 9 The f))aine Tiik Morning. Forth from thesipphire sky The morn beams wide and fair As when its primal rose and gold Was »he l on Eden’s air. Unwithering is the dawn, I ween. For all the changes earth has seen. Cuba. This queenly tropic isle, Laced with its silver seas. Flush with all wealth of loveliness, Fanned with the velvet breeze; Why may not Eden linger here Anti gladden all the charming year ? War. Ah, havoc far and wide ’ Man's brother is his foe; Where birds should sing and flowers should bloom. Is red and grimy woe I In field and village, far and near. Are smoke and stain and groan of war. Thk Vhsski.. Our mighty ship lies near In ministry of peace. For battle trim, vet more intent That war and fighting cease. How calm and strong upon the the tide She bears our flag, our love, our pride ! Tiik Maine. On sky, on shore and sea Softly the evening falls; Each to his post of service, clear The sailor's night-watch calls. True as the stars along the sky. Each from his duty answers Aye! ” Tick Explosion. A shock, an earthquake crash ! A rush of frantic wave ! Some giant tosses her in air. Then drops her to a grave! Down witlj their ship go brave-souled men; The deep lifts none to life again. The Sorrow. Alas for human kind ! What destiny of grief For those who war, for those who fain Would come to war's relief! Roll on, O sobbing sea! in vain Sailed forth our proud, our knightly Maine. A. B. Hydr.

28 pastor of the Methodist Church at University Park. He was one of the founders of the American Philological Society, and is a member of the American Oriental Society. In i3fi8 the degree of D.D. was conferred upon him by Syracuse University. I)r. Hyde has used his gifts of mind and heart for the benefit of the world at large; for he has fine literary taste and ability. The Story of Methodism; Articles on The Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Zacariah, Haggai, and Malachi, in Whedon's Commentaries, A collection of Essays, 1500 articles for the Pittsburgh Advocate, articles for the Methodist Review, these are among his published works. But best of all. Dr. Hyde lives most in the love and esteem of thousands made better by his presence, for as a teacher he is at his best. “He adapts himself to the need of every student, presents the dryest of Greek roots in the most palatable manner, rivets to the memory every difficult or elusive point by some unforgettable story, and holds the interest unfagged. Greek grammar may slip from the student's mind, but there ever remains in his heart a chord responsive to the music of Homer, and to his disciple Atuuii B. Hyde. Verses by 3actyl The pale stars yield to a sad faced nun, In rube of sombre gray, Who gently, tenderly places Dawn The rosy fingered child of morn. Into the arms of day. The sun fire burns the golden west. The birds chant soft their prayers, The flowers droop low on the earth's warm breast. The very winds have gone to rest, And Day put by its cares. And Night comes on with noiseless tread, And o'er the dusk earth skims; The wise, wise stars wink out o erhead, The moon glides forth from her jewelled bed, The world is wrapped in dreams

In 1841 he secured the erection of the first hospital for the in-sane in Indiana, and was appointed first superintendent. In 1845, he was elected prolessor in Kush Medical College. He was the founder of the Illinois General Hospital of the Lakes, one of the founders of the Methodist Book Concern in Chicago, and of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, and one of the promoters of the “Methodist Block'' in Chicago. He was one of the projectors of the Chicago and Fort Wayne railroad. Jn 1853, he was one of the founders of the Northwestern University, the town of Evanston, which he selected for its site, being named in his honor. He was first president of its Board of Trustees, and occupied that position for forty-two years. In 1862, he was appointed Governor of the Territory of Colorado by Abraham Lincoln, his personal friend. Twice he was chosen United State’s Senator, when Colorado was knocking for admission as a State. March 5, 1864. he sigued the charter of Colorado Seminary and was President of the Board of Trustees until his death. The entire Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific, “Gulf” and “South Park” systems of railroads in Colorado he aided in promoting. He was the principal organizer of the Tramway system. He was one of the prime movers for lay representation in the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He aided in the establishment of Methodism and other denominations in this State more than any other person. He was a promoter of great enterprises, a pioneer of civilization, a maker of Empire. He was the most far-sighted mm Colorado has had. He had great friends, like Simpson, and Foster, and Lincoln. He was our leading citizen for years, the foremost layman in his Church. His was “one good gray head, which all men knew.” Concerning him Governor Adams wrote; “This mountain land has never before received into its bosom the ashes of so great a man—few lives have led a career so benificent. Sixty years of activity and every year some achievement for the betterment of his fellow men. He built schools, churches, cities, railroads, but I venture that to-day, if his spirit reviews the past, the most satisfaction will come from the underground road he managed, which led from the slave fields of the South to the freedom of the North. It is no wonder that Abraham Lincoln was the friend of this prophet, pioneer, builder of States. It was a complete life, aud we have only white roses for his memory'. Sincerely, Alva Adams.” Dr. Buckley called him “A conceiver and achiever of great things.” The Central Christian Advocate said: “One of the Rocky Mountains—a lofty peak west of Denver—is named Mount Evans, in his honor, but long after that mountain shall have crumbled to dust the educating and civilizing agencies which Governor Evans inaugurated will bear fruit—even through all eternity. ’ His benefactions were many and large, his services great on many lines, his character, through a long life, unblemished and forceful; his faith in God simple and constant. “ We shall not look upon his like again.”
