said a man of family. Why:
Bless your heart. there is nothing,
not rivalry, nor ambition, nor pow
erty, that can SO spur man as the
necessity of providing for a grow

instance. He's IA and as tall as

much less machinery and vastly
more cargo space. He comes in
eager with exercise, and sings out:
"What is there in the house to
eat?

eats, and positively it makes me
smile to look at him. I need no

The prayers Of Gods people are
asked in behalf of this gathering.

But when there's suthin for to do that's in the

He doesn't even seem to have the symptoms Of

He'll take in all the picnics, he'll work like
all possessed
At pushin soups for country girls but never
has no chest
When It comes to tossin up the hay or gatherin
in the wheat
The very idea OF that seems TO knock him off

Too much we poets sing of love, you say;
You bid us pitch our songs in higher key.
We look we listen with our souls and pray
To learn If such there be.
Not sing of lover Then we must close our eyes
And ears to every sweetest sight and sound;
For love hath many witnesses that rise,
Fen from the very ground
Upon the apples cheek the bushes glow,
Brought thither by the kiss of wind and sun.
The sea calls to the little streams, and 10.
They answer every one.
With sweetest music from the boughs above,
The happy mated birds the whole day long
Give me a glad assurance that tits love
That fills the world with song.
Not sing of love, when over all below
till NORM
Atom loved atom ages gone, and so
The worlds were born.
Not sing of that strange power that thrills the
heart
To widest rapture, makes ii strong and gladT
That sometimes in tt liie's all too heavy part
Keeps men from going mad.
You speak in vain. No power 'gainst this can
move,
AS long as earth by mortal feet is trod,
And this is truest truth-who sings Of love
VIII sing of God.
And never a song, however great or true,
So we'll the poets heritage can prove,
AS the hearts simple song, old, so new,
The song of love.

In lawful pursuits, whatever you do
Building mansion or mending a shoe
Be honestly earnest in all of your work,
Never attempting plain duty to shirk.
Whether you climb, dig, delve or burrow,
Do each thing completely; always be thorough.
Slipshod expedents avoid as a snare;
Perform every task with painstaking care.
Negligent methods won't bear the worlds test;
Give it, unstinting always your best
Whether you labor with head or with hand
Writing book or filling the land
Do everything vol; as well as you can.
No more is expected by God or by man.
No less will suffice for your own self respect
Or save you from sting of willful neglect
The purest of pleasure can only be found
In yirtuous effort, healthful and sound
This truest of maxims cherish and nurse

the number of names of composers of other
nationalities upon it.
Liberal prizes are offered for essays and
poems on stated subjects, and one for a
novel of 5000 to 5000 words in English
on a Welsh topic. There are also prizes

Silent in lily tent,
Dead, the bandit lies,
Over him the white leaves bent,
Shutting out the skies.
Clad in all his shining gold,
When the soft wind blows
You may see him here-thc bold
Robber of the rose.
Strange the fate that brought him here
Thus to die amid
All the honey plumber dear
In this lily hidl
Yet how just it seems that he,
Folded In this bloom,
Sleeps in death-a honeybee
Within honey tomb!
