XYFS SO-CAILED THOUGHTS An Analytical Eevicw of Staten Island and Its Numerous Attractions.

Jle Is Betrajcd bj a Telephone The Sew AbIntion Place at South Beach The Writer . Hales an Effort to he Fair and Truthful StatenIsland,wheretheKew York Lea gue pmea Trill he played this season, is an oblate spheroid -wliera the Democrats, last fall were flattened at tho polls. St. George, -which is twenty-five minutes from New York via tho Statue of Liberty, is the point Trhcre the disemboweled umpire may be found. St George is not really a town. It is not even a postoffiee; it is only a name. It has a fino base-ball ground, however, a bank, a blight and handsome paper called the "Staten Islander, " and a telephone, by means of which ono can converse with parties in New York, but it has no inhabitants. I desired one evening to converse with Mr. Chauncey Depew upon i personal matter, so I masked for the New York Central office. I got it promptly, and after revealing a large quantity of secrets of the order, including grips, pass-words and signs of distress, the voice He Zabort with the Telephone. at the other end of the line made the statement "Eats." - ' I then learned that I had laid bare my most precious thoughts to the N. Y. Central Office of the telephone, not to the 1S Y. C. & II. IL B. B. 6. I contributed to the laughingstock of the Telephone Company instead of utilizing the rolling stock of the road. Back of St. George landing, the ground rises rapidly br means of a series of beautiful terraces, along which may be found the abode of wealth and beauty. From theso terraces, the game of ball may be seen readily if any one will step to the window overlooking the harbor. The rent of houses goes up every summer along tho terraces because spectacular shows and base-ball games may be seen freely by means of a glass from thoso residences. Last year Sig Blondin gave an exhibition at theso grounds on the tight-rope or wire. Thoso who did not care to see him were almost compelled to pnll down the blind. I went down to witness the opening game of ball at St. George this season, but was Jiained to notice that the magnanimous elm rom which I had heretofore witnessed'the out-door r pectacles. on these grounds, had been filled full of sharp spikes. This course will not only hurt the management, but others who would be glad to foster and encourage, by voice and pen, all manly athletic sports of an out-door nature. I spoke to the door-tender about it and said 1 was a great hand for sport and would like to i see the noble American game this summer from time to time on those grounds, lie said not on those grounds. , Possibly on some other grounds, but not on these grounds. I then pulled a cork out of a knot-hole in the fence by means of a corkscrew which lhad Xje Tietct (he Ball Game. brought with me, not knowing what might happen, and through the aperture I saw the fame, though, of course, imperfectly. When left the hole, there was a ring-worm around its circumference quite distinctly, where I had chafed the board with my nose while trying to follow the course of the lofty fly. Early in the afternoon DeCappa's justly Celebrated band played some overtures, interspersed with interludes. The disadvantage of a knot-hole as a lorgnette is that one has to look through it with his ear while the band plays, or miss the melody. I do not know much about base-ball, and, for that reason, I have been repeatedly called upon to umpiro the game. People are apt, iu choosing their umpires, as in choosing their juries, to confuse ignorance and impartiality. The game was played between our own New York cli'b and that of Cleveland. O. First, our club would awat the ball and run around the goals for awhile, and then the other would do so. This was kept Tip until Cleveland had live, and the New xorks had just what they started with. Speaking of Cleveland reminds me that I ww him. tho other day, walking up the BtreetTrith ex-Secretary Fairchild, between 5 and 6 o'clock, going home like a plain American citizen from his work, ecorning the horse-cars, the elevated road and the cabs. I had heard that Mr. Cleveland was very rarely recognized on the street here, ana so I kept my eye on the two men for several blocks. They were absolutely unrecognized, to all appearance, and the exPresident actually finds more solitude on Broadway than he did when he quietly went away on his bridal tour to a secluded place where he could commune witli himself, and Tvokft up in the morning tolind the front yard full of artists, correspondents and telegraph instruments. 