a SAD YEAR.

The following lines were written IN
1857 by Harriet Beecher Stowe on the
death of her son Henry:
One year-one year-one little year,
And so much gone!
And yet the even flow Of life
Moves calmly on.
Where hast thou been this year, be
loved
What hast thou seen?
What visions fair, what glorious life?
Where hast thou been?
The veil, the veil, so thin so strong
'Twixt us and thee!
The mystic veil, when shall it fall
That we may see?
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone
But present still.
And waiting for the coming hour
OF Gods sweet will.
Lord of the living and the dead.
Our Savior dear,
We lay in silence at thy feet
This sad, sad year.

Who can doubt the educative effect
Of these architectural lessons within
the hearts Of the American people?
1t is, however, not enough to have
evoked, like mirage floating over the
plains, these phantasmagorial delights
which ill our lives with joy and our
memories with dreams. The president
of the French republic in the decree
which laid the foundation of the expo
sition Of 1900 declared the purpose Of
that great enterprise to be "a presenta-
ton of the works of art and of indus
trial and agricultural product" as
semblage of exhibits. That is without
doubt the central, the formative. idea
OF the Pan-American Exposition.
Without exhibits there can be no ex.

place not in which anybody will learn
all Il can oGer. but in which anybody
may enlarge the scope Of his informa-

position can realize this criterion Of
