The Harbor Ilghts. When the sweet dusk comes down, and sward and tree
Take Its soft dimness, and the dew un locks
The deep hearts of the flowers and soly them free; When swift Incoming tides rise on the rocks,
Eager to meet the slowly lifting moon And mirror back her beauty's mystery- Then harbor lights shine out, across the Bra.
Man's friendly greeting with God's Llesy Ing blent
In one pure ray. And as the sall
grows white
Nearing the shore, passing the guiding light,
To anchor 'neath the headlands, safe and soon. It seems to musing eyes a Vision sent. A soft dream-picture, Imaging the blest And glad home-coming of a soul to rest. -Madeline 8. Bridges, In Overland Monthly.
Be Strong.
Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift We have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle face !:: 'tis God's sitt
Be strong!
Say not the days are evil. Who's to blame ? And fold the hands and acquiesce -- oh. shame'
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, In God's name
Be strong !
It matters not how deep Intrenched the wrong. How hard the battle goes, the day how long: Faint not -- fight on' To-morrow comes the -Maltbie D. Babcock, D. D., in S. S. Times song.
A Rain Song.
Don't you love to lle and listen. Listen to the rain,
With its little patter, patter, And Its tiny clatter, clatter. And its silvery spatter, spatter, On the roof and on the pane?
Yes, I love to lie and Ilsten. Listen to the rain. It's fairles-Pert and Plucky. Nip and Nimble-toes and Lucky, Trip and Thimble-nose and Tucky- On the roof and on the pane!
That's my dream the while I listen. Listen to the rain.
I can see them running races, I can watch their laughing faces At their gleeful games and graces. On the roof and on the pane! -Clinton Scollard, In St. Nicholas.
W'nr.
"From hill to hill he harried me; He stalked me day and night. He neither knew por hated me; Not his nor mine the fight.
"He killed the man who stood by me, For such they made his law. Then foot by foot I fought to him, Who nelther knew nor suw.
"I trained my rifle on his heart: He leapt up In the air.
My screaming ball tore through his breast, And lay embedded there.
"It lay embedded there, and yet, Hissed home o'er hill and sea, Straight to the aching heart of her Who ne'er did wrong to me. -Arthur Stringer, In Ainslee's Magazine.
"Gentle Spring."
At 8 the skies are bright and gay. At 9 o'clock it snows. At 10 It's Ilke a summer day. At 12 a blizzard blows. The sun returns again at 2 And shines to beat the band. At 4 the tempest howls anew And winter rules the land,
And one will keep where'er he goes- If he's a prudent man -- His winter and his summer clothes, And overcoat and fan. His gauze and flannel undersults, The flimsy ones and thick, His outing shoes and fur-lined boots Where he can grab them quick. -Elliott's Magazine.
Fearis and Tears. "Wbat splendid pearls the bride bas! How can a man give his bride pearls? They mean tears."
"Oh, that's superstition. Besides,
they are imitation pearls." "Well, if she knows that, the tears will be genuine, at any rate." -- Flie- gende Blaetter.