1 presume that nothing maKCs a newly-married President madder, as I may say, than while strolling about the grounds at eventide, looking u? into the clear and quiet sky, when the full-orbed honeymoon scoots across the heavens, suddenly to stumble over a telegraph-wire, connected with a great paper. But we are speaking of Staten island. Perhaps Staten island is, to the majority of the residents even of New York, a terra incognita. It is also a terra to the police sometimes, for, being thirteen and a half miles long by seven and three-qnarter miles in width, nine policemen have great difficulty in being on the ground when . trouble occurs, especially when the roads are bad. So the Staten island policeman's . life is not one of luxurious ease, as one i might suppose. My heart has not been ko -touched for years as last autumn, while fctroliiDg through the beantifulwoodswbich .rc engaped in clothing the hillsides of the inlaud. The air was crisp and exhilaratinirjthe blue sea glimmered through the red and gold of the autumnal foliage. Sudr denly I thought I heard a sob. Ever ready to comfort the distressed, provided it does uot cost anything; always on hand to ask the Buffering if it still hurts, and if so, vli'To it hurts, and engage the Batterer in plating conversation, I climbed the fence - : tl p-yetrated still furtheriuto the woods, - -Lerw I lcnud a policeman. Tears were in '..jcy'2. l ean bear anything better than - "i r i.ht of a policeman bathed in tears. :ir-:l the cause of his angnish. He -4 ? : v;zs to q.uiet and lonely on his

beat that he had strolled off into the woods, and in an unguarded moment he had thrown his club into a chestnut tree to

Silent and Vnobtnitire Sympathy, knock down a few nuts, not having had a chance to knock down anything else for a long time, and the club had remained up there. lie dared not go home or back on the beat without his club, for it would be a disgrace, and, besides that, he might be attacked by Home one on his way home and have no means of defending himself. It was a sad case. Later on, however, a bad boy, by turning State's evidence, and getting a promise from the policeman that he should be free from, arrest for live years, went np tho tree aud returned witn tho billy do. Staten island has nineteen postoffices and a fort. Fort Wadsworth has an excellent 6ite for a fort, but there is so little lighting to bo done lately, and there is such close competition that it is not self-supporting. I am told that if intlueutial friends at Washington did not do something for it every year it would have to bo abandoned. South Beach is now getting to be tho Coney Island of the approaching season. Excursionists can ride from the Harlem to South Beach for 15 cents, which, on the round trip, gives each excursionist 20 cents advantage over Coney Island. This amount, which is carefully invested in beer, will, in one season, yield large returns. Added to all this. South Beach has a water front, a large number of merry-go-around s and fresh baked peanuts. Beer can be had by approaching only authenticated parties in tho proper way. Many people are benefited every year by sitting at the seaside where they hear the billows burst on the strand, while they quaff some more beer. I knew a man oneo who went to the seaside a living skeleton, but by patiently and regularly watching the other people bathe every afternoon, his pores were opened, and by drinking beer at odd times, whenever tho idea occurred to him, he became so healthy that it was almost impossible to make the lid of his cotlin stay on. But those who ride to the ball game or to South Beach do not see the best part of Staten island. The hundreds of beautiful walks and drives through the most wonderfully diversified wealth of verdure, the combination of land and sea, the old homes, the broad grounds, the continual change and surprise as a new style of landscape with the sea in the distance, are not understood by those who skim the borders of the island and follow tho crowd. The crowd is what fctaten island has fought against for years, and although it does not invade beyond the lines of transit aud the beach, the tide of hot humanity from. the populous kilns of the city has set in towards South Beach. Staten inland in revolutionary times was extremely tory in its politics, but is now friendly to the United States with the exception, perhaps, of a slight bitterness still felt toward Constable's Hook. Constable's Hook is like Adams and Jeflerson. Though dead, it still speaks. A man who had lived