THE SOLITARY REAPER
(By William Wardsworth.j
Behold her, single in the field, .
Von solitary highland lass:
Reaping and singing by herself;
2>top nere, or gently pass!
Alone s.te cuts and binds the grain.
And sings a melancholy strain;
O, Listen! tor the valo, profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
No nightingale did ever chant
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travelers in some snady haunt.
Among Arabian sands;
In springtime from the cuckoo bird,
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard,
13ieaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Win no one tell me what she sings?
i'erhapif the plaintive numbers flow
For old. unhappy, far off things,
And battles long ago;
Or is It some mere humble lay,
l amlllar matter of today?
Some natural sorrow, loss or pain,
That has been and may be again?
Whate er the -theme, the maiden saiif
A.s if ner song could have no ending,
I *aw her singing at her work.
And o'er the sickle bending;
I llsten'ed motionless and still;
And. as I mounted up the hill,
Ti.e music in my heart I bore
Long after It was heard no more.

Nonsense! The meetings will be as qu.ei
as a Quaker assemblage. The evangelist
will do all flic talking in his capacity as
• thlcal reformer. He will denounce i
vice nf talebearing and scandalmonger
and his hearers will depart to talk
tiielr neighbors elsewhere.
Gossip is the resort of an inquisit'
mind in idleness, folks with plenty or
important things to think about and us j-
fuj things to do rarely gossip. The gift
of inquislttveness is as useful to th j
financier and merchant as it is to nr
playwright and novelist. By its employ-
ment they get to know men and tholc
foibles, but they never fritter away th;'r
knowledge. They use it for stock and
build upon it. The evangelist may cu a
few susceptible persons of the habit of
gossip l>y the force of his eloquence
But he (annot deprive people of the in-
born trait of inquisitiveness. and, in
general, the only way to prevent th j
bad use of that gift is to put it to gcou
use.

THE PROHIBITION WAVE
The high license law voted for the city of Balti-

pay $500 next year, $750 the year following and $1..
000 the third year. The prohibition wave passing
over the South has not affected Maryland to the o\-
tent it has some other states. The fact that Balti-
more is much larger than any other city in the Soutn
and has a considerable foreign population probablx
accounts for this, and makes high license the on"
