Appearing ever since the prime,
Wayfarers slowly climb

Among some evil, so much good

So dear
They are and near:
Or strange and apparitional
As phantoms awning all
Who raise
The veil and gaze.
On earth some faces smile and some
Are wondering and dumb
With wise,
Imploring eyes.
Upon a journey many see
Themselves so YEARLY
Complain
Is all in vain.
Amazing voices sigh and call
Once more and murmur all
Must be
A mystery.
Until, consoling voices say,
Warfaring mortals may
Return
To sleep and learn.
Oblivion is in the chill
Monotony: and still
The slow
Years come and go.
So healing are the scenes!
Tranquility and peace
So sure!
Endure, endured

AS flowers, ere reaching Spring,

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Dec. 2S-The London market
to-day was irregular at the opening so far
as American stocks were concerned but
showed strength all day in spots finally
closing strong with an advance all through
the lists. Consols were iirrner and the gem
eral market strong. which was not unnat-
ural in view of the fact that the money
position was considered assured over the end
Of the year.
Paris exchange showed a declining ten
dency, but with this exception there was
nothing worth comment in discounts or ex-
change. The South African news was bet
tar. and China seems to have dropped out of
sight altogether. An interruption In the
cable service prevented any arbitrage busi-
ness during the day.
In the local market, after a somewhat ir-
I regular opening, large buying of St Paul by
ehe Hill Morgan contingent, followed by a
similar advance In Rock Island and Burling-
ton, stimulated the rest of the market The
coalers. after hanging fire. showed strength,
with very fair buying In the Reading issues.
