
From out the night of savagery and sin
Into the great, broad, sun llumned day
OF civilization served up paieface style.
Ere yet the Christianzing hand had come
To break the bonds of Inun deviltry
Ye thought but of the chase, the path of war,
The swpng paeface hair OF many shades
From raven black to bright peroxide blond.
OF deeds Of savage warfare that would win
For you the smirks and smiles OF smoke tanned
slI;aws;
You danced the war dance round the sagot fire
In wild gyrations, such as paleface man
tiyrsies who eDtertains an aching tooth
Now ell is changed. The civiliEing sun
Has risen and immersed you in its light.
You drink the juice Of maize with paeface zest,
Rear JOYFUL jays eXpertly as he.
Wear striped shirtings and divided psnts.
where IN the past ye wore no pants at all
You smoke the cigaroot from monster trust
Shoot craps and chase the cid tin growier. and
Before mine aging eyes count
A quorum of the slickest most expert
And swift draw poker players in the land.
All this I've lived to see, A wonder wrought
Ry civilizations great refining hand.
BY Christianizing influences which
The pale skinned people brought into cur midst.
Aud now my work is done; MY dimmiag eyes
fsin would button up tcreyerr,ore
Ny wearied spirit longs to pull its freight
Away from hence into the by and by.
ini II you'll please excuse me now think
Ill jump the contract and go of and die."

The Religion Of Hudibras.
He was of that stubborn crew
OF Grant saints, whom all men grant
To be the true church militant;
Such as do build their faith upon
The holy text OF pike and gun;
Decide all controversies by
Infallible artillery,
And prove their doctrine orthodox
BY apostolic blows and knocks;
Call fire, and sword. and desolation
A godly, thorough Reformation,
Which always must be carried on
And still be doing, never done;
As il religion were intended
For nothing else but to be mended.
A sect whose chief devotion lies
In odd perverse antipathies;
In falling out with that or this,
And finding somewhat still amiss;
More peevish, cross, and splenetic,
Than dog distract, or monkey sick:
That with more care keep holiday
The wrong than Others the right way;
Compound for sins th=y are inclined to.
By damning those they have no mind 10;
Still SO perverse and opposite,
Az II they worshiped God for spite;
The selfsame thing they will abhor
One way, and long another for.

Oft In the Silly Night.

Oft In the Silly Night.
Oft in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond Memory brings the light
OF other days around me:
The smiles, the tears
OF boyhood's years,
The words OF love then spoken;
The eyes that shone,
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
BAD Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
When remember all
The friends so linked together
Eve seen around me fall,
Like leaves in wintry weather,
] feel like one ssg,--
Who treatis alone
Some banquet -hali deserted,
Whose lights are fed,
Whose -arlands dead.
And all but he departed.
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slunber's chain has bound me,
Sad Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.

Nothing hut Leaves.
Nothing hut leaves; the spirit srieves
Over wasted life;
Sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made, hut never kept,
Hatred. battle, and strife.
Nothing but leavesl
Nothing but leaves; no garnered sheaves
or life's fair, ripened grain;
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds;
We sow our seeds-lo. tares and weeds
We reap. with toll and pain.
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves; memory weaves
No veil TO screen the past:
As we retrace our weary wav,
Counting each lost and misspent day,
We find. sadly, at last,
Nothing but leavesl
And shall We meet the Master 50.
Bearing our withered Leaves?
The Saviour looks for perfect fruit:
We stand before HIM. hunlbled, mute,
Waiting the words he breathes-

The AngIo-saxon Dreibnnd.

