Lament

It hath been said, for all who die
There is a tear.
Some pining. bleeding heart to sigh
Der ev'ry bier:
But IN that hour OF pain and dread
Who will draw near
About my humble couch n shed
One farewell tear?
What mourner round my bier will como
In weeds OF woe
And follow me to my long home.
Solemn and slow;
At early morn implant Q rose
Above my breast,
And bid It cheer my last repose-
My lonely rest7
Gould I but know when I am sleeping
Low in the ground.
Some faithful friend would there b keep
ing
watch all night round
Would come and sit and sing to me
In night'0 deep gloom.
.fwould mitigate the pangs OF death
And light the tomb!
But, ah! A lonelier fate 10 mine /.
A deeper woe:
From all Nv loved in youths sweet time
/. 1 soon must 90
And draw round me my robes ef white
In q dark spot.
10 sleep through. deaths long. dreamless
night
Lone ana forget

NV Native Land.

I've foved over mountain, rye crossed over
floods,
I've traversed tho wide, rolling sand.
Tho the fields were as green and the moon
shone as bright,
Yet It was not my own native land.
CHORUS.
No, no, no, no, no. no.
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Tho the fields were as green and the moon
shone as bright,
Yet 1t was not my own, native land.
The right hand Of friendship how oft 1
have grasped.
And bright eyes have smiled looked
bland.
Yet happier far were the hours that I
passed
In the West in my own native land.
No, no, no, no, no. no,
No, no, no. no, no. no.
Yet happier far were the hours that I
passed
In the West in my " native land.
Then hail. dear Columbia. the land that
We love;
Where fourishes liberty's tree.
'Tis the birthplace Of freedom. our W
native home.
IT'S the land, tits the, land. Of the free.
Yes. yes. yes. yes, yes, yes.
Yes. yes. yes, yes. yes. yes.
sTis the birthplace OF freedom, our own
native home.
sTis the land, it's the LAM Of the free.

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
Paris, April 15.-One of the dainty
touches of the costume is the veil, often
n difficult feature Of the toilet. 1t is an
addition to an outdoor costume. Making
INQUIRIES a day or two ago about what Is
the latest novelty in wells, / was told at
Virot's that the dotted veil was the new
est. To prove it the obliging salesman
brought out a veil with rather large
meshes and large dots. The dots were
black on one side and white on the other.
OF course 1 wanted to know how it
should be worn. A pretty model put 1t
on. To be most effective the veil mus
be worn with a black or dark hat. Over
the face the dots were arranged with the
black side out, but I've the hair and hat
the veil was draped so as to show the
white side of the dots. 1t was a novel
and charming arrangement.

Neckwear is especially attractive now.
A large ruche of taffeta silk in various
shades Of lavender caught the eye. The
lighter shades of the silk were placed so
as to be nearest the face. The ruche
was finished off at either end with flying
streamers. Afrill of the daintiest white
tulle was attached to the ruche on the
under side and gave a soft and misty
effect, very becoming to any face.
Among the new hats D was seen OF
an odd design. 1t was made Of a l of
straw that reminded me of curls of pine
shavings. 1t was trimmed with velvet
bows and tinted leaves.
Dainty waists and blouses are much IN
evidence. One Of pale lemon linen has a
large collar Of cluny lace with designs

But Yesterday.

NV God, will the grim shadows darken.
Which loom above my way?
When I look for a bright tomorrow.
I find a yesterday.
A day with memories haunted.
With naught but burning tears
There's nothing left to cheer me
But songs Of vanished years.
I've worked for all the worlds sweet glory
But, oh!-GreaO GodI pray,
In accents loud. aye and 30 piercing.
Just give me yesterday.
That I may toll and labor on
And live alone for thee.
LEAD. Kindly Light" thy guiding hand
To paths I canno see.
Where II It? Pause We and listen
For the fall Of its footstep to hear,
We long for its beauty and splendor,
Yet see but the CLEAN Of q tear
We kneel where dim faces Of loved one3
Swoon from our sight far away
For out on LIES rugged ocean
We grasp for Yesterday.
The past - past: the day 10 done.
Still storm clouds pave the way,
In trusting faith I grope along
With thoughts OF Yesterday.
The PAST within bis mercy lies
