The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-27
Out & About

Unnoted in my garden blooms
A lone, belated rose.
No other flower there presumes
Its radiance to disclose.
No butterfly, with graceful wing,
Salutes it 'mongst the fair;
Yet June day memories round 1t
cling,
Though frost is in the air.
All, foolish rose-tc waste your
charm
Upon a careless world
The wiser blossoms took alarm,
With petals long since furled.
Yet they who know the world of life
VIII prize you DER the rest,
Who lightly smiled when smiles were
rife,
And fed at winters test.
When fortune CLEANS with balny
cheer
Across the toilsome way,
Fond f1attery blossoms far and near
And glids the passing day
But tits the love that does not part
When chill disaster blows
That I would press unto my heart
Close, with the autumn rose.
Washington Star.

John N. Anderson of Boston ad-
dressed about 100 of the Junior En-
deavorers of Worcester, in the vestry
of Piedmont Church, yesterday after
noon, on the work of the floating hos
pital that does so much during the
heated term in summer in relieving
the distress of the little ones who live
in the congested districts of the big
city Mr.. Anderson talked in an enter
tanning manner to his audience of lit
tie folks, telling them many interesting
stories of sea life and contrasting the
freedom of the air and light they en-
joy with the squalor and darkness
that cost so many young lives in the
big cities. In order to give these lit
tie ones whose parents cannot afford
to take them into the country or to
the beach, outings, the floating hos
pitfalls have been established and the
little ones taken where they can get
plenty of fresh air. The ships are
fitted up like hospitals, with wards and
nurses on board, and everything pos
sible is done to save the lives of the
sick children.
Leon H. Vincent gave the concluding
lecture of the course last night in
Union Church chapel His subject was
American Humor." AS in his former
ectures Mr.. Vincent captivated the
audience by his grace of style and de-
livery, and his remarks carried with
them a frequent incentive to laughter.
He took up the American school of
lumoT, beginning with ARENAS Ward
and ending with Mark Twain. The pc
euliarities of each humorist were
and examples of their
style cited.
Among other things it was said that
every writer who has won distinction
as a humorist has been a philosopher
rs well as a fun-maker. No American
lumorist has achieved real fame with
tut the essential qualities of truth and
Philosophy. This is seen in the writ
ngs of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Mark
Twain, Bill Nye, ARENAS Ward and
lanes Russell Lowell.
The course of lectures given in Union
church chapel and concluded last
light were for the purpose of raising
money to be appropriated to the cause
# missions in home and foreign fields.
