"Out OF The Cradle"
By Walt Whitman

Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,
Out OF the hooking birds throat, the
musical shuttle.
Out OF the ninth-month midnight,
Over the sterile sands and the fields
beyond, where the child leaving his
bed wandered alone, bareheaded,
barefoot
Down from the showered halo,
Up from the mystic play of shadows
| tWlnlng and twisting as if they
were alive,
Out from the patches of briers and
blackberries,
From the memories of the bird that
chanted to me,
From your memories, sad brother.
from the ftful risings and fallings
| | heard,
From under the yellow half moon
late risen and swollen as if with
tears,
From those beginning notes of yearn-
ing and love there in the mist,
From the myriad thence aroused
words.
| From the thousand responses of my
heart never to cease,
From the word stronger and more
delicious than any,
From such as now they start the
| scene revisiting,
AS flock, twittering, rising, over
head passing,
Borne hither ere all eludes me, hur-
| riedly,
A man, yet by these tears a little
| boy again,
Throwing myself on the sands, con-
fronting the waves,
l, chanter of pains and joys, united of
| here and hereafter,
Taking all hints to use them, but
swiftly leaping beyond them,
A Renaissance sing.

Covetousness

I walked abroad whilst still the night
Was lingering; and faint light
Was all there was to tell of dawn;
And dew lay heavy on the lawn,
Until the sun aloft should spring
And make each lawn jeweled thing
And then, the night had grown more
old,
And the east held a tint of gold,
And, as birds song walked the morn
| reached the house where you were
born!
| am not rich, I would not try,
For wealth. The things, which wealth
can buy
Are mostly barren sort of joys;
Wealth can not buy baby's noise
Your baby's-when it wakes at dawn
And seems to know that night is
gone;
Wealth buys no friends, nor heals
distress;
Wealth buys no heartfelt tenderness;
Wealth can not purchase the glad
5000
Of a glad child-arms up to you.
But if I had modest store
Of wealth, I'd open wide the door
Of that house in the jeweled dawn
And ask it's inmates to be gone;
Kindly I'd ask to go away
From rooms where you first learned
to play;
I'd say: "'Twas here she learned tc
walk,
In this room she first tried to talk,
Here Mother crooned the by-o-lo.
This house is mine, forever. Co."
And I'd replace the things that were;
The little bed where winds would stil
Your yellow hair at dawn, and all
The playthings scattered in the hall
The corner where I'd use to "blind,
The cupboard you would hide behind
Should be replaced. That way could
Perhaps cling to your babyhood!

Legislature Opens
At Trenton With A
Fight Among Members

A hundred gentlemen, more or less,
met at Trenton last Tuesday to re-
sumo the running of the government
of the State of New Jersey. Twenty
counties with nearly 5000 square
miles of territory, occupied by 81
100000 human beings, and having a
value of about $3,000,000, 000-and
their management, this was the task
in hand.
The net result of the opening ses
sion was a hot fight between the Re-
publican majority and the Democratic
minority over the method of intro
ducing bills in the Assembly, the Re-
publicans insisting upon their being
received and considered personally
by the speaker and clerk before be-
ing presented to the House. The Re-
publican majority voted solidly in
favor of this method. Mr.. Geran
was the leader of the minority OPP
position.
Another matter moved was the
question of local option, introduced
in the Senate by Senator Gaunt, OF
Gloucester. This provided that upon
the signature of petition by thirty
per cent. of the voters of COM
munity an election should be called
to determine whether or not saloons
shall be allowed to exist in that
community.
Among the sixty-nine bills intro
duced on Tuesday may be noted that
of Senator Hennessy providing for
the exemption from taxation of i'm
provements and structures on real
estate. The Legislature adjourned to
meet again on Monday next.

