THERE IS BLACK IN THE BLUE
OF THE SKY.

An artist one day al his easel stood,
And sketched with pencil free,
ssshe god of the meadow, the green of the
- wood,
And the purple and gray Of the sea.
a child looked over little way back,
And questioned the artist, ,s"Why, \
Do you mix with your color touch of
When you paint the blue IN the sky 2"
"0nly because see it. my child;
am painting the sky as it is;"
And he softly said to himself and smiled:
1T Is one Of earth's mysteries;
Not the lily itself wears perfect white;
Nor the red rose an unmi1ed dye;
There Is light in shadow, and shadow in
light, 81 7aS ~:
And black in the blue of the sky"
There are films over nature everywhere,
To soothe and refresh our sight,
For mortal eyes were not made TO bear
The dazzle of shadeless light.
Oar consolation and our complaint
Awaking both smile and sigh;
1nere are human faults IN the holiest |
saint;
There ls elsck, in the blue of the sky.

Many persons who are engaged iu

pleasurable occupation. In act, they
c.mplsin of their monctonous life
and Of their lack of the means of en-.

plans to spend the latter years of
their lives IN some town, where they
can have more to erjoy than they do

IN cities. however, desire to retire to
the country, and very many of them
do go. A large proportion of the
very wealthy men in the city own

are well versed in every department
OF agriculture, fruit growing and

OF wealth in other cities in the coun-
