HAPPY DAYS.

Doyn on the quiet ground,
When l hear the grass-bugs chirp at my

And the end of a distant sound.
| love the world when the wind blows,
When il losses my hair about.
When my hat blows off, and my ribbons
crack,
And | laugh and run and shout.
| love the world when the rain falls,
When the streets are all mud and ooze.
When l need my umbrella and mackin-
tosh,
And my shiny. new oyershoes.

world,
Every day, every hour and minute,
L could &c on living forever and never
Grow weary of anything in it.

This eminence occupied the same re-

Bunker Hill occupied OF the north, and
next to that more famous spot, was the

Idaho they would have more than
doubled the population of the State.
Nevada would be mo than twice as

Trainmen pass a rigid examination
to ascertain whether or not they are
color-blind. 1t is fortunate that ad-
mission to no profession or occupa-
ton is conditioned on our being free
from beauty-blindness. Years ago
Lowell wrote two lines in the big
low Papers" which made a certain
young disciple Of the poet blush at her
own ignorance.
Red cedars blossom, tn, though few folks
know it,
An look all dipt in sunshine like a poet
Sure enough, red cedars do blossom
every spring! In the inimitable Gran
ford" Mr.. Holbrook bursts forth to his
guests: Now what color are ash
buds in March? What color are they,
l say?" I'm sure 1 don't know, SIR
said the visitor. II knew you didn't.
No more did IAN old fool that l am!
till this young Mr.. Tennyson comes
and tells me. Black as ash-buds In
March. And I've lived all my life in
the country. More shame for me not
to know! Black; they are jet-black,
madam" 1t would be easy to add
other instances to prove that half the
world is beauty-blind. How many
Of us know that shadows on the snow
are blue. Or that the sunset has
sometimes the green light that Cole
ridge saw? Or
That moon-shadows from the swayinl
limb
Here are sharp and there are dim?
OF course a sense for beauty Is offer
dependent upon a sense for color, and
for these lighter touches of Dame Ma
ture keen observation is needed that
we may really taste the pleasure they
wait to give. To live among the
beauties of the world and to be blind
to them is as pathetic as to perish of
thirst in sight of a clear, cool spring.
That we do not know we are thirsty
only deepens the tragedy.

What has become of the old-time.
dignified oratory that could d%enounce,
implore or cruelty in the choicest Of
dignified language? Is it possible that
the people who assemble nowadays to
listen to campaign speeches would not
understand or appreciate a higher
grade of language? Perish the thought.
The trouble is with those who attempt
to crate. Grace, dignity and force Of
language may be a gift, but 1t takes
time to cultivate the gift and the
modern politician does not think il
worth while. There is economy of
time in using the weapon Samson
welded and who can successfully
deny its effectiveness when both sides
use 1t and the counting of the votes
always shows that Philistines have
been slain by the thousands?
