JUST A CLERK.

Lord, I am but little clerk
 That scratches with a pen; l rise and eat and toll and sleep,
 Just as all other men The only colors in my life
 Are drabs, and duns, and graya Yet on the whole 1 am content
 To tread the beaten ways. But sometimes when the midsprinr
 mist
 Floats in the scented night. Strange spirits whisper in my ear
 And visions cross my sight. see myself gracious youth,
 In purple and bright steel; The golden spurs Of knightly worth Are glistening on each heel. ride into a world of dreams,
 And with my pennioned lance I pierce the mystic veil that hides
 The land of high romance But as pass through Gaianads Adventuring on my way, A ghost is ever at my back,
 The ghost of every day And soon or late its horrid hand,
 That never yields or stays VIII hurl me from my land of dreams, Back to the beaten ways. Oh, Lord, some cry to Thee for gold,
 Some for woman's smile; But all ask is breath Of life,
 Once for little while Grant me. before I pass beyond
 One chance to play a part, To drop the guise Of the little cioU0 And show the man at heart New York Times.

THE MODERN GIRL.

I do not sing, I do not play,
 As maidens did long long ago We're living in a modern day,
 Victrolas do all that, you know do not bake. do not scrub.
 I do not help around the flat; The silverware l. do not rub,
 The hired girl attends to that. I do not walk for exercise,
 And haven't since I was sixteen, For I fare forth Sn sty1e-Im wise ride in motner's limousine. I don't sew buttons on or mend
 My clothes, my gloves or hat; I wrap a bundle up to send, The laundries attend to that. The only thing I do is dance,
 No other duties bore me, Some day some new machine, per
 chance,
 Will do my tangoing for me.
