thrOng
OF passing pilgrims, and that fits
along,
With laughter stolen from age, and
with a song,
Merrily, merrily.
The sombre, sad, reflective smile Of
man
sneering, the hollowness Of all to scan.
And wondering II tits chance or IL tits
Gloomily, gloomily.
The beaten face Of age, that, worn,
still hopes,
That in a half-gloom stumbles on and
gropes,
And plods with weary feet by streams
and slopes,
Heavily, heavily.
All mixed in one inextricable blend,
travellers whose pathways have a
common trend,
Moving toward common destiny and
end,
Steadily, steadily.
AN 1NsURMOUNTABLE OBSTACLE.
On tn road t. meetin'-me an her,
Drivin' every Sunday in a sleigh,
On tn road t. meetin', it amt fur,
VISIT, b'gosh twas twice as fur away.
On tn road t. meetin-mile away,
Shortest mile, b'gosh, I ever see,
We git there jes' as / git nerve t saw,
In thing l want to, everlastingly.
On tn road t. meetin', drivin' on.
Spinnin' swiftly through tn frosty air,
Fore l git courage up, tn chance is
Fore I git nerve t. speak, b'gosh, we're
there.
B'lieve she'd have me if I'd only ask,
Blieve shed take me if I got to say
IN word, but how can I git to tn task,
Wnen tn meetin nouse%is but a mile
away?
Clearin' of my throat for half a mile,
Takes another half to git aroun'
T. say tn thing in what's tn proper
style,
N we git there before 1 stiddy down.
No matter how I'd hol' tn bosses down,
No matter how I'd try to set tn pace,
We git there long before 1 git aroun',
An l cant make the distance fit the
case.
B'lieve if jes' had another mile,
T. drive, I'd git tn story told some
day,
TIL amt no use for me t try it while
TIL meetin' house is but a mile away.
When tn trustees git t. meet again,
Coin t. make an offer for to pay
F'or a better lot a mile beyond, n then
Git tn church moved mother mile
away.
Tn amt no use t. drive to church this
fur,
I might be drivin' f'rever an a day
N never git tn story told to her
With that meetin' house not more'n a
mile away.

SIGNS OF sPRING.

These are the signs Of spring:
The waking earth from Winters spell
OF sleep,
And the first flowers, that, fearful,
slyly peep &
Through the scarce vanished
the unlocked streams
That babble as the child, half walked
from dreams,
And lightly lisp their laughter and
their song,
Caress the messy shores and steal
along
With gladness to the sea; and every
thing
That wakes and lifts it's tuneful tongue
to sing.
~ These are the signs. of spring.
These are the signs of spring:
The cleaning sunlight stealing
through the gloom :
And the stern visaged housewife with
the broom
Clearing the parlor carpet Of it's mud
The bent tin cans that blossom and
that bud \
Upon the ash pile-rubber shoes, ap-
Cast off to swell the swollen garbage
And heaps of refuse, waking up, to
Their noisome odors forth, and every
thing
Steaming with doubtful fragrance.
These, by Jing,
These are sure signs of snrinp
PEACE.
Lord, in thy mercy, give us peace,
dispense our armies, break the
sword,
Bid now thy warning children cease
Their strife, and teach them mercy.
Lord!
Lord, in thy wisdom, take away
The lust for blood and greed of
gain,
Bid the mailed hand uplifted, stay
Its hate and teach it love again.
Lord, in thy power, may we see
A stainless soil, undrenched with
blood,
Nor vultures winging hungrily
Ger waste an. o and solitude.
Lord, in thy might, that cen suficed
To fashion endless Universe,
Let the voice of another Christ
Speak-and our sullen ranks dis
perse.

When party reaches the point where
it finds 1t necessary to denounce the
Declaration of Independence as "rev.
olution document" and to refer con-
temptuously to the constitution as an
instrument fit only for the day in which
it was made, you may be sure that it
is contemplating some new dangerous
policy. The Republican party has done
this. The new and dangerous policy
IS the acquisition and exercise of i'm
perialistic power. Shall it be empire
or republic? No more serious ques-
ton has ever been presented to Amer
lean citizens.
