have been attending the National
League of Commission Merchants. ar
rived home yesterday from Louisville,
KY, where the league held it's conven-

a narrow escape from drowning in the

pass beneath a low arch which spans
the river, the boat began to sink and
some one yelled jump In order to
pass beneath the arch all of us had to
bend very low, and this, 1 suppose,

WITH THE BIRDS.

Long years ago, one sunny day
Alas, how dim and far away
That bright day now appears
Companionless and lonely, l.
For pastime, watched the clouds go by,
As since have gone the years.
/ wandered where the brook leaped down
Its rocky channel by the town
In foamy, ceaseless flow;
] saw wild pigeons rise and fly,
Like arrows, cleaving the bright sky,
Shot from an archer's bow.
] heard the wood doves plaintive note,
AS softly, from her FURNISHED throat,
1t melted on the breeze;
/ heard the plover's joy-notes ring
Across the pasture, quavering,
And die among the trees.
Two little wrens were building near
Their downy nest, where every year
They came to build and sing;
They seemed to love the spot, and there,
Their tender song, soft as a prayer,
Breathed welcome to the spring.
The morning long 1 watched them weave,
With patient care, beneath the cave,
Their soft and downy home;
/ heard them sing their tender lay,
Their song of hope, that some near day
Nestlings would to It come
And | see now, what then saw
But vaguely, that one common law
Rules birds as well as men;
And glowing warm in every breast
Is that home-love, the first and best,
Which bids us build the dear home nest,
As doth the little wren.
