La Mort D’Amour.
When was it that love died? We were so fond,
So very fond a little while ago.
With leaping pulses and blood all aglow,
Wé dreamed about a fairer life beyond.
When we should dwell together as one heart,
And scarce could wait that happy time to come.
Now side by side we sit, with lips quite dumb,
And feel ourselves a thousand miles apart.
How was it that love died? I do not know,
I only know that all its grace untold
Has faded into gray! I miss the gold
From our dull skies, but did not see it go.
Why should love die? We prized it, I am sure;
We thought of nothing else when it was ours;
We cherished it in smiling sunlit bowers;
It was our all; why could it not endure?
Alas! we know not how, or when, or why
This dear thing died. We only know it went,
And left us dull, cold and indifferent—
We who found heaven once in each other’s sigh.
How pitiful it is, and yet how true.
That half the lovers in the wprld one day
Look questioning in each other’s eyes this way,
And know love‘s gone forever, as we do!
Sometimes I cannot help but think, dear heart,
AsI look out p‘er all the wide, sad earth
And see'love‘s flame gone out on many a hearth,
Th at those who would keep love must dwell‘hpart.
. -—Ella Wheeler.
One Day’s Command.
The plumed stafl' officer gallops
Along the swaying line,
That shakes as, beaten by hailstones,
Shakes the loaded autumn vine;
And the earth beneath is reddened,
But not with the stain of wine
The regular shock of a battery
The rattling tumult stuns,
And its steady thrill through the hillside
Like a pulse beneath it runs;
The manyrare dead around it,
But‘the’few still work the guns.
“Who commands this battery?”
And Crosby, his clear, young eyes
, From the sliding gun sights lifting
Asnhe well aimed death bolt flies,
“I command it today. sir!“
, With a steady voice replies.
Answer as heroes answer,
\Vith modest words and few,
Whose hearts and hands to duty
Even in death are true,
Though its awful light is breaking
Full on the blenchless view.
The ofilcer passes onward
With a less troubled eye,
The words and the look unshaken
Bids every wild doubt fly;
He knows that young commander
Is there to do or die.
To do AND die; for the battle
And day of command are done,
While stands unmoved on the hillside
Each shattered, blackened gun,
And Crosby in death beside them _
A deathless name has won.
Thy Touch Upon the Palm.
Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforth in thy shadow. Nevermore
Alone upbn the threshold of my door
Of individual life I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Without the sense of that which I forbore—
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy. heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of its ownlgrapcs. And when I sue
God for myself, he hears that name of thine,
And sees within my eyes the tears of two.
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
“ii tli Clearer Vision.
I saw tonight the man I loved
Three little years ago;
I did not think so short a time
Could change a mortal so!
There were none like him in those days-—
So strong, so true, so wise;
He had a lofty marble brow.
And tender, soulful eyes.
A voice of music; hair by which
The raven‘s wing would seem
But pale indeed; .a face and form
To haunt a-sculptor’s dream.
But when I looked at him to-night
I saw no single trace
0f the old glo - only just
A very com n face.
No marble brow, no soul-lit orbs;
The face was round and sleek,
That once to my love haunted eyes
Was so intensely Greek.
1 know» full well he has not changed
So very much. Ah, me!
But I was blind in those dear dayS.
And now. alas! I see.
‘Tis very dreadful to be blind,
Of course, and yet to-night
I should be happier far if I
Had not received my sight.
One little thought will bother me-
I only wish I knew
Whether he still is blind, or if
His eyes are open toe.
—Cariotta Perry.
A Sigh.
It was nothing but a rose I gave her,
Nothing but a rose, .
Any wind might rob of half its savor.
Any wind that flows.
When she took it from my trembling fingers
With a hand as chill— '
Ah! the flying touch upon 'them lingerS.
Stays, and thrills them still!
Withered, faded, pressed between the pages.
Crumpled fold on fold—-
Once. it lay upon her breast, and ages
Cannot make it old!
Old Friends.
The old, old friends!
Some changed, some buried, some gone out of
sight; '
Some enemies, and in this world‘s swift fight
No time to make amends.
The old, old friends—
Where are they? Threeare lying in one grave,
And one from the far of! world on the daily wave
No'loving message sends:
The old dear friends!
One daily, and one wears a mask;
Another 10 estranged cares not to ask
Where ea seless anger ends.
The dmr old friends!
So many and so fond in days of youth!
Alas that faith can be divorced from truth.
When love in severance ends.
The old, old friends!
They hover round me still in evening shades;
Surely they shall return when sunlight fades
And life on God depends.
—W. J. Linton.