The Soft Answer

The drill sergeant was real mus
tard, and the recruits were having a
bad time. The weather had been
very wet, and the parade ground was
still slippery. In doing movement
smartly, as an example to his men,
the sergeant slipped and fell full
sprawl, and naturally the "rookies"
could hardly repress their mirth.
Getting up with all the dignity he
could muster, the sergeant's eye fell
on Murphy's grinning face.
"Well, you grinning hyenaw he
roared. "What's hurting you? Do
you see anything funny?"
mo, soor," gurgled Murphy, tact
fully. "But, shure, Oh was just think
in what laugh we cud have had if
it had been anywan else save yer
self, sergeant!"-Tit-Bits.

Floor His Bed When
Wife Goes To Parents

Special Master in Chancery Will
lam P. Gilmore, of Jersey City, will
recommend to Chancellor Walker, at
Trenton, that Meyer Schwartz, a
dentist, of 554 jackson avenue, Jer-
sey City, be granted an absolute
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Hattie
M. Schwartz, of New York City.
This is to be the result of testi-
money taken before Gilmore to the
effect that the wife deserted Schwartz
in March, 1912.
II came home one night" testified
Schwartz before the Special Master,
land found that my wife had moved
every biz of furniture to her parents
home in Manhattan. / borrowed
some blankets and pillows from a
neighbor and slept on the floor that
night"
Testimony was introduced at the
hearing to the effect that Mrs.
Schwartz had been heard to remark
that she had mo more use for him. "
Schwartz declared that he believed
his wife's love for him had waned be-
cause he was not able to support her
in the style she was accustomed to
while living with her wealthy parents.
He said they had modest home in
Flatbush, and altogether his salary
was meagre, he had good prospects
for the future.
Attorney Adolph Wolman, of rs
Montgomery street, Jersey City, in
questioning his client, Schwartz,
brought out the fact that Mrs.
Schwartz had brought suit for separa-
ton from her husband in the New
York courts, but the judge had dis
missed her complaint. The couple
were married on May 10, 1910, and
have no children.-Observer.

Some Sound Advice

Keep a level head and lock up the
vocabulary-laboratory. The more
serious the situation the less need of
impressing the. gravity on any mind
worth troubling about. The more
general the PERCEPTION of the gravity
of events the less occasion for in
flammatory parts of speech. These
may be platitudes but they are AK
IONS of common sense They have
worked well in every previous crisis,
real or apparent. They have not lost
their value now. Nothing is easier
than to sizzle in the rhetorical way
in advance of twelve of thee lock.
Therefore keep the tongue cool, how
ever hot the heart; and shut up the
unofficial vocabulary At
present let Lansing do the talking
New York Sun.

BOYS Drowned In
Canal Near Scene
OF Prior Tragedy

Rudolph Jaerhaski, of Is Wester-
welt street, and Furry Pucgi, of 656
Grand street, Jersey City, both 1C
years of age, were drowned in the
icy waters of the Morris Canal Tues
day afternoon. The fatal accident
occurred only short distance from
the spot where Ira Stringham lost
his life on the previous Saturday in
saving two drowning lads. Patrol
man Thomas Lillis, of the Communi-
paw avenue station, is confined to
his home, at 1853 Seaview avenue, as
a result of shock and exposure re-
ceived in his efforts to recover the
bodies Of the dead boys.
The drowning took place shortl,'
after three o'clock at a point OPP
pesiittee ees tervelt street. The two
boys had been sliding on the ice,
which to all appearances was solid
and thick enough to bear their
weight. Suddenly the ice gave way
and they were immersed in the water
AS they fell through, their COM
panions standing on the bank raised
the cry for help. One of the boys
playmates, whose last name was
Winters, ran through Westervelt
street and met two men-Charles
Atkinson, of Is Westervelt street
and Thomas Deahan, of 361 Wood
ward street-coming from saloon
on Grand street, near the scene OF
the tragedy. They were told of the
accident and Immediately rushed to
the spot where the boys had disap-
Ty, hn oy,ts fol.
laborer employed by the Lehigh
Valley Railroad and Patrolman Lillis
had appeared on the scene.
Without further hesitation Lillis
dove into the water, smashing the ice
for a considerable area about the
point where the boys had fallen
through.
While he was searching for their
bodies, the other men secured ropes
and placed planks across the canal
After several minutes in the water,
Lillis was fast losing his strength and
becoming benumbed. A rope was
thrown to him, which he managed to
tie around his waist In this way
he was enabled to dive beneath the
surface and feel for the bodies.
f1IteI dDOuC CWclNG uOHuIeS VI
searching the body of Pucgi was re-
covered by the Patrolman and brought
to shore. Jaerhaski's body was then
seen floating nearby. Charles Atkin-
son went in this time and secured the
other body. While this work was in
progress an ambulance from the City
Hospital was summoned. DR.. Mar
kowitz, of the hospital staff, worked
over the bodies and after some time
pronounced the boys dead. Both
were removed to Magurie's Morgue.
Patrolman Lillis was weak and ex
hausted after his heroic work, and
was rushed to the City Hospital,
where upon examination, he was
found to be suffering from shock and
exposure. The following evening he
was removed to his home and is still
confined there.
Jaerhaski and Pucgi were pupils at
Public School No. 10, on Johnston
avenue. Their parents are frantic
over their sudden bereavement.

