{ know there are brook gladdened meadows

And mountians of wearisome height ;

And stretches away to the night.
And sti! I rejoice when the travelers rejoice.
And weep with the strangers thal moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like & man who dwells alone.
Let use live in my house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by~—
They are good, they are bad, they are weak,

Wise, foo ish—so am I.
Then why should I sit in the seorner's seal,
Or hurl the eynic’s ban 7
Let me Jive in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man,

That the Dread Visitor Has
Nearly every one speaks of a flag,
the top of the pole, as at “hall-mast.”
This is not the correct expression.
Buch flags are ai “haifstafl™ because
on land or sea from thé flag staff,
To see a flag at balfetall means
death. It may mean, on an incoming
crew died at sea. Many a little fish
ing vessel comes into Gloweester and
TT wher! in “Boston every season with
g flag st half-staff, and this means
one of the fishermen, Or more, has met
death, generally being swept over
board.
This custom of fying fags at half
staf! originated first as & token of de
fost. That is, when an army wes de
foated, its flag was lowered down the
staff to give room for the victorious
army to piace its flag above thet of
the defeated army.
Prom this the custom grew into fiy-
ing the flag st halfetaff when an of-
ficer, army or navy, ded. Later it was
adopted by civilians as well, and to
day, when 4 man of prominence dies,
the flags are hur
half-stafl Whereas, in the olds
days, when the custom started, the 1
was laft to indicate tk
victor could put his flag there,
geems that death is the victor, and so
the espace is left. It is, of course, &
mark of respect to the dead person wo
have fags at halfetaff for him.
