When the Grass Shall Cover Me.
When tile grass shall cover me.
Head to foot where I am lying,—
When not any wind that blows.
Summer blooms nor winter snows,
Shall awake me to your sighing.
Close above me as you pass.
You will say, "How kind she was,"
You will say, "How true she was,"
When the grass grows over me.
When the grass shall cover me,
Holden close to earth's warm bosom,—
While 1 laugh, or weep, or sing
Nevermore, for anything.
You will find In blade and blossom,
Sweet, small voices, odorous,
Tendt*r pleaders In my cause.
That shall speak me as I was—
When the grass grows over me.
When the grass shall cover me!
Ah. beloved. In my sorrow
Very patient I can wait.
Knowing that, or soon or late,
There will dawn a clearer morrow;
When your heart will mourn "Alas!
Now I know how true she was;
Now I know how dear she was"—
When the grass grows over me!

Over the low Are In the middle of
the waste place that had been a ban
queting hall crouched Hugh O'Rourke.
He was wet and chilled to the bone
with a long ride through mountain
mists in the heart of winter. There
was winter in his heart, too, for his
step was a broken one, and ills name
proscribed, and, where his father
might have held together the breaking
fortunes of name and clan by the
sheer power of voice and face, Hugh
tho younger had been borne by his
mother in a time of tempest and terror,
and his face was wan and uncomely
and his eyes wild and sad.
“My father did not well to take a
woman by force,” he said aloud to tho
sinking Are that was all his company.
“Black eyes and yellow hair pleased
him well, belike, but he pleased not
my mother, and she revenged her upon
me who was innocent and unborn, giv
ing mo an April mind and a craving
heart for her gifts on the day that sha
conceived me. Who enters there, in
the name of God?” He sprang up,
sword in hand, and then laughed at
his outcry, for it was a girl child who
stood in the doorway, a little maid of
eleven years, fair to see, whlto as a
snowdrop, with pale yellow hair
streaming from under her put back
hood.
“Little maid, you come to an empty
house,” Hugh O'Rourke said, “but you
are welcome. You do not come
alone?"
“I come alone, Aodh,” she said, an
swering his English with the Irish
tongue. "I shall not fill your house.”
Hugh stood still beside the Are,
while she came slowly down the room
toward him, shaking the raindrops
from her bowing hair as she came. A
little way from the Are she stood,
looking at him with large eyes.
“Why do you meet me with bare
steel?” she said. "I looked for other
greeting from your father's son, Hugh
O'Rourke.”
Hugh cast down his sword upon the
bench he had risen from and took a
step forward to meet her. Then he
stopped, amazed for It was not a
child she was, but a grown woman It
was that cast off hood and cloak and
came to him with eager face and
eager hands.
"Hugh O’Rourke,” she said again in
the kindly Irish tongue, "have you for
gotten me so soon?”
“Have I ever seen you before, O fair
one?" Hugh said. Then, because her
Angers were warm in his and her eyes
dwelt on his, he ceased questioning
and had no more wonder or fear at
the fairy change than had passed upon
her in a moment, making a woman out
of a child.
“I am she you have desired so long,”
she said, with tears and laughter in
her voice. "I am she whose eyes you
have seen in many faces that looked
not kind on you, whose breast you
have desired to lie on so many times,
whose soul your soul has sought and
never found.”
And she laid her mouth to his
mouth, and tho beating heart of her
turn rotten after growing ripe. Kls*
me—nay, but only with your eyes, be
loved—and tell me how mortal I am."
He kneeled down beside lier now
and cast his arms about her fair body
as she sat in his seat, looking up at
her with eyes that changed slowly
their wonder for worship. Then ha
loosed a hand and drew down a thick
curl of yellow hair to his lips, and
presently blindfolded his eyes with its
softness.
“I am answered,” the woman said
at last, "That which is not mortal in
you has spoken to me immortal, and
we know one another. So"—she drew
the bandage of hair from his eyes and
smiled down Into them—"you love me,
Hugh?"
"If I know what love Is, beloved."
She uncovered his eyes and looked
deep into them, laughing. "1 am beau
ty and I am love, and I have chosen
to He on the bosom of a man whom
the tongue of the world knows not—
a dreamer who has achieved none of
his dreams, a soldier whose sword has
won him nothing—and thero Is beauty
and success and strength In the world
outside. How is It you can keep me
here, Hugh?"
“Sweet, I shall never know."
"Hush, unbeliever! Let us be man
and woman together for a little. My
SOME FLORIDA PHILOSOPHY.
The illusions of life are but the
handles to our surroundings.
Poor indeed is a friendless master,
though he may govern a world.
Wo shall all be alike in our graves
—though the box holding our bones
may differ.
The period of good cheer is now up
on us, and the frown should be taken
to eoid storage.
A true friend is distinguished in the
crisis of hazard and necessity, when
his aid comes without hope of re
turn.
Some men never lie verbally, though
act one a dozen times a day, yet they
believe that truthfulness is one of
their virtues.
Some men have such narrow hori
zons that they often journey to the
outskirts, returning as they left, with
empty souls and barren heads.—Jack

