Ashes of Roses.

tGrown people often write in sympathy with
children, but here is a little poem by a child
written in sy mpathy with grown folks j
Soft on the sunset sky
Bright daylight closes,
Leaving, when light doth die,
Pale hues that minglng lie
Ashes Of roses.
When loves warm sun is set,
Loves brightness closes;
Eyes with hot tears are wet,
In hearts there linger yet
Ashes Of roses.

June.

For stately trees in itch array,
For sunlight all the harpy day.
For blossoms radiant and rare,
For skies when daylight closes,
For joyous, clear, outpouiing song
From birds that all the green wood throng,
For all things young, and bright, and fair,
We praise thee, Month Of Roses
For blue, blue skies Of summer calm,
For fragrant odors breathing balm,
For qniet, cooling shades where oft
The weary head reposes,
For brookets babbling tbro the fields
Where Earth her choicest treasures yields,
For all things tender, sweet and soft,
We love thee, Month of Roses

Poems by Two Little American Girls.
[S. Nicholas Magazine. !

Elaine and Dora Read Goodale, the two sis
children of thirteen and ten years of age.
Their home, where their infancy and child
hood have been passed, is on large and iso-
lated farm, lying upon the broad slopes Of the
beautiful Berkshire hills of western Massa-
chusetts, and is quantity called "Sky Farm"
Here, in simple country life, divided be-
tween books and nature, they began, almost as
soon as they began to talk, to express in verse
what they saw and felt, rhyme and rhyme
seeming to come by instinct. Living largely
out-of-doors vigorous and healthful in body
as in mind, they draw pleasure and instruction
from all about them.
One of their chief delights is to wander over
the lovely hills and me,dows adjoining Sky
Farm. Peeping into mossy dells, where wild
flowers love to hide, hunting the early arbutus,
the queen hare-bell, or the blue gentian, they
learn the secrets of nature, and these they
pour forth in cong as simply and as naturally
as the birds sing.'
The Grumbler.
His Youth.
His ,at was too thick and his cap was too thin,
He couldn't be quiet, he hated din;
He hated to write, and he hated to read,
He was certainly very much injured indeed;
He must study and work over books he dc.
tested,
His parents were strict, and he never was
reeted:
He knew he was wretched as wretched d could e,
There was no one 80 wretchedly wretched as he.
His Maturity.
His farm WAS too small and his taxes too big,
Hs was selfish and lazy, and eros, as pig
His wife was too silly, his children too fude
Aud just because he was uncomm only good,
He never had money enough or to spare,
He h,d nothing at all fit to eat or to wear;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched as he.
His Old Age.
He finds he has sorrows more deep than his
fears,
lie grumbles to think he has grumbled for
yiars:
He grumbles to think he has grumbled away
His home and bis fortune, his lifes little day.
But, alas lis too late-it is no use to say
That his eyes are too dim, and lis hair is too
gray.
He knows he is wretched as wretched can be,
There is no one more wretchedly wro' cLed than
lie.

song, entitled Railways Keep a

woman who had rather hastily
learned the tune, and to whom the
words were unfamiliar. Three sem
timental verses were given, and
then, reading unsuspiciously from
some jeker's manuscript copy, che
gave very tender expression to the
following:
Always keep a smile for mother,
Do not drain the festive Jug,
Leave enough, somehow or other,
Just to moisten her old mug.
Touch it lightly, leave some in it,
Just o swallow, that's the style;
What you'd drink in half a minute
Is enough for mothers smile.
