GRAvEYARTUF CENTURIES

Written by NJ. Work.
We dig thy grave in the Isle Of the
Past,
Away from the noises of men.
We lay thee down where the Said and
the Done
Lie low with the Neyer-again.
We cover thee DER with glory and
shame
All earned in the reign of thy years;
Each sod of fame bears the kiss of our
pride,
The sins bear the moisture Of tears.
We mark the spot with the legend or
name
Which tells of thy greatest and best,
To shine far off to the men on the
shore,
That they may be guided and
blessed.
Then sail we back to the living and
life,
And leave thee in peace with the
dead
Back where the world atnew Century's
feet
Lays jewels she took from thy head.
A selfish world in haste may forget,
But men dO1Iot leave thee alone;
Their mem'ries kneel on the green Of
thy grave.
Till Death stretches green on their
own.
Rest thee in peace by the side of the
years
That lie Ii the hush of the past
Till Time, worn out, in a tottering
barque
Draws in at the isle and makes
fast.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
No girl can be sleepy and feel ro-
mantle at the same time.
The main use some wives have for a
husband is to blame things on.
Marriage is the milk-puneh of life
and babies are the GLOVES in it.
A young woman may blush sweetly
till she is 20; after that she simply
gets red and looks uncomfortable.
The first time a girl is proposed to
her feet get cold; the second time her
nose gets hot; the third time shecries;
the fourth time she forgets everything
else to hold on to him.
