Do Not Forget Me.
A stray poem, dimmed by age,
showing the tender care of some one;
some one whose heart strings yet
vibrato to the strains of the “long
agosome one whose heart pulsates
quicker, as memory’s magic wand
sweeps the chords of the past, is be
fore us. It is entitled: “Do ‘Not
Forget Me.”
Do not forget me!
Tnc hours, full-freighted with n joy too deep
For words, have llown too swiftly by. Oil
keep
That joy undiniincd;
And though henceforth wc two sliguld
dwell npart,
Let no sid memories linger in your heart,
Or cloud your brow with care.
Do not forget me!
Think of the happy days when first wc met;
Their golden radiance is nround us yet;
The nfterglow
Of that blest time, when earth and sea and
skies
Revealed new glories to our wondering eyes,
Transfigured by love’s power.
Do not forget me!
(Jo where you will, you nre not far from me;
My thoughts will follow you o'er land and
sen,
I'ncensingly.
And in the stillness of some lone hour
Your i onl and mine, by strange magnetic
power,
Shall hold communion sweet 1
Do not forget me I
Think ol tile love Hint patiently waits for
you;
Think of the heart that ever clings to you.
All trustingly.
Content, if sunshine falls nround your way,
To brighten every path wherein you stray,
In loneliness 10 dwell/
Do not lorget me!
A kind remembrance is not much to nsk !
Surely it will not he too hard a task—
Sometimes to think
01 one for whom tho xrorld can yield no
bliss,
So deep so true, so exquisite as this—
To love and care (or you!
The Babies are up in Arms.
Some time ago a lot of dried-up eld
bachelors in Newark, N. J., started a
crusade against baby catringes on tho
sidewalks. Considerable discussion
was indulged iu, but it has remained
for the mayor of Algona, la., to make
a practical exhibition of asininity.
An exchange says: “The mayor of
that town lias issued a proclamation
forbidding the use of baby carriages
on the sidewalks, and it is needless to
add that all the babies and their
mothers arc up in arms to resist the
eucrouchmcat on their ancient rights.”
They have a right to be “up in arms.”
Such a mayor should be invited “to
move on,” and if the women of Algo-
ua are plucky they will move him.
