Today the world may pass him by
With needless haste, aNerted eye.
Today the world may go unstirfed
BY all the witchery of his word;
To-day the eIamor of the street
May drown his song SO wild and sweet.
Today unto himself alone
His art melodious may be known;
The world untouched may go its way
Nor listen TO his song today.
Yet does he murmur? Nay. not he,
He muses. on the days 10 be.
Upheld serenely by the faith
That though lie die, there is no death
For that immortal Voice which rings
Through cen the iiShtest songs he sings,
The faith that though all flesh must fade
The beauty which his soul has made
Will never perish but live on
To win the world when he is gone;
The faith that when he's dead that same
Old needless world will breathe his maine
With love aud reverence and keep
His memory sacred-ay, and steep
Its very spirit in the lay
He sings to deafened ears today,

several columns to plea for the COM
mutation of the sentence or pardon of
Lauriston Mink of Belfast, who went
to State prison for three years for as
sault with intent to kill Cordelia
Young, alleged to be his wife. This
plea was inspired by avisit from the
mans father. who is "a decrepit vet
eran of the Civil war. The mother,
who has been insane in years past,
also is much FRUSTRATED by this affiic-
ton. Thus the innocent suffer for the
guilty.

strongest landscape in the collection.
and one of the best of its kind that
has been seen for many years, is Geo.
l.. Noyes' robust and deep toned pic
lures of New Hampshire hills in sum
mer. A difficult subject, but one of
great interest, it is treated with superb
competence and completeness, There
is no landscapist living, so far as we
know. who is capable of doing this
sort OF thing better than Mr.. Noycs.
This work was shown at the recent
exhibition of the Pennsylvania Acad
