 Although grave fears were felt from the first Mrs. Davis wonderful vitality, which had brought her through similar attack a year ago. gave hope of ultimate recovery until Monday night when a change for the worse was evident, and the attending was near.

Song for Today.

BY Mary A. Ford (Una.)
This life's too brief to waste its light
In dreams OF some ideal;
The future is a phantom bright,
The present stern and real.
Behold the nations marching on,
No kingly power can bind them?
Oh, shall we dream till they have gone
And we are left behind them?
Alas! our hapless Irish land,
In vain we say we love her
Her streams and plains, her ruins
grand,
The radiant blue above her,
While with our causeless hate and wal
We but more firmly bind her
Beneath the tyrant's crushing car,
And Danish hope behind her.
Oh, shame on him who breathes word
'Gainst one who loves our sireland!
His tongue is as a dagger keen
That stabs the heart Of Ireland.
Too long we quaffed the poisoned
draught
Our rulers mixed to bind US;
They laughed to see how madly we
And cast distrust behind US.
Regard not all as foes whose words
Are not your echo, brother,
Two human minds are seldom found
Precisely like each other;
Your creed or shrine may not be mine,
Yet love Of land should bind us.
In freedUm's holy cause to join
And cast distrust behind us.
Well hate but wrong, and most Of all
Hate tyranny's aggression,
And rise mighty human wall,
To face and crush oppression;
To hurl the foe from off our shore
Who to the dust would grind US;
To live in friendship evermore
With faction far behind US.

In the seating the party was sepa-

Soft rests on the hill-slopes the light

When checked and ruddy.

The summons to study
We answered with glee.

That tocsin which gathers the far
scattered clans;
From playtime and leisure fleet-footed
they rally,
Brave lads and bright lasses, DER
flowing with plans;
From croquet to cricket
To blackboard and map.
Is but shooting a wicket:
No fear of mishap.
Oh, bark! how it echoes, through din
gle and dell, ~
The jocund, the earnest Academy
bell! as
They fly, at it's call, from soft mother
caresses: -
The boy will not tarry. the girl can-
not wait;
So the round head close-clipped and
the loose flowing tresses
Together flash out from the Vine

And the house that was holden
BY revel supreme,
Is wrapped in the golden
Fair peace Of dream.
