COME TO THE WILDWOOD- Cone to the wlldwood, onme awty, Lease work and ears behind ; Came, for the skies are bright ta day ; Come, for a breath of b*'mT May Floats on the low sweat wind. Come, for the purple stolot blows Upon the mossy aod , Cone, for the silror streamlet flows, The coral honeys ckle glows. The daisies sweetly nod. Como, for iris, blue and g old, gklaes like a fisicn fair ; The heartsease blooms from ont the mould Her purple velret buds unfold. Unfoldto beauty aara Come, for the Jeamine, sweetest flower. Of all this Southern land. The Queen of Spring’s enchanted hour, la festoon, wreath, and iragrant bower, Grows wild on overy hand. Cijpa, for the bird* ore on the hough, tksir songs the springtime greet ; Now high ond shrill the notes, end now The lunoful strain is soft end low, And, oh, ■ is passing sweet! Then to the wildwood come oway, From ear# and trouble fly ; Como while the bird ie on the spray, Ceme. while the eky is blue sod gay, Aad bresets wander by. Como, let thy heart be glod ond free. Attun’d to Notnro’e mood ; Come No b neath the wildwoo I tree. And dream Shy dream, whate’er U be, In thie sweet eolitude. The freebnese ef the early day, WtJ> quickly disappear , Thy dream, eh. dreamer ! pass away — Naught beautifu 1 an earth may stay , . Yet tore it while ’tis here, Lebe I boa the blossom on the lea. Loco t bom (bo wild birds’ song ; If pore thy thoughts, thy fancy free, Lore thou thy dream, wbate’er it be ; 1 Thy dream will make thee strong. Then to tke wildwood come away, Ita beauty is for Ikes ; Enjoy its bloom—it must decay ; Inhale its breath —ii may not etay Sara in thy memory. O'.! r,v- Muo R M. Rooeas.

D«> you know that there are about eighty thousand commercial travtl ers iu the United States! Surpris ed to hear it! Yes, most people are wbeu they are told of it, but it’s a fact, nevertheless. You may also be surprised to learn that every one of them spends on an average $3,000 a year, or a total of $240,000,- 000. If you add to this their salaries, averaging at least $1,000, you have a total expenditure by commercial travelers of $20,000,000 a year. This is naturally spent in ail parts of the country; bat the hotels and railroads got the lion’s share of it Daring the last ten years there has been a great change in the ebaraeter of the commercial traveler. The old Bohemian type has almost en tirely disappeared from the road, and drinking meo are much more rarely met with there than form erly.
