ABOUT PEOPLE.

of these average people that is described by William C. Gannett in his poem

In Twos.

Somewhere in the world there bide
Garden-gates that no one sees,
Save they come in happy twos,—
Not in ones, nor yet in threes.

But from every maiden's door
Leads a pathway straight and true;
Maps and surveys know it not;
He who finds, finds room for two!

Then they see the garden-gates!
Never skies so blue as theirs!
Never flowers so many-sweet
As for those who come in pairs.

Round and round the alleys wind:
Now a cradle bars their way,
Now a little mound, behind,—
So the two go through the day.
