Winter Voices.

Out Of her sleep nature yet gives forth
voices betokening that life abides be
heath the semblauce o. death, that her
warm heart still beats under the white
shroud that enfolds her rigid breast.
A smothered tirkle as OF mufiled bells
comes up from the streams through their
double roofing of snow and ice, and the
frozen pulse of the trees complain of its
thralldom with resonant twang as Of a
strained cord snapped asunder.
Beneath their frozen plains. the lakes
bewail their imprisonment with hollow
means that awaken wild and mournful
chorus of echoes from sleeping shores
that answer now no caress of ripples nor
angry stroke OF waves nor dip and splash
of oar aud paddle.
The breeze stirs leafless trees and
shaggy evergreens to murmur that Is
sweet If sadder than they gave is. In the
Ieafv DAYS of summer. when it bore the
perfume of flowers and the odor of green
fields. and one may imagine the spirit of
springtime and summer fingers among
the naked boughs, yoicing memory and
hope.
