The Girls of Ireland.

There are pretty scenes in Ireland,
From Wicklow's magic wales,
10 where the sweet meandering Moy
Divides Tyrawlcy's dales:
There are tow'rs all Ger the meadows,
There's honey in her trees,
But the pretty girls of Ireland
Are f;lirer far than these.
There are charming scenes in Ire
land
killarncy's lakes and fells-
Her parks, her woods, her mountains,
Her deep, romantic dells;
Fair Cork's delightful river,
And then, o sweet Alare.
But the charming girls of Ireland
Arc fifty times as fair.
There are noble scenes in Ireland
From AIourne to proud Mulree,
From COrrib's waves to Vantry's
stream,
All sparkling, pure, and free;
OH. crystal are her fountains,
That laugh by night and day,
But the high-soulcd girls of Ireland
Are pnrer far than they.

The Country Town.
It's common to sheer at the country
With it's quiet streets and its peace
full air,
Where the little river meanders down
10 be lost in the broad, blue sea
somewhere,
AS we who think we are wise are lost
In the roaring city that, like the sea,
Has its ebb and flow, with it's mil
lions tossed
AS bubbles robbed of identity.
There's fellowship in the country
town,
With its empty streets and it's
spreading trees,
Where the country song-birds MARBLE
At maids as fair as man ever sees:
Where the wind blows sweet from the
fields near by,
w iiNiS 1llCil NioN lHc lEllllcS w ulCll
their neighbors bear,
Where Il man is missed when he's
gone to lie
With the peaceful ones who have
ceased to care.
There are joys out there in the coun-
try town
That we Of the city may never learn
In the rush for money and for renown,
Confronting strangers where'er~ we
turn!
oh, wasn't Gods world serene and fair
In the country town ere we came
away?
And won't it be sweet to sleep out
there,
Far from the city's roar, some day?

French He S and Rheumatism.

There's another of those women
with broken down feet said the shoe
store man, in the New York Press, as
he walked back to the case for par
ticular shape Of shoe. Didn't you
know there was an epidemic of that
sort of thing? No? Well, there is, and
the French heel is to blame for it.
There's Il whole lot of women who
think they have rheumatism in their
feet, but they haven't. It's simply a
case of the arch of the foot being
broken down. They wore French
heels that threw their heels up in the
air. and then next season they went
to the low heels. The change threw
the bones of the instep out of place,
and now when they walk the bones
cause them pain.
II have fixed up any number of feet
for them. Some of them have been to
springs where they treat rheumatism,
and some of them even to Europe.
When they come in here to buy shoes
they speak incidentally about their
troubles. and generally silver plate
and Il shoe that will hold the bones in
place fixes them up.
often l can tell what is the matter
with Il woman's foot just by seeing
her walk. You see that Shoe all worn
off at the side: And this one, worn
at the toe: Well, that is because the
wcmcn have tried to ease the pressure
OF those broken down bones. \ foo1
that is formed right and that is in per
feet health viii wear the shoe evenly
across the sole. If women only knew
what was the matter will! their feet
the doctors would miss il lot of fees
for treatments for rheumatism"

Musings.

musings.
Once more the melancholy days
Their dreary cycles roll;
And we must hustle out and raise
The winters Jag of coal.
The autumn wind signs through the
trees,
AS southwark turns the sun;
And we must pay, if we'd not freeze,
Eleven plunks per ton.
The leaves nre curled and turning
brown,
And soon the frost will blight;
And ev'rything is coming down
Excepting anthracite.
The summer skies have turned to
gray,
A blue haze fills the air;
And thoughts of coal bills I must pay
Turns likewise gray my hair.
The coal trust smites me hip and
thigh,
And laughs my grief to scorn;
1t grabs off ev'ry dollar
Can make 'twixt morn and morn.
The barOns who control the coal
Indulge in ghoulish glee,
Because they have supreme control
At Washington, D. G.

Death.


| would not fear thee. Death,
Nor halt to go with thee
Der thy dark. checrless path
OF deepest mystery,
But my poor soul. that long
Is stained with deeds of sin,
Fears it will lose the Heavenly
Goal it fain would win,
And trembles at the hour
When thou shall steal my breath
And still my throbbing heart
Thou cruel, cruel Death!
l would not fear thee, Death;
I'd suffer all thy pain
If my poor soul would wing
To Heavens fair domain,
There to dwell and live in peace
Thro' ages yet unborn
Without one blight of grief
OF slander, woe and scorn.
But ah! my soul does sigh,
Tho fervent, strong in faith
Shoulders to meet with thee,
Thou cruel, cruel Death!
I would not fear thee, Death,
If those l dearly love
One day would join with me
Far in the fields above,
And mingle as of old
With pleasure and with glce,
That shone in faded years
On life's understanding sea;
But when my soul does fly,
When thou shall steal my breath,
All! shall we meet again?
Thou cruel, cruel Death?
1 would not fear thee. Death,
Thou giant, strong and cold,
If in my dying hour
Some hope thou would unfold.
One Frightening word of cheer
Ere the spark of life had fled.
Thus when my lifeless form
Had gone to join the dead,
I'd part this world of care
And all it's fires of wrath,
But my soul does cry aloud.
She fears thee, fears thee, Death
