You start up Yankee Doodle" and I'm

There's somethln' in its snappy dash that

OF what there is a-beatin' in a Yankee fel-
ler's heart.
There's somethip' In It's life and go that
thrills yer through and through
And seems ter 1T the colors OF the old
Red. White and Blue"
Until yer want ter tell the flag a-wavin'
there sublime:
1--WE harked to Yankee Doodle and I'm
with yer every time"
It's what they played at Yorktown when
CORVALLIS met his check.
It's what they sung in triumph on the
Constitutions" deck.
II timed the feet a-marchln' from Atlanta
to the Sea,
And rung a AppomattoI round the famous
apple-tree.
And when a soldier heard st. in the battles

His sword beat Yankee Doodle" on the

And now they say they need US once ag'in

And make a llvin' breastwork round the

Wherever Mrs, Browning trod, what
ever she touched, became endowed with
the sacredness of her presence. When
Mr.. Browning returned with her on
visit to England, after an absence Of
several years, he repaired to the little
church In which they had been married,
and there, at the entrance, he revcrently
kneeled and kissed the paving stones
upon which she, the light Of his being,
had stepped. And in after years, when
the light had gone from his life, he
sought this sacred spot on the twelfth
OF each September, and in the dusk OF
the evening shadows passtrs-hy might
have seen a whitc-hairod man kneeling
for a moment as il in prayer before the
doorway Of the dark and silent church,
Vet little would they have thought to
recognize In this man the poet Brown
ing; he whose mystical writings had
led the world to regard him as man OF
austerc uaturc.-CliiIord Howard, in
