VERSES, NEW AND OLD

PRAYER.
Three doors are in the temple
Where men go up to pray.
And they that wait at the outer gate
May enter by either way.
There are some that pray by asking;
The lie on the Masters breast,
And stunning the strife of the lower
life.
They utter their cry for rest.
There are some that pray by seeking;
they doubt where their reason fails;
But their minds despair is the ancient
prayer
To touch the print of the nails.
There are some that pray by knock
ing;
They put their strength to the
wheel;
For they have not time for thoughts
sublime.
They can only act what they feel.
Father give each his answer
Adapt thy light to his form Of night,
And grant him his needed day.
William Watson.

lip;
But love seeks truer loving.
She trembles her fan IN a sweetness
dumb.
AS her thoughts were beyond re-
calling
With glance for one, and a glance
for some
From her eyelids rising and falling;
Speaks common words with a blushing
air,
Hears bold words unreproving;
But her silence says-what she never
will swear;
And love seeks better loving.
Go, lady, lean to the night-guitar,
And drop smile to the bringer;
Then smile as sweetly. when he is far
At the voice of an indoor singer
Bask tenderly beneath tender eyes:
Glance lightly on their removing;
And join new VOWS to old perjuries-
But dare not call 1t loving.
Unless you can think, when the song
Is done,
No other is oft in the rythm;
Unless you can feel when left by one,
That all men else go with him;
Unless you can know, when unpraised
by his breath,
That your beauty itself wants prov
ing
Unless y u can swear For life for
DEATH"
o, fear to call it loving!
Unless you can muse in a crowd all
day
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels
may,
With the breadth Of Heaven be-
twixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith
is fast,
Through behooving and unbehoov-
ing;
Unless you can die when the dream is
past
o, never call it loving!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-06-27

You eat the heart of life like some
great beast,
You blacken the sweet Sky-that
God made blue,
You are the death s-head set amid
the feast,
The desert breath that drinks up
every dew.
And no man lives but quails before
yOu-Pain!
And no man lives that learns 20
love your rod;
The white lip smiles-but ever and
again
Gods image cries your horror unto
God.
And yet-oh, terrible!-men grant
You this;
You work mystery. When you
are done,
10! common living turns to heavenly
bliss;
Lo! the mere light is as the MONDAY
The Century.

Japan Politically and Financially.

When Nature ruts Her Fix-Ups On.

When Nature Huts Her Fix-Ups On.
Birds singing over dale and hill,
Trees waving tufts of freshest green,
Bright sunshine giving one thrill
When gliding DER the meadow
sheen
All tell me springs chill days ar
gone
And Nature has her fix-ups on.
Yon distant wood, how fire it looks,
AS though a single giant tree;
There flowers fringe the ripping
brooks
And huns the merry bumblebee;
Glad scenes all round to look upon
When Nature puts her fx-ups on.
The buttercups curl leaves of gold,
The cowslips bend beneath our feet,
And shooting stars their beauty hold
Up to our eyes "a daily greet,
While perfumes rare pour forth anon,
When Nature puts her fx-ups on.
Smooth lies the newly narrowed field
And others green with growing grain,
Their hidden treasures soon to yield
And make the worlds heart glad
again.
The old earth smiles, new robes to
don,
When Nature puts her fx-ups on.
Gods country is a scene sublime!
No modiste makes such witching
gowns
As those which grow in summer time
Unseen by folk who live in towns.
We pity them-thin, pale and wan
When Nature puts her ix-ups on.

Rigid Morality in the South.

For rigid political morality suggea-
tive of old-time New England one
must go south. New England states
have tried prohibition in the shape of
statewide laws and, finding the ex-
pertinent a failure, all have given it
up save Maine where it still stands,
but with great and growing dsfavor.
Meanwhile prohibition in the shape Of
local option is rapidly covering the
south There is a more general prev
alence OF extreme temperance senti-
ment, of total abstinence sentiment in
the south today than anywhere else
in the country. In the east, north and
west as in the south, there is much
less of drunkenness than there VAS
only a few years ago, but outside OF
the south there has been a great de
crease of opposition to well-regulated
drinking saloons. One must go south,
too, to find the most intense feeliny
against gambling Washington Post.