lor a long time at Constable's Hook might blow out his gas at night and wake up bright and refreshed in the morning. Asphyxia would be a pleasant relaxation for him. The time in coming, and at no distant day, when Staten island and Manhattan island will woTk together J more harmoniously, and as business picks np and trade is encouraged, many Staten island business men will have quiet homes in New Jiork. The feeling of rivalry, though keen and active, is a purely friendly oue, and tbero is no bitterness at all. ' There is no reason why New York and Tompkinsville should not walk together hand in hand in tho great march of progress. Each has her sphere of action, each-her allotted task, each her field of work. "While some classes of merchandise may be bought cheaper in New York, owing to railroad competition between the latter and Chicago, other lines of goods are cheaper at Tompkinsville. Though I live on Staten island I have not allowed my prejudices to influence me in any way iu what I have said. I have tried to be fair and truthful in what I have said, for I have the kindliest feeling toward New York and always have had, and after a hard and active day in the busy marts of trade at Tompkinsville, nothing rests me or builds me up like an evening's romp or a straw ride on Fifth avenne. Bill N ye. Copyright, 1899, by Edgar W. Xye.) FASniOX NOTES. Big classic loops, sty led "Creole earrings," are all the rage in Paris. Simplicity and quamtness are the hall marks of style upon your thin midsummer gowns. White cloth costumes will be in high favor this summor for seashore and mountain wear. liibbou bracelets to match tho costume are very pretty. Many are fastened by tiny jeweled pins. Bonnets, with the old-fashioned Marie Attoinette points are again to be 6eeu in the world of millinery. Bonnets for youug ladies are tabooed, a very sensible reform, for the bonnet always added a few years to even the most youthful face. To have your gingham gown cut low at the throat and edged by a broad frill or the material is now considered the correct thing. Big turned-down collerettes of white lace, with turned-back culls to match, will grace beauty's throat and wrists in the near summer. Black gowns are generally relieved with touches of color here aud there. Embroidery in soft, dull cashmero tints is the best thing wherewith to brighten them. The Wattean fiat of fine yellow Leghorn, shaped wide in front and narrow at tbo back, with many dents and bends, and a, big wreath of flowers, is the hat of the beuson. Among the newest colors are "soap bine." a soft, dull, gray -blue; "oak heart' a Pink with hints of red and yellow, and 'dried roseleaf." which reproduces faithfully tho faint yellow cream of the dead petals. Mignonette is the prettiest of all the countless shadesof gret n.and it is combined with tan color, and lighted with the smallest suggestion of scarlet, making costumes which may be worn either by blonde or brunette. There is nothing prettier for evening wear at the seashore or mountains than the little jackets of white wool basket cloth, trimmed with marabout or swausdown, tbe soft feathers or down adding much to the charm of tho delicate complexion. Women should remember that the straight, unbroken lines of tho redingote are by no means becoming to alL Neither very short, fleshy women, nor those tall ami slender, need expect the happiest results from the adoption of this rather trying garment. Gown of black lace or net are now standard, like the traditional black Bilk. The latest variaut is to have alternate rows of moire ribbon and Chantilly insertion running round and round the skirt, Another fancy is to have the front of lace, in three deep flounces, and the back of soft, black China silk, falling straight and full in a moderate train. Sashes, though exhibited in every fabric, are now very generallv of the softest silks, and frequently rf the same silk as the dress. When a boutlant style of dress, or the tournuro, wns more pionouncedlv in fashion, still' ribbons, such as moire, Turesatin and brocade, were in favor, but with the directoire and empire effects, with their straight Hues and uulooped draperies, 6of ter sashes look far better.

READING FOR THE SABBATH. Sunday-School Lesson for Jane 9. Jesus Before Pilatc (Mark xv, 1-20.) Golden Text. Pilate salth unto them, take ye Him, and crucify Him. (John xix, 6.) HOMK READINGS. Mon. Jesus before Pilate Mark xv, 1-10 Tues. Jesus before Pilate Mark xv, 11-20 Wed. TUatc's questions John xvlli, 28-36 Thurs. Pilate's fear John xix, 4-16 Fri.

