Oue of the pleasing features of the "World's Fair dedicatory ceremonies to-day was the reading find singins of the Commemora tion Ode, written by Miss Harriet Monroe. Miss Monroe is a Chicago girl pnre and simple, and she is inclined to boast of the fact. Her early education was secured in tbe Moseley School. Then she went for three years to the Dearborn Ladies' Seminary, which at that time, under the direction of Zenas Grover, was one of the leading educational institutions of its kind in the West The finishing touches to her career as a scholar were gnen at the George town (D. C) Convent, where she remained two years. Here she studied the art of versification. In a desultory manner Miss Monroe toiled in her .literary workshop until she was 23 or 26 years of age. It may be remarked in passing that the lady is one of the fair sex that has the courage to openly avow her age. She Mas born on December 23, 1SG0, and therefore two days before the coming Christmas she will be 32 years old. Her first really ambitious effort and the one that has gicn her - place among the SS IIARKIET MOXKOH. rs of poetry ' this country mil entitled "Valeria and day been a toiler in the urnalism; indeed she has : newspaper work. Her ier writing was dramatic -s.

Bow to her banner! 'twas the first to riso Ont of the dark for thee. And England, royal mother, whoso light hand Molds nations, whose white foot the ocean tread, Lays down her sword on thy beloved strand To bless thy wreathed head: Hearinc in thine Lor voice, bidding thy soul Fulfill her dieam, the foremost at the goat And France, w ho once thy fainting form up bore. Brings benuty now where strength she brought of yore. France, the swift-footed, who with thee Gazed in the eyes of Liberty, And loved the dark no more. Around the peopled world Bright the banners are unfurled. The long procession winds from shore to shore. The Norseman sails Through icy pales To the green Vinelanu of his long aio. ltussla rides down fiom realms ol sun and snow. Germany casts afar Her Iron robes ol war. And strikes her harp with thy triumphal sour. Italy opens wide her epic scroll. In bright hues blazoned, with great deeds writ lonjr. And bids thee win the kingdom of the soul. And the calm Orient, w ise with many days, From hoary Palestine to sweet Japan Salutes thy couqaering youth: Bidding thee hush while all the nations praise. Enow, though the world endure but for a span. Deathless is truth. Bo! unto thu-e the ever-living Fast Ushers a mighty pageant, bids arise Dead centuries, freighted with visions vast, Blowing dim mists into the Futuie's eyes. Their son? is all of time, Daughter of mystery. Alone! Alone! Behind wide walls of sea! And never a ship lias Hon n A prisoned world to Iree. Fair Is tbe sunny day On mountain and lake and stream, Tet wild men starve and t-l&r. And the young earth lies adream. Long have the dumb years passed with va cant eyes, Bearing rich gifts fornatlonsthronedafar, Guarding thy soul inviolate as a star, Leaving thee safe with God till man grow wise. At last one patient heart is born Fearless of ignorance and scorn. His strong youth wasteth at thy sealed gate Kings will not open to the untrod path. His hope grows sere while all the angels wait, The prophet bows under the dull world's wrath, Until a woman fair As morning lilies are Brings hlni a Jeweled key And To! a world is free. "Wide swings the portal never touched be fore. Strange luring winds blow from an unseen shore. Toward dreams that cannot fall He bids the three ships sail. While man's new song of hope rings out against the gale. Over the -wide unknown. Far to the shores of Ind, On,through the dark alone. Like a feather blown by the wind; Into the west away. Sped by the breath of God, Seeking the clearer day Where only His feet have trod: From the past to the luture we sail; We slip from the leash ofkings. Hall, spirit of freedom-hail! Unfurl thine Impalpable wines! Becelve us, protect us, and bless Tny knijrhts who brave all for thee. Though death be thy soft caress. By that touch shall our souls bo free. Onward and over on, Till the voice of despair Is stilled. Till the haven or peace Is won. And the purpose of God fulfilled! O strange, divine surpriso! Out of the dark man strives to rise. And struggles Inch by Incn with, toil and tears; . . , Till, lo! God stoops from his supernal spheres, And;bares the glory of his face. Then darkness flee- - This earth become: Man leaps up to tbe 1 Vfe ask a little all is g We Seet a lamp God a tu Bo these who dared to pi pale For an Idea tempting: t .' .as, Sought bat Cathay. , G .'