Souls Beauty.

Under the arch of Life, where love and
death,
Terror and mystery, guard her
shrine, l saw
Beauty enthroned; and though her
gaze struck awe,
1 drew it in as simply as my breath.
Hers are the eyes which, over and be-
meath,
The sky and sea bend on thee
which can dray,
By sea or sky or woman, to one law,
The allotted bondman of her pain and
wreath.
This is that Lady Beauty, in whose
praise,
Thy voice and hand shake still-long
knokn to thee
BY flying hair and fiuttering hem
the beat
Following her daily of thy heart and
feet
How passionate and irretrievably,
In what fond fight, how many ways
and days.

In the Woods.

turn from lifes familiar ways
To tread the forest path again.
The friendly silence of the woods
Seems wiser than the speech of men.
In language have learned to hear
There comes a message on each
breeze,
How could feel myself alone
With the companionable trees?
And as two hearts in unison
Can hear a thought-though uneX-
pressed
So 1, akin unto the woods
Find speeches. sympathy is best.
How foolish seems our wisdom here!
How small the trivial thing that
grieveS.
Who would not cast his care away
Who hears the laughing Of the
leaves?
And miracles by myriads
To eyes anointed to behold
Each little beech leaf that the frost
Has touched and turned to palest
gold.

A Shrine of Religious Liberty.

"Protestants often wonder why old st.

Martin J. ]. Griffin, the Catholic his

priests, the residence of John latham,
man of affairs, who was related to the
Duke of Norfolk and for brief period
was governor of West New Jersey, in
the town of Burlington, to where he re-
moved, was probably the only other
stopping place for priests who said
masses and conducted other ministra-
tons. This was at period when big

so-called scandal of the mass being
celebrated in public brought forth nu-
merous complaints to the colonial gov

suppress the same. But with st. Jo-

Ran With BOY to HospitaI.

Mrs. Margaret Kierney of 597 Bergen
avenue, BranX, sent her 9-year-old son
Raymond across the street to a grocery
store. On the way he was knocked
down by a butchers wagon and run
over.
The mother saw the accident, darted
out, picked up her boy and ran with
him nine blocks to Lebanon hospital,
arriving there completely exhausted.
The doctors found the boy was only
bruised. The driver of the wagon, John
Nosher of SIS Amsterdam avenue. was
arrested, but when Mrs. Kierney found
that her boy was not seriously hurt, she
declined to make a complaint

A Necessary Qualification.

As a South Jersey country physician
was driving through a village he saw a
man amusing a crowd with the antics of
his trick dog. The doctor pulled UP and
said: My man, how do you manage to
train your dog that way? I can't teach
mine a single trick The man looked
up, with simple rustic look, and re-
piled:
We'll, you see, it's this way: You
have to know more'n than the dog, or
you can't learn him nothin'.'