Acts ii, 1-12 Each of the evangelists gives some incidents that occurred during these last days of Christ's life that are not given by others. From this lesson to the close Mark lacks the interest of the others, which may bo readily accounted for by remembering that his great authority, reter, during these days was in sore distress on account of his denial, and was not in condition to notice or remember many of the important incidents of the storv. When the Jews brought -Jesus before Pilate he required a formal accusation, and the priests tried to evade it (John xviii, 29-32). As the Roman' Pilate would care nothing for a religious charge of blasphemy, they accuse Jesus of sedition (Luke xxiii, 23), a civil charge of which he soon acquits himself (John xviii.83-38). Learning that he was a Galilean, Pilate sends him to Herod, the ruler of Galilee, who was in the city (Luke xxiii, 4-12). He sends him back. Pilate then proposes a compromise, and thinks it enough to scourge Jesus (Luke xxiii, 13-17). But the crowd of people, instigated by the Jewish rulers and priests, reject the ottered release of Jesus, and demand his dflath and the release of Barabbas. Pilate goes through the form of washing his hands of any guilt in the matter (Matt, xxvii. 24), and delivers Chri8t to the Hoinan soldiers, who knew no better than to mock and scourge him. Pilate made other feeble attempts to save Jesus, but finally gives him up to be crucified. WIIAT TIIE LESSON TEACHES. New York Independent. Jesus was condemned as early as he could be in the morning. It often happens that the first thoughts and impulses on awaking govern those of the day. The Germans ave a proverb to the effect that he who is unbearable and cross during the day must have drunk ink early in the morning. To begin the day by prayer, as soon as the eyes are open, as soon as consciousness returns, is tno surest way of defeating the enemy who is waiting for our slumbers to cease to begin the campaign. Pilate was a ghastly example of a man who subordinated law and conviction to the acquisition of popularity. To have one's name admiringly spoken iu parlors and hotel corridors for this or that frothy accomplishment, or for some dishonorable concession to the masses is a different thing from holding the respect of the few who are experts in high life and deep-seated moralitv. Pilate had a wife, who, if she was not a disciple, yet had the intuition of a woman for righteousness. A man can do little better, after trusting God, than to trust a good woman's intuition. Jews, who were the leaders of the people, clamored like maniacs for Christ's ignominious death. Prejudice was a potent canse. A great many are apt to mistake their prejudice for the law aud the Gospel. Knvv, and the cause ot tho antagonism toward Christ was so evident that the Roman perceived it. Of all the sins that come hissing hot from hell, envy is probably the worst. It is the hatred one feels because another is superior to or more successful than himself. Few escape a mild contagion of this 6in. llo who prefers ease to truth, luxury to honor, a position in society to righteousness, popularity to spirituality, chooses Barabbas rather than Christ. Christ bore torment and abuse, mockery and death, with peculiar self-possession. There are times (let us pray for wisdom to perceive them) when silence in abuse wins the vie"Sis lesson is typical of the rejection of

General Religious News. It is expected that Bramwell Booth will soon succeed his father as "general" of the Salvation Army. Postmaster-general Wanamakerhas promised to be present at the parade of the Brooklyn Sunday-school children on Juno 0. President and Mrs. Harrison will review the parade of June 5 in New York. According to the statistics of the United Presbyterian Church, tho average salary of its ministers is $908. Tho highest rxerage was in 1875, when it was $1,012, In 1SS0 it was $806. since when it has been gradually rising. Last year it was $W0. The diocese of Ohio (Protestant Episcopal) has elected the Rev. William A. Leonard, I). D., of Washington, D. C, coadjutor to Bishop Bedell. Bishop Bedell, who was in France, was informed by telegraph and signified his approval He is on his way home, Under the new "Episcopal plan" of the M. E. Church Bishop Bowman goes to the Pacific coast. Bishon Andrews to China aud Japan. Bishop Walden to South America, and Bishop I owler, who is already abroad, will complete the round of European conferences. . The Anglican bishop of Rochester is decidedly strict in his requirement concerning confirmation dresses. To wear imitation pearls, white satin slippers, semibridal veils, or anything of that sort, insures the candidate's being sent home "to dress decently." The Wesleyan Female College, of Macon, Ga., celebrates