Early to Bed.

The man who makes it the habit of his
life to go to bed at o'clock usually gets
rich and is always reliable. OF course,
going to bed does not make him rich-I
merely mean that such man will in all
probability be up early in the morning
and do big days work, so his weary
bones put him to bed early. Rogues do
their work at night. Honest men work
by day. It's all a matter of habit, and
good habits in America make any man
rich. Wealth is a result of habit.-Jehn

You gave me my work to do, you
brought and set it before me;
/ laughed with the laughter OF one,
seeing, who understands;
! bent to the task elate, zeal like man
tie Ger me
Why did you break my wrists and
shatter the strength of my
hands?
You gave me the song to sing, and mine
the JOY Of the bringing
Strands of heaven and sea and earth
strung to the perfect note.
Finished. glorious, whole, I raised my
head for its singing
Why did you seal my lips and crush
the song in my throat?
The work I was fain to dot rusts IN
the drift Of the sands:
The song 1 was fain to sing is waste
for the winds TO float.
Why did you break my wrists ana stat-
ter the strength Of my hands
Why did you seal my lips ana crush
the song in my throat?

At the seasons hats 1 shall not rail,
Nor call them grotesque nor strange;
My optimism shall still prevail,
Next seasons the styles may change.
do not mind fifteen yards of lace,
Twelve feathers, and one big wreath;
But, oh, l dread to see the face
That perhaps may be hid beneath!
I've seen brave hats of a noble size,
That rested on shoulders square,
And I hoped the wearer had rougish
eyes,
And curly golden hair.
And when I looked-well, never mind
that,
But this boon I would fain beseech:
Pray. Fashion, ordain that the peach
basket hat
Shall only be worn by peach!

The Four Seasons.
Munsey's Magazine.)

(Munsey's Ma gazine.)
Deep hush; the sky glare of red;
Dim distances of heat;
And, oh, how drags the silent tread
OF Times relentless feet
Bleak gusts adown adorn sodden sky;
The drip of freezing rain;
Gloom-saddened dreams of years gone
by,
And lonely days again.
Snow-glinted nights, and whittier days
That hasten to their end;
Mute longing in a heart that prays
The solace of a friend
Moist winds astir in azure skies;
Green hints against the gray;
And, oh, the dream of those dear eyes
That do not smile today!

Women in Politics.

Note: Over nine million words have
been talked in both branches of con-
gress on the tariff question.
Nine million words of tariff talk,
Nine million words of what
Does little more just now than leave
Consumers in the pot.
Nine million words because a few
Were pulling for their own
To get the meat, while all the rest
Got nothing but the bone.
And yet, perhaps, it might be worse,
Although no one can tell,
Just how it would be. seeing that
It is so far from we'll.
But those were men who talked and

Nine million words of stuff
Now if they had been women, say
Would nine have been enough

"Men as Trees WaIking."

If I may not have my sight
Give me then, a little light,
Such as comes at early dawn,
Or as waits when day has gone
Just enough that men may seem
AS the trees, of which 1 dream,
On the mountains, far away
From these streets where 1 must stay
So amid the multitudes
1 shall walk in verdant woods;
If may not have my sight,
Grant me, Lord, little light.

Hard to Arrange.

About year ago a cook informed her
Boston mistress that she was apt to
leave at any time, as she was engaged
to be married. The mistress was genu-
inely sorry, as the woman is a good
cook and steady. Time passed, however
without further word of leaving, though
the happy man-to-be was a frequent
caller in the kitchen. The other day
the mistress was moved by curiosity to
ask:
when are you to be married, Nora ?"
"Indade, an it's niver at all, I'll be
thinkin', num-" was the sad reply.
Really? What is the trouble?"
"'Tis this, mum. 1 won't marry Mike
when he's drunk, an when he's sober
he won't marry me!'-From Judge.
