Let there be light. O Italvl

For our feet falter in the night
o lamp of living years to be!
o light Of God, let there be light!
Fill with love, keener than fame,
Men sealed in spirit with thy name,
The cities and the Roman skies,
Where men, with other than mans eye
Saw thy sun rise.

For theirs thou vast, and thine were they
Whose names outshine thy very day;
For they are thine, and theirs thou art,
Whose blood beats living in mans heart,
Remembering ages fed and dead,
Wherein for thy sake these men bled-
They that saw Trebis, they that see
Montana, they in years to be
That shall see thea

For to thee, too, the high Fates gave
Grace TO be sacrificed and save,
That, being arisen in the equal sun,
God and the People should be one;
By those red roads thy footprints trod,
Man more divine, more human God,
Saviour; that where was no light known,
But darkness and daytime flown,
Light should be shown.

SIENA.
BY ALeERNoS CHARLES swryBuRyE.

Inside the northern Summers fold
The fields are foil Of naked gold,
Broadcast from heaven on lands il loves;
The green-veiled air is full Of doves;
Soft leaves, that sift the sunbeams, let
Light on the small warm grasses wet
Fall in short broken kisses sweet.
And break again like waves that beat
Round the suns feet.

And the blood blots his holy hair

And the blood biots his holy hair
And white brows. over hungering eyes
That plead against rs, and the fair
Mute lips, forlorn Of words and signs,
In the great torment that bends down
His bruised head with the bloOmless crown,
White as the unfruiful thorn. flower,-
A God beheld in dreams that were
Beheld OF her.

To praise thee, or to love at least,
mother of all mems dear delight,

Or my hands hardly strength to cling

In vain on ell these sins and years
Falls the sad blood, falls the slow tears;
In vain, poured forth as water springs,
Priests, on your affairs, and, ye kings,
About your seats Of ssnguine gold;
Still your god, spat upon and sold,
Bleeds 81 your hands; but now is gone
All his flock from him save one,
Judas alone.

Bow down the beauty Of thine bes

Sweet, and with lips of living breath
Kiss thy sons sleeping and thy dead;
That there be no more sleep or death!
Give Us thy light, thy might, thy love,
Whom thy face, seen afsr above,
Drew to thy feet; and when, being free,
Thou hsst blest thy children born to thee,
Bless also me =

The sheep Slaughter

Farmers are making great mistake
in slaughtering their sheep. But nothing
will stop them. 1t is pity that we
cannot have more stability and fixed
ness of purpose in our agriculture.
What we do we should do well-snd
stick to it. A farmer should think fer
himself and not be Influenced too much
by outside opinion. You cannot make
anything by raising common crops,
said friend year ago; "you should
set out a hop-yard." What would he
say newt There has been more money
lost in hops the last year than would
richly endow an agricultural college.
And if people were educated to think
they would have foreseen such result.
The fact is that common crops pay bet
ter now than anything else, provided
you can only raise enough of them per
acre. Stick to what you understand,
and let those who have fancy for nov
elites try them. There are enough
farmers, so called, who wish to make
money easily and rapidly, without you
and me adding to the number.
