A Song of Love

The time I've lost in wooing, In watching and pursuing,
 The light that lies
 In woman's eyes, Has been my hearts undoing. Though Wisdom oft has sought me 1 scorn the lore she brought me,
 My only books
 Were women's looks, And folly's all they've taught me. And are those follies going? And is my proud heart growing
 Too cold CT wise
 For brilliant eyes Again to set it glowing? No-vain alas! tn endeavor From bonds so sweet to sever---
 Poor Wisdom's chance
 Against a glance Is now as weak as ever.
 Thomas Moore.

Compensation.

What is the use of it? 1 said, As we stood in the mellow matin
 glow, And watched the misty mountains
 head
 Into the glorious daylight grow; And darkened vale and purpled plain Were bathed in bursting aureole, While far and wide the nascent tide Of fulsome life enshrined my soul. Who recks if death shall come at last Oh death, we ask, where is thy
 sting? For all must pass through portals vast To meadows sweet with eternal
 spring. Our flowers must fade but from their
 mould,
 Come fairer blooms to joy our sight And gloom pervades that midnight
 shades
 May soon gives way to Gods own
 light.

In Memory of a Friend.

We know-oh, God, what do we know? That one we loved lies meath the
 flowers,
 Where Oakland's sacred walls enclose His form beloved, this friend of ours An, this we know, but faith sustains The hope our hands shall clasp again Beyond the dark confines of earth,
 WhereI sight succeeds'to mortal ken. Iris not as though some dark'ning void Should sweep our loved ones from
 our view,
 But like great ships that sail away To ports that we shall sail into. Those who deliberately look for trouble by running for governor may find that there is more pleasure in pursuit than in possession. Caleb Corntossle says that a bird in the hand is worth a whole avalanche of rolling stones.
 What is your name, little girl?" asked the teacher.
 q don't like to tell" she replied bashfully,
 But you must tell me your name" insisted the teacher.
 Well, my name is Ford" and the child blushed rosily.
 Why, that's nice name; there is nothing wrong with that"
 "Yes, but you see, my first name is Iona," and the child burst into tears. Arkansas produce that spells for want of market would feed the state. That statement belongs in the Gospel column instead of the joke column. Think about it.

Daniel Boone.

Westward, forever westward, like a
 star He strode the night of forests, giant
 lone Impassioned lover of the wide Un-

 avatar In virgin worlds, through travail and
 through war, He heard the tempest on the noun
 tain moan; He felt the red foes fury match his But westward, ever westward, rode
 afar. Along the trail he trod with swing
 ing blade Now teeming cities thunder to the
 skies The noise of commerce and the road
 of trade Here paens forth his ancient victo-
 ries, Whom nature fashioned for heriod
 moods The patriot of her primal solitudes.

DAVID WAKEFIELD.


Whenever the appearance OF David
Warfield is announced great interest
is aroused among playgoers, for this
sterling actor more than any other
player on the stage pulls at the heart
strings of his auditors. In Mr.. War
fields marvellous playing tears are
intermingled with laughter, just
enough to add that touch of pathos
to his delicious comedy that strikes
the big human chord in his brilliant
acting. The announcement that Mr..
Wariield is TO appear at The Play
house in David Belasco's latest
drama, Ivan Der Decken," le-
gendary play of the sea, naturally
provokes widespread interest. Mr..
Warfield will make his appearance on
Saturday night in the new play from
which much is expected of the great
artist. That his newest role will pro-
vide even greater possibilities for the
display Of his marvellous art than has
been witnessed before is a safe con-
clusion to draw upon.
