M * rn0Ti ' #uUS?LJL | Editors Abbeville IUxxeb; The poetry of R. H. Wilde, beginning, "My life Is like the Summer Rose," is uipvcrsally admired and frequently found in the periodicals o}' the day. 1Jis, polii ics are forgotten, his life ofTns ?o encumbers I * the shelves of booksellers, whilst this gem, recognized as true poetry, even in fault-finding England, promises to embalm his name in lit eraiyimmortality.-' ' It is not. however, so well known that a lady of Baltimore met the distinguished advocate in the Court of the with much more force ami almost equal beauty. As the stanfcas of each are nat found in connection, it is proposed to give those of Wilde separately, and in a similar way the ladyV&psmtec in reply. WILDE. My life is like the Summer Rose That open*.to the morning sky, ] But ere th<*sh5tnt?s of evening close. Is scattered on the ground to die, Vet on that rose's humble bed The swetiegt dews of niglu are shed, As if f??W#pi such.waste to soc; But none shall weep a tear for me. * ** f LADY. The dews of night may fall from Heaven, Upon tii* withered rose's bed. To mourn the virtues of the dead. Vet morning's sun the dews will dry, And tears will fade from sorrow's eye, At! eat ions pangs be lulled to sleep, And even lore forget to weep. , W1U,EMy tffe i*l|ke the Autumn leaf That trembles on tile moon's pale ray, stibT J? frail, its date is brief. Restless, and soon to pass away; Yet ere thnt life shall Jail and fade. The parent tree shall mourn ifs shade; The wind bewail the lcuiiess tree, But none shall breathe a sigh for me. LADY. The tree may mourn its fallen leaf, And Antumn winds bewail its bloom, And friends may heare a sigh ofgrief^ O'er those who sleep within the tomb, Yet soon will spring renew iho flowers, And time will bring more smiling hours, i In friendship's heart all grief will die, And even love forgot to 9igh. WILDE. , . My life is like the prints which feet Have left on Tampa's desert strand? Soon as the rising^ide shall beat, All traoe shall van 1th from the sand. Yet as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race 4 On that lea* shore, loud moans the sea; But none alfc! shall mourn for me. LADX. The sea may on the desert shore Lament eachtracc it bears away, The Jonelv. its grief may pour O'er"clterish^rYrfcndship's fast decay. Yet^ whea all track is lost and gone, ^S'he Vavee dance "bright and gaily on; Thus soon affection bonds are torn And even love forgets to mourn. 'bow many acres are unoccupied in the Great "West.

The host of young men in every large citv who apply for employment and fail to get it for the reason that they can not truthfully affirm that they are educated or specially fitted for any particular business, constitutes a potent argument in favor of reform.
