and insure efficiency the future by dividing the re-.

WILLIAM M'kINLEY.

All hushed is trafhc's strident roar,
And from the East to Western shore'
And from Alaska's frigld cline,
Comes back the throbbing funeral chime
And southwark flows to Mexico,
The herald of a Nations woe;
With tagging step and dropping head
Columbia stops beside her dead
Beside her dead about whose form
Now stilled to all life's stress and storm,
In mourning folds below above,
Is draped the banner of his love-
And he sleeps WELL across his brow
No cares shall cast their shadow now,
But all one land can bear of woe
Is now Columbia's need to know!
Fair was his lfe-an open book,
Where all who chose or cared to look
Might read and for each battle won
Find there the spur that urged him on;
hope born for the Nations veal.
That only heart like his could feel;
And now bowed down, eyes dim with grief,
Columbia weeps her fallen chief!
Nation garbed in sorrows weeds
Looks back and weighing all his deeds,
All he hath done and hoped to do
Her pent up grief bursts forth anew,
She lifts the cup, droops to her knees,
And drains it to the bitter lees!
The pageantry of woe is done,
May God receive her martyred son!
J. M, LEWIS.
