Golcenrod. and Memories.

From fsr- off blue Wisconsin hills,
There came a gift of flowers to me,
With prisoned sunlight in their depths.
And fragrance sweet of field and treo.
They spoke of days long passed away,
OF hazy- golden autumn ewes.
OF moonlight filtered softly down
Through canopies of yellow leaves.
And like fair ghosts. for years laid low,
Come back to haunt familiar ways,
There rose to mind the fairy dreams
Woven in long gone childish days;
Dreams great with noble deeds and true;
OF hard-won fame and wealth and
power;
And who shall say the ripe years
But mock that golden fairy dover?
For speaks a living voice, as from
The perfumed flowers my friend has
sent;
The visions of the child are true,
For what is wealth but sweet Content
Lo Better than the fairies pelf,
The hard-earncd wage of honest men:
The noblest deeds are every days,
Done bravely. once and yet again.
Power? 1t is ours. above kings.
And godlier than exalts a throne.
II we but make a single life
The brighter, that it's next our own.
The soul that rules its living Self
Is mightier than a scepter's sway.
The fairy realm Of childish dreamsi
It lies about us every day.

Even the Artist Was Not Sue

Many of the pictures of Whistler.
the artist, are vague both in treatment
and subject One night he was dining
with Henry Irving. so the story goes.
Two of Whietler's pictures adorned
the walls. and ue wished no further
entertainment than the study Of these.
At very short intervals during the
meal he took occasion to rise from his
seat and take close observation OF
them.
After studying the paintings in this
way for some time, he exclaimed.
Irving, Irving, look what you've
done"
Whats the matter?" asked Irving
calmly.
'Matter?" thundered Wh,stler,
"why, the matter is that these pic.
lures have been hung upside down.
and you have never noticed it. l
suppose they have hung that way for
months"
Il suppose they have replied Irv-
ing; but think might be excused.
since it has taken you-the man whd
painted them-over an hour to die

one of the >>est known pianists in New
York.
He fairly revslel in the wonders
which she showed him. 1t took lin
half an hour to look his fill at the
Flatiron building. He crossed Broad
way forty-seven times just because
some one in the home town said that
he'd get run over sure if he did it.
He wandered into the niece's stu
dio about o'clock so tired he could
hardly see.
ITS been the greatest day of my
life, Kitty, tae greatest day." he said,
but I've saved up the best till the
last. We've been hearing for years
about the wonders of your pianer play

She played something of strenuous
finger movement, climbed all over the
keyboard and back again. Then she
turned to receive his verdict.
"Well, Kitty" he drawled, II al
