THE BIRD CENSUS.

Each year groups of bird enthusiasts
in many parts OF the United States take
4 Christmas census Of the birds. The

interesting and valuable record Of winter

PARAMOUNT PARAMOUNTCY.

OF the three new and paramount issues
named by Mr.. Bryan Tor the campaign

Such a system of highways, il con-
strtted anew and apart from those now

be. therefore, in the matter OF creating

suppose he stands for the national con-

HEAVEN ON EARTH

Here's the time of mirth and laughter
Not in some far-off hereafter;
Here's the land of smiling faces,
Not In strange and distant places,
Which perhaps We Il see tomorrow
In n world where there's no SORROW
Here's the land where men are blcst
And where they achieve their best.
Think you when yon've passed deaths
portals
To the realm OF the immortals,
That your soul shall wake TO gladness
If in life il found but sadness;
II it saw on earth no beauty,
But went blindly to its duty,
Missing all that makes life fair,
Will it see the glory there?
Here is Heaven in The making
Despite hearta that may be aching,
And the cares that men are hearing,
As the roads of life they re farlngi
Here are Joys and merry laughter
And the peace we want hereafter
We must learn to know them here,
Not In some celestial sphere.
Rise above your cares and forrUuE!
Build on earth your glad tomorrowHl
DO not wait until life closes,
Ere you stop to gather roses;
Here, amid iifes round OF duty,
Find its eladness and its beauty
Fit your soul for what awaits
