From "a Wish. "

ask not each kind soul to keep
fearless, when of my death he hears.
Let those who will, if any, weep;
There are worse plaques earth than tears.
ask but that my death may find
The freedom to my life denied;
Ask but the folly of mankind
Then, then, at last, to quit my side.
Spare me the whispering, crowded room,
The friends who come and cape and go;
The ceremonious air of gloom
All, which makes death hideous show!
Nor bring, to see me cease to live,
Some doctor full of phrase and fame,
To shake his sapient head and give
The i'll he cannot cure name.
Nor fetch to take the accustomed toll
Of the poor sinner bound for death,
His brother doctor of the soul
To canvass with official breath.
The future and its viewless things
That undiscovered mystery
Which one who feels deaths winnowing wings
Must needs read clearer sure than he!
Bring none of these; but let me be,
While all around in silence lies,
Moved to the window near, and see
Once more, before my dying eyes,
Bathed in the sacred dCws of morn
The wide aerial landscape spread
The world which was ere was born,
The world which lasts when I am dead;
Which never was the friend of one,
Nor promised love it could not give,
But lit for all its generous sun,
And lived itself, and made us live.
There let me gaze till L become
In soul, with what gaze on, wed!
To feel the universe my home;
To have before my mind-instead
OF the sick room, the mortal strife,
The turmoil for little breath
The pure eternal course of life,
Nor human combatings with death
Thus feeling, gazing, might grow
Composed, refreshed, ennobled, clear;
Then willing let my spirit go
To work or wait elsewhere or here.

WHO Is YOUR BEST FRIEND 2

Your stomach of course. Why? Because if it is
out of order you of the most miserable crea
lures living. Give it fair, honorable chance and
if il is not the best friend ycu have in the end.
Don't smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the
morning. If you must smoke and drink wait until
your stomach is through with breakfast. You can
drink more and smoke more in the evening and it
will tell on you less. If your food ferments and
does not digest right,-if you troubled with
heartburn, dizziness of the head, coming up of the
food after eating, biliousness indigestion, or any
other trouble of the stomach, you had best use

The House Beautiful.

A naked house, a naked moor,
A shivering pool before the door,
A garden bare of flowers and fruit
And poplars at the garden foot;
Such is the place that l live in,
Bleak without and bare within.
Yet shall your ragged moor receive
The incompatible pomp of eve,
And the cold glories of the dawn
Behind your shivering trees be drawn;
And when the wind from place to plac
Doth the unmoored cloud galloons chase
Your garden bloom and CLEAN again
With leaping sun, with glaucing rain;
Here shall the wizard moon ascend
The heavens, in the Grim son end
OF days declining splendor, here,
The army of the stars appear.
The neighbor hoilows, dry or wet,
Spring shall with tender flowers beset;
And oft the morning muser see
Larks rising from the broomy lea,
And every fairy wheel and thread
Of cobweb, dew bcdiamonded.
When daisies go, shall winter time
Silver the simple grass with rime;
Autumnal frosts enchant the pool
And make the cart ruts beautiful;
And when snow bright the moor expands,
How shall your children clap their hands?
To make this earth our heritage,
A cheerful and changeful page,
Gods intricate and bright device
OF days and seasons doth suffice.
