CATALOGUE FREE [From the Denyer Evening Post.] Lay my White Shoes on my Breast. I am dying, mother, dying; I am dying, mother, dying; Soon I'll cross the Styrian wave To that dim, uncertain region Where abide the fair and brave; But before I leave you, mother, You will grant one dear request— (God will bless you for your kindness Lay my white shoes on my breast. Place them on my sching bloom Ere I take my long, long rest Lay my white shoe on my bosom They will comfort me in death. They will comfort me if I die. When my soul has fused in anguish And I fail to get my breath. Do not weep, my dearest mother — Lay my white shoes on my breast. Ah, what tender memories cluster Ah, what tender memories coaster 'Round these dainty shoes so white How my soul goes out with longing As I gaze on them tonight! Ah, I nevermore shall wear them, And my heart is sore distressed. But there's yet one sad, sweet comfort— Lay my white shoes on my breast. I am dying, mother, dying; Slowly cubs my life away; I shall not be with you, mother, When the night has changed to day. Slowly creeps the death chill o'er me, Death has called me for his guest— Mother! mother! hear me pleading! Lay-my-white-shoes-on-my-b-r-o-u-s-t. HAROLD BARNES. Perhaps this poem would be more ap- preciated were white shoes worn in Law- rence as in Denyer. —Ed. Political Seminary. The Political Seminary last Friday was wholly a student's session, and the topics assigned were treated in their order by Messrs. Orr, Cramer and Howell. The first was the General Relation of Geography to History. The speaker touched upon the climatic influence upon morals, religion, in intelligence and the industries. In tropical regions the inhabitants familiar with the extreme phenomena of nature became superstitions and given to the practice of idolatry. The inauguration became active. Budhism in India is an outgrowth perfectly natural to that country. The overcoming of the hinderances called forth ambition, aspiration and the development of the intellect. The fact that the Moors had blocked Genoa's route to the East made it necessary and actually led to the discovery of America. Second. The effect of History upon the settlement of this country. The Cordillera mountains on the western coast of our country made colonization from that direction impossible, at least unfeasable. The eastern sea-board possessed the natural advantages, in the form of safe harbors, navigable rivers, and a fertile soil with the Appalachian system of mountains to the west. The settlements of the English, French and Spanish were made in places which suited their idenls of colonization. Settlements followed the routes of least resistance, seeking the favorable influences of climate, soil, and natural products. The plan of American colonization was formed by the continent The plan of American colonization was formed by the continent itself. Third, The effect of Geography of the United States upon the sub sequent history, was treated with respect to two sub-heads, (a) the part it played in causing the civil war and () the influence by which a protective tariff was brought into existence. America is CONCAVE to the sky; Europe is CONVEX. In Europe spiritual aspirations predominate; in America, the physical. The climatic influence upon the minds of northern men augmented the idea of a democracy, of individualism; upon the minds of the inhabitants of the South, was the aristocracy of wealth and slave labor. In the South, the pursuit of political power naturally followed by virtue of the existing circumstances. The result, secession; the struggle for supremacy, the abolition of slavery is related most closely to the geographical positions of the two sections, (b). In discussing the tariff the speaker referred briefly to the reason for its existence and to the idea of a symmetrical development of our industries, and to the furnishing at home the raw material, otherwise sent abroad.
