A PiIqrim.

Across the trodden continent of years
To shrines of long ago.
My heart. a hooded pilgrim, turns with
tears
For could I know
That in the temple of thy constancy
There still may burn a taper lit for me,
'Twould be star in starless heaven to
show
That heav'n could be.
Bent with the weight of all that desired
And all that I foreswore.
My heart roams, mendicant, forlorn and
tired,
From door to door.

An aims of pty-just to come to thee.

Advice.

When you think the Fates betray you
Whine about it;
When your efforts fan to pay you
Whine about it:
Don't brace up or keep on trying.
Spend your time in bitter signing.
Let the world behold you crying
Whine about it.
When your liver's acting badly
Whine about It;
Sit around and murmur sadly
Whine about 1t;
Time was merely made to fritter:
When your luck is bad grow bitter.
Be weakling and a gutter
Whine about it

have had representative stationed at the door
of the Office of the Secretary of State at Spring
field waiting for the day to arrive when petit
tons may be filed. For more than a month
past several Of these political sentinels have
stood on guard and held their place in line, so

WHEN THINGS ARE ASLEEP.

When | wake up in bed at night
The house looks very queer:
The hall lamp makes sleepy light
An everything seems near.
The chairs an things are all asleep
In such a weary way,
~ If they'd like TO fall a-heap
But simply have to stay.
Tie chairs look tired as tired can be,
Their backs all seem TO ache;
The one that plays tie games with

Looks as if it w1uld break
The bureau Sleeps as calm an still
/ Almost hear il snOre;
Tho rug spreads out an tries TO fill
The bare place on the floor.
The window curtains sag way down
An hardly even sway
They're tired from shown all the

How straight they are all day.
The pictures will not look at me
For all their eyes arc closed.
Except my papa's Onc-an' he
Looks like he only doZcd.
