The asteroids are the members Of the

quartet retained possession of their broad

crowded as he set out for the depot, but he
undertook to run. He actually got about

THE MASTER HAND.

God smote one weak and trembling key
Tint walled the cry OF infancy,
The cooling undertone OF bliss,
That won the clinging mother-kiss,
With loving touch his fingers pressed
rhe chords that sung childhood blest
With sunny hours, with laugh and song.
When schooldays smoothly swept along.
The Master hand the octaves swept
Awaking Love who long had slept,
To deck the earth, the streams, the skies,
With borrowed hues from beauty's eyes,
Deep rolled the sobbing antnem-strain
That told OF struggle, loss, and pain,
The yictor's shout or requiem ran
All through the tragic song OF man.
Anon we heard the Rhythmic now
That moved so stately, sad, and slow
Mans death march with its cadence sweet,
With hating notes fol aged feet.
Still none have heard the compass grand
OF souls beneath Gods mighty aand,
Responsive chords OF melody
Shall sound TO all eternity.

that of Santa Barbara), the gentle repose,
the aspect Of peace and fertility

the picturesque disposition OF the shapely,
isolated trees, myriad of bright-colorsd birds,

the Ojai Valley at this time of the year

nothing to rival. There is one road in par
