GOLD OR LOVE?

GOLD OR LOVE?
How high your pile of gold may be
Makes difference right small to me.
The matter l am thinking of
Is how deep runs your vein of Love1
Your gold may pile so very high
1t casts a cloud upon the sky.
Yet leave you if you chance to be
Devoid Of Love in poverty.

 Crowns Rathskellar was marked for attack by the mob in the belief that the proprietors are Austrians but the move was foiled when the authorities stationed a picket around the place An illuminated sign reading "Rath- skeliar." which gave offense to the soldiers, was taker down.
 The attack on the Riverside hotel was made in the face of an appeal by General Cruillshank, commanding the Thirteenth Military district who yes terday visited the barracks where the batallions were paraded and urged the soldiers to respect the law and refrain from rioting.
