The Martyrs Idyl.

The purple light OF the greater, earlier
centuries has not altogether ceased C
shine on literature, while there yet re-
! mains ajar the easement of the cham
| Der Of poesy, In which dwells Louise
lmogen Quincy. Surely there Is re-
! joicing al the Mermaid Tavern, at the
sure proof that knighthood and song
have not lost Philip Sidney, when there
floats backward, up the tide Of the old
years, such verse as:
A loyal lady. young; a knight for honor
slain:
All beauty and all quiet sealed for aye
upon
Their images. that lie in Golf and
morton.
And men of moodier England pass, and
hear outside.
Fury OF toll alone, and Fate's diurnal
storm.
Hearts with the King Of Saints, hearts
beating light and warm,
10 these your courage give, that these
attain your rest.
From the ramparts that rise beyond
an honorable scaffold, Raleigh sure
waves greeting as OF kin TO kin to the
girl who. with the voice We knew OF
old when he set his strenuous soul to
song, sings, as in his measures:
High above hate dwell:
O storms. farewell!
Though at my sill your daggered
thunders play,
Lawless and loud. tomorrow as today,
To me they sound more small
Than young fay's football;
Soft and far-sunken. forty fathoms low
In long ago.
And winnowed into silence, on that
wind
Which takes wars as a dust, and leaves
but love behind.

We have heard. from time 10 time OF
strange things being produced as evil
dence, but who ever heard OF an egg
as a birth certificate? In the January
number OF Cassells Little Folks a
writer says. Mrs. Bell, poor widow
OF Norwich, was brought before the
school attendance committee Of the city
where she lived, In order that she might
satisfy the powers that her daughter
was old enough to entitle her 10 stay
away from school. Being required 10
produce evidence OF her child's age
she showed the committee an egg finely
colored In purple. yellow, and cream. on
which were traced out in white letters
the girls name and the date Of her
birth, In addition 10 the texts The
Lord shall guide thee continually and
Teach me 10 do Thy will" This un-
usual birth certificate after having re-
ceived its need OF praise for the beauty
OF It's execution, was accepted by the
committee as satisfactory evidence on
age, and the widow retired having
proved her case.

From life TO life. from height to height
Along q pathway infinite.
Across the years We journey on,
From out OF shadow unto dawn,
From out Of darkness into light.

To lead our spirits through the night
Along the chasmed gufs that yawn
From life 10 life.

A sweet goal glimmers into sight.
When mists OF lust and hate are gone
He sees. as past ven withdrawn,
A glimpse OF glory cleaning white

THE LOST GAME.


Came the big children to the little ones
And unto them full pleasantly did say
"Lo We have spread for you merry game
And ye shall all be winners at the came.
Come now and pay"
Great is the game they enter in
Rouge ct Noir a giant scale
Red with blood and black with sin,
Where many must lose and few may win
And the players faili
Said the strong children TO the weaker ones
See, you many. and We are but few!
The mass Of all the counters ye divide
But few remain to share upon our side.
Pay-as We dol"
Strange is the game they enter in
Rouge ct Nor field of pain!
And the silver white and the yellow gold
Pile and pile in the viaors hold
While the many play In vain
Said the weak children to the stronger ones
See now, howe'er 1t fall lose our share!
And play We well or III We always lose;
While we gain always more than ye can USE
Bethink ye--ls It fair?"
Strange is the game they enter in,-
Rouge ct Nolr. and The bank is strongl
Play they well or play they wide
The gold is still on the bankers side
And the game endureh long
The game Is slow-0ur gains are all too small"
Play We together now ganst them apart;
So shall these dull ones lose II from the start
And We shall gain 1t ALI"
Strange is the game that now they VIM

What can the many players do
whose wits are weak and counters few
When the Power and the Gold combine?
Said the weak chndrsn to the stronger ones
I'VE care not for the camel
for play as We may our chance is small,
And play as We may ye have II all
The ends the same!"
Strange is the game the world doth play
Rouge ct Noir with the counters gold.
Red with blood and black with sin;
Few and fewer are they that win
AS the ages pass untold
Said the strong children to the weaker ones
'Ye lose in aslpess! We lose in sleepl
Play faster and make The counters splni

Strange is the game Of Rouge ct Nor-
Never point have the little ones won
The. winners are strong and flushed with gain
The losers weak with want and pain.
And stil thegame goes on.
But those rich players grew SO very few.
So many grew the poor ones that one day
They rose up fton that table side by side
calm, countess terrble>they rose and cried
IN one great voice that shook the heavens wide
I'VE WILL NOT PLAYl"

Where is the wealth of yesterday?
