Hi, Ronald! Come down from that dance in the air!
Hey, Lais! Have done with your frolckng therei
Come show your best for the Lady Claire!
Gently there! gently! Now steady! So, so!
All, grandly, my beauties! Well let the boys know
What it means to come up with pair that CO.
Ha Ha Lady Claire! the bays in air!
They could tro with the blacks fair and square,
And there go the grays off their feet over there.
Great Scott but they're both coming up the rum
Hold tight, little Claire, this things just begun
They shall have all the running they wish ere they're done
Go, Ronald Go! Go, Lais Away!
Great heavens Just see Willie Ford's cutter sway.
Get on, my black beauties! Get there, say!

And never dwelt soul so white and fair,
With the sweetness to love and the courage
to dare,
In a form so fragile and slender.
I had loved little Claire since long ago
But never a word had spoken;
The dear, wlnsome creature, she frightened
me so,
For l feared that, perhaps, she might an
swer me, No,
And the charm of my life be broken.
I scarcely could fancy 1t really true
That there a my side she was sitting,
In my gay little cutter all fresh and new
With its golden stripping, and built for two,
Through the Christmas moonlight fitting.
I was driving along in a quiet way
With never a thought of speeding,
Trying to think of something to say,
Though the horses were fresh and full OF
play,
And the blacks, as usual, leading.
The lights shone out on the glittering snow
With Christmas cheer and greeting,
Giving a glimpse, in the firelight's glow,
OF slvery heads and heads OF tow
Ger Christmas bounties meeting.
We were just turning into the Norfolk Pike
Where it joins the road to Pentlever,
Where it stretches away to the Cambridge
dixie,
Broad and level and arrow-like,
And smooth as a frozen river.
I was furtiveIy watching the radiant flush
Up into Claire's cheek come creeping,
When the bays and the grays drew up with
a rush,
And the six all abreast, for a bit of brush,
Came into the wide road sweeping.

We're making beautiful, beautiful run,
And the blacks blood will tell before we are done.

My soul little one that bad place.
Those bays when the blacks set the pace.
Now carefully, Claire mind child, how you sit,
I'm going to touch up the blacks just bit.
Not afraid, my brave girl? Not whit mot whit?
Hi you black phantoms! Get away y!-Get away
My life! how they go This has passed beyond play.

Hurrah, you wild beauties! Hurrah there say!

IN QUIET WATERS.
Japanese Cabinet Is Sailing Since AEr.
Hoshi's RESIGNATION.

Yokohama, Jan. 26.-Wfth the resig-
nation of Mr.. Hoshi the unpopular min
lister, the new cabinet is sailing IN quiet
waters just now, though what may hap
pen when parliament meets on the Goth
instant is matter of interesting sup
position. Hopes are entertained, how
ever, that Marquis Ito's ability will be
amply sufficient to keep his party in
tact, and people are beginning to
prophesy a long life to the present ad-
ministration. This is devoutly to be
wished in view Of the necessity Of Japan
having a firm ana practical hand at the
present juncture to guide her over the
international difference arising from the
Chinese question. Her position has been
exceedingly modest and from Pekln
there comes little but praise Of her de-
meanor. There seems to be little or
nothing of the "cockiness'' which was 50
much complained Of after the Chinese
Japan war. The nation evidently feels
very sensitively it's position as the
youngest in the family Of the great
powers keeping itself indeed so much in
the background that many Of its friends
are wishing that it would assert itself
little more decidedly, 1t being felt that
its superior knowledge OF things Orien-
tai should be by far the most important
factor in bringing about solution Of the
Chinese question.
It seems somewhat odd that Japan
which has so long been yainly trying
to introduce foreign capital. should now
be In the lists as possible lender
Korea Is negotiating loan OF seven
million yen from one of the leading
banks of Toxic, and the project waits
only some sort Of a guarantee from the
government to become a success.
Now that the festivities OF the New
Year season, lasting an entire week, are
over there is a prospect Of the much
needed revival of business. The uni
versaI clearing up Of accounts on Janu-
airy / of each year, a habit and ira
dition which amounts almost to a fever
has resulted in fewer business failures
than was anticipated The prospect Of
peace in China has already stimulated
activity, and the outlook for both native
and foreign commercial circles is be-
coming daily more encouraging.

There is nothing better or grander than
