a LIGHT LOVE.
BY u. sALviE CLARKE.

How shall | garland my head,
Lest some ribbons he miss
When he comes fora kiss?
See, my roses their petals have shed,
And, like love, they lie faded and dead.
How, can my face wear Il smile,
And the old snect surprise
Flash new love TO my eyes,
When 'u' rolnes, al inviting OF guile,
And know | an false all the while?
How can | give him my hand,
That hen fondlc to rest,
Asol Old, on lis breast
VIII ii blush when It's fingers are scanned
VIII he doubt me and half understand?
How. can NY accents ring clear?
"WhI n.ycoward voice fail,
Lest my lips tell the tale
That another to WOO nc was near
Whcn he LETT; and the new song was dear
And should the OLD love again
Der my bosom hold sway,
On some passionate day,
viii it leave me with pleasure or pain?
The fire dies, but The ashes remain.
Pleasure from either carcss,
Ofthe old love or new
! can gain. Which Is true?
And | change with the tint ofmy dress,
Sad ut heart all the while, | confess.
! so that. wlatc'cr fate bciall,
J can love. nothing 10th,
Either lover, or both;
Till u comes with more potent aca!l
Now unllrard, TO be dearer than all.
See how Il woman j. true:
All my story you've heard,
And plight YOU my word,
Ny Old friend. would you dcign but to wo'
lmight even, believe me, love you.

THE LARGEST GIFT.

The golden avalanche dashed down
With loud commanding crash,
And the gold within the treasury
Gave back an answering crash.
And the ruler, clad in purple robes,
And flashing back the sun,
Strobe, proudly smiling, from the scene
Of high duty done.
The other rich men heapcd their gold
Within the sacred chest.
And, as he praised another's gift,
Each thought his own was best.
But the purple and the linen robes,
And the costly fare ut home,
Were none the less, that they had given,
From their abundance, some.
Their rich and haunting raimcnt brushes
Aside Il sunkcn frame;
But the widow, in her rags, at last
Into the Temple came.
Anon her tiny ofrring fell.
With sound so thin and small
You would have said, if list'ning there
1t did not ring at all.
Over against the treasury
A watcher sat that day
One who had perfect power and skill
All human deeds to weigh.
AS his divine and loving eye
Bchcld that pittance fall,
Il tell you of TRUTH said He,
sIIer gilSis more than all
0 gracious Lord! so quick to take
For the great deed, the will;
The empty measure Of our power
With our desire TO fill;
Dear. blessed Lord. whose treasury
Is in the faithful heart,
Give all thy stewards grace to act
The widows noble part.

Sometimes it may intrude-
But bear with it always
When seeking for its food.

No luminosity incites it, but delight

And rob it of its fare.

Though they draw the claret-
Our judges would decide:
Harm them not, but bear 1t.

there, and rebel sympathzers elsew here. The
only possible way in which he can reconstruct

by removing rebel ebstr ctions to his measures.
