THE FLAG GOES BY.

BY Henry HoIcomb Bennett
II ATS off!
u Along the street there comes
A blare of buges, q ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by
Blue and crimson and white it shines,
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by.
Sea fights and land fights. grim and
great,
Fought to make and to save the State;
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong lands swift increase;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;
Sign of nation, great and strong
To ward her people from foreign wrong;
Pride and glory and honor-all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high:
Hats off.
The flag is passing by!

4 Subtle Difference.

Mrs. Blank, wife of a prominent min
lister near Boston, had in her employ a
recently engaged colored cook as black
as the proverbial ace of spades. One
day Mrs. Blank said to her:
Matilda, wish that you would have
oat meal quite often for breakfast. My
husband is very fond of it. He is
Scotch, and you know that the Scotch
eat great deal of oatmeal"
"Oh, he's Scotch, is he?" said Ma
tilda. well, now, do you know, l was

Innovation In Politics.

The recent municipal elections IN
Paris were remarkable not only for
the candidature of M. Laloe, who was
soupdly beaten, but for the first re-
corded candidature Of domestic serv'
ant. The liveried class is supposed to
take on the political color Of it's sur

a republican socialist, and he is said
to have been strongly supported by

me. If that Is true my condition will come
in handy, for 1 will make him show all the