My Conscience
By James Whitcomb Riley

Sometimes my Conscience says, says
he,
Don't you know me?"
And l, says I, skeered through and
through,
"Of course I do.
You air a nice chap ever way,
I'm here to say!
You make me cry-you make me
pray,
And all them good things hathaway
That is, at night. Where do you
stay
Durin' the day."
And then my Conscience sort o. grits
His teeth and spits
On his two hands and grabs, of
course,
Some old remorse,
And beats me with the big but-end
O. that thing-'tel my clostest friend
I'D hardly know me. "Now," says he,
"Be keerful as you'd orto be
And allus think O. mel"

The Fortunate Isles
BY JOAQUIN Miller

BY Joaquin Miller
You sail and you seek for the For
tunate Isles,
The old Greek Isles of the yellow
birds sond?
Then steer straight on through the
watery miles,
Straight on, straight on, and you
can't go wrong.
Nay, not to the left; nay, not to
the right;
But on, straight on, and the isles
are in sight,
The Fortunate Isles, where the vel
low birds sing
And life lies girt with golden
ring.
These Fortunate Isles, they are not
far;
They lie within reach of the low
Hest door,
You can see them CLEAN by the twi-
light star,
You can hear them sing by the
moons white shore.
Nay, never look back! Those leveled
gravestones
They were landing steps; they were
Steps unto thrones
Ut glory for souls that have sailed
before
And have set white feet on the
fortunate shore.
And what are the names of the For
tunate Isles?
Why, Duty and Love and a large
Content. -
Lo! these are the isles of the waterv
miles
That God let down from the firma-
ment.
Lo! Duty and Love, and true mans
trust;
Your forehead to God and vour
feet in the dust;
Lo! Duty and Love, and a sweet
babes smiles,
And there, Oh, friend, are the For
tunate Isles.

Autumn made a protest:
"They tell me / am 'sad,'
But why should / be signing
When all my winds are glad?
Think you would be grieving

And even as / listened
A joyous breeze went by,
Kissing her golden tresses:-
No shadow of sigh

From her tresses, to the sky!

Another party pledge was carried
out Wednesday afternoon when the
House of Assembly passed the series
of municipal finance bills introduced
by Assemblyman Pierson, of Union
County. In nearly every instance the
entire membership of the house vot-
ed for the bills. These bills were
drafted on the information CT a COM
mittee appointed at the last session
of which Mr.. Pierson was the chair
man. The Union County Assembly
nan is entitled to unstinted praise for
the splendid work he has done which
will result in a lasting service to the
State. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the bills will also pass the
Senate and be signed by the Cover
nor.
The operation of the Pierson bills,
it is believed, will work for economy,
efficiency and stability in the govern
ment of the various municipalities of
the State. They will also increase
the confidence of those who purchase
the bonds of any municipality and
establish the credit of a municipality
on a irmer foundation.
