POEMS WORTH READING. Poo-eet The oak trees in the twilight stand Majestically tall; And fences by tho sumach spanned Fringe the dark forest wall; And 'mid the acora cups the swina On the plump, russet acorns dine, Until, as the night winds rustle by, There comes apace a mellow cry "Poo-ee." Then from the mossy woodland bed Where thickly lies the "mast" Bobs up each bristly, swlni3h iead, With sidelong glances cast. And then with many a grunt and squeal Homeward is turned each cloven heel. And whiiO the dead leaves rustle dry, Faint sounds again that signal cry "Poj-ee, Poo-ee." And with his ridged and horny hands And crumpled hat forlorn. The chore boy at the feed lot stands, With store of shining corn, His arms across the hickory bars, His eyes upon the drowsy stars, While resonantly comes his cry Quaintly melodious, shrill and high "Poo-ee, Pco-ee, Pig, Pig, Poo-ee." Ernest McGafTey, in Chicago Herald At Niglit.

When morning comes, the ghosts that the night Flee and dissolve in the encircling air. The liys that tremble with the anguished prayer Of hope delayed, of bitterest despair, Smile, jest and sin, as though the heart were light. But in the room whore memory and pain Are shut la silent gloom froji mortal sight Through the long day; waen comes the still midnight, The portal is thrown wide, and dead delight I all ber marble beauty is revealed again. Lou V. Chapia, in Chicago Graphic Wise and Foolish Virgins.

Foolisa misses Give their kisses In a free and easy way; And they wonder, Think and ponder, As to why they single stay. But wise misses Keep their kisses Till they have upon their hand His sweet, pleasant Diamond present In a solid golden band. Brooklyn Eagle. The Husband's Protest. She's a fair and faultless creature, To none else would I be bound; Perfect in form and feature, No fonder wife is found.

She's as neat as she is pretty, For she helps to clean the eity With a trailing dress that sweeps upon the ground. I'm a man of publicpirit, But I cannot see the merit Of letting costly dry goods do the work Of street-cleaning departments, By furnishing garments To clean up tilth, commissioners will shirk. But she says it is the fashion, And no word of sense or passion Can gainsay fashion's dictates, so I smile; But my bank account grows less As I pay for each new dress For her to sweep the streets and keep In style. Demorest's Magazine. The VaUey of Sleep.

It lies in the west when the sun goes down, Cradled by shining mountains of gold, And its gaudy forests are never brown, Its meadows gleam with a wealth untold, Watered by crimsoning rivers of light Those shining pools now a mystery keep First, wa must hope, then love, then weep Morn cannot prize the pleasures deep Of the beautiful distant valley of sleep. At midday its streets look long and bright, The shade of peace but a sigh awakes, For rest to gain in the morrow's flight, The will and strength that victory takes; Bathed in the calm effulgent light. Tne iiusa of the summer's sweet rest may keep First we must oumb ambition's steep-Noon cannot prize tho sllenoe deep Of the beautiful hazy valley of seep. The shadows of eve stretch far and wide, And life, bereft of its old desire, Follows the wake of a purple tide Lit by tho sun's innocuous flra. Now when the ways a.e passed and Fain would we paddle these waters deep.

To tired to labor, or love, or weep; Eve would eternal slumber keep In the beautiful silent valley of sleep. Grace Boyle, in N. O. Times-Democrat. IN THE LARGE CITIES.
