Whose hearts are linked by Beauty's hand; Oh, peace and, love to the angel goddess, Where ro.es bloom in the fairy land. The god of Love in the land of roses, In smiles of love saw the god dess, too; 4 From the lips oh, then, of the angel goddess, The beautiful rose received its hue. Oh, may the god of Love and Beauty And that of the rosebud never part; it3 shapes are all so sweet and lovely, Its shaped so near like the god dess Heart. Its folds are filled with :ove and bdauty, So is the life of the golde33, too; J8Q from the lips of the angel goddess The beautiful rose received its hue. Here's to the god of Love and Beauty, . Here's to the angel goddess, too; Who breathed the roses full of sweetness, And kissed them full of love for you. .Sweet is the story of the roses We know the words we've used are so; T' e key that will unlock this story, This wide old worhl shall never know. Now, if their hearts were linked as lovers, With Love's sweet links of precious gold; You need not wonder of the sweetness In the rose leoend that we have told. With angel goddess sweetly sleeping, We know this story she will keep); When the god and goddess meet in glory, Tfhis rose leg mnd they still will keep. H. J. BROWN. Plainville, Ga., April 29. In the Cool of the Evening. In the cool of the evening, when the low, sweet whis pers waken, When the laborers turn them homeward, and the weary have their will, When the censers of the roses o'er the forest-aisles are shaken, Is it but the wind that cometh o'er the far green hill? F'or they say 'tis but the sunset winds that wander thro' the heather, Rustle all the meadow-grass and bend the dewy fern; They say 'tis but the winds that bow the *reeds in prayer together, And fill the shaken pools wvith fire fliong the sadoiwy burn. In the beauty of the twilight, in the Garden that He loveth, They have sveiled His lovely vesture with the darkness of a name! Ti.hrough His Garden, through His Garden it is but the wind th t m weth. No iMore; but 0, the miracle, the miracle is the same. In the cool of the evening, when the sky is an old story Sldwly dying, but remember - ed, -ay, and loved with passion still. Hush! . . . the fringes of His garment,, in the fading golden glory, Softly rustling as He conieth o'er the far green hill. --LAlfred Noyes. "War is Hell." "War is hell." Ah, well! We pray, "Our Father, Thy kingdom come." Then build our ships And forge our guns To kill Thy sons, Our brothers. Then pray that Thou wilt well Direct our shot and shell, And give us help In making hell. "War is hell." Ah, well! I"Peace on earth" The angels sang. Ah, Christ, we worshil) Thee 'Mid clang of arni And battle's roar, Where hate and wrath Shed human gore, And think we serve Thee w'ell With cruel shot an'l deadly shell, In making hell. "War is hell." Ah, well! "God is love" we say To Hin we pray To win the day, To help us slay That we may well Perform our part In making hell. "War is hell." Ah, well! "Thy will be done on earth;" Not yet. Useless the prayers we raise, God will not change our ways. Man car ses all man's woe, Man is man's friend or foe; His to say, war or no, His to stop shot and shell, His to quit making hell. -[David B. Page. Optimistic to the End. Some time ago there was a flood in western Pennsylvania. An old fellow who had lost nearly everything he possessed was sitting on the roof of the house as it floated along, when a boat aphroached. "Hello, John." "Hello, Dave." "Are your fowls all washed away, John?" "Yes; but the ducks can swim," replied the old man. "Apple trees gone?" "Well they said the crop w~ould be0 a failure, anyhow." "I notice .the flood's away abos e your window." "That's all right, Dave. Thenm winders needed washin', anyhow. "-Phila. Ledger. "VETERAN SPECIAL." Special Train, Columbia. S.

It is unfortunate for Gov. Johnson that he should even seem to be the choice of the men who stood immeCiately be hind Judge Parker four years ago that he should appear at Denver under the patronage of a group of unififiuential though pretentious newspapers, 'which, as a rule, voice the plans and schemes of these, and thaiit money to finance his candidacy should appear anywhere Upon the scene as it has appeared. These men plainly tell us that if we nominate Bryan they won't give us a cent. They ai:e supported by a local press, stand ing for little else than .corporate wealth, knoving nothing of the country at largre, not caring for) anything outside the confines of a dollar-grabbing, sky-scraping provincialism-of big houses and little mien -vhose business has grown as corrupt as its society, and whose politics is more cor rupt than either. They insult decent people alike by their effrontery an( their money. They furnish us so many addi tional reasons for declaring that upon a straight issue between the republic and the plutocrocy, we shall stand for the republic.I In short, and, in fine, gentle men of the East, if you are re solved to have it so, we have come to a parting of the ways. But, if you will take the coun sels of an 01(d friend, you wvill stop a little and think a lick or two. You cannot beat Bryan at Denver. If you could, you would have on your hands a re production of 1904. And then? Why, this, that, instead of Bryan you would have Hearst to reckon with; Rienzi of the sections and of the yellow press, with a bag of gold, maybe as big as your owvn. Better take Bryan wvhile you may. If you be Democrats, good and true, swvallowi ng your doubts as we have swallowed ours, you wvill -[ Gouisville) Courier-Journal. Thes Baceker---Go It. Billy!

Henrico d'Alnionte Nas from 1863 to 1866 the ambassador of Emperor Maximilian of Mex ico to the court of Napolean III. The most 'interesting and - most pathetic episode to whiqh d'A monte was a witnessand which is vividly described in his ne moirs is the meeting between the scheming French emperor and Maximilian's wife, the beau tiful and ambitious Carlotta, who shortly before the catastro plie at Queretaro had come to Paris to invoke Napoleon's aid for the tottering throne of her husband. . But Napoleon III., who for his own perfidious, pur poses had by promises and allure ments induced Maximilian, then archduke of Austria, to accept the "restored" throne of Monte zuma, faithlessly abandoned the unfortunate prince to his cruel fate as soon as he realized his schemes to be impracticable. Even at her arrival in Paris, Carlotta's mind was already in such a high state of irritation that it was deemed advisable to have Gen. d'Almonte at her side during the meeting with Napoleon, which took place in the enipress' -apartments at the Grand Hotel do Paris. What lends special interest to that interviewv is the fact that the empress, crazed by despera tion and fear for her husband's safety and by Napoleon's un sympathetic attitude, hurled a curse at the latter which in time was indeed fulfilled to the very letter. "The empress." says Gen. ('Aliioite, "pleaded, partly on her knees and in the most be seeching terms, with the stony Frenchnaii to no avail. Then it was that I witnessed the most harrowing and dramatic scene of my life. Frantic with grief and excitement, the empress, wiih drain mouth and flashing eyes, spraig to her feet, extend ing )both her hafnds toward the retreating emperor. "'Leave me,' she yelled in a voice that cut through me like a sword-'leave me, but go laden with Imly curse-the same curse that God hurled at the first mur, derer. May your own house and throne perish amid flames and blood, and when you are hum bled in the dust, powerless and disgraced, then shall the angel of revenge trumpet into your ears the names of Maximilian andl Carlottat'" At Sedan and by the revolu tion in Paris, Sept. 4, 1870, the unhappy Carlotta's curse was fulfilled to the letter.-[Capt. Charles Kiener. The Poorest Scholar Imaginable. The other day a professor leaving the tuiversity was approached by a seedy indlividual, who pathetically asked: "Won't you help a poor scholar with ai dime?" The coin bestowed, the learned man said: "You tell me you are a poor scholat?' "sure," answered the other. "I nev er wvent to school in me life. So long." --Philadelphia Ledger.