. faith prevail - To find a world blessed his purposes! The hero knew not what n virgin soul Laughed through glaloyes hen at her leot ho laid Tho caudy trappings of man's masquer ade. She who had dwelt In forests, heard tho roll Of lakes dowu-thunderinir to tbe sea. Beheld from gleaming mountain heights Two oceans playing with tho Ibrhti Of eve and morn ah! what would she With all the out-wprn paseantry Of purple robe s and heavy mace and crownt Smiling she casts them down, Unfit her young austerity Ol hair unbound and strong limbs bare and brown. Vet thev who daro arlso And meet Iter stainless eyes Forget old loves, though crowned aueons these be, And whither her winged feet fare They follow though death be there So sweet, so floet, so goddess-nure Is she. Uer voice is like deep rivers, that do flow Through forests bending low. Her step is softest moonlight, that doth force The ocean to its course. Gentle her smile, lor somothtng in man's face, Woild-wom, time-weary, furrowed deep w nil tears, Thrills her chaste heart with a moro tender grace. Softly she smoothes the wrinkles from his brow. Wrought by the baleful years. Smiles sunshine on the hoar head, whispers low Xew charges from the awakened will of truth Words all of Are, that thrill his soul with youth. Not with his brother Is man's battlo here. The challenge of the earth, that Adam heal d. His love austere breathes in his easrer ear. And lol the knight who warred at love's command. And scarred the facoof Europe, sheaths Ills sword. Hearing from untaught lips a nobler word. Taking new weapons from an unstained hand, With axe and osr, with mallet and with spade, She bids tho hero conquer, unafraid Though cloud-veiled Titans be his lordly foes Spirits of earth and air, whoso wars Drook no repose For from far-away mountain and plain, From the shores of the sunset sea, Tho unwearying rulers complain, complain, And throng lrom tho wastes to defend their icign, Their threatened majesty. The low prairies that He abloom Sigh out to the summer ain Shall our dark soil be the tomb Of the flowers that rise so fair? Shall we yield to man's disdain. And nourish his golden grain? We will lreezeand burn and snare. Ah! bidliim beware! beware! And the forests, heavy and dark and deep With the shadows of shrouded vear, In a murmurous voice, out orage-long sleep, jn. .. . auuo. ii imb cre-amres ruue ould storm onr solitude? Hath his soul no fears, no tears! The prono rivers lift up their snow-crowned heads. Arise In w rath from their rock-hewn beds, And roan Wo w ill ravage'and drowu Ei e w e float his white ships down. And the lakes from a mist Of ametbvsc Call the storm-clouds down, and grow ashen and brown. And all the four winds wall: Our gales shall make him quail. By blinding snow, bv burning ban His strength 6hall be undone. Then men in league with these Bi others of wind and waste Hew barbs of flint, and darklv haste From sheltering tents and trees; Andmntter: Away! Away! Ye children of white-browed day!

When dreaming kings, atodds with swift paced time, Would strike that banner down, A riobler knight than ever wvit or"rhyme With lame's bright wreath did crown Through armed hosts bore it till 1 floated high Beyond the clouds, a light that-cannot diet Ah, hero of our vounger race! Great builder of a temple now! Ruler, who sought no lordly place! Warrior, who sheathed the sword he drew! Lover of men, who saw afar, A world unmarred by want of war. Who knew the nath and vet forbore To tread, till all men should Implore; Who saw the light and led the way Where the gray world might greet the day; Father and leader, prophet sure, Whose will In vast works shall endure, ' How shall we praise him on this day of days. Great son ot fame who lias no need or praise? How shall we praise him? Open wide the doors Of tbe lair temple whose broad baso he laid. Through its white halls' a shadowy caval cado Of heroes moves o'er anresotinding floors lien whose brawned arms upraised these columns high, And reared tho towers that -vanish In the skv The strong who, having wrought, can.never die. And lo! loading a blessed host comes-one Who held a warring nation In his heart; Who knew love's agony, but had no part In love's delight; whose mighty task was done Through blood and tears that wo might walk in joy, And this day's rapture own ruo sad alloy. Around him heirs of bliss, whose bright brows wear Palm-leaves amid their laurels ever fnir. Gaily they come, as though the drum Beat ont the call their glad hearts knew so well. Brothers once moro, dear as ofyoro. Who in a noble conflict nobly feQ. Their blood washed pure yon banner In tho sky, And quenched the brands laid.'iteatn these arches high; The brave who, having i fought, .can never die. Then surging through the vastnesssiso once more Tbeaureolod heirs of light, whotonward