In (light resplendent through the
summer sky,
V'nllo sflonce In desire would fain
upply
The craftsman's cunning handlwo.li
to trace
flio lines evasive of that baffling fare
Awd so Imagination would descry
On that far realm of kindred 01
ally
To share the bounty of a sentient
race.
TIb but a dream, a lesion of thi
brain,
Horn of the soul's desire to ileiv
the tell
That screens from mortal ken Im
mortal train
Mine Edith, thus to strive won
but to fall
The spheres can yield to one n
dearer prize
Who reads his cosmos In thy lovclh
eyes.

The Modern Mummy.
And thou hast walked about! Hon
In other streets, a many years agol
And had no doubt, the full of man
hood's glory,
Though now mine eyes, perforce
behold thee so!
Methlnks, then, thou art from sonit
town benighted.
Where goggled eye and eurlouslj
swathed head
llespoke a populace or race affrighted
To rightly robe or to enbulm their
dead.
Thy masked face and hands so woll
protected
Recall nn age pans hygenlc pride
What? I have erred? Thou hast nol
been Injected!
Tiiou'rt much alive Just on an
auto ride!

Always ltuny.
All the votes are counted;
All the work Is done;
The crisis Is surmounted
And another race Is run!
But the candidates are steady.
An' they'll want to run again;
So now we're gettln' ready
Fur the next
With courage undiminished
We're bound to persevere;
To-day Is scarcely finished
Before to-morrow's here.
We're bound to save the nation.
So we work with might an' main,
A-niakln' preparation
Fur the next

Kxaltatlmi of Mnry Ann.
When our friendship first began
Her name was simply Mary Ann.
In childish flights we used to sour
I'eyond each homely farmhouse door
But that, you know, was long before
Hor dad grew rich.
When our courtship first began
Shu was still plain Mary Anr.
Then our youthful fancies flew
Far from all our childhood knew
This before her daddy grew
Still richer.
When our silence first began
She became Miss Marie Anne.
Now no more our visions blend
All my hopes are at an end
I am a forgotten friend
I'a's nuido his pile.

Inlluence.
A pebblo In the Hood was cast,
And ripples sought the shore,
Thut fainter grew, until at last
Tvras smooth, as Just before.
A flower grew beside the brink,
Whose waters had declined,
Aud sa-ily, vainly, sought to drink,
Then trooped Its head, resigned.
lint when the ripples came, one rose
And reached It where It grew,
And straight, forgetting all Its woes,
It raised Its head anew.
Aud later, when tho rains had laved
Aud gien the herbage drink,
Then all declared tha rains hal saved
Tho flower by tho brink.
Hide That Is a Hide.
Co to with your fuss wagon puffing,
And eke with your flying machine;
No sport is the former but bluffing,
The latter' no dream that's -r-ene.
For me the high daddy of travel
ThU eerie perch lofty and gay;
TIb the boss beyond question or
cavil;
A ride on a load of new hay.