every year the birthday, Mav 12, of Mr. Geo. 1. Seney, of Brooklyn, N. V., its beneficent patron. Mr. Seney has tfven to various educational, benevolent and religious objects, mostly Methodist, about three millions of dollars. Hitherto there have been rival young people's societies in the Methodist Episcopal Church, known as "The Methodist Alliance," "Tho Oxford League" and tho "Yong People's Methodist union." These have been consolidated, and hereafter will be known as "The Epworth League." Of tho thirteen Anglican dioceses in Australia live are virtually vacant. The bishops are chosen chietly from the clergy in England, and colonial bishops manifest a strong inclination to pay long visits to England. The Australian clergy are thinking about electing Australians to the oilice li c rc i f t c r A Dutch minister has compiled some statistics concerning religion in the Netherlands. The kingdom contains 4.012.0i inhabitants, of whom 1,445,425 are Catholics, Sl.r.93 are Jews. 15.7G1 without any church relationship, and 2,409.S14 are Protestant. The great majority of these are connected with the National Reformed Church. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has sent a missionary to New Guinea, the first to represent the Anglican Church, in that island. The work is under the control of the Australian Church. The Primato of Australia does not propose to interfere with the missions of tho London society or of the Roman Catholics. There is plenty of room, he says, for all. Tho Paris Missionary Society has a wonderful missionary work in South Africa. In connection with its mission among the Basutos it has one hundred aud seventy-six native -workers and six thousand church members. The Zambesi mission, of which M. Coillard is in charge, is an offspring of tho liasuto mis8ion. ine society also lias missions on the Congo, in Scnegamhia and in Kabylia. A new religion has sprang up in Tonngn, Burmah a sort of mixture of Buddhism and Christianity. The founder is a timber merchant, Koh Pai Sah. The initiatory rite is a handful of rice from the hand of Koh Pai Sah, for which Rs. SO is exacted from a man, Rs. 20 from a woman, and Rs. 15 from a child. The new disciples keep tho Christian Sabbath and abstain from strong drink. The adherents number several thousand. The London Missionary Society has news from Samca of the invasion of that troubled kingdom by a band of Mormon missionaries. Six of them have appeared, and six more are on the way from Utah, and they say they are going to carr3r on a vigorous campaign in every village in the group. They appear to have plenty of financial support. The natives receive them coldly, but they have made an impression on European traders. 'Thoughts and Suggestions. The devil has not all the chances in the world, but he knows how to use those he has.Jacob Riis. Are you not surprised to find how independent of money peace of c onscience is. and how much happiness can be condensed in the humblest homef James Hamilton. The real test of the genuineness of an inward affection as it appears in our consciousness, is the courso of action to which it leads, if it docs not lead one to act

rightly, it is not of mnch value. What men practically do is a very sure index to the character of their feelings. Independent. No man's faith on the subject of religion is a matter of indifference and irresponsibility on his part. No one can reject the gospel of Christ and treat it as a fable, and yet go to heaven when he dies. Such rejection persisted in means, according to the Savior's teaching, that the rejecter will die in his sins, and this certainly excludes him from heaven. Independent. Rev. Dr. John Hall in a recent sermon on the "Sword of the Spirit," said: "If I have had any success in the work of the ministry, it is because I have endeavored all through to hold forth v Ihe.Word of Life. I have no skill, genius or ingenuity for a new way of putting things, no art in delivery, no sensational themes, and if I had to depend upon .lowers round about the pulpit and flowers in the sermon to draw the people, I should abandon the pulpit." Through its wholo history the Christian religion has developed snprcrae affinities for best thing9. For tho noblest culture, for purest morals, for magnificent literatures, for finished civilization, for most energetic national temperaments, for most enterprising races, for tho most virile and progressive stock of mind.it has manifested irresistible sympathies. It goes wherever it can find these superlative growths of human nature. Where it cannot find them it creates them" Judging its future by its past, no other system of human thought has so splendid a destiny. It is the only system which possesses undying youth. Prof. Austin Phelps, D. D., in the Congregationalism , .

