The Inner Self.

The Inner Self.
There is an inner temple of thy heart
From all the world apart.
Close locked, and barred and bolted
heavily,
Thou hast alone the key.
No human eye may sec, no heart may
share
The mysteries of there.
Tho on the door the knockers noisy din,
None find an entrance in.
Sometimes into the temple thou makest
way,
A little while to stay.
Thy outer garments cast away, apart,
Thy real self then thou art.

A Problem,

Sometimes I feel like risin' up an rowin' 'gainst
the stream,
A bendin' to the oars, hummin' a song,
Sometimes look ahead and sec some tcmptin'
promise CLEAN,
An feel like goin' for it good an strong.
l leap into tn harness and 1 make tn water fly,
The white foam churnin' on it as my boat glides
swiftly by,
But I never seem to reach it, tho it allus pears
so nigh,
Then I feel like droppin' both tn oars an
jcs' driftin' along.
holdin' tight tn oars,
An a blistered heart from hopin' on 50 long.
l nearly git discouraged, tightin' there between
tn shores
D. tn stream O. Toll, an wonderin' what is
wrong.
Then I SEQ another rainbow, an mebbo it NAV
A treasure ut tn end for memo, 1 amt after
gold,
But a treasure O. fulfllment O. my hopes that's
CROWN cold,
But it never gifts no nearer, an I feel like
driftin' long.
1 don't know why it is-some men dom seem t.
have t. fight,
They jes' drift on a hummin' of a song,
liner boats they never leak, it seems that good
luck keeps EN- tight,
An Providence keeps 'em from .:steerin'
wrong.
They could fall out in tn water and step out all
dry and clean,
With an oyster in each pocket, bcarin' pearls
tn shells between,
An somethin' seems to keep 'em always smilin'
an serene,
AS they float upon tn water. happy-ies,
driftin' along.
So l say, sometimes I wonder after all if it's
worth while
10 struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle
long
Bendin' to til heavy oars, an rowin' on milo
after mile,
Tryin' hard to keep y'erself from goin'
ong
Tn man that doesn't struggle, we'll, hos lazy, I
agree,
But no never tastes tn bitterness O. gall that
comes to 30,
When yer suppin' disappointment fer yer
breakfast, lunch an tea,
An sometimes I think it's jes' as vol to sit
an drift along.
Then I git another impulse an l take tn oars
again,
An bend my back an ply EN- good an
strong,
I wipe away tn tears and choke tn heavin'
signs, an then
muster up another snatch o. song.
I'm happy for a moment when I chase another
dream,
I'm glad, if only for an hour, in watchin' it's
bright CLEAN,
An somethin' seems to tell me that upon tn
troubled stream
o. Life tn amt no place for him who sits
an drifts along.

A Fountain of Youth.

1OOAAto!A Va 4O0tAs
Oh, for a fountain, whose clear, crystal
spray
The heart bathed in might be made
young again!
Whose waters, dashing on, might wash
away
The scars Time leaves, renew its youth,
as when
1t throbbed expectant, all its hopes
plumed high.
Where now it only quivers heavily.
Oh, for a fountain, where the lines of
care,
Deep, drawn, dipped in from craven
brown might fade;
And wasted hopes and dreams, plunged
under there
Before thine eyes, refreshed, renewed
be laid,
As the dropped flowers and withered,
wilted, wan,
Revived by grateful waters sprayed upon.
Oh, for a fountain, where a love grown
cold
And careless, plunged, be wakened and
made new,
Where hearts, played with its spray, grow
never old,
But leaping forth and on thy pulses
through
The same delight, as in thy youth, that
filled
Thy soul when in thine ear some love
tale thrilled.

Secrets.

Secrets.
Down the leafy lane they go,
Oh, so slow! Oh, 20 slow!
Arm in arm, with heads close-so,
Whispering low! Whispering low!
Whispering low, as though they fear
Zen the listening trees may hear.
What the tale he tells, 20 slow,
Told so low, told so low?
What the guarded words that flow,
Who may know? Who may know?
Till some small boy cries: "Them looms!
Gosh, but that's a case of spoons!"
Through the busy world we 60,
Whispering low! Whispering low!
Think the world hears not, and so
Doesn't know, doesn't know,
Till some youngster by the way
Gives our secrets all away.

President Mitchell said:
The prospects of an early settle

have not yet posted notices are s!gni-
flying their willingness to fall in line
either with the Reading Co, or with
the proposition made by the Lehgh
Valley Co, in the Hazelton district. Ii
all of them notify their employees by
posting notices or otherwise that an
actual advance Of 10 per cent. Will be

how contract miners could receive the
