POETRY
IKE wALroN's PRAYER.

crave, dear Lord.
No boundless hoard
OF gold and gear,
Nor Jewels fine,
Nor lands, nor kline,
Nor treasure-heaps of anything
Let but a little but be mine
Where at the. hearthstone I may heal
The cricket sing.
And have the shine
OF one glad womans eyes to make
For my poor sake
Our Simple home a place divine
Love. and the smiling face of her.
pray not for
Great riches. nor
For vast estates and castle halls
Give me to hear the bare footballs
OF children Ger
An oaken floor
New-rinsed with sunshine or bespread
With but the tiny coyerlet
And, pray Thou, may
The door stand open and the day
With fragrance from the locust tree
And droWsy moan OF doves ant
OF robin chirps. and drone of. bees.
With afterhushes of the stir
OF intermingling sounds, and then
The good wife and the smile OF her
Filling the silence again
The cricket's call
And the wee cot,
Dear Lord of all,
Deny me not
pray not that
Men tremble at
My power of place
And lordly sway
| only pray for simple grace
To look my neighbor in the face
Yield me his horny hand to hold.
And I'll not pray
For gold
The tanned face. garlanded with nirth
1t hath the kingliest smile on earth
The swart brow, diamonded with sweat
Hath never need of Coronet.
And so reach
Dear Lord, to Thee,
And do beSeech
Thou giveSt me
The wee cot, and the cricket's chirr
Love. and the glad sweet face of her

NORWICH TOWN
Courier of 1922 Priced by Owner
Road Roller at Work on West Town
Street,


The Norwich Courier under date of
Wednesday, March 20, 1922, gives an
extract from the message of President
James Monroe to the house of repre-
sentatives, U. S.: "Of the movement in
Mexico our information is less anthem
tic than of the other Spanish prov
inces, but it is nevertheless distinctly
understood that the new government
has declared its independence, and that
there is now no opposition to 1t there,
or a force to make any. For the last
three years the government of Spain
has not sent single corps of troops
to any part of that country; nor is
there any reason to believe it will send
any in the future. President Monroe
adds in view of the success of the
revolution in the provinces south of
the United States, that the provinces
which have declared their independ-
ence, and are in enjoyment Of it, ought
to be recognized"
1.-THE latest from Europe came via
the ship Jones, Captain Davis. Cap
tain Davis is the bearer of dispatches
from the Spanish authorities to the
government of the United States.
There was no war in Spain and the
any other part of Europe"
The advertisements, which take
nearly twelve columns in a four-page
newspaper, show the activities of near
ly one hundred years ago, when Nor
witch was what is now Norwich Town.
The ads are over familiar names:
Lanman, Lathrop, Fitch, Tracy, Lewis
Hyde, Stedman, Perkins, Edgerton
Hubbard, Robinson, w. C. Gilman
Huntington & Ripley, Colt, Tyler,
Strong, Mech. Smith, and Backus.
This issue of The Courier is in the
possession of an uptown resident and
has been treasured in the family be-
cause it contains the marriage notice
of her parents.
