There's Not a Gov,

There's not a JOY the world can give like
that 1t takes away
When the glow of early thought declines
in feelings duh decay:
IT'S not on youths smooth cheek the
blush alone which fades so fast,
But the tender bloom Of heart Is gone
ere youth itself be past.
Then the few whose spirits float above
the wreck of happiness
Are driven Ger the shoals of guilt or
ocean of excess;
The magnet of their course is gone. or
only points in vain
The shore to which their shiyered sail
shall never stretch again.
Then the mortal GOODNESS of the soul like
death itself comes down;
1t cannot feel for others woes, II dare
not dream its own;
That heavy chill has frozen DER the
fountain of our tears
And though the eyes may sparkle still,
tits where the ice appears.
Though wit may fash from fluent lips.
and mirth distract the breast
Through midnight hours that yield no
more their former hope of rest;
'Tis but as ivy leaves around the ruined
turret wreath,
All green and wildly fresh without. but
worn and gray beneath.
oh. could I feel as hs We felt. or be what
| have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept DER
many vanished scene
As springs In deserts found seem sweet.
all brackish though they be,
those tears woult flow to me

cent of 4his beautiful Indian word
should not be put o., the syllable 'ag.
but on the syllable 'ar'-the penult-
the one before the last.
Niagara means mark to the thun-
der. Its accent should fall on the
penult because the Indians them
selves accent it thel e. because in prae-
tically all our India names of places
the penult is the scented syllable.
Think of the ladian names you
know. Don't you scent nearly all of
them on the syllable before the last?
There are, for insts nee, Toronto, Mis-
sissippi, Allegheny, Appalachicola,
Narragansett, Tuscaloosa, Saratoga,
Ticonderoga, Oswego, Conshohocken,
Wissahickon and Hochelaga. In all
these names the accent is on the
penult.
Niagara is a Huron word, and, IL
you find a Huron, you will find that

Secretary Hay is Democratic.

John Hay. secretary of state, is thus
described by a Washington CORE
spondent: "A short man, eXtraordi-
narily punetilious in dress, with an at
tentively combed beard, and attractive
face. a pleasant voice-a voice of
singular precision and sibilance; a
man who uses slang in private CONVEX
sation and Yields the English Ian
guage like musical instrument in his
public utterances and who always
wears evening dress in his own house
after o'clock-that is the outward
man of the secretary of state. The
impression is abroad that Hay is an
aristocrat In his tastes he is, but not
in his manners. He is democratic,
confidential, though always dignified.
He sometimes, when talking to one
he can trust, discusses great interna-
tional questions in pungent idioms and
with a Yankee Observation-Disclosures
that is proof positive of his author
ship of Pike County Ballads. He is
sensitive to criticism-there is no man

Why High pews In Church.

During the reign of William and
Mary in England worthy bishop
complained to the latter that the la
dies of the court were wont to fix
their eyes on their neighbors rather
than on him during his discourses. II
apparently never occurred TO the di.
vine that the fault might lie in the
seymons themselves. BY consent Of
the queen high pews were introduced
TO prevent wandering eyes. "As for
the young ladies for whose spiritual
welfare they were devised" says a
writer. their Indignation was only
surpassed by the rage of their admir-.
ers." From that time high pews were
very commonly placed In churches.
