THE JOURNALS POETS.
Sing Your Song.


II you have heard a wistful voice
Come calling thro' your heart,
Why do you coldly turn away?
oh, listen gladly while you may
To songs that sing TO you to-day
To learn their easy part.
Some little songs be shy or sad
With tender sentiment
Oh, hear them for their own sweet sake,
Or, for the pity they awake.
Lest all their heart and hope should break
And leave you to repent.
Yet other melodies of mirth.
Or ballads quaint and dear.
Speak sweetly to our loneliness
With all the joy song can express.
Or love its sacrifice confess
To have and hold US near.
And some are songs of victory
Above the battle cry,
Whose martial measures madly thrill
The passions only blood can still
Yet Peace shall come the world to drill
When Passions tears are dry.
OF all the songs the years have sung
This is the sweetest lay;
The music of heart so clear
1t never knows the voice of fear,
And lives for love--to bring its cheer
Into each sweeter day.
So. II you hear joyful tune
Or one more sad than gay,
Just help the other voice along, =
Tho be it small. sweet and strong.
Oh, don't resist the struggling song
But sing IL while you may.

DUKES COME HIGH.
But American Heiresses Must Have
Them at Any Price.

New York Press.
Just what settlement Miss Goelet will
make on the Duke of Roxburghe, her fiance.
has not been announced and friends of the
Goelets are guessing what portion of Miss
Mays great wealth will be handed over to
the dukes solicitors. From all indications
81 1000. the sum Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish says
'the Goelets paid for their duke" is nearly
the amount. The duke. on his own account,
has about 10000 year. and part of this
sum will be transferred to the future duch-
ess. But this is mere drop In the bucket
compared to Miss Goelet's wealth.
Her private fortune Is about 100000 ex-
elusive of her interest in the estate and
that of her mother. For the last seven
years she has been receiving an income Of
100000 a year. and $4,000 will be paid on
the day of her marriage. When Miss Goelet
was twenty-one years old 100000 reverted
to her from her fathers estate, but this
division will not be made until Mrs Ogden
Goelet's death. The widow OF Mrs. Goelet
has S150.090 a year and the use of two New
port houses and the Fifth-avenue mansion.
She has no money in her own name, but she
may save from her generous allowance. 1t
is heard on every hand that Robert Goelet,
Miss Goelet's brother who arrived here from
Europe yesterday. does not favor the pay
ment of a lump sum to Roxburghe. The will
OF Ogden Goelet is worded so carefully that
the executors could not pay to the duke
much more than $2,000,0 900, the accumula-
ton Of Miss Goelets income.

My uncle supposed at first that it must
be trap to catch him. AS soon as the poor
fellows were fed and their feet bound up,
he FASTENED to get his wagon and drive
them to the next underground station. But
the expected searching party never came.
No inquiries were made, and the slaves
were never recaptured. 1t was clear that
the young men must have acted out of pure
humanity, going contrary to their political
principles and sacrificing the reward and
the glory of the exploit, from Christian
sympathy with the suffering they actually
saw"

The Afterglow.

When the carnival is over,
Natures carnival of bloom,
Fields of fruitage, corn and clover,
Spill and spend their rich perfume,
And the forest trees have sprinkled
Their confetti far and wide,
Till shower of rainbow colors
Floods the vale and mountain side;
And the merry winds run riot
over hills and meadows sere,
Then we know the reign of quiet
Comes apace to crown the year.
When youths carnival of pleasures,
Hopes. ambitions. loves and shows.
Ends, and springs poetic cadence
Lapses into solemn prose.
When the rosy skies of summer
Lose their glow In autumn haze.
And life-blood pulses slower
With the shortening OF the days,
We await while winds Of winter
Chill the world with icy breath
Till our eyes behold the morning
Break beyond the vale OF death.

To-Day.

Two men just passed on the busy street,
Each going his separate way,
And one OF the men was the Man Who Dreams
And his mate was the man To-day.
And the gaze of the eyes of the dreaming man
Were dreamingly fixed afar,
And the mans VINO walks in the world Of Now
Were bright with the Things that Are.
And one man nveth his life To-day
One calleth dream life his;
And Might Have Been is the man who dreams,
But toileth the Man Who Is.
