A TRIBUTE TO FATHER J'JDGE
The world was in u fever; men mad with tales of gold:
Crowned heads were raised to listen, e'en timid hearts grew bold;
And college savants stopped the class, discussed auriferous sand.
And preachers dropped their bibles for the journals of the land.
And doctors cheered their patients with the tales so widely told.
Of where the rushing rivers were lined by banks of gold;
And bootblacks, princes, magnates, restless tossed by dreams of wealth.
On the altar to Dame Fortune cast their youth, their fortunes, health.
H> Felly Banks passed Ramparts, o'er Chllcoot's stormy height.
The snow was black with moving men like locusts in a flight:
An Kxodus more mighty than that by Moses led:
\ miradi' but second to Klija, raven fed.
And listen to their speaking as they diaw their loaded sleds.
With feeble frames so hunger pinched and note their low bowed heads:
Not one but deep is thinking with a heart as black as night.
How he'll | kiss the other fellow by hi* prowess and his might.
How he'll get there first, by Heaven! how he'll neither eat nor sleep!
How he'll reach that gold the first, if he run or if he creep!
Not one a kindness showing, not one with aught to spare.
To prove the God In human nature reciprocates our Father's care
Not one ? but we are hasty ? observe that form all in black.
sled ropes over shoulders and weakly bcudcd back:
Note that halting figure; eyes ablaze, but not with greed:
Feeble, anxious, half provided with the good s that he will need.
On those lips a prayer is trembling. "Grant me strength. Lonl for inv task.
Thine lost sheep 1 fain would succor. .? few more days is all I ask.
Guide this feeble, toiling temple, neive me. Lord, with strength thine own.
Thine. O Lord, the glory ever. Thine. O Lord, and thine alone."
Then with strength that's more than human Dawson finds him there at last.
Hundreds sick and dying 'round him, sands of life are ebbing fast;
In a tent without assistance, moves he quick from man to man.
Knows no creed and knows no color, be lu Hack or white or tan.
.Mines, of Monte Cristo "round him. wealth by millions to be had.
Not one thought of earthly treasure, for the gold which makes men mad
Taki-s healing ungence. soothing tonics, wholesome potions from bis sled.
He's cook and lauuderer, nurse and doctor, prays to the sick, inters the dead.
See those buildings rise around him. f've hundred beds and each one fil>d.
See him give his life for sick ones, day or night when all is stilled.
On his couch a moment lying, but no rest for wearied eyes;
See him sink at last exhausted: welcome rest; the good man dies.
Dead? Yes. dead, and how we miss him. miss his cheery, heart some \oic. .
Miss the simple, earnest Christian over whom tho Saints rejoice.
Priest lie was. yet more than priestly; man he was, yet more than man.
Christ taught pity played his heartstrings: fill his place no other can.
Arnold F. George.
Tin- above poem was written by "Prof." Arnold George. a Hawon new
paper man who passed through here yesterday. Father .Imlu'e, whom ili<
the poem was written about, was a Catholic priest who Went to Daw :i it
the early days and literally gave his life to aid the hundreds of sick ;tin
dying in the earnp. His grave is still at Dawson underneath the Catholic
church, and his name is venerated by all who knew hint.
The poem itself truly represents the conditions that existed in tin
?irlv days, and "Prof." George, who was himself a pioneer, has caught
he true Yukon spirit. The poem is well worth preserving.
