fledged with silver light,
A'hatching out the little stars, the
chickens of the night,

"IN TRE DAYS OF DLO"
From "Crochet Castle"
In the days of old
Lovers felt true passion,
Deeming years of sorrow
By a smile repaid:
Now the charms of gold,
Spells of pride and fashion,
Bid them say Good -morrow
To the best.loved. Maid.
Through the forests wild,
O'er the mountains lonely,
They wore never weary
Honor to pursue;
If the damsel smiled
Once in seven years only
All their wanderings dreary
Ample guerdon knew.
New one day's caprice
Weights down years of smiling,
Youthful hearts are rovers,
Love is bought and sold,
Love is less beguiling:
Fortune's gifts may cease,
Wise were' the lovers STREET SCENE, 1938

PERPLEXITY
If I follow my heart
I'may lose my head;
If my head I heed,
Then my heart may bleed;
And if I wait for a true accord
Of my heart and my head,
I may be dead.
So what shall I do?
Eveline Spenser.
A PLACE OF REST•
I knew she was tired -as tired could
be,
And now, with her things laid by,
She had to come in the twilight to
sit on my knee,
Then near to my heart to lie.
Her eyelids closed, and she fell
asleep--.
So trustful and sweet and mild.
She knew full well I would always
keep
Safe watch o'er my precious child.
lily own eyes closed. As if in a
dream
Methought 1 could faintly hear
The very angels above the sing,
While heaven itself drew near.
How oft have I gone as a little child,
When I've laid all niy things away,
To find in the arms of a Saviour
kind,
Sweet rest at the close of "day!
—Albert E. Elliott.
(iOD'S GIFT
One only night I had to spend
In Amalfi by the sea;
I prayed an earnest prayer to God
To let the 'evening be
A cloudless one,
To let the sun
Set clear and flawlessly,
It seemed God had not heard,
clouds rose
To hide the heaven's blue.
But, oh, the sunset I beheld!
The glory shining throug'is
That clouded west—
The loveliest
Amalfi ever knew!
No longer do I word my prayer,
Nor fret about the good or ill
"Gocl give this certain thing—"
That life may chance to bring.
The gift God sends
Always transcends
My small itnaginingl