We are not at all surprised that the idea
OF an Anglo-Saxon drsibund should create
an unpleasant feeling in some foreign quar-
ters nor that it should strike some Of our
American public men as a thing to view
With alarm" rather than to point 10 with
pride. What has been said on the sub
ject Of Emperor Wilhelm's visit to Blen-
helm. and concerning the flags Of the three
nations which, side by side. have been
conspicuous features Of the public deeora-
lions in England during the imperial visit,
undoubtedly has given rise to irritation Oh
the part of certain of our European neigh
bors, but there is really nothing in the
matter which should cause anxiety in any
quarter where there exists an honest de-
sire to live at peace and to be good
We are entirely in sympathy with Seua-
tor Morgan. in his statement that we ought
TO cultivate the friendship Of the Latin
American States of our own hemisphere.
So we ought, and viii try to if we are wise.
But that need not prevent us from Joining
hands with Great Britain, Germany. and
Japan in a thoroughly pesceable determi-
nation to secure an open door in China for
our commerce and that of our friends.
such a movement need not worry the
South American States, and we do not see
why it should offend Russia or France,
always supposing their intentions to be
amicable, and that they have never
thought Of shutting us out Of the Flowery
Kingdom.
Two or three OF our more negligible
statesmen appear 10 be afraid Of the drei-
bund spectre on general principles. They
we're similarly much exercised over an
Anglo-American alliance ghost a year ago.
But they will get over It. AS it has been
wisely said, President Mckinley viii prob
ably refrain from asking the Senate TO
raufy treaties OF an offensive and defeu-
slye character with the Queen and the
Kaiser. There is not the least reason why
he should proceed TO any such awful
lengths. As long as the three Anglo-saxon
states understand each other, and, having
common interests in certain directions,
adopt q common course with regard 10
them, nobody. it seems to us, will have any
cause for complaint. ana formal treaties
VIII be unnecessary. Nevertheless and not
withstanding, the AngIo-Saxon dreibund
might be very much Of a fact.

GENERAL JOUBERTS VIEWS.
A Published Letter Attributed TO the
BOcr Commander.

BERLIN, Nov. 2s.-The "Deutscbe
zeitung' publishes a communication. pur-
porting to be from General Piet Joubert.
and dated at Ladysmith. October y. in
which the writer says.
Even il we do not succeed in preventing
the concentration of General Buller's
troops the British army will be Weakened
from natural causes to such an extent that
not more than $4,000 efficient troops. or
10000 at the outside can take the field
The others must be employed to protect
communications. In this connection il Is
TO be borne in mind that not only Natal
but Cape Colony, with a base OF operations
covering 435 miles must be considered
Our bases of supplies are at home and
organized on the relay system in three di-
rections. To protect these does not require
500 men. II one base should be threat
ened seriously the supplies will be de-
stroyed. a war OF defence. og which We
need not think for a considerable time
would present far greater advantages than
an offensive war. We are at home in the
highlands Of the Transvaal and the Orangs
Free State. The British viii have TO con
test every step under fnconceiyabia din
eulties and must be prepared at every mo-
meut 10 fight two or three fronts.
fhen viii begin a guerrilla war which
the British viii not be able to endure. Al
ready we have 10000 men in the field. So
We do not need to calculate upon a rising
OF the Beers in Cape Colony and Natal
Nevertheless if the British stir up the ma
tives and employ them to fight US. a rising
OF the whole Of Afrikanderdom is certain. g"

sHIPBUILDING PREDICTIONS.
Manager Diekey Forecasts New Tri-
umphs i'm Marine Industry.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-George w. Dick
ey, manager of the Union Iron Works. OF
San Francisco, during a speech at the ban
quet Of the Society of Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers. in this city last week
made a noteworthy prediction in regard to
the future development of the iron ship
building industry of the Pacific Coast.
About twenty-five years ago" said Mr.
Dickey, 4 said to some friends of mine
1t won't be many years before We are
building iron ships on the Pacific Coast.
My friend, Irving Scott, heard of this some
time later, and he is said to have made
this comment, I always knew Dickey could
tell mighty good story. but this time he
has gone way beyond the bounds Of rea-
son. Why. it's absurd
Now, I'll make another prediction.
continued Mr.. Dickey Il believe that
within few years we shall be building
steel ships on the Pacific Coast. with near
ly 200 feet of length for each thousand
miles they have to travel; that is. ships
at least 1000 feet long. Transatlantic
ships have reached these proportions and
believe Pacific ships will soon DO the same
thing"
prominent naval architect of this city.
who was present al the society's dinner.
said that he fully believed in the sOundness
OF Mr.. Dickey's prediction. Mr. Dickey
knows pretty well what he is talking
about" said he. The fact that he really
deserves the credit for designing the bat
ueship Oregon gives weight to his present
opinion.
