hush is on the air to-day,
A silence DER all the flowers;
As they softly list to a tale.
The butterfly brings to their bowers,
Summer u deadi Summer is dead!
The brooklet sings DER its pebbles white.
In cadence Of sad monotone;
Where there was melody yester cen.
Now, there Is only ahaif broken moan,
As it sobs o'er its pebbled bed,
Summer Is deadI summer is dead!
Summer is dead! Why only last eve,
We sat on the long low stoop,
where the blush rose her fra9rance breathe,
And the eglantine branches droop,
But there 10 hueh since somebody said
Summer ia deadI summerjs dead!
The land is seen with withered dead;
So are the hllios we loved so we'll;
oh, why must they die, when they thould be
ripe
And never be garnered, who can tell1
Hush! For even the bells with tones Of dread
solemnly tolleth, Summer is dead!
Summer is dead! How often her voice

Reviewed in our memory some tender song,
In the hush Of the twilight hours.

A PEACE TALK.
Lord Kitchener Had One With the
Burghers at Pretoria

Burghers at Pretoria
London, Jan. 4.-The censorship has
just permitted news of the following
peace tentatives tot emenate from Pre-
toria.
About the middle of December a num-
Der Of prominent burghers who had sub
mltted and We're living in the Pretoria.
district formed a peace committee. Mr..
Van Renysberg, a former member Of the
first VOlksraad of the TranSvaal was
elected president of the committee. which
include other many former members of
the Volksraad. The committee resolved
to attempt negotiations and accordingly
II response to q suggestion. Lord
committee December q. and addressed
the meeting.
He said he was glad to meet a COM
mittee DESTROYS of bringing the war to
speedy conclusion and he assured
them that they could rely upon his as
sistance in every way calculated in ev-
cry way to further that object. He pro-
ceeded to point out the folly of con-
tinuance of guerrilla. warfare since thte
British government would never permit
the establishment Of the Boer gov
eminent.
Mr.. Chamberlain's statements in par
lament, Lord Kitchener contended,
clearly showed that there was no wish
to Cypress the burghers. On the con-
trary the British proposals foreshadow-
ed an enlightened government in which
the burghers would have q prominent
share, insuring the rights of property
and the ancient laws and customs of the
burghers
Lord Kitchener urged that 1t was use
less to continue the present inhuman
struggle. pointing out that the powers
had refused Mr.. Kruger's requests for
Intervention The burghers, he said. had
fought a. good fight, but they had been
overpowered, and there was no dis
honor in the leaders recognizing that
fact. He reminded them that there were
hosts of BOer prisoners, waiting to be
restored to their families.
Referring to his proclamations to the
country, Lord Kitchener said that un-
fortunately these had not been allowed
to reach the burghers and he trusted
that the committee would make known
the facts to the Boers in the field, as ne
desired to give them every chance to
