Ere the dew was tho grass adjoining.
Ere the red sun burst into flame.
Out OF the mist Of the morning,
The song OF the wood thrush rne.
On my ear soft as flute notes falling.
Musical, mellow and clear,
Came the voice OF the sweet bird. calling:
I'm here. am here! am here!'
Singing tunefully as II to capture
All In me that remained OF boy.
The round hills hardened with rapture,
And the dark woods listened with Joy.
Singing clear. as II 10 awaken
The sleepers In covert and tree.
The ragged mist-curtains were shaken
By the ring OF his melody.
on the paths not a footstep falling.
Not a sound afar or anear.
Save the ore voice piping and calling:
I'm here. am here, / am here"
Ere gems were the grasses adorning.
While never gossamer stirred.
Ere burst into music the morning.
How perfect the song of the bird!
Nor ceased he his marvellous singing.
Nor fainter his piping became.
TIL the sun through the mist upspringing.
Flashed on the hills like flame.
And then-rccalling his childhood.
Like the notes OF a clarion, clear,
Rang out from the heart OF the wildwood (:
I'm here, am here. l am here!'

ROBBED MAIL POUCH.
$1,000 Missing--Glove With
"Carr" On 1t Found BY
Slit Bag.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S, 1900.-Tt became
known at noon today that several money
packages said to contain about $1,000, and
intended to pass through the Long Island
City postofice, disappeared yesterday
afternoon while en- route from New York
to Long Island City. All the information
that can be learned from the postal au-
thorities indicates that the money pack
ages were stolen from a mail pouch.
Yesterday afternoon the mail pouch in
tended for the Long Island City Post
Office was found with cut in the side
and eighteen pieces of registered mail
matter, all of which is said to have con-
tanned money was missing.
For some time it has been the custom
of "a man in the employ Of Mrs. Connel-
ly, who keeps a livery stable at No. A
jackson avenue, to carry the mail pouch
between the Long Island Railroad depot
and the Post Office, which is on Borden
avenue, near Vernon avenue. Until re-
Gently this work was done by William
Carr.
In reply to query the mail agent tele-
phoned the postmaster that he had as
usual turned the pouch over to William
Carr. Carr has not been seen in Long
Island City since yesterday and the Secret
Service men are looking for him. A
glove on which was the name of Carr
was found near the rified mail pouch.
