PROP HECIES.
BY B. 4. E.

A anulit aky and sunlit earth,
Blue bills and buer river,
Cool forest depths where the springs have
birth,
Green fields where the grasses quiver,
A fair bright future without and With
in,
Glad hope to my heart is singing
For golden thread do the Pharca spiu
When they hear-a red/brsast sing!
A weeping sky and mourning earth,
Bleak hills and a bieaker river,
Da rk forest wilds where the storms b.,
birth,
Brown fields where the dead leaves
snlver,
a dim gray in'ure within and without,
Dread ear in my heast is uging,
For in the gold dawn when faith 10 .
doubt
heard-a wbipIpooHwill singing!
4 bloodlbought earth without bemish Ct
spot,
A crystal life throbbing river,
Green pastures of rest where the re,s
cOmeth not,
Joy endleas-iOr God is the river!
A future uneuding, beyond and above,
Sweet Faith 10 my hear, is bringing,
For sunrise hath come with light and
with love;
And hark!-there's sky/lark singing

SUMMER, SWEET, GOon-

Gold and red and purple leaves
Futter down the wind;
With the snow OF thistle down
All the lanes ore lined.
Clear and keenly blue tho sky,
Hurrying birds are flying high,
Singing: "summer, sweet, eood'by!
Summer, sweet, good-by"
Sheaves are nodding in the emo,
AZ ifpsssed oloug,
In . gay, fantastic rout,
Summers fairy thrOng,
When the fading willow swings,
Where The nest deserted, clings,
Listen to the:brook, that sings:
'Summer, sweet, goood-by!"
Woodlands whisper sed farewells;
Squirrels frisk and spring;
Pstter, patter, rain and nuts,
For their harvesting.
Flocks of merry birds so by.
Meath the hearts enclouded sky,
Hopeful, trustful, while we sigh;
"Summer, sweet, ood-by!"
