IN A ROSE CARDEN.
A hundred years from now, dear heart,
We will not care at all;
It will not matter then a whit,
The honey or the gall ,
The summer days that we have known
Will all forgotten be and flown;
The garden w ill be overgrown
Where now the rose', hill,
A hundred years from now, dear heart.
We will not mind the pain;
The throbbing, crimson tide of life
NX ill not hu\e left a stain,
The song we sing n gethei, dear,
The dream we dream together here,
\X ill mean no more than means a tear
Amid a Sumttiet rain
A hundred years ft. m now, dejr heart.
The grief will all be o'er,
The sea of care w ill surge in vain
Wpon a careless shore.
These glasses we turn dow n t day.
Here at the parting of the wav,
We shall be wineless then as thev,
And will not mind it more.
A hundred years from now, dear heart,
We'll neither know nor care
What came of all life's bitterness,
Or followed love's despair;
Then fill the glasses up again
And kiss me through the rose-leaf rain.
We'll build one castle more in Spain
And dream one more dream there
NELLIE GRAY.
There’s a low, green valley on the , Id Kentucky sli. re
There I’ve whiled many happy hours away
A-sitting and singing by the little cottage door.
Where lived my darling Nellie Gra,
CHORf’S:
O, my poor Nellie Gray, they have taken ;>■ u away,
And I'll never see my darling any more.
’m sitting by the river and I’m weeping all the day.
For you're gone from the old Kentucky sh re.
When the moon had dim'ed the mountain and the stars were s.:;; g. mo,
Then I’d take my darling Nellie Gray,
And we’d float down the river in my li re red cj toe,
While my banjo sweetly 1 would play.
One night I went to see her, but she'd gone the c.ghh >rs .j>
Ttie white man bound her with chains.
They have taken her to Georgia for to wear her lee away,
As she toils in the cotton and the cane.
My canoe is und.r water and my banjo is unstrung —
I’m tired of living any more.
My eyes shall look downward and my song shall he unsung,
While I stay on the old Kentucky shore.
My eyes are getting blinded, and I cannot see my way
Hark! There's somebody knocking at the door,
O' I hear the angels calling, and I see my Nellie Gray—
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
CHORUS.
O, my darling Nellie Gray, up to heaven there they say
That they'll never take you from me any more;
I’m coming, coming, coming, as the angelsclear the way,
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.

Billings, ex doughboy, had a
noble war record and a tine dispo
sition, but nevertheless his face
was not one to make a woman go
into ectasies. However, he mar
ried and raised a son,
“Dad," said the bright young
hopeful, "one of the boys at school
today said I looked like you."
“1 think you do too," replied
the proud father. “What did you
say?"
"Nothing.' He was bigger than
I am.”
