The one thou lowest will be there"

return of her letters, which he refused.
Her story goes that she never heard
directly from him again until two years
after his reported death, when man
called at her house at dusk. She opened
the door herself; he handed her a sealed
package and disappeared. On opening
it she discovered her own old love let
tiers to Booth and line Enthusiastically
in his hand. It was, return your let

THE YEAR.
Five faces has the Year to me:
First, a snowy one we see,
White and shining, full OF fun
Till the winter days are done.
Then he turns a smiling face,
Sweet with tenderness and grace,
Spring-ti garlands on his brow
oh, the Year is lovely now!
Soon he looks through summer flowers,
Beaming on this world of ours:
Warm and glad and in his prime
Is the Year in summertime.
See! he filings the flowers aside;
CLOVIS he now in harvest pride.
Red and brown and gold, the fall
Shows the grandest face of all.
One bright hash-the glow is gone!
Now the Year frown puts on.
He is growing very old,
Cross and weary, stern and cold.
He has been good and kind,
Poor old Year! we must not mind;
Thinking of his early grace,
Well forget his cruel face.
Love him as he goes away!
Just week from Christmas Day
We shall have another year,
White and bright and full of cheer.
