The tear-faded thread OF my theme,
Tellinghow, as one night was writing,

Blue eyes of the fairies of old.

To come romping in for kiss?
Come rowdying up from her mother,
And clamoring there at my knee
For 'Oue little kiss for my dolly
And one little uzzer for me-"

And the cold hand that turned her
away,
And take, from the lips that denied her,
This answer.ess prayer of to-day!

The Widening Breach.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Efforts are already making
to represent the demand for re.
ciprocity as "a free trade move
ment." The fact that Mr.. Nc.
Kluley, whose whole public
career has been devoted to
championship of the protect
i've system, now openly takes
the leadership of those favor.
ing reciprocity, proves the
delusiveness of such repre-
sensations. If any further
proof be needed, it is furnished
by the fact that Senator Plat
of Connecticut, whose devotion
to protection is uuquestioned,
has declared in favor of re-
ciprocity.
