merrily in the trees. The human tide
poured down the street, some laughing,
all happy. But Pitoa was sad. Nobody
came to do business with him.
Nanine entered. She was Pitos's

A HARVEST soMs.

With beauty crowned, the bearded grail
Basks in the harvest sun;
The nature needed for its growth
From countless sources won.
The cool winds kiss the golden heads,
The skies bent soft and blue;
And while men sleep, celestial hands
Shake down the balmy dew.
And day by day, in rain and shine,
Its story sweet Is told
Of Him whose tender love and care
The helpless world infcld.
For the old Ju,tean miracle
Each year is wrought again;
With His own hand the Master gives
Bread to the sons Of men.
And never, while the rainbow spans
The storm -elond's misty trail,
Shall ed-timc with its promise cease,
Nor harvest blessing fail,
