Tardes en- que Sc mueren de amor las primaveras
sobre los opalinos mares Y Ia campaha
tras TN vago delirio de neblinas viajeras
que parecen que visten de novia a la montana.
Tardes humedas tardes que anuncian el estfo
un deshojamiento de violetas moradas
(El vejo sol desgrena en- q rio
y Sc inclinan al paso las velas eespfesaslas)
Tardes .... Tardes de al,encla lie medltaclones
que uevais las alnas vuestra mtancola.
y no tenes remedo para los colazones
enfermos de esperanzas I'll. de Ia esperanza mfa.)
Tardes frivoas lentas, cuya ilosofa
derrana indolencia sobre los septentrones
lgnorais el secreto de las del medoda,
sonrentes, amorosas enas de canclones
Vosotras sois las rubias impasibles extranas
al prodgio de Psiquis a la voz de las canas
que dan jugo al espiritu explcan el vivir.
teneis la beleza tragica de 10 muerto,
v las desolaciones de todo 10 desierto
J el pavoroso enigma de nuestro porvenlr.

NO CIVIL SERVICE RULES
IN ESSEX, ASYLUM DECISION.
Special to the Newark Star. |

TRENTON, Feb. 1.-THE Supreme
Court today handed down an opinion
in the suits started some time ago to
test the rights to hold Office of Freder-
lex Wagner, superintendent of the Els
sex County Court House, julius Linde-
man, clerk of the South Orange Insane
Hospital, and Eugene Mulvaney, stew
ard of the latter institution.
In the opinion filed by the court it
holds that under the recent decision OF
the Court of Errors and Appeals de-
claring the civil service law unconsti-
tutional, when adopted by resolution
of the governing body, there is no merit
in the suits because the civil service
regulations no longer apply in the
county of Essex.
