Law me to rest where the flowers are peeping,
Modestly peeping OUT at the gay,
And let their sweet tendrils while over me creep
Keep ail but the sunshine and zephyrs AWAY.

Ended this long day Of surrow and care;
Peacefully laid meath the daisy and rose.

Lay me to rest where the flowers art peepine.

Tired Of striving Of hoping, Of weeping.
Weary OF friendship that n.eltcth away;
Tired OF hollow hearts fond love protesting
Till advcr.ity's dark cloud haa buEsted in twain:
Tired Of the Judas 1scaEiot caress1ng;

FAREWELL SONG,

Breathing sadncss, bearing sorrow,
Tones that tell Of parting near
From cnch heart sweet music burrow,
Float to us from lips most dcar,
Telling us that bonds arc breaking
Which have held in magic spell,
And, though Keen our hearts are aching,
We mnst bid you all Farewell!
Memory leads us captive willing
Back through happy hours-
When dear hands our minds were filling
With the storcs OF Lcarning's bowers.
Faith and Hope 80 with n4, casting
Snnbcams bright that shed around.
Through our path, sweet peace and lasting,
From the teachings here we've found.
Minutes shorter grow. and dearer,
Ere the parting word We say;
Whispers Future, drawing nearer,
You must here no longer stay.
Then il sottest- tcnd'rest measure,
While beneath dark pain doth dwell,
SAY NC now to those We treasure,
Sister,. schoo1matcs. a1t-Farewel1!

MY DAILY PRAYER.

o Heavenly Father. Great and Wise.
In mercy turn Thine ear,
And hear the prayer OF One Who loves
4 little Sister dear.
II rude and fierce stormy blast
For her in store mntt be,
o change i for the zephyr's calm,
And send the storm to me.
Her gentle form, so fail and fair,
For burdens ue'er seemed made:
Thst brow so stainless, must thereon
4 thorny crown be laid:
All, no! retain for me the tho.ns-
Her Dath bedeck with flowers;
: II dark one spirit here must be-
Place hers In sunny bowers.
And il on Earth, in future years,
Our pathways wide be nyen,
In Memory's casket may we live,
And meet once more In Heaven.
