II PRODIGALs.

When the roses of Summer were budding and
blooming,
And the yellow wheat bent meath its burden
Of gold,
The Prodigal Son came. ~world-weary and tat
tered,
To the home where his footsteps had echoed
Of old.
And they chung to his garments with tears and
TILL the cup Of his welcome ran over with
And the flowers of love and forgiveness were
In a b~lossoming crown for the ProdigAl Boy.
When the icicles hung from the caves and
branches,
And the Winter winds moaned round the
dwellings Of men,
Forsaken and homeless, the Prodigal Daughter
Orept back to the home Of her girlhood
again.
But they turned her avn AZ in the storm and the
darkness
To the icy-cold winds, with their chill,
piercing breath,
And the pitiless curses that followed her foot
steps
We're fierce as the tempest and cruel as
death -tchicago Current.
