They leave their own gardens to grow lull of weeds, while they are trying to hold up before everybody the few they pull from their neighbor's. 0, how they toil to rob those of their reputation, their pence, their prosperity nnd pleasure.

There's a wonderful place in the mystical past, For the days that one time have been; Into which Vainer Time doth so many things cast, Which occur in the frail lives of men. There are many events, in the passing of days, Of which lime, from all a;;cs tore; And the things once there placed, forever will stay, In the land of the vast -"Nevermore." U what a collection of things, to that land, Have gone since the morning of time ! We could as soon number the small grains of sand, Which cover the shores of all climes. There are treasured events, which are dear to the heart, Tor which we, of time, vain implore, But once we permit ihem from us to depart, They're lost in the land "Nevermore." This land's strewn with fortunes lost, risked for a gain, And hopes which forever have gone; And friends and our loved ones we sigh for in vain, But o'er whom death's mantle is drawn, "O where are my pleasures ? frail man often moans, "O time please, my lost hopes restore !" "I can't, if I would," says time in mild tones "They're gone to the land "Nevermore." "Such a horrible place !" shrieks man, in his haste, "Which doth all my happiness .hold; O why should there be such a desert of waste? Which 'tween me and pleasure, hath rolled !" Nay ! nay ! weak mortal you're rash in your speech, As if I'd your losses restore; But they're gone forever, as soon as they reach The land of the vast "Nevermore." "O please, Father Time, roll backward the years, And give me my treasures again ! My pleasures! my treasures !" man pleads in his tears, But all of his pleading is vain. You know not, weak mortal, for what you have plead, The days of your pleasures are o'er; So cease now, your ravings be quiet instead They're gone to the land "Nevermore." Said time, "O weak mortal ! lost hope ne'er return, But you should not dare to complain; For dangers and toils, of which you must learn, This land, too, doth also contain. There is sickness and sorrows, anguish and tears, And the burdens and pains which you bore, Which now, all are gone, with the flight of the years, To the land of the vast "Nevermore." "O mortal ! weak mortal ! If for what you have plead, Were granted for you once again; Did you know that you'd rob many graves of their dead, And also bring sickness and pain? And though the land's tilled with wrecked friendships and such Losses, which grieve the heart sore; But, too, there are heart-aches and miseries, much, That are gone to the land "Nevermore." Don't let opportunities pass without heed, As though, forever, they'd last; m For after they're gone, you'll then see the need Of using the present then past. Now's moments are golden no future we know, And fortune, but once knocks at your door; So use well the present, before it shall go To the land of the vast "Nevermore." ENEMIES OF THE KISS. IN HOT WATER. LADY OF MINK. Lady of Mine, with the wide gray eyes, Wistful and wise and smiling, Warm with the glow of the thoughts that rise Out of their depths beguiling; Troubled with sorrow or bright with tears, Who is to make them shine Softly aglow through the coming years, Lady of Mine? Lady of Mine, with the soft warm lips, Filling my heart with longing, Promising heaven's and earth's eclipse, Swiftly the dreams come thronging; Dreams of a future with you with you, Pulsing my veins like wine, Promising happiness, sweet and new, Lady of Mine. ' Lady of Mine, I have little to give, Only a love unending, Only the years we have left to live, Only an arm for fending;' Troubles away in those parts to come When I kneel to a single shrine, You, my dearest, just you and home, Lady of Mine. lectrSc Bs"S:e&s 8uccf od when everything cist hits.

Relentless Reformers Would Ban ish the Lovers' Delight. Aiuiiinp nr p..1! no oninMn! Being the Confessions of the Seven Hundredth Wife and Translated by Helen Roland for the Washington Herald. The kiss has always been the subject of passionate controversy, and crusades have frequently been waged against it, but there is noth ing to show any diminution of its popularity. In some countries the men kiss one another, but do not kiss the women. In others the women kiss one another promis cuously, but do not kiss the men, unless nobody is looking. In cer tain communities the young wo men of a household welcome ev every stranger with a kiss, but it seems tq have neither political nor amatory significance. Public sen timent in this country recognizes no impropriety in a kiss between relatives, or the parting or the home-coming kiss. Engaged cou ples are supposed to have the priv ilege of free and unlimited oscula tion. At any rate, they take it. But the kiss has had its relent less foes. The illustrious sapheads of old Connecticut, in framing their Blue Laws, which were al most as extreme as the laws of Russia and some of the American States, declared that the Sunday kiss was illegal. Hence a mother couldn't kiss her baby on the Sab bath day, and a sailor who arrived home on Sunday, after a three years' cruise, was promptly arres ted and punished for kissing his wife. In recent years the scientific alarmists have had much to say about the deadly character of the kiss. They have proclaimed it to be a ready means of disseminating bacteria germs, and bacilli, and1 have called attention to the fact that, whenever a germ moves his residence, he takes the entire fam ily along with him. In spite of this sounding of "alarms with out," the popularity of the kiss has not waned, and people still prefer' to be happy rather than healthy. To us it is evident that the kiss has come to stay; but the city of Atlanta does not agree with us. It has passed some sort of an ordi nance against osculation, and it is making examples of those who vi olate it. A drummer was arrested for kissing his wife on the public highway a few months ago, on his return from a business trip. The wise and learned judge, in fining the drummer, said that he could make no distinction between those who kissed the wives of the other fellows, as public kissing was for bidden by law.

Uncle Jerry Peebles, who had taken a seat in (he smoking car, had filled his pipe and was about to hunt in his coat pock et for a match when a large man of much equatorial diam eter sat down in tlio vacant seat by his side, complacently crushing him against the side of the car and almost oblitera ting him. Uncle Jerry said nothing and proceeded in his search for a match, It was hard work to get his hand down between himself and the large man, but he found the pocket at last and took out thjpe or four matches all of which went out as he struck thorn, ono after the oth er, except the lust. "Vou'ro welcome," said the portly man, glancing down at him over his shoulder. "Was that your pocket I had my hand in?" t "It was."

Competition is the life of the love game, Getting around Cape Horn in a stom is a simple thing beside getting around a husband before dinner. A man always feels as frightened and astonished when he discovers that he has fallen in love as though into a ditch in the dark. A wife with a perfectly even disposition sometimes gets on a man's nerves as a music box with only one tune. It's easy enough to love and honor a husband but humoring him takes real energy. ... A man's love is something like the weather; after a spell of high temperature it is likely to be damp and cool for a few days. . Methuselah's wives must have found it awfully liresome waiting for the insurance money and a chance to see how they looked in mourn ing. A man always says that it was "force of circumstances.' that drove him into the downward path; but, from the celerity with which he goes, i, would snnear to be force of eravity that keeps hinr There.
