THE ROUGH RIDERS.

Broadcloth, buckskin, coat of blue or tan,
Strip It off for action, and beneath you'll
find man.
The boy that bucked the center and the
lad that roped the steer,
Chums in fighting fellowship-charging
with a cheer.
Their horses are picketed leagues away,
Their sabers are on the nail;
They have taken the rifle at break Of day,
They have taken the narrow trail.
The shimmering blade of the bayonet
Is red in the dawning sun;
Twill burn with a ruddier crimson yet
Or ever the work is done.
Nov, why do the scavenger grave-crabs
A-clattering down the dell?"
20, ask of the vulture lowering low;
1t may be that he can tell"
'Is yonder the gleam of mountain stream
Mid boscage, creeper and root?"
"Quick, drop ye down in the jungle brown
And cuddle your stock. and shootP'
The hunters stripped to the cartridge belt
And stalked in the seething maze.
The Indian fighters crawled and knelt
And pulled at the rifle blaze.
Kentucky fought with a grim delight
And Texas with his soul;
But the football rusher reared his height
And plunged for the deadly goal
They yelled disdain of the driving rain
OF steel that drilled and tore.
If the wounded sobbed it was not for pain,
But that they could fight no more.
Then, volleying low at the hidden foe.
They rushed him-two to ten;
They were trained in the rule of an iron
school,
And they were their coloners men.
From thicket to thicket, and glade to
glade,
And out in the Jungle,s marge.
They harried him back DER a clotted track
And formed for the final charge.
Hark to the swell of the rebel yell.
The bugle, calm and clear,
The "uh-uh-luh-loo' of the tameless Sioux
And the roar of the Saxon cheerI
The Baresark awoke in the Teuton folk;
The Aioman was born anew;
The pride of the blood of the Maccabee
Revived in the fighting Jew;
While. up on the right. like a storm at
night,
Rilled with the irving flame,
Their eyes ashine, in a steadfast line.
The negro troopers came.
Sons OF the past!-her best and last
At Freedoms bugle call
The Races sweep to the conquered keep
The flag that shelters all.
In peace We prate of the needs Of state
And winnow your meager souls.

And quake at the clouded goals.

How Things Are Going.

DR.. Cuyler, the venerable clergyman
of New York, was interviewed tie other
day, and here is part of the interview:
"What do you think of the Socialistic
tendency of the age?"
'This is big question. Socialiam
ranges all the way from Christian So
cialiem to the other extreme of anarchy.
You make people Christian and you
change human character, and you make
employer just to employe, you remedy
manv social evils. 1t has been my OBJ
servation that poor people who are es-
sentially good, don't stay poor long.
Much poverty is the result OF Incidence
and personal vice Character does much
to change the conditions of life. The
Christian religion elevates personal
character. II is the leaven that leavens
the lump"
"Do you think the world is growing
bettel?"
81 do not speak of the world. In this
country there is an advance in some
respects. and in some directions we have
retrograded. There ls more unity among
the churches. better sanitary conditions
in our cities, aud popular education has
advanced. There is lowering of tone
in reference to the Sabbath, and / am
afraid that in our commercial life there
is larger infusion, of the gambling ele-
ment, making it more exciting and try
ing to the conscience of men. There il
race to get rich at all hazards. There
is an increase in social extravaganza, an
aping of things in Europe. I am thor
,ugh American every day, and 1 don't
believe in adopting some Of the Old
World usages. 1t makes the country
| less severely Republican. Our old Amer
ican stock is diminishing every year, and
We must stand more and more for our
Did ideas against the Influx of foreign
IDEAS"
"What of the philanthrophic spirit of
the age?" the doctor was asked.
II don't say that there is any increase
in philanthrophic spirit. Some good
movements have been dropped too
much out of sight. Our people are prone
work for good thing while it's the
fashion and rage. It is an evil to be
.usrded against. The American people
have splendid dash, and it would be
veil if they could have, in addition, the
lold-on-tlveness of the English.

scribed myself as cheerful pessimist.

IN THE ELEVATOR,

NAMPERTON stopped at the hotel
u desk long enough to read the letter
which was handed to him with his key;
then he started for his rooms to dress
for the club dinner.
But the club dinner was no longer in
his mind. The contents Of that letter
engrossed his thoughts to the exclusion
of everything else.
It was from his late travelling COM
panion, Birch, whom he had LETT In
Paris month ago, and who now wrote
from London to tell him that the Kings
leys had quit the continent and were In
tending to sail for America at once.
$50 the coast is clear, old man, and
you can come back" declared the writer,
persuasively. "You were an idiot ever
to run away as you did. Join me here
in a fortnight and we'll still be in time
for that Mediterranean trip"
Oamperton's jaws were set and his
brows contracted as he stepped into the
elevator.
He knew that the Kingsleys, in re-
turning to America at this time, were
curtailing their original programme by
at least six months. And it was easy
to guess the reason.
They were coming home to prepare
for their daughters marriage to her
titled suitor. The count himself, no
doubt, would follow in short time to
claim his bride.
"And I must get away before they
arrive" decided the young man "I1l
go back to Europe by the next steamer" p"
Through the mist of his mental abb
straction he observed that the elevator
had an occupant besides himself-a
woman who had seated herself in .
shadowy corner of the car-but her
presence did not change the current OF
his thoughts.
The elevator came to sudden stop
so sudden, indeed, that Camperton, not
being prepared to check his upward
course all at once, involuntarily rose to
his tiptoes, waving his arms like huge
bird about to take flight, and then
pirouetted gracefully toward the other
passenger in the corner.
"There is no danger, madam" he be-
gan, in his most reassuring tones.
Were fast between two floors and
must wait awhile
He stopped short as he noted, with
surprise and alarm, the attitude of the
lady. She was still sitting in her cor
ner and was holding a handkerchief
over her face, while little convulsive
quivers and shrugs of the shoulders in
dicated that she was weeping.
. In his contrition and his desire to
soothe her narrowed feelings he was
about to sit down beside her, when a
sound that was strangely like giggle
came from behind the handkerchief.
Camperton started up, flushing hotly.
"Do forgive mel" and the laughing
voice suddenly became coaxing. 81
know it is rude of me to laugh, but,
oh, Mr.. Camperton, yoA can't imagine
how funny you looked just now, when
you went hopping and waltzing about
and kneeling at my feet-for all the
world like performing bear!"

THE WIND.

Out from the caves spring at morn,
Freed from my thrall at last;
With an angry roar and a cry of scorn,
A challenge I blow on my brazen horn,
With fierce and defiant blast.
The ships at sea are my easy prey,
And 1 drive them before my breath
Through the midnight gloom till the break
Of day,
Out from the hold of the sheltering bay,
To whirl in q waltz with deathl
The sturdy oak Of q hundred years
Like reed twirl and break,
Then rush away with thousand cheers,
Nor heed the cry that is wrought in tears
For the havoc my legions make.
No human hand can compel to rest
My steed untrammeled and wild,
But q voice comes to me out of the west,
And I ruffle the down on the sparrow's
breast
And kiss the lips Of a child