LOOTING GREAT ROOKERIES.
Tons of Eggs on the Famllon Islands
Are Stolen by Poachers.
Next to the Behring sea seal slaughter
there is nothing that concerns California
so closely on the Northern Pacific as the
wholesale pillaging of the nests of sea
birds on the Farallon islands. It is one of
the ironies of fate that while Great Britain
, rigidly protects even the smallest birds on
her own territory during the season, she
does not disdain to lay violent hands on
the mammals of a neighboring friendly
power, and, on the other hand, that friend-
ly power, to wit, the United States, looks
calmly on while its wild fowl are deci mated
within sight of its shores by aliens and
even by its own citizens.
For it so happens that the sea birds and
land birds which annually visit the Email-
Ion group for the purpose of reproducing
their .species have a foe to reckon with
whose grasp is as ruthless as it is fatal.
Some idea may be formed of the annual
decimation of California and North Pacific
sea birds when it is stated that 3,000,000 of
eggs were brought into San Francisco
market from the Farallones in four years,
and that in an immense majority of cases
the parent birds produced but a single egg
—none more than three. Even at the
present time the average import of sea
birds’ eggs from the Farallones is 180,030
annually. By courtesy they are called the
eggs of the “murre.” As a matter of fact
the true “murre” 0r “razor bill” is a toler-
ably exclusive inhabitant of the seaboard
of the Atlantic ocean north of Cape Henry.
The Farallon rookeries aIIord. even un-
der the cxistin g conditions of rapid depopu-
lation and barcfaced, unchecked spoilation,
a wonderful example of the prolific power
of nature on the shores of asub-tropical
land. The principal island—the South Far-
allon—on which the lighthouse is situated,
may run short of potable waterin every dry
season, but the lighthouse people would
never starve for want of animal food.
Nevertheless, the birds are gradually de-
serting the islands. The bones of numer-
ous species of Pacific coast birds, rarely or
never seen now, are common in the shelt-
ered caves of the group. The various spe-
cies of auks, the puffins, the guillemots,
the cormora-nts, are common, and the plov-
ers and petrels sti’ll breed , on the islands,
but other California birds, once quite fa-
milar visitors to the group, have sought
abodes less disturbed by the egg poucher,
the orthinologist and the pot hunter.
Of all the birds on the group - the puf-
fins are the most picturesque and en-
tertaining to the visitor and the orno-
thologist. The auk family is, how-
ever, the principal contributor to the egg
poacher’s wallet. Just as soon as the
“merry month of May” approaches there
is a stir among the small schooners and
sailing craft in San Francisco bay, and sil-
ently, “like a thief in the night,” each skip- ’
per works his way out between the heads
LO the “far Furallons.” His crew, mostly
composed of Greeks and Italians, with. a
liberal sprinkling of water front castaways,
eflfect aquict, unperccived landing on the
South Farall’on, usually on the Sugar Loaf
rock, to the northwest, because that is the
spot where the birds breed earliest.
The cliffs are quite rugged, and with a
perpendicular of nearly 130 feet, the sport is
no child’s play, and accidents‘aro not infre-
quent. Each egg hunter is furnished with
a shirt of special construction, provided
with an open front for stowing away the
egg and a bed of soft seaweed about the
waistband for the eggs to rest on. A good
hand will pick out and get away with 200
eggs a day in this manner.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
Remarkable Memories.
“Memory,” said old Fuller, the author
of the “Worthies,” who himself possessed
a. wonderful power of reminiscence, “is the
storehouse of the mind, wherein the treas-
ures thereof are kept and preserved.” It
is unquestionably true that, as a rule,
great writers have bad memories of more
than ordinary tenacity and range. The
faculty of reminiscencei’eeds the fires of
the imagination and keeps lucid and or-
derly the sequence of philosophic thought.
How much Milton, for example, profited
by his prchcnsile anzl trustworthy memo-
ry is evident. Not only sudi 73me as
“Lycidas,” but “Paradise Lost” and “Par—
adise Regained” are studded with transla-
tions or parriphruscs of exquisite extracts
from the cl-r'ssic poets.
We are told that Pascal never forgot
anything he had seen, heard or thought.
Avicenna could repent by rote the entire
Koran when he was 10 years old, and Fran-
.is Suarez had the whole of St. Augustine
in his memory. In three weeks Scaliger,
1 he famous scholar, Committed to memory
every line of the “Il‘ad” and the “Odys—
sey.” Another scholar, Justus Lipsius,
offered to repeat the “Histories” of Tacitus
without a mistake on forfeit of his life.—

