RETROSPECT.

Tonight, within the open gates,
They dying embers fall;
And many tales do they relate,
The joys of old recall.
vision of the night We met,
So wondrous fair she seems;
Her eyes, her face, I'll ne 'er forget,
AS radiantly she beams.
The echo of that only dance,
As gliding through the hall,
She held me in Loves mystic trance,
My life to aye enthrall.
Her tresses, soft as silken floss,
Her lips of carnine hue;
All cried, "Alone for you"
My heart succumbed that fateful night,
As softly triled strain
OF Haydn; and within that light
She begged that Iremain.
The years have fed, yet mem'ry dear
Revives the dead for me;
1t opens up grave no seer
Could rend of mystery.
We parted, though we loved, and
Went forth to wed my art,
And she-well, time will testify,
Found balm to heal the smart.
Tonight within the open CRATE,
They once again recall
The fortunes Of cruel fate,
AS dying embers fall.

A Yankee Cut,

Once upon a time Supreme Justice
Harlan was travelling in Virginia.
He stopped at a newly-constructed
country hotel. The walls of his room
had been freshly calcimined. They
shone white as the lamp was lit.
But near the head of the bed was
stain. Some one had thrown o
quid of tobacco on it that had stuck.
If l had that Yankee here who
stained that wall | would wiring his

anger.
Why, how do you know a Yankee

MY LADY'S HAT.

Who ever did
Invent lady's lid
Like that:
Who had the nerve T. roll it ont
And stretch il more and more.
From center piece 10 rln, until
IL spreads from shore 10 shore,
And likewise lifts its summit up
On birds and other wings.
Above the earth until il scrapes
The clouds and other things?
Who added TO the wondrous width
OF brim. SO that the pace
Could easily accommodate
An automobile race?
Say, who done that?
Who built her hat?
Who made it something never seen
On earth or in the sky.
A fiat OF wild extended plain,
A mountain towering high?
Cut wider doors for her to get
Inside of any place.
And put the ceiling on the roof
To give her nodding space,
Push up the clouds to let her stand
Erect upon the ground,
And shove the wide horizon back
To let her turn around.
Oh. wierdly, witching, woozy hat
That fiattens ont and towers
Who ever saw thing like that
y pancake piled with flowers?
A hat contagion spreading? Yes,
That names the Merry Wild:
And she who fails to catch it should
Slip out and change her lid.
Gee whiz.
What wonder woman is!
And my, scat.
Where DID she get that hat?

Remarkable Eve Action,

Mrs. Humphrey Ward, at q ladies'
luncheon in New York, said of the
literary style of a popular novelist:
1t is an insane style. 1t makes
me think of the schoolgirl novelist

He sprang ardently forward. but
a look of soft entreaty from one of
Pearls eyes, and a glance of warning
darted from the other in the direc-
ton of her aunt, forced him regret
fully back into his chair"

When / am dead
Will there still be
A loving heart
To think of me?
With two soft eyes
With pity shine
Because no more
They'll smile to mine!

And sing old songs,
Till starlight fails,
When tOasts are drunk,
Will some one save
A glass for me
