SOUL OF LIFE IN LOVE, The world is as a sterile cliff; But love Is like the dew That falls upon it, and the moss Like life springs from the two, ft ereepeth o'er the barren stone Till all the place be verdant grown, The world Is as a blasted oak, But love is like the vine That trails it o'er; its sunlit leaves Like life the two entwine, The trunk is green that erst was bare And blossoms kiss it everywhere. i The world is as a clouded sea, But fove is like the sun That steals along the murky ways And brightens every O'er gloom golden And sport wae, flung. waves is glory sunbeams the among, ~Charles Eugene (1ll.)

They Aad been patriots, doubtless, but they had got on the wrong There fore they were carrion, and to be cor- dially despised of all Fulano men. But they looked unpleasant, Their glazed eyes stared at you with a dis agreeably fixity. The lips of their gaping wounds had a dumb eloquence which worked upon the feelings. The mob had gathered to despoil them; it ended by pitying them. “Ah, Dios!” sald a woman, “why not bury them, too, as well as our own of last night?” “True, true,” said the mob, “an ex tellent idea. We will bury them." Herr von Grelk uttered his word since the revolution “Aye, aye, neighbors,” sald he. “tis the Christian thing to do. Por el amor de Dios, let us bury them!

For, look you there are many things which cause sudden death, Earthquakes, sun-strokes, | highwaymen., And once in a while a patriot liberates the country. And then there is need of many coffins, Bo Herr von Grelk advocated the burying of the unpleasant corpses, The mob approved of Herr von Grelk, and called him “brother.” And Herr von Grelk winced, but said nothing, For they were good custom ers. So the mob carried out coffins, And it carried out more coffins, And when a patriot could nol be squeezed into his coffin, get a longer one, Herr von Grelk had no more coffins, Then he “My brothers,” sald he, “we done a Christian spoke, have “Trae,” assented the mob. “We have decently interred our en- emy.
