A NEW YEAR QUESTION
Ah Life, what do you bold for me?
A loaf of bread --a cup of teal
You offer these with taunting grace,
A. mocking smile'upon• your face,
When I would` rather have instead
A glass of wine, golden or red,
The touch of night wind on my hair.
Frail scent of violets in the air,
The promise,of a dawning day,
With rainbow colors en my way:
And oh! T would much rather far
Have touched one distant, trembling
star,
'than lived my life prosaically
On loaves of bread and cups of tea!
—Clara Bernhardt..

THE NEW YEAR
The New Year is with us, the New
Year i$ 'here,.
So let us all greet her, with a smile
and- cheer.
She carnes fn among us, in bright
shining clothes,
So radiant and blooming, as pure as
a rose,
Her face it is: beaming, 'tis just like
the sun,
Her ways they are perfect; of faults
she has none. .
She steals in at midnight, from
space she is hurled,
And waits here so sr.lent, untouched
ty the world,
Now how dare we claim her, our
robes are so grey,
By sin we have spoiled them, Alt!
many a day.
Ah! will she stay with us, to keep
our way light,
And so lead us onward, in days that
are bright.
We all long to keep her, a new hom-
age pay,
Right gladly she'll banish, our dull
robes of grey.

INTERNAL HARMONY
Assured of worthiness we do not
dread
Competitors; we rather give them
hail
And greeting in the lists where we
may fail--
b2ust, if we bear an aim beyond the
head!
My betters are my masters; purely
fed
By their sustainmeitt I likewise shall
scale
Some smoky steps between the mount
and vale:
Meanwhile the mark I have, and I
will wed.
So that I draw the 'breath of finer
air,
Station is nought, nor footways
laurel -strewn,
Nor rivals tightly belted for the race.
Gohd speed to them; My place is
here or there;
My pride is that among them I have
place;
And. thus T keep this instrument it;
tune.
—George Meredith, Poems.
EARTH AND SIfY
The sky is beautiful, but T,
I love the green earth more.
The heavens seem so very far,
The world so near my door.
Above the are the splendid stars
So radiantly bright,
But 'here are r paths, • and pasture
bang
And little lamps at night.
The sky ie beautiful, ah, yes,
And yet the, good, green earth
Gives me each day her loveliness,
• Each day a whole life's worth,
How many of his weary ones'
The sun has left a -thirst!
But, oh, how many of her sons
Old Mother Earth has nursed.
The sky is beautiful, but flow'rs
Are beautiful to see,
And al'. the cycle of the hours
Earth spreads a feast far me.
And even when the thing is through,
When .all of life is past,
Earth's is the breast I turn me to
And find my rest at last, p��.

ROADS
There are roads that are highways
and roads that are byways,
And roads that look at you and run;
There are roads that are trodden and
roads that are sodden,
And roads that Wind up to the sun.
There are roads that are old roads
and some that are bold roads,
And others that hide in a wood;
There are roads that are scheming
and roads that Ile dreaming,
And roads that are misunderstood.
There are roads that will greet you
wherever they meet you,
And turn round and beckon and
cal;
There are roads that are mellow and
smile at a fellow,
And I can't help liking them all,

WOODPILES
I know this valley well, and Winters
here
Are Iong and desolate. Each barn
and shed,
Anticipating winter, nestles near
The houses where the farmers live;
instead
Of sprawling carelessly; and over-
head
The naked branches wait the fall of
snow.
The farms and meadows lie in silent
dread; •
And near the hems logs are piled
to go
Their journeys in their gowns of i

The joy of watching burning loge 1

To bring the warmth of summer

A SONG OF .HOME
"Home is where the heart is,"
With that I quite agree.
That means where your 'air folk
dwell
For there your thought will be.
Young feet may go a'straying,
Forever and aday,
Adventuring down luring roads
A thousand leagues away;
You may find fame and fortune,
And all that fair appears
But a Iittle wistful whisper
Will haunt you down the years.
A little pleading whisper
Which somehow calls you back,
Against your will or with it,
Down memory's winding track,
And there you'll find in fancy
The things you used to know,
The flowers that used to blossom,
The dreaans of long ago.
And through the mist which hovers
Round memories divine
You'll glimpse the well -loved face's,
You'll see the hearth -fires shine.
However far you wander,
Whatever lands youl''ree,
Yem' heart will still keep turning
To your sin roof -tree.
And through all your weary roaming,
In youth or life's last gloaming,
Your thoughts will still go homing
Where your ain folk be.
