he Looked 10 the Light.

He looked at the light forever when
the shadow dimmed his eyes;
Singin' ever a song o. sunshine when
the rain was i'm the skies;
In the drearicst dawn O. winter he
had ever a dream O. May:
'"The light is there, in the darkness
O, the light will shine some dayv'
What to him were the shadows? They
were ever fast in flight!
The world thought of heaven in that
beautiful dream of light!
And what the tllorns that Redeemed
forever along the ways,
When he saw the later roses that come
with the brighter days?
O Light Of Love! be with us when we
reach the wales that seem
To cast a dreary shadow over Life's
sweetest dream!
Sing to us of dcathlcss dawn, o deep,
enduring Light!
Where the stars of Morning sing to
God. And there is no more Night!

Some Sweet Day.

Into all lives some rain must fall
Into all eyes some tcardrops start,
Whether they fall as a gentle shower,
Or fall like fire from an aching heart.
Into all hearts some sorrow must
creep,
Into all souls some doubtings come,
Lashing the waves of lifc's great deep
From dimpling waters to soothing
Over all paths some clouds must lower,
Under all feet some sharp thOrns
spring,
Tearing the flesh to bitter wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bit
ter sting,
Upon all brows rough winds must
blow,
Over all shoulders Il cross be lain,
Bowling the form in it's lofty height
Down to the dust in bitter pain.
Into all hands some duty's thrust;
Unto all arms some burdens given,
Crushing the heart with it's weary
weight,
Or lifting the soul from earth to
heaven.
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunlight comes streaming
down,
Gliding the ruins of life's great plain
Weaving for all golden crown.

The Ghosts of Battle

''-And some beheld the faces of old
ghosts look in upon the battlc."-
Morte U.Arthur
The twilight on the fighting plain
Why comes it on SO fast?
1t is the rolling battle smoke,
Down like Il garment cast!
1t is the shadowing flight of souls
That from the field have passed!
Their bodies strew the fighting plain
The dead and dying blent-
The dead that know not yet of death.
$50 late their flame was spenty
And dying ones who turned to see
Who heard them as they Went!
And shades of heroes gone, that haunt
All fields where men shall fight,
From living lips the war cry snatch,
And answer from the height;
Or stoop to battle. looming huge
Amid the murky light!
And souls that soon shall fecting be
Through portals gaping wide,
The mortal wound no longer heed;
For each decries a Guide
y Reckoning Hand-a Voice., Face,
For him, and none beside!

Thy mother-close by thee I've stood
Since dawned this crimson morn!
AS from thy childish foot 1 drew
The deep embedded thorn
See now! draw from thee the pain

"Thy comrade-long estranged from
thee,
Whom thou couldst not forget
Now we may speak since this last cup
The mutual lip hath wet;
Come up, and see the struggling plain
From heavens bright parapet"

Thy love, thy only love. that pinned
Since war had thee in plight

Though hidden from thy sight!

The souls from thence released
Awhile they fingered there in speech,

The Sunset Bell.

Across the fields of toll there fall
The notes of yonder sunset bell;
To prayer it's pleading accents call;
The hard hands slacken at it's spell,
Dark faces bend in rapturous prayer
And Gods own presence calms the air.
Hard was the task and long the day,
Two hearts, that each the others
toll,
Pity, what can they do but pray,
Above the black and labored soil,
When like a note from heavens own
towers
The soft bell wakes those evening
hours?
Calm, dewy eve and saffron sky
And holy notes that breathe around
Tell that the eurths reposc is nigh.
Some eve an Angelus shall sound
With deeper welcome to their ears,
10 end life's struggle, sweat and tears.

and unqualified support to the Republi-
can national ticket. The Pilot seems
to be moved mainly by its approval and
admiration of President Roosevelt's pub
lie acts in his twenty years Of public
life. 1t declares that mo man can point
to a single act of his, public or private,
influenced by prejudice of race or creed
or color except prejudice in favor Of the
poor, the oppressed or the despised."
The change in the party alignment of
this influential Irish-American journal is
significant. 1t is an instance and evi-
dence of the change which has been go
ing on for twenty years which has di-
yided between two great political parties
the Irish Catholic vote, which formerly
was almost solidly Democratic. The
Democratic party was well served by the
KnowNothing craze which swept the
country for a very brief period fifty years
ago. This drove the foreign-born voters,
the great majority Of whom at that time
were Irish Catholics, into the Democratic
party because it was opposed to the
KnowNothings. When the organization
and ideas of the latter disappeared from
the face Of the earth the Democratic
party retained the advantage which it
urally joined the political organization
TO which their friends and the other
members of their race belonged. A
great many Irishmen broke away from
their old moorings and voted for Blaine
in 1884, and have remained with the
Republican party ever since. These will
vote for Roosevelt this year, and the
Boston lot points out why other Irish
- ~ ~
The Iris has race have fourished and
grown strong in this country. They have
improved their condition in many ways.
They have gained wealth. They have
displayed a genius for politics and have
found here their opportunity to make the
most Of it. A generation ago they were
making our railroads and doing the
rough and heavy work of the country
generally. Now immigrants from the
south and east of Europe fill the role of
day laborers for the most part, while the
Irish are more likely to be found super
intending the job. They have prospered
and grown with the growth of the coun-
try, and as they perceive that this coun-
try has been for over forty years, ex
cepting a very brief interval, under the
sway and dominated by the policies of
the Republican party, it is not surprising
that intelligent Irishmen are joining the
party under whose rule they have profit
ed so greatly.
There are many good reasons why
Irishmen should vote the Republican ma
tional ticket. The Pilot, however, lays
most of it's stress on one consideration,
which is that the candidate of the RepQb
lican party, Theodore Roosevelt, 'is no
fair weather friend, no favorer of any
class or creed or race, but a just man
and safe one to trust in storm or
calm"

Eugene A. Phi1bin.

: New York, Aug. 16.-Ex-District At
torney Eugene A. Philbin, a recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York, is
out for Roosevelt In explaining his po-
sition he said with regard to Roosevelt's
devotion to duty:
CHOSE who are forced to admit that
Roosevelts course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was a candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice of the people he
viii take different course.
MY personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me in no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown a willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. He is
also a shrewd politician, and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity to manage our foreign rela-
tions so that our interests will be best
subseryed."
