Tho Torn Leaf.

A vItching charm pervades the things beyoad
our eager grasp.
We'd throw away the prizes won for those we
cannot clasp.
All day we wait for sunset, and all night we
watch for dawn.
Ehe best part Of Hfe's story Is the Leaf that's
torn and gone.
The past is shadowed with regret. the future
has its doubt,
And every rose that we would pluck with
thorns is hedged about.
The dream, the song. the hope, the prayer
things we loved-were ON
The page for which we all despair, the taas
that's TORN and gone.

Friendship.
sing Of friendship. IT'S word
That's very, very often heard,
But little understood.
One holds as friend the useful man
Who at the timely moment oan
Do him deal Of good
Another says friend is he
Who's ready with his sympathy
And excellent advice,
And yet another deems him ono
Who joins straight In the passing. fun
And adds his share Of spice.
Again, you hear the only friend
Is he who willing Is to lend
His money at the call.
But none Of these, though fair, viii 90
They haven't really got the true
Descriptive touch at all
The friends, the bona fide friends,
Are they who when good luck attends
Upon you for a season
Do not commence to sneer and dout
And say the whole affairs without
The slightest rhyme or reason;
Who do not lift their eyebrows or
Deal In sarcastic metaphor,
Their lips with envy curving.
Keep them, my boyl Such friends are rare
But, II you have them, know that they're
The sole ones worth preserving.

Irish Generosity.

TO the bounty Of Thomas Il. Walsh.
the Irsh-Amcrican millionaire mining
king Of Colorado. and his wife, the
happiness of one poor woman in the
great metropolis of New York is due.
Poorly clad and Worn by care, she
started out early, on Thursday last,
in search of work. The thought Of
the sick husband and six children she
was obliged to leave at home was
constantly with her. Early afternoon
had come, and still she was pursuing
her unsuccessful search for employ
ment. BY this time she had reached
Fifth avenue, where she encountered
Mr.. Walsh just emerging from the
Waldorf-Astoria. TO him she appeal
ell for aid.
"Plcase, sir, could you help me?"
she asked. "My husband is sick, and
has been unable to work for months.
I cannot find thing to do; and there
are six children to be fed.''
Mr.. Walsh has the ability to read
character correctly. He saw that the
suppliant was not a habitual men
dicant, and drawing out his pocket
book, he took out bill which he hand
ed to the woman.
That's Walshw some one exclaimed.
Seeing he had been recognized. the
millionaire hastily started to walk
away, when, struck by a second
thought, he turned and caught up with
the woman, who, after thanking him
profusely, had slowly gone toward
Sixth avenue.
"Give this card here to Mrs. Walsh
at the Waldorf-Astoria." he said
pointing the hotel out and at the same
time writing few words on the back
of his visiting card. "She may be able
to help you"

HUNTING.

Hunters are jubllant over the good
shooting in the Northwest this year.
Ducks are numerous. Rice Is thick
this season which will probably cause
a struggling flight. Grouse shooting
is very good and chickens promise to
be very plentiful with a change of
weather.
The 500 Line has just issued their
1900 Hunting Book, containing relia.
BILE reports as to shooting at all sta.
'tions along their line where any exists,
also giving all other information val,
liable to the hunter.

ANTRIM,

The Nationalists of Belfast have for
warded to Mr.: John Redmond, anoth-
er subscription of ESQ for the General
Election Fund; but, in doing so, they
state distinctly that they will refuse to
contribute any further unless a thor
ough and honest union of the National
Party is established, and all tricksters,
traitors and timeservers are definitely
expelled from it's ranks. The Belfast
Nationalists want no connections with
factionists or followers Of selfish DEM
agogues.
CORK.
On Nov. 9th, peremptory orders
were received at Queenstown, direct
ing that no special throughout service
with the American mail should be
despatched from Queenstown after 6
p. m. i'll future, and further directing
that all Continental and foreign mails
may not be landed as heretofore for
despatch by special through service
from Queenstown. These regulations
strike materially at the advantages of
the Queenstown mail route, and are
calculated to do Queenstown grave in
jury. The feeling amongst those quail
ified to judge at Queenstown in con-
nection with the matter Is that the
mail authorities have taken advantage
of the inactivity Of those interested in
the Irish route, and have struck a
blow at the supremacy of Queenstown,
which is believed to be the beginning
of still further encroachment on the
service. In consequence Of the order,
the Continental mails brought by the
Campania would not have been land
ed at Queenstown, only they were
ready on the deck of the ship, and She
could not be detained to have them
separated A special service left there
at G:15 D. m. with 1,475 sacks Of mail
matter, which is believed to be the
last for some time owing to the new
rule.

our prayer
For teachers who guide us so patient
ly on,
For frolics with mates when our les
sons are done,
For shelter and clothing, for every
days food,
We bless thee, our Father, the Giver
of Good.
For peace and for plenty, for freedom,
for rest,
For joy in the land from the east to
the west,
For the dear starry flag, with it's red,
white and blue,
We thank Thee from hearts that are
IRISH SIT SIT SIT
honest and true.
For waking and sleeping, for all that
we see,
We children would offer our praises
to Thee;
For God is our Father, and bends from
To keep the round world in the smile
of His love.

The Charge of the 100000.

Half a mile, half mile,
Half a mile onward
Just about one mile per day
Rode the three hundred-thousand
Beers to6rjght of 'em,
Beers to- left of 'em,
Millions OF Beers!
Volleyed and thunderetl;
(No one can ever tell
Where they all came FROM. we'll,
Anyway, on they went,
Noble three hundred-thousand.
FLASHED all their knee pans bare.
FLASHED as they turned in air.
Shocking the Boer girls.
Shooting. they wondercd:
Then the Highlanders broke
Back through the Lyddite smoke,
Horse Guard and Coldstreams
Reeled from their Back, you bloke!
Shattered and sundered.
Thus they came back, but not
Not the three hundred-thousand.
Halt" And the Big Brigade
Sat in Tugela's shade,
lOf course they were undismayedY
While everyone blundered.
Theirs not to get to White,
Theirs but to sit there tight,
And wait for three hundred-thou
sand.
Beers to right of 'em,
Beers to left of 'em
Dozens Of Beers!
Nolley and thunder.
There they are, fighting well,
$50 all their papers tellD
Right in the jaws of Death.
oh, how those jaws must swell
70 hold 'cm--three hundred--thou
sand.
When will their glory fade?
Never while men are made
Stupid us thunder.
Ha! ha! The fight they've made.
IIo! no! The Big Brigade!
Noble three huntlred-Lthousand.
Life.
