By Helen A. Saxon

Destroy me not, o friend, pray,
With thy we'll meaning sympathy.
Give me no pity; but my place,
And let the sun shine on my face!
Give me no pity; but the chance
To match my will with circumstance
With what am in mind and heart
To take my due and play my part.
The race is to the swift, know,
The battle to the strong; but, o,
There's recompense to all, for each
Hath Heaven itself within his reach!
The widows gift of old was small,
Yet was it counted more than ALL
'Tis what he does, not what he can,
That proves the measure of the man.
'Tis not in marking how they fail
That men find courage to prevail.
Dwell not on what is sad or wrong.
If thou wouldst help me to be strong.
God showeth me no special grace
And why shouldst thou? Yield me my place.
The right to strive, and spare me, pray,
Thy well intentioned sympathy! -.

The Man that Moved.

He went home one night as tired as a dog,
Sat down in a chair with a thud like log,
Said Pm going to move there's no use of talking,
I'm getting too old to do SO much walking.
So he got a house in the brick pavement square
Where he could dress up on Sunday and sling
airs,
Then he went back home got things tore up,
And roared around like poisoned pup.
There is the old stove, she's got to go,
Be careful old man now take it slow,
He lifted and lugged and sweat and swore
Till he got the stove out of the door.
Then he Wiped off his brow said there is no use
oflaggng,
We have got to get the darned thing out on the
wagon
He worked and het All day long,
But the work was dit mt than the hammer and
tong.
And the only smile the poor fellow showed,
Was when he went through town on the last load,
But now he is settled of course you all know,
And the man that moved is blacksmith Joe.

Americas Majestic Sea-Line.-
Wonderful Array of Battle Ships

Americas Majestic Sea-Line.-
Wonderful Array of Battle Ships
on Hampton Roads,
Never yet has Norfolk old the port
of naval rendezvous witnessed so i'm
posing an assemblage of war craft
as now lies in the harbor between Old
Point Comfort and the Exposition
Grounds. Through but the advance
guard of the great gathering of fleets
that will be here during the Exposi-
ton, the fleet is impressive, not only
for its numbers and power, but by rea-
son of the fact that it is wholly Ameri-
can. Sixteen first class battleships
strung along a line extending three
miles, with number ofsecondary craft
make up this stupendous array of the
nations ocean power, presenting a
spectacle to stir the soul of patriotism
Other ships are daily lengthening this
majestic line, and never before have
Americans beer privileged to witness
the power of the nation in such com
pact concourse. This first constitutes
the greatest assemblage of American
war ships ever held. 1t is the great
new navy on parade; the new navy
with which the nation has assumed
the second place among the naval
powers of the earth. The fleet is
manned with over five hundred officers
and thirteen thousand men. Twenty
abreast this splendid host of American
seamen on the march would take two
hours to pass given point
The passage through this formidable
line on one of the many ferry boats
that ply on Norfolk harbor, will arouse
the amazed interest of the dullest, and
one feels that the nation can never go
wrong while such ships and such men
stand sentinels at its sea gates. There
is already, a grand exposition on the
waters of Hampton Roads, worth alone
a trip across the contenent to witness