In Roostoen, Holland, , there is a giant rose tree belonging to Mme. Regnen, which a few years ago held 6,000 roses at the same time. A magnificent specimen of the white swan, 6iiot not long since in Alaska, had wings nine feet eight inches long when extended. Horses are believed to suffer severely from ulcerated teeth, and horse dentistry is now recognized as an important branch of veterinari practice. Tin and glaes have found a rival in paper as a material for making kerosene oil cans. The latter, it is claimed, will not rust and leak like tin or crack like glass. An Albany, Ga., man saw two cows fighting with locked horns. He sawed these apart, when tho ungrateful animals both pitched into their benefactor and nearly killed him. One mode of selling turquoises at NijniNovgorod is peculiar. A person, on payment of a certain sum, is allowed to plungo his hand into a bag full of them and to retain all he can seize. Benjamin Hulick has to get adetective to help him to find what became of a peach and apple orchard ho set out lately near Farmiugdale, N. J. Every tree had been transported to a farm some miles away. Cincinnati's veteran "newsboy," Al Shattler, has retired from business with the comfortable surplus of $00,000, and will buy a cattle ' ranch in Colorado andsettlo down. He is thirty-nine years old, and out of health. Death from misadventure is tho verdict returned in the inquest of un English laborer who met his death - by 6ucking one of a number of pheasants' eggs laid about tho irrounds of his employer for the purpose of killing vermin. It was a Connecticut boy who surprised his teacher in reading the other day by his interpretation of tho sentence: "There is a worm; do not tread on him." He read slowly and hesitatingly: "There is awarm doughnut; tread on him!" Some people in Michigan made onions pay this year. A girl up in Dorr raised &0 bushels, which she traded for an organ. Her father raised several thousand bushels, held Them for a raise aud then was tickled when he at last received $8 for the lot. Recently Mr. John W.Thompson, ot Walton county, Georgia, let oft his fish pond, and he and his son-killed seventy-five snakes. Two of them were very large water mocassins, the rest some smaller. The layout of snakes made a terrible show. The Paris Academy of Science is reported excited over a plant called colocasia. "This plant often exhibits a trembling or vibrating motion without any apparent cause, aud as many as 100 or 120 vibrations have been observed in a single minute." Mr. Armory Brown, of Taylor county, Georgia, has a hen-egg that seems to be magnetized. It will not lie on the side or on the large end, but when it is put down it immediately turns up on the small end. It makes no difference in what position it is placed, it will turn until it stands on tho small end. Theodore Urban, an antiquarian and student of Columbia, Pa., says he has evidence that this continent was settled about C50 years after the deluge; that the different tribes that sprang up were in constant communication, sharing alike in its high civilization, and that they not only used stone but tools of metal. A. J. Johnson, of Americus, Ga., has one of the oldest 810 bills afioat. The bill is on the Mississippi Railroad Company, and bears date of Juno 3, 1SC9, and is, therefore, almost fifty years old, bearing interest at 4 per cent. If tho Mississippi Railroad Company is as well preserved as their note is, they can pay on demand. It is a singular fact that the tunnel under tho Hudson, ono of the biggest enterprises of modern times, is rarely mentioned in the newspapers. Tho tunnel is going quietly forward. There has been expended on it $1,000,000. and 2.:00,000 is m hand to proceed with. The distance is 5.C00 feet. One of the two passages is completed a third of this length, aud the other more than a tenth of it. The famous leaning tower of Pisa has been put np for sale by lottery. The municipality of Pisa,-having become greatly straitened for money on account of expensive improvements, offers the tower for sale, in order to prevent the town hall from being seized, and has adopted the method of a lottery so as to get the highest price possible. After the battle of Gettysburg a member of the Corn Exchange Regiment of Philadelphia, which was in pursuit of Lee's column, captured three miles bouth of Round Top a goose owned by an old lady, who gave it up reluctantly. A few davs ago the captor and others of the Apolliuaris Club, of Philadelphia, visited the old lady and gave her a livo goose painted red.white and blue. Otto Feyerbend, of Bay City, Mich., owns a greyhound that Otto be appreciated by his owner. Otto rode on a street car tbe other day and disembarked without heing noticed uj' the dog:, which was trotting along behind the car. Nine hours afterward, when Otto came to that street again, the dog was still following tho car. It is estimated that the dog' covered 100 miles that day. No Sentiment About Her.

