Show THE ANQELTJS. . Th sun'? triumphal chariot wheels have rolled , O'er the low portal of tne western sky, I, Still trails his gorgeous vesture fold on I : fold.. . , .i Earth s royal lover loath to say goodbye; good-bye; , Soft lies tha halo on the furroyved land, . Slow skims the swailow to the eaves ' away; , In reverent grace two lonely toilers stand. i What sweetest music thrills the ebb of day? Hark! 'els tho Angclus -from yon tcrwer 5 gray ' "Ave Maria, gratia pier.a: Ave Maria, gratia plena!" Ave Maria! Luminous Queen of Heaven! Dreams of thy glory gild our rugged way. Thou art our Hope, our- deathless S;ar of Even. - . The res eternal in our desert gray. Thou vr'nose pure glance can Lucifer' appal, Be our good strength till. matin chime3, yve pray; -Our solace till the last Imperial call. When at the ebbing' of life's toil-spent day , Shall ring the Angelus from the steeple gray I "Ave Maria, gratia plena. - I Ava Maria, gratia plena!'' O tollers brown, ye stand at heaven' 1 gate. , . I A world of sin and pain throbs on be- neath; . Upon your prayer the hovering seraphs wait , ' , I And blend their hymn m cnaste adoring breath.

Becrowned and jeweled at the fe-ast , As mindream shaft rise, when far away 'I Shad ring the Anselus from the steeple ' S';IV' I Ave Maria, nratv:t piena!( s t Ave Maria, gratia plena!
