also being made to have the fire com
panies from these towns attend and
participate in the contests at the ex-
position. Mayor Everett Thompson
has been requested to issue a procla-
NATION calling upon the citizens to
make November 18th a holiday in
order 20 give the employees "a chance
to visit the exposition on this occa-
sion. Great enthusiasm is being mani
tested and the prospects for a big day
are splendid.
A petition is being circulated in the
city calling for an election for a dis
pensary and q large number of names
have already been secured. The tenn
perance forces are watching and talk
ing and Will do their utmost to pre-
vent the election coming off. There
are strong advocates on either side.

resorted to and prevented the boat
from sinking during the night. Next
morning she was unloaded and put
upon the railways for repairs.

She met him at the portals when he
came.
For she vas Life. and he. full. lover
wise,
Did kiss her hand and fervent love
proclaim
And they were boon companions-Llfe
and he
And fifty joined in every mood and
thought:
They plighted low beneath the forest
In Natures school together they
were taught.
His poet-heart was Weakened into
Nor ever sarg the nightingale SO
we'll.
Great thoughts that to Eternity belong
From his ripe lips in perfect num-
bers fell.
But gaunt-eyed Death sat envious and
alone.
Perceiving how the happy pair were
blest;
And she into a jealous rage was
thrown
With fleshless palm she smote her
hollow breast
And in that mood Death made an
awful vow
To lie In wait where Life and Poet
strolId,
That sh. might plant her kiss upon
his brow.
Touch his warm, singing heart and
leave it old.
And even sc befell the tragic deed:
From Deaths assault there was no
arm to save:
And many hearts shall long in silence
bleed,
While Life stands weeping by her
Poets grave.

Home Songs.

The little loves and sorrows are my
song:
The leafv lanes and birthsteads of
my sireSs
Where m broods by winters
evening fires
Ger oft-told joys. n ghosts of an
cient wrong;
The little cares and carols that belong
To home-hearts. and old rustic lutes
and Tyres,
And spreading acres, where calm
eyed desires
Wake with the dawn, ~unfevered, fair,
and strong.
If word of mine might lull the brain
to sleep,
And tell the meaning in a mothers
eyes;
Might counsel love, and teach their
eyes to weep
Who. DER their dead. question I'M
answering Skies
More worth than legions in the dust
of strife,
Time. looking back at last. should
count my life"
Here. as is nearly always true. the
poet is his own best judge and critic.
Did time permit. I might speak of
McNcilFs keenness n sureness Of eye
and ecu. Never a sight or a sound of
the woods and fields escapes him. and
his nature-poetry mas the happy in
SEPARATION of the born nature-lover.

Again. with waking life along it's
way,
The landscape marches westward mile

And Time throbs white into another

Though e life must wait on live

And all our hopes be tethered to the
mart,
Lacking the eagles wild, high free

That ours might be this day the

The lines illustrate, too, another
quality of Mr.. McNeill's poetry; like all
Scotchmen he never fails to preach Il

obtrusively, but a sermon nevertheless
And our hearts are always the better
for the preaching.

who loves home and mother and all

sonnet:
