vIoLETs.

Blue and white, Ia soft array,
Over the meadows the violets lay,
Lowry and meek, as If kneeling to pray.
A little brook goeth murmuring by
Singing its tenderest lullaby,
While softly the violets stir and sigh.
And to the mosses gently cling,
And dainty bits Of color fling
Over the meadows wavering.
List, as they whisper, soft and low
To the warm earth heart below
Where ell sweet treasures spring and grow
And the sweet bird, 10 yonder tree,
Sings TO the violets merrily,
Sending his heart out cheeriIy,
And fieeting shadows come and 60
Over the grasses, swift and slow,
Down where the blossoms bloom below.
Little violets, dainty and fair,
This enc brief hour oh, let me share
The spirit of your sweetness rare.

A MEMORY.

Last night, as l SGT in the shadows
That gathered gu woodland and hill,
Iheard, ringing opL In the distance,
A whistle so cleasf and so shril
That it startled me from nSsesreaming.
Well knew twaa a lovefSscng
That was whistled b time TO heart beats,
And hurried his footsteps along.
Twas the old time song, "Mollie Darling,
And over and over again
The clear notes rang out in the stiffness
And echoed DER hilltop and glen,
Wondered If she would be waiting
And watching for him at the gate,
And thinking how fondly she'd chide him
For being a few minutes late
The notes died away In the distance,
was humming the sweet refrain,
was wiping away the tear drops
And fighting tine old time pain.
1prided myself in forgetting,
But the notes of that dear old tune
Had opened the food gates Of mem'ry
And brought back that far away june.
The years had rolled back and waited
To hear his dear whistle again.
The signal 10 tell he was coming
To greet me, my king among men.
