There is mountain on the banks OF
the Watauga that rises so abruptly that
it seems to stand in solitary majesty
alone. From its base to its summit, al
most within the clouds, it is covered with
evergreens that render it beautiful in
all seasons to the lover of nature. But
practical and romantic man sees nothing
i'll it but an opportunity to add few
more almighty dollars" to his pocket,
and his busy axe is laying low the noun
tain's pride. And fancy the monarch
cries, a.f
Must yield my emerald crown
To robbers ruthless hand?
Heeds he not the warning frown
VI my rocks and bOulders grand
Cares he not that e'er i,is birth
Thro' Spring rain and Winter snow,
Watched l Ger his mother earth,
Age on weary age ago?

Round me waved no lo.'aSe lar
On my banks no blossoms ,'ew
But old Nature loved her child !!
Sent the rain and dew from Heav'n,
And while the sunbeams smiled,
To ME my Crotcn was given !.
Grown of living, growing frees!
Set about with grasses sweet,
Waving in the river breeze,
And my glory was complete!

''Sewing Societies are generally places

"And when they had opened their treas
ures, they presented unto him gifts-gold
and frankincense and myrrh.''
Frankincense and sacredcst oil
In ivory, chased with devices
Cut quaint and in serpentiue coil
Heads bare, and held down to tho bosom;
Brows massive and with wisdom bronzed;
And BORNE to the breast and beyond
Come the wise of the East, bending lowly
On STATS, with their garment girt around
With girdles of hair, to the Holy
Child Christ, in their sandals. The sound
OF song and Thanksgiving assembled
Deep night Yet some shepherds af,r
Heard 4 wall with the worshipping blend Il
And they then knew the sign OF the star.
''And when they had sung an hymn.
they went into the Mount of Olives
What song Sang the twelve with the Sa-
yiour
When they had finished the Sacrament
wine
Were they bowed and subducd in beha-
viour,
Or bold as made bold with sign
Were the hairy breasts strong and defiant?
Were the naked arms brawny andstrong?
Were the bearded lips lifted reliant,
Thrust fuIttI and full sturdy with song?
What sang they What sweet song of
Zion
With Christ in Their midst like crown?
While here sat Saint Peter. the lion;
And there; like a lamb, with head down,
Sat Saint John, with his silkcn and raven
Rich hair on his shoulders, and eyed
Lifting mp to the faces unshaven
Like a sensitive child in surprise.
Was the song as strong fishermen swing
Their nets full of hope to the sea-?
Or low, like the ripple wave, singing
Sea songs on the loved Galilee?
Were they sad with foreshadow of fsorrows
Like the birds that sing low when the
breeze
Is tip-toe with the tale of to-morrows-
OF earthquakes and sinking of seas
III.
''And 10 am with you always, even
unto the end of the world.''
What Song is well sung not of sorrow
What triumph well won without pain?
What virtue shall be, and not borrow
Bright luster from many a stain
What birth has there been without travail?
What battle well won without blood ??
What good shall earth see without evil,
Ingarnered as chatf with the good
Lo the cross set in rock by the Roman,
And nourished by the blood ofthe Lamb,
And watered by tears of the woman,
Has flourised, has spread like palm,
And put forth in the frosts, and far re-
gions
OF SHOWS in the North, and South sanos,
Where never the tramp ofthe legiOns
Was heard, or rcacEcd forth his red
hards.
Be thankful the price and the payment,
The birth, the privations and scOrn,
And the cross. and the parting of raimcnt,
Are finished. The star brought us morn;
Look forward ; stand far and unearthy,
Free-souled as banner unfurled.
Be worthy, o brother, be worthy
For God was the price of the world.
