IN DAYS OF PEACE. The staEwart troopers rode at ease, tn scarlet, gold and steel; Within ths park the worker crept To eat his scanty meal; Alas! the workers' meals have paid For sword and horse and golden braid. The glittering troopers charge along The crowded city lanes; No medicine like steel to soothe The gnawing hunger pains! Oh! toilers for the Lords of Tradf, .■ These are the gods your hands have made: _ —Edward Tregear, in the - "Weekly Herald."
