Where, to her poets turban stone,
The Spring her gift of flowers imparts,
Lass sweet than those his thoughts have soyyn e
In the warm soil OF Persian hearts: s,.4 t.-,l..
There sat the stranger, where the shade
OF scattered date trees thinly lay, .e5 y d
While in the hot clc ar heaven delayed
The long ami still and weary day.
Strange trees and fruits above him hung
Strange odors filled the sultry air,
Strange birds upon the branches swung, s.Sy
Strange insect voices murmurcd there.
And strange blossoms shone around, ny
Turned sIinward from the shadowy bowers,
AS if the Gheber's soul had found .a. p.
y fitting home in Trans flowers.
Whate'c he saw, whatc'cr he heard. t,.
Awakened feeling new and sad
No Christian garb nor Christian word,
Nor church with Sabbath bell chimes glad,
~But MosIc1a graves with turbaD stones.
And m0squ spires cleaning w,iite, in view
And graybcard MOlIahs in low trnes
Chanting their Koran service through.
The flowers which smiled on either Hand,
Like tempting field where such they .lts
Which once, o'er all that Eastern land,
As gifts on demon altars lay,
AS if the burning eyes of BaaI ..
The servant of his COnquerOr knew,
From skies which knew no cloudy veil,
The Suns hot glances smote hlm through.
''lAh me! the lonely stranger said, .-
'Thc hope which sped my footsteps on.
And light from heaven around them she'd
Ger weary wave and waste, is gone .r5
sEwIlcrc are the harvest fields all white
For Truth to thrust her sickle in?
Where flock the sOJls, like doves i'll fight,
From tue dark hiding place of sin i? =
GA silent horror brOejS DER all
The burden of a hateful spell -t ..-
The very flowers around recall
The l!Oary magis rites of hell!
"A nd what am O'er such a land
/ The banner of the Cross to bear?
Dear Lord, upheld Inc with thy hand
Thy strength with human weakness share !!
He ce aSed :; for at his very feet
In mild rebuke a flower smiled
How thrilled his sinking heart to greet
The Star flower of the Virgins child
Sown by some wondering Frank, it drew
Its life from alien air and earth
\ md told to Paynm sun and dew
. The story of the Saviour's BIRTH ga -s.
From scorchng beams, in kindly mood,
The Persian plants its beauty screened,
! And on its pagan ssterhOod .
/ In love, the Christian fiOweret leaned.
| With tears of joy the wandcrcr felt .-- .,.-
The darkness of his long despair
I Before that hailOwed symbol melt
Which Gods dear love had nurtured there.
! From Natures face, that simple flower
The lines of sin and sadness swept; e
And Magian Pile and Pavnim bower
In peace like that of Eden slept.
Each MOSlem tomb, and cypress old,
j. Looked holy through the sunset air
/ And, angel-lil<3, the Muezzin told ...
From tower and mosque the hour of prayer.
With cheerful steps, the mOrrow's dawn
From ShiraZ saw the stranger part;
| The Star flower of the Virgin-BOTn
Still blooming in his hopeful heart!

You, sir, have kindly alluded to my se:
vices to this company during the dark hours
of the great civil war, and the darker hours
co. the company that followed is close,
when tho flames had done their work.
To those of you who stood by me i'll
those hours of darkness and (to the faint
heaIted) despair, / owe much, everything
There were some good men that could not
see how we could ever expect to rebuild
the road and make it prosperous. ..-..
If the good God gave me strength to
plan and direct, during the dark days al
Iuded to, He gave you willing hands and
noble hearts to aid and to execute without
which no man could have been successful
No one has been better sustained by his as
sistants than 1 have been, and it is moss
gratifying to me to know that / leave here
as faithful and efficient a corps of opera
tives as any Rail; Dad company in our land
can claim to have in its service.

aud had agreed to call for Johnny on his re,
turn, he concluded not to put on his shoes
and stockings again, but leave them in the
wagon 20 he tripped lightly into school,
and the man drove away towards church.
His teacher was just hearing the lesson
which. by the way, Johnny was not ac>
qualnted with-which was the fates of the
rich man and poor Lazarus. Soon after John.
ny took his seat. it came his turn to answer
question.

''No, no, my son, the rich man went to
