THESE NEVER DIE.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes
These things can never die.
The tfmid hand stretched forth TO aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in griefs dark hour
That proves a friend indeed:
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trifies, sweet and frail
That make up loves first bliss,
II with a firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those lips
have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as il fell,
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work 10 do;
Lose not a chance TO waken love
Be firm and just and true.
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say TO thee
These things shall never die.
Charles Dickens.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE,

The playground commission does
well to look to the future in plan
ming its work. The suggestion of
the Woman's Club as voiced through
the representatives of that organiza-
tons are we'll worth needing. The
land that is on the outskirts of the
city to-day viii be the center Of pop
ulation before long.
We have referred to Trenton sew
eral times in connection with the pur-
chase of land for park and play
ground sites. We are going to do so
again. The following is from the
Trenton State Gazette:
1.-THE State Gazette is in sympa-
thy with the movement made by
President Leuckel, of the park board
in the direction of extending Tren-
tons park system.
mfr. Leuckel's idea is that there
should be a number of small parks
established In the congested sections
of the city. whara thay would ha nf
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-05-04

great benefit to the wives and chill
dren OF the workingmen employed In
the factories and which would offer q
healthful place OF rest for the work
.ingman himself after his evening
meal, during the summer season.
"CadwaladeR Park doesn't meet
these conditions. 1t is inconyenient
for mothers of small children to tray
Ell from one end of the city to the
other with her family for a days
recreation in the open, besides the
expense of such a trip deters a good
many mothers from taking it.
In this era when we are told that
fresh air and sunshine are necessary
to our health and happiness, we
should exert ourselves to bring these
two elements within the reach of as
many OF our citizens as is possible.
This can be done by following the
suggestions made by Mr.. Leuckel.
"The city needs more breathing
spots, and at this time land for park
purposes can be purchased by the
city for less money than 1t will be
possible to acquire it at any time In
the future"

Tonight the Board of Aldermen
are to take up the building code, 1t
Is to be hoped the ordinance pro-
xides for ample fire protection. The
fire loss in the United States every
year is more than all the European
countries combined. City after city
has been visited by disastrous con-
ffagrations. The latest is Bangor,
Me, where the loss will reach
100000. This great destruction
Is due largely to our method of con
struction. Now is the time for
Perth Amboy to guard against such
a catastrophe. It may cost a little
more to erect a more substantial
building, but it is cheaper in the end,
besides it is the only fair thing to
do when other properties are consid-
cred. These normo fire losses in
American cities are a reflection on
z mAe3can workmanship.

Challenging Pastor Russell, of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle, to debate on the
Bible Evangelist w. A. Cuddy. OF At
lanta and Washington. stirred the large
audience which filled Convention Hall
yesterday afternoon to listen to Pastor
Russells sermon on "Hereafter.'
Evangelist Cuddy occupied a seat on
the platform few feet from Pastor
Russell and shouted that he dared the
Brooklyn divine to accept his challenge
to a public debate on the Bible.

0LNEY IS AGAINST
FORTIFIED CANAL
Gen. Sherwood Receives Let
ter from Former officer.

Richard Olney of Boston, who was
Secretary of State in the second Cleve-
land administration. is opposed to the for
tification of the Panama Canal In let
ter to Representative Isaac r. Sherwood.
of Ohio, Mr.. Olney states his position
briefly. but does not give the reasons for
his opposition to the policy of fortitica-
ton.
In the letter Mr.. Olncy forwarded a
clipping from a Boston paper containing
a statement of ''six reasons" why the
canal should not be fortified. Among
these the second reason was:
Because the original intention of our
government. as distinctly expressed in
1900 and previously, was to prohibit forti-
fications on the canal. Thought this pro-
hibition was omitted in the finally re-
vised Hay-Pauncefote treaty, signed in
1902, this in no wise implies that we ought
to fortify it. Nor was its construction pro-
posed as primarily military undertake
ing"
Commenting upon this. Mr.. Olney said:
IF the second paragraph of reason No.
. by implication admits the right of the
United States to fortify notwithstanding
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of 1902, ought
to say perhaps. that my personal view
is the other way"
A test vote will probably be taken in
the House this week upon the question
of fortifying the canal. An effort will be
made to insert in the sundry civil bill,
which will be presented to the House
shortly, a provision appropriatins several
million dollars to begin work on the de-
fenses of the canal. There will be sep
arate vote upon this proposition. which
will disclose the attitude of the House
on the question.
