LEO XIII.

By Theirs yellow tide,
Low the Lion of Judah lies
In the streets where Caesar died
The golden censor its incense spills
Meath Peters towering dome,
And hush is over the seven hills
OF old, imperial Rome.
He sits no more on his ancient
throne
With the triple crown he wore,
The Fisherman's ring that flashed
and shone
Cleans from his hand no more.
While Death, that waited so long
for him,
Hath passed with victor tread,
Sheathing his sword in the starlight
dim
For Leo, the Pope, is dead.
Leo is dead in the Vatican,
He is dead, and the cry will 90
Wherever wander the feet of man.
Wherever the four winds blow.
It viii still the rush of the restless
tide
Mid the cities ceaseless roar,
And wherever the ships at anchor
ride
They will signal it from shore.
The soldier will hear it upon the
walls,
1t will sound with the sentry't
cries,
And echo from Kings ancestral
halls
To the tribes meath desert skies.
And wherever men go and whatever
they be
They will stop, awhile, TO say.
As they toll on the land or sail the
sea:
Twas good man died to-day
There's a great heart stilled in
Wonder place
Mid his affairs high and dim;
Ihere was not a soul of the human
race
But bad the love of him.
Jew and Gentle, whate'er their
creed,
Or the child Of whatever land.
It was he who solaced them in
their need,
And joined them, hand in hand. |
The cry of The weak to him went
up
That he shielded from the strong, |
And he gave them to drink from
loves sweet cup,
And hesmote no thing but Wrong. |
And 50, through the alien lands
they dare,
Or sit mid the lights of home,
To-day the hearts of the world will
fare
On the roads tbat lead TO Rome.

The Saddest DaY.

In every orthodox Jewish church in the
world last Sunday was observed as the
great day. or the saddest day in the
whole Jewish calendar. The day il
known as the Black Fast, or the Fast Of
Alb, and occurs on the nluth of the fifth
month Of Alb, month which CORE.
spends roughly with the end Of July ano
the beginning of August, This day is
the anniversary of the two distinctions
of Jerusalem, the first by Nebuchad-
nezzar which resulted in the Babylonish
captivity; the second by Titus when the
Jewish nation was scattered over the
face Of the earth. Some historians de-
clare that this day is the anniversary OF
five great calamities of the Jews
Mishnah speaks of these five national
calamities. The first of these, he says
was the time the lsraelites we're doomed
to stay in the Wilderness. The second
calamity was the destruction under
Nebuchadnezzar; the third, destruction
of Jerusalem under Titus, the fourth
and fifth, the fall Of Bethar and the
drawing of the pillow over the Holy City
and over the temple year later in order
to turn the place into Roman colony
The ninth day of Alb has since been like
the day of Atonement.-Kansas City
