TIE DEW AND THE ROSE.

While you are the rose and | am the
dew,
will come when the twilight dims
the west,
And seeking no other mower en'n
Will make your petals my couch of
rest.
/ will rise on the rays of the morning
sun,
And fiv with the winds DER the fog
swept sea,
And when the sunlight its course mas
In the hush of the evening I'll come
to thee.
/ will come in the gloom of the black
est night,
Seeming your fragrance from
afar;
For love will show me my path
Alright,
Without the CLEAN of single star.
How | have hated the pitiless day
That sewers me from your pure en-
brace;
And how / have longed for the kindly
night
That shows me your beautiful face.
Jealous of every wandering bee
That from your heart its sweetness
sips;
And raging at every wolfish wind
That pauses to prey on your pet
aled lips.
The thought that you lie in shroud
of snow
Is sackcloth and ashes to my soul;
While am one with the sullen seas
That surge round the Icy pole.
You will drift back to the earth again
On the tide of the ripping years;
And | will come in the caroling
Spring,
To drench you with loves tears.
What anguish of spirit to think OF
the day
When life and love are gone:
You in the sheltering arms of death,
But / must live on and on.

POOR RICHARDS ALMANAC.

A good example is the best sermon.
God heals, and the doctor takes the
fees.
You may be too cunning for one.
but not for all.
Words may show mans wit, but
actions his meaning.
An ounce of wit that is bought is
worth pound that is taught.
Keep your eyes open before mar
riage, half shut afterwards.
Meier take a wife till thou hast a
house (and fire. to put her in.
If man could have half his wishes,
he would double his troubles.
Drink does not drown care, but wa
ters it and makes it grow faster.
If you would keep your secret from
an enemy, tell it not to a friend.
Good sense is a thing all need, few
have, and none think they want.
Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined
with Poverty, supped with Infamy.
When out of favor none know thee;
when in, thou dost not know myself.
If your riches are yours, why don't
you take them with you to the othe..
world?
Lend money to an enemy, and
thou'lt gain him; to a friend, and
thou'lt lose him.
Be civil to all; serviceable to many:
familiar with few; friend to one; en-
envy to none
Work as if you were to live hun
dred years; pray as if you were to dA
tomorrow.
The wise man draws more adyant-
age from his enemies than the fool
from his friends.
A wise man will desire no more
than what he may get Justly. use
soberly, distribute cheerfully, and
leave contentedly.
Doing an injury puts you below
your enemy; revenging one makes Won
even with him; forgiving it sets you
above him.

of the wedding flashed upon him.
and he looked at the man keenly.
Where to, my lord?" inquired Mr..
Sinclair, fixing his dark eyes upon
the marquis.
"Coutt's bank, he said, leaning
back
But the man still kept his hand
upon the door, and thrusting his
head forward, whispered:
Can l have word with your
lordship ?-name your own time
With the head came a Whit OF
scented hair oil. The marquis
frowned angrily.
What the devil do you mean, who
are your" he demanded.
'I've got business with you, mar
quis," said Mr.. Sinclair, with smile
which would have maddened the
marquis if he could have under
stood all the insolence meant, but
which even in his Ignorance made
him itch to knock the mans head of!
"Business!" he said haughtily; 81
don't know you. Take your hand OF
the cab, and tell the man to drive
on."
81 'ope your lordship won't be i'm
patient with me-" said Mr.. Sinclair,
insinuatingly, but with a sugges-
ton of menace in his tone. Z
don't mean any harm to your lord
ship, far from it. What | want to
say
The marquis eyed him with the
cool, steely gaze which made his
handsome face particularly unpleas-
ant
Mr.. sinclair's face grew red in
spots.
"Call a policeman" he said, an
grily. every well, call him! I'll
tell him the business I've got with
you, marquis, and you'll be ready to
give me hundred pounds down to
keep my mouth shut"
The marquis looked at him stead
lily
"You want to extort money" he
said. "Take care, my friend.' and
he smiled particularly unpleasant
smile. "The law has an uncomfort-
able knack of sending such gentle
men as you to her Maesty's jails."
Mr. Sinclair nodded insolently.
"All right, my lord,'' he said, cas-
ily. 81 knew you'd carry it with a
high hand, and was prepared for
that. 1t amt likely as Ugh and
noble gent like you would cave in
at the first go off. But I tell you, as
true friend, you'd better give me
an interview AS a true friend, mind
you. It's better than being an enemy,
my lord,"
The marquis let an oath slip
from his thin lips.
"What is it you know, or think
YOU know?" he said "You are play
ing dangerous game, fellow"
81 know the game I'm playing,
said Mr.. Sinclair, nodding confident
ly. "Give me 'alf an hour, marquis. I"
very WELL" said the marquis
after moments rapid thought.
."Call this evening, at eight o'clock
and I will give you ten minutes; at
the end of that time I shall probably
give you in charge" he added with
a smile.
"Ill chance that, MARQUIS SAID
Mr.. Sinclair. and stepping of the
footboard he told the cabman to drive
on.

