THYME.

All things true,

All things sweet--

Summer-dawn dew

And Love's heart-beat;

All things holy,

Hill-flow'rs lowly,

A far church-chime--

_These things dwell_

_In the smell_

_Of Thyme._

All things clean,

All things pure--

Joys that have been

And faiths that endure;

All things sunny,

Bee-song and honey,

Sheep-walks, rhyme--

_These things dwell_

_In the smell_

_Of Thyme._

All things set

With sharp sweet pain--

April regret

For vows yet vain;

All things fragrant,

Thoughts long vagrant

From Beauty's clime--

_These things dwell_

_In the smell_

_Of Thyme._

"Sir John Simon, K.C., cited as an illustration the friendship between

Daniel and Jonathan. The Lord Chief Justice: I become very nervous when

you support your law by quoting Scripture."--_Daily Mail._

We always feel more nervous when people _mis_quote Scripture for their

purpose.

"The Lord Mayor of London, Sir William Dunn, accompanied by other

members of the City Council in their robes, and the Lady Mayoress, were

amongst the very large conflagration at St. Patrick's, Soho. An

eloquent sermon was preached."--_Irish Paper._

"Burning words," indeed.

From a description of the difficulties of the members of the Press Gallery

in reporting Mr. BONAR LAW:--

"Since he has become leader of the House they have aged and grown

haggard and dejected. The sound of his voice fills them with

bread."--_Birmingham Daily Post._

Well, in these days that ought to afford them ample consolation.

"Sir Richard L. Borden's name, now a household word, became familiar

only six years ago."--_Daily Paper._

But even now he is not so well known as Sir ROBERT!
