For the man whose clearer and truer sight
Has seen the mist hidden path of right
And the first faint dawn that ends the night.

And a need that is sore and great.

OF men who are firm and true;
Of men who will answer Il country's needs
And note that the heart of a people bleeds,
That Il eancerous growth IN the nation feeds
IT'S IL time for men-not you.
Make way, make way. For We idly stand
While our sons are sinking low,
W lille the voices of sorrow ill the land
And wtdows and orphans, on every hand,
Denounce a traffic by Satan planned
Ye stand, though our dearest goi
Make way, make way! Toa nations cry

But a God will heed, and. drawing nigh,

SWEETBRIER.

oh, The magic. subtle spell
OF the sweet, old-timey smell
OF the fragile tinted petals of the sweetbrier
blossoms fair;
1t conjures up the ghost
Off lovely time long lost,
As 1t filings the spicy odors of its balm upon
the air.
And my dreamy fancy strays
Backward through the devious maze
Thai my feet nave travelled over In the de-
cades since the time,
When ! gathered flowers like these;
While the numming birds and bees
Their minor murrnerings with the breezes
mingled into rhyme.
Through the twilight's soft half-gloom
Flutters in n faint perfume,
And a Renaissance blossoms from The ashes
of the past;
Memories that never fade,
Blossoms that hath ne'er decayed,
Breathe again the sweet aroma of the Joys
that could not last.
And ! love to loiter whore
TIL blossoms fresh and fair
Climbed and chung in eopIous loyeliness and
garnished all the place;
oh. the forms that nevermore
Pass the Intel of the door
That those darling flowers g~arlanded with
rare Old fashioned grace,
Mid the blooms of Paradise,
Where the palms in grandeur Use,
May there not still be Il yearning FOR the
homeIy blossoms here?
Does the r%ecompense of Heaven
In the lavish love there given
Hold gifts within its keeping that Will Danish
every teal?
And | wonder If the blooms,
Intermingling their perfumes
In the holy deils of Heaven in their sisterhood
embrace,
Tender blossoms such as we
Cherish here so lovingly,
And if among the wreaths and tufts the sweet
brier finds u place.
Pretty blossoms loved of old,
Dear the lyrics they enfold;
Fading, fadeless things commingled by the
spell of memory;
Blossoms sweet of opal hue,
Dainty petals drenched with dew,
Typical AT once of changeless and OF change