Dimrnsions of the Colosseum.
The colosseum buiéti by Titus,.A. D. 80,
is in shape an ellipse. Its external circum-
ference is 576 yards, its long diameter 205
yards, its short diameter 170 yards. The
arena. is {.3 by 98 yards, and the height of
the gigantic mass is 156 feet. Four stories
remain, the. seats being in tiers, and a cal-
culation, made from careful measurements,
shows that there were sea-ts for 87,000 spec-
tators, while 63,000 more could have found
standing room, thus giving the place a
capacity of 150,000. Only about one-third
of the-original structure remains, for the
great building served Rome for ages as a
quarry, but even in its ruins it is one of the
most stupendous monuments of antiquity.
Its foundation would, in length, cover two
city 'blocks, while its width is equal to one.
and one-half, and its height. about that of
the tallest oflice building—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Illustrations in London Papers.
It is known at the G. P. O. that red en-
velopes are used by war artists to send
home their rough sketches, and on the re-
ceipt of each mail the official at once picks
out the red envelopes and hands them to
the representative of The Graphic or News.
The sketches are then carried to the mana-
ger of the paper, who sends thenf out by
fast cabs to his artists for redrawing. It
sometimes happens that the artist is at
work within an hour of the delivery of the
mails at St. Martin’s lc Grand—London

THE MERRY MUSE.
Her Tyrant Master.
With cheeks aglow from kisses of the frost,
Blue laughing eyes and shining hair, wind
tossed, _
She comes in breathless, bright, a little late,
Fair as a dream, but pitiless as Fate.
She struggles with her rubbers on the mat,
Lays by her jacket and hangs up her hat,
Pullsofi her gloves, and sweetly thoughtful
stands
Beside the register, to warm her hands.
I look up, at her soft “good morning” then
I mumblc “morning,” and lay down my pen.
And then Iher task begins, and, like a Turk,
I keep her—how remomelessly—at work!
She’s my typewriter yet. and I’m her “boss."
I hear her tell the bookkeeper I’m “cross,“
And “hard to please.” Great Scott! that isn'tit
If she could only know how hard I'm hit!
Oh, yes, I scold you, dear; I nag and yell
Only because you please me far too well;
Also, because I‘d like to knock in two

you.

Mrs. James A. Hoyt’s funeral Tues-
day, was largely attended by many
notable people from abroad, as well as
own best citizens. There was afer-
vent and comforting prayer at the
house by Rev. Dr. Noble,when Under-
taker Jennings conveyed the body to
Grace church, where the Rector con-
ducted the service, as he did at River-
side. Mrs. Dr. Newkirk and sister,
with two male voices rendered several
appropriate pieces and concluded the
service with“ ‘Nearer my God to Thee.”-

The Right Spirit.
Let us make Memorial Day what its
name implies. Let us join with the few
remaining of that Grand Army of he-
roes who marched and fought and bled
and died, in doing reverent honor to
them. And while we are remembering
the dead let us not forget the living,
whose bent forms and gray hairs de-
note so pamfully and impressively the
march of time. .
We cannot strew the graves with
flowers. That is a precious duty of the
comrades of the dead and can be trust-
ed to no hands but theirs. But we can
by our presence and sympathy show
them that we appreciate the mournful
servme and give them to know that
when remorseless death has taken the
last of them from among us, we their
descendants will still keep up the cus-
tom and see that their graves are cover-
ed w1th blossoms as they cover the
graves of those who are now dead. In
the bustle and hurry of everyday life
we are apt to forget men who carried
muskets {brough the war. We can af-
ford to gave one day in the year to them
and then‘ dead.——[Ansonia Sentinel.
A Curious Loss and Find.
Rev. Dr. Van Alstyne lost a valuable
and much prized pair of gold eye
glasses in the Grand Central depot,
New York, Monday morning. In
the afternoon he stepped into Spen-
cer’s to get another pair and mentioned
his loss. A little later, Mr. Filly of
the Saugatuck Iron Works dropped
into Spencer’s and said he had picked
up a pair of eye glasses in New York,
with the Spencer name on the case and
thought possibly this might lead to the
discovery of the owner. Filly was at
once informed of the clerical owner and
gladly left them, and now the worthy
Doctor rejoices over one of the luck-
iest losses and returns of the lost
erty. lie-ever experienced.