boro Through darksome times and trackless realms of ruth The flag or beauty and the torch af truth. They tore the mask lrom the foul face of wrong; Even to God's mysteries they dared aspire; High in the choir they lit yon altar-flie, And filled these aisles with color and with song: The ever-young, the nnfallen, wreathing for time Fresh garlands of the seeming-vanished vears: Faces long, luminous, remote, sublime. And shining brows still dewy with' our tears. Back with the old glad smile comes ono-we knew We bade him rear our hquse of Joy to-day. But Beauty opened wide her starry way. And he passed on. Bright champions of the true. Soldiers of peace, seers, singers ever blest From tho wide ether of a loftier quest Their winged souls thiong our rites to glorify Tho wise who, having known, can never die. Strange splendors stream tho vaulted aisles along To these we loved celestial rapture clings. And music, borne on rhythm of Using wings. Floats from tne living dead, w hose breath Is song. Columbia, my country dost thou hoar? Ah! dost thou hear the songs unheard of time? nark! for their passion trembles at thine ear. Hush! for thy soul must heed their call sublime. Across wide seas, unswept by earthly sails. Those strange sounds draw thee on, for thouslialtbe Leader of nations through tho autumnal gales That wait to mock the strong and wreck tho free. Dearer, more radiant than of yore, Against the daik I see thee rise; Thy young smile spurns the guarded shore And braves the shadowed ominous skies. And still that conquering smile who see Fledge love, life, service, all to thee. The years have brought thee robes most fair . The rich pi occasional years And filleted thy shining hair, And zoned thy waist with jewels rare, And whispered in thine ears Strange secrets of God's wondrous ways, Long hid from human awe and praise. f :52e"rsfe: r y VJJ C09 at ITDMUNDSON 4)0 Q EL & PERRINE'S $n Cash and 1.25 Per Week. 4)4 t & PERRINE'S.

So more he makes his house of clouds and "loom. Lightly tne shuttles move within his loom; Unveiled his thunder leaps to meet tho storm. Front God's right hand man takes the powers that sway A universe of stars. Ho bows them down; he bids them go or stay: He tames them for nis wars, no scans the burning paces of the sun, And names the Invisible orbs whose courses run Through the dim deeps of space. He sees in dew upon a rose impearled The swarming legions or a monad world Begin life's upward race. Voices or hope he hears Longlumb to his despair, And dreams of golden years lieot for a world so fair. f For now Demooracy doth wake and rise From the sweet sloth of youth. By storms made strong, by many dreams made wise, He clasDS the hand of truth. Through the armed nations Ilea his path of peace. The oDen book of knowledgedn his hand. Food to the starving, to the oppressed re lease, And love to all he bears from land to land. Before his march the barriers tall, The law grows gentle at his call. His glowing breath blows far away The fogs that veil the coming day, That wondrous day When earth shall sing as througtvtbe blue she rolls Laden witn Joy for all her thronging sonls. Then shall want's call to sin resound no moro Across her teeming fielifc. And pain shall sleep, Soothed by brave science with her magic lore, And war no more shall bid the nations weep. , Then the worn chains shall slip from man's, desire, And even higher and higher His swift foot shall aspire; Still deeper and more deep His soul its watch shall keep, . Till love shall make the world a holy place. WheTe knowledge dares unveil God's very face. Not yet the angels hear life's last swieot song. Music unutterably pure and strong From earth shall rise to haunt tho peopled skies When the long march of time. Patient in birth and death, in growth and Dug nt, Shall load man up thiough happyrrealms of light Unto his goal sublime. .. Columbia! Men beheld thee rise A goddess from the misty sea. Lady of joy, sent from the skies, The nations worshiped thee. Thy brows were flushed with dawn's I first light; By foamy waves with stars bedlght Thy blue robe floated free. .Now lot the sun ride high o'erhead, Driving the day lrom shore to shore. His burning tre.td we do not dread, For thou art evermore Lady of love whose smile shall bless, Wnom brave deeds win to tenderness. Whose tears the lost restore. Lady ot hope thou art. We wait With courage thy serene command. Through unknown seas, toward undreamed fate We ask thy guiding hand. On! though sails quiver in the galo! Thou at the helm, we can not fail. On to God's time-veiled strand. Lady of beauty! thou Shalt win Glory and power and length of days. The sun and moon shall be thy kin, The stars shall sing our praise.
