In the state sanitarium DR.. Powell
has left behind him a monument that
viii prove more lasting than stone or
bronze. No man better than he I'M
'derstood the unfortunates whose CON
dition compelled them to find there a
retreat; no man ever did more to
ameliorate those conditions or to re-
store them to mental health, to hap
piness and to friends. In this work
he proved, therefore, not only an able
and faithful servant to the state, but
friend to suffering humanity whose
blessings will follow him beyond the
grave and in whose heart his memory
is ineffaceably enshrined.

If course when Congressman Lewis
talks about prohibition in the house.
he has no intention of creating the
impression that action such as was
lately taken by the Georgia legislature
IS being contemplated by congress.
That would be a trespass upon the
rights of the states, besides being il
legal and unconstitutional. But the
national government can, if it sees fit
to do so, in exercising its power over
Interstate commerce, assist the com
monwealths that have declared for
prohibition, in compelling compliance
with the law.

The cardinal principles of the plat
form have been enacted into law and
while it is to be regretted that those
other questions, important if not par
amount, were not also adopted, it is
to be remembered that by a concur
rent resolution, those measures retain
their present positions on the calendar
and when the legislature meets again
they will be taken up just where they
were left when the present season adj
journed. At that time they will I'M
doubtedly be passed and every pledge
of the platform will ultimately be re-
deemed.

CASTLE-BUILDING.
By Augustus Joseph Hickey Duganne.

We wandered down the deep ravine
When sunset fires were redly glow
ing,
And all the vale with purple sheen
And golden smokes were overflow
ing.
The mountain slopes were still ablaze,
The tree-tops burned like waving
torches,
And rainbow rays of rosy haze
We're flushing all the woodland
porches.
Beyond we saw the sunset skies,
With gates, and walls, and turrets
builded,
Embattled piles that seemed to rise,
Tier after tier, with glory gilded
Oh, look, my love! what mansions
bright!
How rich and grand each climbing
story,
Look up, my love! I'll build tonight,
For you and me, a House of Glory,
So, hand in hand, we rested still,
And upward looked through sunset
splendor;
So, heart in heart, in loving thrill,
Grew mute beneath the glamor ten
der.
And thus we built, with painted mist,
Our castles grand from floor to
coping,
Until the last low sunbeam kissed
The gay rayine, and left us-grop-
ing.
All me, my love! the-darkness falls
Full soon to shroud our brightest
dreaming;
And golden roofs and crystal walls
Are based too oft on cloudy seem
ing;
But, hand in hand, and heart with
heart,
We twain abide the the twilight
hoary,
And wait until the shadows part
That hide from us our House of
Glory.
