Capitol guides who made the
discovery were delighted. and glee-
fully made the announcement to
the outer world in the hope that
visitors would be attracted by the
news. They were, but in such
numbers rs to prove the undoing
Of the guides.
Vast crowds thronged the Cap

and this hampered the artisans,
who made complaint. The shadow

other, that the presence OF such

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.
Some reckon their age by ycar,
Some measure their life b. art;
But some tell their days By the flow Of
their tears,
And their lives by the moaus Of their
heart.
The dials OF earth may show
The length, no, the depth, Of yeap,-
Few OF many they come, Few VI many
they co.
But time is best measured by tears.
All not by the silver gray
That cfecps through the sunny hair,
Aud not by the scenes that We pass on
our way,
And no, by the burrows the fingers OF
carr
On forehead and face have made,
Not 30 do We count ouy years:
Not by the sun or the earth, bat the
shade
OF oug souls, and the tall Of our tears.
Por the young are ofttimes old,
Though their broWs be bright aud
GsiT.
While their blood beats warm, their
hearts are cold
Ger them the spring winter is
there,
And the old are oitiimes young
When their hair Is thin aud white;
Aud they sing in age as in youth they
sang,
And they laugh, for their cross was
light.
hut, bead by bead, | tell
The Rosary of my years;
From cross-to a cruss they lead; Ills

Aud they're blcst with blessing Of
tears.
Better day OF strife
Than a century OF sleep;
Give me instead Of long stream Of life
The tempcsts and tears Of the deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the billows Of ali ;hc years.
But never the foam brings the lone back
home
lie reaches the haven through tears.
