A LITTLE LATE.

There are not wanting indications
from Cape Colony that the Dutch citi-
zens down that way are far from salts
fed with the outcome of the Boer war
and England's general course towards
the Republics, and there are official
intimationS that very considerable
body of troops will be required in what
is strictly British territory to allay
what is officially characterized as "ebul-
itions of popular discomfort" This is
natural result, but the Cape Beers
and their sympathizers are little late
in manifesting their dissatisfaction.
The time for them to have acted was
when war was first declared and the
English force in South Africa was
small and widely scattered. Then, had
they risen en- masse, they would have
held up the hands of Kruger and Styen,
and put the English upon the defensive
upon their own soil. Now there can
be nothing more than mere agitation,
and in the end the Colony Dutch will
get the worst of it. The South African
was has been settled in England's
favor, and all that remains for the
Beers and their friends is to make the
most of a bad situation. No good can
come out of further fighting.

A blind man never sees anything he

Watches and rivers seldom run long

The baggageman doesn't stop trunk

The boy who is afraid he will never

Blessed is the man who truly rejoices in

A woman may have faith in a man, but
she seldom believes more than half he

1t is better to have failed in a great I'M

Last OF them all--thou pretty blue bios

Growing on hillside and down by the

By the long feace-row, and close by the
roadside,
In bright sunny nook.
Where are those hosts of the flowers that
We're scattered
All Ger the fields and deep in the wood $

Butter-eup, violet, and the sweet cow-slip,
Down in the glade.
They have all gone-they which were
earth's adornment:
They have all gone-yes,, yes-every one!
Sad place the earth is indeed, without
flowers
To bask in the sun.
But thou art here, as it Were, to give one
more
Bright space of beauty before winter
strong
Sweeps on the earth, and by hard, cruel
letters,
Win hush the brooks song.
Lifting thy head high up so thy bright

And to remind us that still there is beauty
Though all seeming pass

In bright sunny nook.

THE FALL MIGRATIONS.

rush of wings through the darkening
A sweep through the air in the distant
height.
Fag off we hear them cry, answering cry;
IT'S the voice Of the birds as they south
ward fly.
From sea to sea, as if marking the time,
Comes the beat of wings from the long
dark line.
o strong, steady wing, with your rhythmic
beat
Flying from cold to the summertime heat;
o keen glancing eye that can see so far,
DO you guide your flight by the northern
star?
The birds from the North are crossing the
moon,
And the southland knows they are coming
soon.
With gladness and freedom and music
gone,
Another migration is passing on.
No long, dark lines DER the face of the
moon;
No dip of wings in the southern lagoon.
No sweet. low litter, no welcoming song;
These are birds of silence that sweep
along.
I4ifeless and stiff, with the death mark on
1t,
This Fall Migration on hat and bonnet.
And the crowd goes by, with so few to
care
For this march of death of the fowls Of
the air.
A bier for dead birds-has it come to
that
Must this be our thought of woman S

THE LANTERNS OF ST. EULALIE

BY Bliss Carman.
In the October afternoon,
Orange and purple and maroon,
Goes quiet Autumn, lamp in hand,
About the appie-colOred land,
To light in every apple-tree
The lanterns of ST. Eulalie.
They glimmer in the orchard shades
Like fiery opals set in jade
Crimson and russell and raw gold,
Yellow and green and scarlet old.
And o, when I am far away
BY foaming reef or azure bay,
In crowded street or hot lagoon,
Or under the strange Austral moon
When the Inconsistencies comes on me
For the great marshes by the sea,
The running bikes, the trimming tide
And the dark frs on Fundy side,
In dream once more / shall behold,
Like spiral lights those globes of gold,
Hung out in every apple-tree-
The lanterns of ST. Eulalie.
