MARSH LIGHTS.

From the marshes ana meadows they rise
When the last ray Of daylight expires;
With a vast constellation Of fires
They people the dusk Of the skies.
In an intricate kind of dance,
In mystical maze they are led,
And / watch them 1t noiseessly tread
With eyes that are heavy with trance.
And oft from the whirl and the throng
Some lesser light dies in the play;
They cease not their dance but always
Go circling and whirling along.
And, watching, l dream that our life
Is a mirthless dance that We tread,
Ne'er pausing to number the dead
That vanish away in the strife!
We are sparks from the marsh that are
filed
For moment with impulse, desire;
A moment is ours to aspire,
A moment-and then all Is stilled!

HOW TO TELL A STATESMAN
Not Only a Man Who Makes Speeches,
But Man Who Makes
Good Ones.

The late Horatio G. Herrick, of Law
renee, for many years high sheriff of Es-
sex county, always took keen interest
in the Lawrence schools, and was for a
long time chairman of the school commit
tee. Visiting the Saunders school soon
after the. death of Garfield, relates the
Boston Herald, Sheriff Herrick spoke
to the pupils of the life of the late
distinguished statesman, and thus asked,
genially:
Nov, can any of you tell me what =
statesman is?
A little hand went up, and little girl
replied:
"A statesman is man who makes
speeches"
Hardly that" answered Mr.. Herrck,
who loved to tell this story For instance,
sometimes make speeches, and yet ain
not a statesman"
The little hand again went up, and the
answer came, triumphantly:
Il know; statesman is a man who
makes good speeches."
