steps toward securing to the city an
other means of transportation. The
advantages OF its advertisement OF the

SOCIETY.
THE PENlTENTlAL SEASON.

Calling on the busy world
Stop, and hearken to its voice,
Let its banners gay be furled.
Roses bright of pleasure fade,
In gray ashes die their scent,
flushed, the laughter sinks to prayer,
This is Lent!
All the pomps and vanities
From the sight are hid away,
Voices once in music raised,
Now low whisper as they pray;
Thoughts now turn on inward selves
Formerly with folly blent,
Mind and Body bow to Soul
This is Lent!
Stands the angel of the sword,
Trampling pleasure, power and pelf
Holding up a glass to us,
With stern order, know myself"
And each knee in penace bent,
Solemn sounds within the soul,
This is Lent"
