LOVE AND LIFE.

Should life be all a garland
OF sweet and thornless flowers,
Grown in a fairy farmland
OF unbeclouded hours?
Ali no, let thorns together
With fragrant flowers entwine;
That so l prove thee whether
We share the sweets tWether,
And all the thorns be mine.
Should life be all an ocean
OF rapture-rippled tides,
Whereon In may motion
The south wind softly glides?
All! no, let storms together
With rosy Gains combine;
That so in wild-wind weather
AS we sail on together,
My heart may shelter thine.
Should life be all measure
OF golden-girdled sound,
Wherein no briefest leisure ~
For minor tones Is found?
All no; let minor meanings
Amid its music be-
That so loves intervenings
May store an sadder gleanings,
And share the sweets with thee.

HOAR'S VOICE RAISED
AGAINST EXPANSION

BOSTON, April 19.-The Sons Of the
Revolution observed Patriots day by
the unveiling Of a tablet placed upon
the tomb in Kings Chapel burying
grounds which marks the resting place
of William Dawes, whose daring night
ride Of April 1919, 1779, was Of the
same character and accomplished the
same purpose as the ride of Paul Re
we're. The ceremony was followed by
a banquet at the Hotel Vendome. at
which Senator Hoar and former United
States Minister to Spain, Hannis Tay-
Tor, were the principal speakers. Sena-
tor Hoar said:
We should as soon have thought three
years ago Of asking the Saviour of man
kind TO come down from the mount and
take service under a Roman centurion
or go into the employ of Tiberius in order
not to be isolated, as TO have asked the
American people to descend from its lofty
height TO engage in the diplomatic quar-
rels. Of Europe or the scuffies for ernnire
in Asia. Mr.. President, do not believe.
for one, that the temper and character of
the American people have changed in a
twelVemonth. / believe that the princi-
pies Of the constitution and the declara-
ton, the doctrine on which the revolution
was fought and won. are still dear to the
hearts Of the American people.
