PHYLLIS

by Samuel Minturn Peck. The singing of sweet Phyllis Like the silver laughing Till is And her breath is like the lily's.
 In the dawn. As graceful as the dipping Summer swallow, or the skipping Or a lambkin is her tripping
 Der the lawn. e4 To whom shall I compare her? To a dryad? No. She's rarer She is something-only fairer-
 Like Dopeep. She is merry, she is clever. .l5. Surely had Bopeep been ever Half so winsome, she had never
 Lost sheep. Her eyes are like the heather Or the skies in April weather And as blue as both together .,
 In the spring. 4,. .ts Alas! I need q meter, As I pipe her, that is sweeter, And rhythm that is f1eeter
 On the wing. Beyond a poets fancies, Though the muse had kissed his glance Is her dimple when 1t dances
 In a smile. Oh, the havoc 1t is making Hays of sorrow, nights of waking Half score of hearts are aching
 All the while. sa ,.<as
 se. g,s'tiF Sweet Phyllis. l adore her, sd And with beating heart implorei her Or my loving knees before her lf i.
 In alarm izsa7ist f4 Iris neither kind nor rightful That a lassie so delightful Should exert q spell so frightful
 With her charm.

New York Correspondence Cincinnati

 The bunch got to flaming the other night, in a quiet little place uptown. Some enc told story on Frank O'Malley, who now and then takes time from his news paper labors to dash off a play. Some times he sells the play. OMalley, accord ing to the yarn, developed 8 streak of deviltry one night. He went into res- taurant and stalled the leader of the or chestra to d $20 bill, in return for which that minion agreed to play Home, Sweet Home until O'Malley's thirst for that harmony had been satisfied. Every one opplauded the first rendtion,'' said the storyteller Then the orchestra played 1t again, the violinist putting especial power and feeling into his elbow. Peo- pIe looked surprised. On the third play ing one or two heartless slobs hissed, but a large lady who had been with diff houlty crowded into a gown not half long enough for her sniffled into the lase and started for the door. Her escort looked peculiarly sheepish as he trailed. On the fourth playing more people went Ione. All the tete-a-tetes under the imi- tation candles had been broken up.

Democratic Harmony

'''rhere is strong hope in democratic cir- cies of grand democratic victory in 19l2," said Charles A. Adamson of Chi cago.
 ''l have been a voter since 1s72-a modest voter of the rank and file-and have cast my ballot in two elections for the winning candidate.
 q voted for Samuel J. Tilden in 1S75, and while he was elected on the face of the returns he was counted out. Mir. Cleveland was the only democrat who reached the White House in my day and I took particular pleasure in voting for him because his policies and his general political character appealed to me.
 While I voted for MT. Bryan in 1S9t and the other times he ran, and for Judge Parker, l had no expectations that the democracy in any of those campaigns would triumph. There was a serious split in the party in 1896 and harmony has never been restored until now.
 q have never known the democratic party to be more harmonious than it js in New England not long ago, Congress- man oscar Underwood has done more by his honest and tactful leadership in the House of Representatives to bring about united party than any other one man.
 "There seems to be some talk of nomi- mating Underwood for President. l am no politician; have had no sort of eXper- fence in political affairs, but I believe that Underwood would make a most popular standard bearer.
 "I feel that if the democrats put up q conservati,e clean man, with sound opin- ions on the tariff, victory will perch on democraey's banner once more'

THE END OF THE WORLD

ilind. The cholera is rampant in certain quarters. And the microsemograms of the earthquake recorders are trembling Tn the balance 8e
 What shall we say to these things? We don't know. Nothing in particular seems best. The early Christians looked for the soon coming of the Saviour. They passed away. their faith in no degree shaken. The hope waned and was all but lost, only to be revived again. Prophetic announce ments of the New Testament have been applied to past events, time and again. Some explain portion by the downfall of Jerusalem. To others Nero was anti christ, and to still others, Napoleon. More than once the Millerites have donned their white robes and ascended the mountain only to come down again. And the end is not yet.
 In the absence of unanimous conviction on the subject. why not still cling to the moral principles involved? In New Eng lands Dark Day" it was cried that the judgment had arrived. The rulers Of Massachusetts colony were in session. and it was suggested that they adjourn. One old Quaker objected. If the day had come. he couldn't help it. but it was his intention to be about his Fathers busi- nes when the trumpet sounded. Goethe's favorite motto was, Work as though you would live forever; live as though you would die tomorrow" And the old negro nanny said to one apprehensiye of speedy dissolution, "Shucks, chile; yo' aipt gwine to die till yo' time comes ceptin less yo' get shot!"

DELUDED.

DELUDED. He sought for gold in barren lands And strove iii crowded marts, But never thought to look for the gold That lies in human hearts. And thus a dreary life he spent, Pursuing a sordid quest With never a genial hour to warm The cold heart in his breast. He knew not the touch of friendly
 hand,
 Nor the glow of a friendly smile; As he toiled along through the vale of
 life
 For many weary mile. At last bowed down by years, he sighed For the love he had never known And envied the cheer of the poor man S
