A tangled garden, bleak and dry.
And silent 'ncath a dark'nlng sky,
Is all that barren Ago retains
Of costly Youth's superb domains.
Mute In Its bosoms, cold and lone,
A dial watches, on a stone;
Tho vines aro scro, tho haggard boughs
In dusky torpor dream and elrowbe;
The paths ute deep with jellow loaves,
In which tho wind of evening grieves;
And up and down, and to nnd fio,
Ono pale gray shadow wanders slow.
II.
When now the fading sunset gleams
Across a gllm'rlng waste of dreams;
When now tho shadows eastward fall,
And twilight hfais tho curlew's call;
When blighted now tho Illy shows,
And no" more bloom Is on the rose;
What phantom of tho dying day
Shall gild the wanderei'g sombro way
What now Illusion of delight
What magic, ushering In the night?
For, deep beneath the proudest will,
The heart must havo its solace still,
III.
Ah, many a hopo too sweet to last
Is In that garden of the Past,
And many a llower that onco wns fair
Lles cold and dead and wlther'd there;
Youth's promise, trusted Friendship's
bllbs,
Fame's laurel, Love's enrnptuicd kiss.
Beauty and strength tlio spirit's wings
And tho glad sense of natural things,
And times that smile, and times that
weep
All shrouded! In tho cells of glocp;
While o'er them careless zephyrs pass,
And sunbeams, In tho rustling grass,
IV.
So ends It all; hut never vet
Could the true heart of love forget,
And grander sway was never known
Than his who iclgns on Memory's thror.o!
Though grim tho tin cut nnd dark tho
Iron
With which the pall of night comes down,
Though all the scene bo aievir and wild.
Ltfo onco was precious once It smiled
And In his dream he lives again
With ev'ry Joy that crowned It then,
And no remorse of tlmo can dim
The splendor of the Past for hlml
V.
Tho sea that round his childhood played
Still makes tho muslo onco It made
And still In Fancy's chambers sing
Tho breezes of eternal Spring;
While, thronging jouth's resplendent
track,
Tho princes and tho queens come back,
And overjwhero the dreary mould
Bieaks Into Nature's green and gold!
It Is not nlght-or, If It be,
So let the night de-scend for me,
When Mem'ry's radiant dream shall cease,
And slowly languish Into peace,
-William Winter.

Monday evening at the Frothlngham,
tho Fannlo Mendelssohn ladles' choir, as
sisted by the renowned harpist, Maude
Moigan, and the fascinating prima donna,
Mile Alice Veilet, will appear In grand
concert. Miss Morgan Is tho lejdlng lady
harpist of tho world, and Is well known to
our people, having appeared hero on prev
ious occasions. ho la a charming player
end an artist of the llrst order. By tho
way, Maudo Morgan Is flic daughter of
that noted Welhman, tho late Geoigan
Morgan, organist of the Biooklyn Taber
nacle In the palmy days of Dr. Talmage,
when It wns a matter of much conjecture
n to which was tho greater attraction,
the eloquent divine or the Incomparable
organist. Mlbs Verlct Is ono of tho most
charming singers. The timbro of her
voice lo said to bo full of charm, warm,
nnd even captavatlng, and her enuncia
tion Irreproachable. With such unusual
attractions wo predict a crowded house.

Tuesday, at tho Frothlngham, the Rob
ert Morris lodgo will hold their annual eis
teddfod, 'lire competitions in the princi
pal selections will bo of a higher standard
anJ much moro exacting than on tormcr
o.c.rslons. Better material constitute tho
various choirs and more tlmo and cure
havo been given to tnlnlng. The famous
quartette In tho principal selection,
' Teyrnasced y Demcar," will bo ono of the
Ilnest efforts of the contest, which will be
participated In by some of the oest com
P"tllors of tho eisteddfod. Llevv Herbclt,
John Jone, Philip Warren, bassos; Edwin
Bow en, John Johns, David Stephens, ten
ors; Mr Brundnge, Mrs. Lewis and Mrs.
Beck, Mrs. Boston-Williams, nnd Miss
Maggie Jones, who nro noted for melodi
ous voices and artistic singing, will parti
cipate. Mrs. Brundugo and Mrs Lewis
and iMIss Irene Kahren will contest for
honors on the soprano solo. From an ar
tistic standpoint, the Robert Morris lodge
eisteddfod will surpass all former efforts.
Thursday night at the Frothlngham ti,o
Symphony concert will bo tho attraction.
The lino concerts that havo already been
given by the society Is assurance enough
that this one- will bo of tho same .high
standard. But they have recuted the ser
vices of an artist whoso equal has larely
been heard on the lyric stage. Mr. Frang
con Davles Is a familiar llgure on tho
London and continental stage and stands
easily foremost among tho baritones of
the present time. What was once the right
of tho Incomparable Santley Is now tho
undisputed right of Mr. Davles The Sym
phony company nro to bo congratulated
on their success In securing the services
of this great singer. The Frothlngham will
hardly bo lirge enough for the occasion.

In those households where only an In

nothing compares with It.
Aa physicians aro all the time say
ing: The pain over the kidneys, head

It brings fresh strength and vigor to

which ate the tcsult of weakened
nerves, such aa dyspepsia, headache3,
neuralgia and hewrt dlsea.se, Paine's
celery compound Is tho only logical,
permanent cure. It feeds tho wasted