Howard witnessed the balloon ascension, and a few days later E resented Mr. Howard with a nice little 03, who bears a singular birth-mark, which is nothing more nor less than a perfect representation of Prof. Le Roy's balloon. The photograph, as it might bo called, is located just-above the eyes, on the forehead, and every outline of the balloon is boldly portrayed in purple lines in the skin of tho infant; even tho patch on the air-ship can be seen, being reproduced br a natch of white ikin.

Written for the Sunday Journal. In the Valley. I sought the path aU (Treat ones go. The bard, rough path to places high. I did not guess how could I know What more of strength they had than L Ah, well! Let others reach who may Those regions cold and comfortless; Jfow hei e below I fain would stay, Content with unsought happiness. Albion Mary Fellows. Utairne. Death, come to me! 1 Take this pain and striving Out of my brain. Take this gnawing misery Out from my heart. With your pale cold fingers Lay straight these bones That are weary! Shut from my sight The azure and the green And the opaline splendor of nature, Engnariug the soul with hope And visions of a life as splendid! Benumb mv ears that they hear not Tho wall of the thousands Who labor with bleeding hands Yet way not reap. Stop the ebb and the flow of life That brine force only for defeat. And quickens the heart only That it may its augulsh. At least bring silence and peace. Oh tender and beautiful Death! Harper' Magazine for June. An Old Song. I cannot sing tho old songs I sung long years ago. For heart and voice would fall me. And foolish tears would tlow; For bygone hours come o'er njy heart With each familiar strain, I cannot sing the old songs. Or dream those dreams again. I cannot sing tho old songs. Their charm Is sad and deep; Their melodies would waken Old sorrows from their sleep; And tho all unforgotten still. And sadly sweet they be, I ennuot sing tho old songs, They are too doar to me. I cannot sing the old songs. For visions come again Of golden dreams departed, And years of weary pain; reibaps when earthly fetters shall Have set my spirit free, My voice may know the old songs For aU eternity. The Sons of the Scythe. Mowers, weary and brown and blithe. What is the word methinks ye know. Endless over-word that the scythe Slugs to the blades of the grass below! Scythes that swing in the grass and clorer, Something, still, they say as they paw; What is the word that, over and over, &ihg4 the scythe to the flowers and grass! Ilnsh. ah, hush! the scythes are saying, Hush, and heed not, aud fall asleep; Flush, they eay to the erraAses swaying. Hnsh, they ting to the clover deep: Hush 'tis the lullaby time Is singingHush, and heed not, for all things pas. Hush, ah, hnidi! and the acythes are swinging Over tbe clover, over the grass! -Andrew Lang. . Daybreak. Sometimes, when the night of woe So deep on my spirit lies That I see no gladdening glow In the whole broad sweep of skies, A thought of you will gleam Acroas my sight like a ray; And the night hns been but a dream, For, lo! it Is dawn and day.
