Thou lay'st them, with all their cares

In beauty's pride arrayed;
But long ere night cut down it lies
All wither'd and decay'd.
EpistIe to Young Friend
Q786)
long have thought, my youthful
friend,
OF something to have sent you,
Tho it should serve no other end
Than just kind memento:
But how the subject theme may gang,
Let time and chance determine;
Perhaps it may turn out a sang;
Perhaps turn out sermon.
Yell try the world soon my lad;
And, Andrew dear, believe me,
Yell find mankind an uncouth squad
And much they may grieve ye-
For care and trouble set your thought
Ev'n when your ends attained;
And all your views may come to
naught,
Where every nerve is strained.
I'll not say, men are villains all
The real, harden'd wicked,
Who have no check but human law,
Are tn n few restricted.
But och! mankind are uncouth weak
An little to be trusted;
II self the wavering balance shake,
It's rarely right adjusted!
Yet they who fall in fortunes strife,
Their fate we should not censure;
For still the important eEd of life
They equally may answer;
A man may have an honest heart,
Tho poverty hourly stare him;
A man may take a neighbor's part,
Yet have no cash to spare him.
Aye free, off-hand, your story tell,
When with a bosom crony;
But still keep something to yourself
Ye scarcely tell to any;
Conceal yourself as wells you can
From critical dissection;
But look through every other man
With sharpened, sly inspection.
To catch dame Fortunes golden smile
Assiduous wait upon her;
And gather gold by every vile
That's justified by honor;
Not for to hide 1t in a hedge,
Nor for train attendant
But for the glorious privilege
on being independent.
The fear Of hels hangman's whip
To hold the wretch in order.
But where you feel your honor grip
Let that aye be your border;
It's slightest touches. instant pause
Debar all side-pretenses;
And resolutely keep its laws,
Uncaripg consequences.
When ranting round in pleasures
ring,
Religion may be blinded;
Or II she gave a random sting,
1t may be little minded;
But when on life we're tempest driv-
en-
4 conscience but a canker-
A correspondence fixed with Heaven.
Is sure a noble anchori
Adieu, dear. amiable youth!
Your heart can ne'er be wanting.
May prudence. fortitude, and truth,
Erect your brow undaunting!
In plowman phrase, God send you
speed
Still daily to grow wiser:
And may you better heed the advice
Than ever did the adviser!

ROBERT BURNS

January 25th marks the anniversary
of the birthday of Robert Burns.
Scotland is justly proud of her bril-
liant son and this admiration is fully
shared by lovers of genius and lib
erty everywhere throughout the civ
ilized world.
Burns was one of those stars Of the
first magnitude that seem to be CIV
en- to the world just once.
Agreeable to custom and as tri-
butte to his memory. We publish two
poems from the pen of this gifted
poet and philosopher. Over CEN
tury and quarter have passed since
they were written:
Junius.
The first six verses of the Nine
teenth Psalm:
Oh Thou, the first, the greatest friend
or all the human race!
Whose strong right hand has ever
Their stay and dwelling place!
Before the mountains heav'd their
heads
Beneath Thy forming hand,
Before this ponderous globe itself
Arose at Thy commando
That power which rais'd and still up
holds
This universal frame,
From countless unbeginning time
Was ever still the same.
Those mighty periods of years
Which seem to us SO vast,
Appear no more before Thy sight
Than yesterday that's past.
Thou giv'st the word: Thy creature,
man,
Is to existence brought;
Again Thou sayst, Eye sons of men,
Return ye unto naught!'
Thou lay'st them, with all their cares
In everlasting sleep;
AS with a flood Thou tak'st them off
With overwhelming sweep.
They flourish like the morning flower
In beauty's pride arrayed;
But long ere night cut down ii lies
All wither'd and decay'd

No Official Word
Yet Received But
News Dispatches
Are Disappointment

Washington, Dec. 16.-Austria's reply to Secre-
tary Lansing note the Ancona is regarded, the
basis of unofficial reports received from London and
Amsterdam, as wholly unsatisfactory, unacceptable
and disappointing to the United States. Diplomatic
relations between the two countries may safely be
described as standing at the breaking point.
President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are re-
serving comment until they have the official transla-
ton of the text at hand but stated authorta-
lively that the United States will enter into no eX-
change Of opinions the Vienna foreign Office is
presented as suggesting, and absolutely will decline to
discuss the facts of the torpedong and sheng of the
Ancona by an Austrian submarine with the loss of
American lives. ...- 81. ya :.
From such part of the unofficial text as was con-
tanned in the news dispatches officials considered the
reply vague in many respects, but they not pre-

latlon. ''>.#
A suggestion for an exchange of opinions, vir-
tual request for bill OF particulars of the American
complaint against the action of the submarine

clearly set forth, however.
In the unofficial text, officials of the state depart

unhesitatngy declared that all would be refused 1t
made clear that the United States does not pro-
prose to enter into diplomatic discussion which
would have possibilities being prolonged almost inde-
tntely.
Early today the state department had no official
word from Vienna whatever the American reply to
the Ancona note. Secretary Lansing read news dis
patches containing excerpts of the Austrian reonder
but reserved any comment until he has received the
full official text from Ambassador Penfeld.
It was made clear authoritatively however, that
if the whole text of the reply in the tone as the
cabled extracts it will be regarded by the United
States unsatisfactory. It was made plain that the
United States will not accept the suggestion of enter
ing into diplomatic correspondence which may be
prolonged. .,.-' o.

IN ENGLAND

London, Dec. 16.-In the house OF
lords yesterday the Earl OF Derby, di-
rector of recruiting, when questioned
regarding the results of his recruiting
declined to give any figures
in advance of Premier Asquith's state
ment, which will be made public next
week. The earl declared, however, that
I'VE were absolutely showed under"
with recruits last week and that the
gross total of enrollments was very
large. He added that it would be i'm
possible to call up the married men
until the country was absolutely con-
vinced that single men had come for
ward to enlist to such an extent as to
leave only a negligible quantity unac-
counted for ......
1--WE must keep faith to the pledge
the premier gave the married men,"
said the earl. Nobody can yet say
whether or not the single men have
come forward in sufficient numbers.
That will be known Tuesday"
