Visions
By j. B.

The ecstasy of loves first sacred kiss
l know not of, save what been read
or told;
Or, in some fancied thot where dreams
would hold
Some rapturous delight where love
seemed this:
l sometimes think the lovers that de-
part,
Sleep not in death, but rather in that
cline
Where Amphion's Tyre sets music to
the time;
And Orpheus' songs in loves verse
wakes each heart.
In that elysian place they love once
more;
Ienfold where time has found each
one true.
From their abode where skies are COL
ored blue,-
Perhaps, who knows, like as in days of
yOre,
They hover round, like molecules I'M
seen,
Merrily dancing to the zephyr's sway
In their old haunts where children now
would play
| can but think that death fills some
past dream.

GE MS OF TH0T
From our exchanges.

Familiarity breeds contempt there
fore, we despif ourselves.
Theories are no good unless they are car
ried to a successful conclusion.
A genial chump will do humanity more
good then the grouchy genius.
Remembering you are man is much
better than thinking you are prisoner
Virtues. like vices, are cultivated; bu
they are harvested on different fields.
You may have great intellect, but with
out will power you can accomplish nothing.
Many of us who sowed wild oats on
marble floors, harvested them among pile
of rocks.
We may be fond of leisure, but will be
glad when we can say: 'we have no more
time
You are maker of your own future.
Have faith in yourself.
Learn all you can.
Cultivate sense of humoI.
Work, live plainly, be thorough.
Never stand still.
Be strong in pain.
Hate nothing but your own weakness.
Only he can truly teach, who is himself
teachable.
A good man is happy within him self and
independent of fortune.
Protect your job as carefully as you pro-
tect your note in bank.
Truth never lodges no matter who
shoots.
If you cannot get the best, get the best
possible.
We always hurt only ourselves when we
try to hurt others.
Many man, willing to be guilty, be-
come scared, and is only indiscreet
The most powerful sermon is an upright,
useful and successful life
Some people think that keeping out of
Jail is an achievement.
Bold rogues never fail to take advantage
of the cowardice of the good citizen.
Others play large part in your life, and
your conduct inspires contempt or respect.
Accept few favors, and see that you have
good title to what you earn.
No one raises the fallen until the fallen
have been properly pummeled. Better
keep on your feet.

BY Uncle John

Last WEDNESDAY evening we again ENJOY
ed fine "movie'' show. The first reel,
"sonny Jim" was very good, the little chap
is fine actor. The next picture "Lucky
Strike" was good and the scene where the
fat jolly millionaire ''goes to" that pie sure
did arouse an appetite in us for some. The
Ham" feature was one continual laugh and
the last reel, 1.-THE Sheriff and the Squaw"
was also good. The Professor and the Or
chestra boys rendered some fine selections in
their usual excellent style, which were very
much enjoyed.
1t is very gratifying to know that all the
members of the Chautauqua Circle are all
in favor of pushing the Mirror along, and
it is not more than right, this paper is not
published for outsiders, but for the benft of
the inmates. So please get busy.
Half dozen teams were kept busy for
several days during the week, removing
snow from the yard, and it looks as if
they will have to start all over again.
ANY one who has had one or more lib
rary books in his cell for some time will
kindly place same in the exchange basket,
unless you have permit from the Deputy,
or cell hall Captain. Several books are
missing and we want to locate them.
Two car loads OF -four were received in
the yard last Friday for the Stewards dept.
1t kept the yard-crew busy for time car
rying same to the basement, under the
kitchen.
One car load of hay rake wheels were
received for the state machine dept. and
piled under the wood shed for future use.
The Orchestra Boys surprised the inmates
of the hospital last Thursday with a con-
cert which was very much appreciated.
And now Canada intends to annex the
whole United States. The idea is good
one, she sure could get plenty of recruits to
send to the war in Europe. What next?

man who used to boast of the amount OF
money his red nose has cost him. FIX.
Did you ever hear of man who would
not fight for $35, 0003 did not and don't
think Jesse Willard will refuse the offer.
It's strange but true that good listener
often succeeds where a fine talker has no
chance at all.
When man thinks he knows it all and
then goes out and gets married, he proves
it beyond doubt, that ingnorance is bliss.
1t is claimed that jurors often suffer more
than the person who is on trial. Now
then, is it any wonder that they want to
get out of the agony as soon as possible.
They say: 'The pen is mightier than
sword" don't think so, believe that the
sword is mightier than the pen.
According to New York Supreme Court,
"a mans home is where his wife is" now
suppose she is in Europe and you can't get
home what about it!
The people of this country have settled
hard propositions in the last century, and
am sure they will settle this dangerous
controversy in satisfactory way without
going to war.
Christian Science Services were held in
the Auditorium last Sunday.
We had the pleasure to hear Miss Verna
Lean, of Saltwater, last Sunday morning,
who favored us with one of her beautiful
solos during services.

Brightness of Life

Brightness of Life
A thought that is winged from friend
to friend
Doesn't seem such wonderful thing;
Yet it carries the prayer for joy with
out end,
And it throbs with big, friendly
ring.
A mere word of cheer, in the shadow
of night,
When Encouragement darkens the
way,
Will illumine our hearts with the glo-
rious light
Of hopeful and sun-brigtened day.
When failure confronts us and darkens
our goals,
How we long for the clasp of a hand!
1t is then that we cry from the depths
of our souls
TOI q WIZ Gall just
stand
A bright, CHEEKY smile often gives us
the strength
That We lack in the vortex of strife,
For it lightens our load as we travel
the length
Of The coro-ladep moth ue COLL ife
So we find, after all, that the things
we thought small
Loom colossal above all the host;
That the best of Gods gifts are the
friends we can call
To our side when we need them the
most.

The Wedding Bells
By C.L. S.

Oh, wedding bells you seem to ring
Off in the distance far,
And it's to me the joy you bring d.
As to the brightest star.
You bring to memory, dreams of old
A sweetheart dressed in white
You bring the girl love to hold
The girl l have in sight.
And wedding bells if dreams come true
And visions near and far,
Well walk into that little church
Beneath the heavenly stars.
Oh, wedding bells, and God pray
That thou will guide us two
AS we go forth into the world
To be forever true.

HON.
AS the crimson sun was setting
Behind the horizon of the west,
All Nature seemed to be sleeping
And all the earth was at rest.
Yet there comes faint echo
From the distant hills away,
AS maiden brings her sheep
From the woodland at close of day.
And for the day her work is done
As she wanders down the hill,
There comes from the far distance
The soft notes of a whippoorwill.
And her heart is light and free
AS DER her shoulders tresses brown
Are tossed by the evening breeze
Just as the crimson sun goes down.
AS down to the village church
She slowly winds her way,
AS the glorious sun was setting
Just at the close of dav.