THE QUESTION OF SHAPE.
New York Writer Says the World Is
Mad on the Subject.
The world is gone mad on strength
and shape, says “Tip” in the New
York Press. Magazines and newspa
pers are alive with advertisements of
methods of acquiring the muscle of
Hercules, the arms of Venus, the neck
of Juno, the bust of Vesta, the waist
of Josephine, the hips of Diana, the
legs of Cleopatra. Minerva is for the
moment in the background. No hope
for wisdom now! Women are dis
played in impossible positions and ad
vised to repeat certain poses. Mrs.
Cutex asked Mrs. Butex, “How do you
keep your front so fiat, my dear?”
Mrs. Butex replied: “Oh, I am under
instructions. Thirty times in the
morning a*d thirty times in the even
ing I pick up each foot in my hands
nnd touch the toe to the tip of my
ear. You can have no idea how much
it has reduced my front, certainly
several inches and some pounds.”
"Do you stand up and do that?"
“Necessarily; stand on one foot while
the other is in the air.” “Merciful
heavens! ”

To Remove Whlto «pot».
When from the dropping of liquid
sr from heat white spots appear on
the poilished surface of chair or ta
ble, the immediate application of raw
linseed oil will generally restore the
-solor. The oil should be left on the
affected part over night. Alcohol
will perform the service if applied at
3nce to rosewood or mahogany. In
;ach instance, when the color has re
turned, the spot should be repolished
with a piece of cheesecloth moistened

and drink, and let be the tire. You
shall warm my hands In your hands,
Hugh, when we have eaten together.”
“Dear, what will you cat? There Is
only coarse bread here, hut I have red
wine In my butt, and there Is honey in
the comb, I think, and store of apples
In the loft—Winter Quoenings, and the
like.”
‘‘Bring me here the bread and wine
and lioney, beloved, and we will make
a wedding feast of these. And bring
me a Winter Queening that we may
play ball with it. when wo have eaten.”
He went out, and came back soon
with the bread and wine in a basket
on his arm, the apple In his hand, and
a silk coverlet over his Bhoulder. He
laid the quilt down at her feet.
‘‘This for your carpet, beluved. Now
will you eat?”
Sho drank half the cup of wine that
he poured out, and Hugh drank after
hor; then they broke bread and ate
the honeycomb together.
‘‘Tell me my name, Hugh?”
"Granla, maybe, because you shine
so bright, beloved.”
"No.”
"Ksca, then, because your face 1s
as pale as the moon when she is
young.”

a woman that was bitterly wronged of
an O’Rourke long ago, and died curs

to cry for the iwssing of every

”1 have heard of her, beloved?”
“I am she, the banshee of your
house, Hugh O’Rourke; but for you I
shall not cry. Harrea years have I
abided in mine anger, hut now 1 lift
my curse, for my love Is put upon a
man of the house that wronged me.
Do you take me for your wife,
O’Rourke, knowing this?”
“I take you for my wife, Ban-shee,
in the face of the sun and moon, and
I plight troth to you past death,
whether it come to-night or in fifty
years.”
"I take thee to my husband, Hugh
O’Rourke, and 1 lift off my curse from

The woman drooped to his feet, shod

kissed them; rose to her kneos and
kissed his hands and the hilt of his
sword; rose to her feet and kissed his
mouth.
Then they went, handfasc, into the
shadowy upper end of the room, where
the climbing firelight could no longer
find them.
And when the morning came, rosy

out to his serving-men with life nud
the joy of life in his eyes, and he and
the fair woman clinging to his arm
gave them good-morrow and went
forth, laughing. But, an hour later,
these found the body of Hugh

the serving men knew that they had

Chinese Trade No Good.
Compared with our vast trade with
Europe that with China will never be
more than a drop in the bucket. The
Chinese trade Is not now a dollar per
capita, and it is safe to say that it will
never reach the double of that major
ity. The fact is that the people are
very poor. They raise barely enough
of the necessities of life to live on.
They dwell in hovels. They have
little live stock, and man is the ordi
nary beast of burden, says ex-Minister i
Denby.
Over the low Are crouched Hugh

A little while they clung together

her at arm's length, looking at her

“If I dared only think of It, be