lor The assembling OF the new cong. ess.
AS The star has often pointed OUT, TINS
IS d difficult SUBJECT. 1t involves >grea.
many Considerations which affect the en-
TIRE political structure of the government.
1T brings into debale the Odd issue of
whether there should be long or brief
interval between the election of oncers
and their installation, between the pubic
declaration ot policies and their establish
ment; IN short, the issue OF deliberate
speedy application OF the popular Will
IN matters of legislation and auminstra
ton. There is also involved the question
of whether the presidential vote shall be
canvassed by the retiring or the newly
elected Cong. ess. and the related question
whether the new President shall ,ake his
place before or after the new Congress
begins work.
On all these points of political practice
there are divergent views, and the ex
perience of a few years ago indica,es thai
no program of reform can be framed in
volving other changes in the federal
schedule than that affecting the inaueura-
ton date, which can command The neces-
sary two-thirds vote in the two houses
of Congress. The plain change-of-date
proposition involves no other considera-
ton of a political nature save the Incl
dental lengthening Of the concluding ses-
sion of each Congress. AS far as it has
been expressed on this subject the public
sentiment favors the change, in large
part, for this very reason. There is
general belief that the short session is al
together too short for the effective trans
action of the public business. and many
people are now urging the postponement
of the inaugural ceremonies until the last
Thursday in April partly in order to ac-
compiish the extension of the congress

And here's the day after the great
celebration!
The softest of sunshine illumines the
scene;
Some ruction we had Ger affairs Of the
nation,
But we wakened to skies that are
blue and serene.
For the gray-headed men and the in
fants that toddle
Meath the stars on the flag that IS
fashioned so neat.
st. Patrick may still be our guide and
our model
For driving out dangers that Turk
meath our feet.
Wen drive out the man of false speech
and the CRATER,
Well let in the light on their darkest
retreat;
Well chide them in song and we'll
shame them with laughter
And aid the laws hand as it throttles
deceit
So here's to st. Patrick-ah. who shall
oppose it,
The well deserved tribute we're
ready to pay?
For he was a gentleman. All the world
knows it.
And Il gentleman's game is the kind
we will play.

Spring Signs.

With the moderation of the present chill
airs blowing in from the north will prob
ably come the balmy days of real spring,
when the earth is giving forth every hour
some fresh evidence of its fruitfulness,
green blades OF grass and tiny sprouts
from hidden bulbs and when the ten
der green of the first leaves appears on the
trees and shrubs. Already faint green
haze shows in the p1rks, and in another
week it will deepen into a pronounced
spring tone. a promise Of the luxuriant
foliage that makes Washington in the
warmer months place of great delight.
These are the days when the grand
transformation begins which covers the
bare spots with vines and grass and
changes ugly. unsightiy vistas into charm
ing perspective. Now the loyal Washing
tonian feels poignantly the regret that
the thousands of inauguration visitors
could not have been here TO see the city in
Its first freshness of spring costuming.
The picture of the capital carried away
by the majority of the tourists was far
from attractive. Washington was at its
very worst on the 4th whereas at the
end Of April 1t will be at its best. 1t is
not fair. either to the people of the states
or TO the District, that the capital should
be seen by so large a multitude at the sea
son of its poorest appearance. when so
few days later it is in every particular
one of the most impressively beautiful
cities in the world.
