Sting of the bramble or sweet of the rose,
Here we are taking it, life as it goes!
Kings and the captains. the sword and
Toll at the spindle that rings through
the town;
Gladness and woes,
Life as it goes,
Yesterday mp, and tomorrow we're down
Some of it butchery, some of it art;
Some of it torture, and some of IL heart;
Light of the morning to CLEAN for our
feet
The path where the king and the myr-
midon meet;
Bramble aud rose,
Life as it goes,
All, for the love of it, keeping us sweet
Sunshine and battle and peace afte,
storm,
Truth and sincerity, sophistry, form;
Just as Is passes and just as it comes,
Lifting of lilies or rolling of drums;
Throbbing and throes,
Life as It goes,
Plenty of thistles and very few plums
Well, make the best of it, that seems
the way,
Turning the heart to the sunshine OF
May;
Dreaming the bloom of it, letting its
blight
Sing in forgetfulness down through the
night:
Just as it flows,
Life as it goes,

HALLEY'S COMET.

The Haley comet, which is a sort of
q tramp among heavenly bodies, is
again approaching the earth. It's last
appearance was in June, 1861, at which
time It caused considerable apprehen-
sion among the superstitious, many
believing that it had something to do
with bringing about the civil war.
Since that time it has been rushing
through space. lending diversion
or fright. as the case might be, to
the inhabitants of other planets.
According to calculations made by
Frank E. Seagrave, of Providence, and
confirmed by George M. Searle, of
New York. supervisor general of the
Paulist Fathers. and widely known as
an astronomer, the comet will be visi-
BILE to the naked eye in the early spring,
and will be nearest the earth about
May 18TH At that time the earth will
be swept by ''star DUST" probably pro-
ducing brilliant meteoric displays.
Mr.. Seagrave says that the earth and
the comet will meet in the same plane.
but not in the same path. He says
that the earth will not be endangered,
AZ his figures place the comet s nearest
approach to the earth at 6,2S5. .0OC
miles.
There has, however, always been
some alarm about Halley's comet strik-
ing the earth HALEY himself believed
that it might on some of its visitations.
Some of the old astronomers claimed
that it might have brought on the flood
in Noah's time, and the opinion has
been widely entertained that it would
burn up the earth some day.
But it is more than likely that COM
cts have a good purpose and were not
made to strike planet. Some have
come near other planets. and. we are
told, were seized and held in check and
made moons Of. Maybe the earth will
take In Halley's comet. if it comes
near enough. and make a moon of il.
Wouldn't that be great? We really
need another moon.

AFTER ALL.

After you and have ceased to care
The April winds will blow across the

The rose win spread its fragrance on the

The swallows twitter round the CHM

The brook viii wind it's leisure way
And right will still be right and wrong
be wrong.
After you and have ceased to fret
Because our planning sometimes comes
to naught
The foolish still will foolishly regret
When home the spite they vented has
been brought;
They will be needed most who give de-
= light,
And wrong will still be wrong and right
be right.
After you and have ceased to toll
1t may be that we shall with Joy ar
rive
Where none shall be undone and none
despoi!.
Where a, no one for another's gain shall
But here the wise men still shall be the
strong,
And right will still be right and wrong
