OLD MAN BLOSSOM.

OLD MAN BLOSSOM. Old Man Blossom was the sport oI helSh- bors round, And while he knew they mocked hlh' yet he never made q sound He bore his lot with patient heart, cross upon his breast, So sad and bent with weight of years, he stood in need of rest. Old Man Blossom breathed his last one summer day And telling life long goodbye, he calmly passed away. He tolled along this earthly vale with stumbling, weary feet And on the hill I guess he finds that sum- bers passing sweet.

LET'S GO rHERE1

Far away from the streets of the city, Where the masses toll and weep And the poor and the spent and the
 broken
 Their filthy novels keep; Where the ceaseless tide of traffic Rolls over human hearts And the murky sky, smoke-laden, No ray of hope imparts- Far away from the sins of the city And the crowded walks of pain, Where the souls of men are bartered In frenzied strife for gain, Is a quaint old rose-blown garden That fronts on a summer sea And dreams to the tune of the south
 winds croon
 And the drone of the humble bee

 Altogether the list is delightful and encouraging. Of an early purity of taste 1t offers evidence which is in no wise weakened by the fact that the volumes in the school libraries are carefully se- lected by the board of education. The children show in little reviews which they have written that they read the books not merely because they are there, but because they like them. Last year the cumulative circulation of the books from the classroom shelves approximated 100000.

such things and they say such things" not merely on the Bowery, but on the up- per reaches of Fifth avenue and in the purlieus of the Plaza. Julia Ward Howe is not the only good American who has asked the question, "Is polite society po- liter" But every now and then there is refreshing evidence that at heart even our ''best" people are all right.
 The European export trade in American heiresses, it is true, shows no sign of falling off, and there is no appreciable diminution In the number of anticipated zanies who arrive each year from parts unknown to fall into the clutches of the lion-tamer and the tuft-hunter. But every now and then, inexplicably society turns deaf ear and a face like flint, and bars the gate against those who would "creep and intrude and climb into the foid"-as automatically as Beau Nash in the palmy days of the pumproom at Bath, and more inf1exibly than Ward Me- Allister, with his Draconian code. The rich and vulgar man finds, to his shocked surprise, that there are some things his money cannot buy him-among them the entree to polite society.

 Any man who will deliberately scatter poison about on the streets is lower order of being than the dogs he kills. Such person is a coward, fool and knaye. Not only does he kill dogs against whom he can bear no auimosity; but there is the possibility, however remote, that hu- man beings may in some manner be poisoned instead of dogs.
