Evening.

Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away:
Free from care. from labor free.
Lord, 1 would commune with thee.
Thou. whose all-pervading eye.
Naught escapes. without, within.
Pardon each inflrmity,
Open fault and secret sin.
Soon. for me. the light of day
Shall forever pass away:
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me. Lord, to dwell with thee.
Thou, who. s%inless. yet hast known
All Of mans infirmity;
Then from thine eternal throne.
Jesus, look with plying eye.

FAMOUS SPEECHES.
On Free Speech in Parliament and

Congress.
DURING the War of the Revolution, when
the infant colonies of this country were
struggling for existence. every member
upon this floor knows what terrible an
athemas were hurled against the British
Government by Chatham. Burke. Fox.
Sheridan and other distinguished orators
in the British Parliament. Their language
has never been equaled in severity by
anything that has been said by any rren-
Der on this floor, and yet who ever heard
of a resolution introduced for their expul-
sion? .
Sir. in a free country like ours, Is no
latitude of debate allowed. is not discus
sion to be as broad as it is under a mon
archical Government. in the Parliament Of
Great Britain? Sir. there Is no subject on
which a people are more sensitive than
that Of free speech. 1t is regarded. and
justly 90, as one Of the bulwarks of lib
erty. and any attempts to abridge it-and
especially in these halls-must be, as it
ought to be. condemned by the American
people.

House of Representatives. April Il. 1851,
against eXpelling Congressman Long OF

Is hers thy counterpart
Throbs It like thee?

The spot where first We met,
Which I shall ne'er forget,
Loves she like me?
Soft echoes still repeat
Loves she like me?"
When on that messy seat,
Beneath the tree.

Where lambkins round me play,
And whispering zephyrs say.
Loves she like me?

Loves she like me?
With her in dreams I stray
Ger mead and lea
My hopes of earthly bliss
Are all comprised in this.
To share her nuptial kiss
Loves she like me?
Does absence give her pain?
Loves she like me-?
And does she thus arraign
Fortunes decree?
Does she my name repeat?
Will she with rapture greet
The hour that sees us meet?
Loves she like me?

Robert Herrick was born in London in
1881. He was a student at Cambridge. took
orders. and was presented by Charles 1 to
the living of Dean Prior in Devonshire In
1919. He was deprived of his living by
Cromwell in 16is. He then returned to Lon
don and lived in retirement. believing his
connection with the church to be wholly
severed. but on the restoration of Charles
II. in 1860. he was reinstated in his living.
which he held until his death. about the
year 1914. He was eminent both as a divine
and as a poet. His poems are chiefly secu-
lar and many very light. but 1t Is as the
author of them that he Is chiefly re-
membered, although he wrote some verses
on sacred subjects. Almost all his poems
are very short. but they are highly finished.
and many are among the very best Of their
kind
