"Who wins his love shall lose her, Who losed her shall gain, For still the spirit woos her, A soul without a stain, And memory still pursues her With longings not in vain. He loses her who gains her, Who watches, day by day, The dust of time that stains her, The griefs that leave hér gray, The flesh that yet enchains her Whose gracé has passed away. "Ah, happier he who gains not The love some seem to gain, The joy that 'custom stains not Shall still with him remain; The memory that wanes not, The love that ne'er shall wane. "In dreams she grows not older The lands of dream among Though all the earth wax colder. Though all the songs be sung; In dreams he shall behold her Still fair and kind and young." -------------- | he Family Market Basket The market of Saturday was a fair-sized one in spite of the exceed- ingly disagreeable weather and the rain and hail beat down on a splen- did showing of seedlings of all kinds, flowers and vegetables, of rhubarb and all sorts of 3 Asparagus was selling at 2 bunches for 25 cents and was rather scarce.

Coates, who ar- ranged the motor drives for the dele- gates. to the annual convention of the W.M.8. of the Montreal confer- ence, which was held in Kingston this week, is being congratulated for its success. Forty cars took the ladies to the points surrounding Kingston including the Royal Mili-| tary College, where the visitors had the opportunity of seeing the last practice for the .assault-at-arms which took place in Toronto last night. That more than 2,000 uniformed nurses of all creeds united for the first time on Monday night in New York's cathedral of 8t. John the Divine to honor the memory of Flor- ence Nightingale, the "lady with the lamp," and the 300 women who died while administering to the sick and wounded of the war. That happy children and parents thoroughly enjoyed the Empire day exercises in Grant Hall. The only people .who aré not satisfied are those who hoped for a week-end holiday, leaving Monday free, and are disappointed--and they are many. Kingstonians have friends in other cities where the good old "24th of May," known to the older genera tion as '"The Queen's Birthday," is still celebrated and who had planned all sorts of galeties for them. Others have friends, who have taken ad- vantage of the holiday in their town to come to Kingston expecting to have their friénds freé to énjoy the holiday, find them. tied to their of- fices.

That thé Kingston School Cadets and the Kingston Sea Cadet Corps presented a fine appearance on the ¢ricket fleld on Friday. The King stoniang responsible for the organis- ation of such work among thé boys of the city are indeed to be con- gratulated and deserve the heartiest support from their fellow-citizens.
