DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contendlng
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their DIS
putes by the neigh of a horse the
bark of a dog or the bray OF a donkey
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens y better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political pi0ms
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry Gn
derstand that they ca7not turn the
public forum into political arena and
nv a. clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plo"
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.

Fathers and mothers. l pray you,
Deal gently with daughter and son.
And children, honor your parents,
Whatever they've said or done;
For bitterly 1 remember
When two could not agree,
There were bitter words and aparting
AS breaks an angry sea;
One left the home of childhood
For fratricidal strife,
And fought three years in the South

To save the Unions life;
And when victorious banners
That army homeward bore,
Returned to see in anguish
Beside his native shore
A face of sanity Wilderness
The grave forever hide
Remorse for foolish passion
And tears for wounded pride.
On the mourner's stricken conscience
A weary weight did lay
Which only Gods good angels
Could ever roll away.
But a crucified Redeemer
Hath suffered for our sin
That the crimson tide of Calvary
Might wash che foulest clean.
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea,
Millions of happy spirits
Are calling you and me;
Over the crystal portals
A Father will wait his boy
Till they that sow in tears
Shall reap again in joy.

THE OLD LOG CABIN.

Some wears ago, | remember,
A bright-eyed little girl
Came out of an old log cabin
Into the streets mad whirl;
Went over where q factory
Now stands across the way,
Saving she felt unhappy,
Father was cross that day.
And another sharply limited
Yet did not quite explain
How he'd taken something
Which must have hurt his brain;
For his steps were so unsteady
He kept his bed all day,
Within the sound of church bells
Where people praise and pray
While the choral anthems rising
Before the Great White Throne
Reached not soul benighted
Beneath the MONDAY sun.
Here thought l, is sermon,
Preached by little child
For a text, cross-gained father
With an appetite defiled;
No very heightened logic
But few can understand,
But known to the common people
/ In every rum-cursed land.
M usa Of sending Bibles
And missionaries new
In search of heather idols
In the wilds of Timbuctoo;
Nor weekly contributions
Expenses to defray,
Perchance to be embezzled
, Before they get half way.
If all the Christian graces
Cannot dispel the gloom
: Of bright-eyed little darling
In yonder cabin home.
S The climbing roses blossom
: Around the cabin door
Where sunbeams love to linger
And dance along the floor;
!, From every tree beside it
Sweet bird songs fill the air,
l. And all the spacious playground
.. Is fresh and green and fair.
i There's a plenty in the cabin
n Where peace might reign king
If only weakened manhood
: Touched not the unclean thing;
,e But anon, the storm clouds gather
Domestic thunders, roll,
r. All for the sake of poison
Mt To wreck a deathless soul.
