The Bees and Birds.

| think the bees. the blessed bees,
Are better, wiser far than we.
The very Wild birds in the trees
Are wiser far, IL seems to me:
For love and light and sun and air
Are theirs, and not a bit of care.
What bird makes claim to all Gods trees?
What bee makes claim to all Gods
flowers?
Behold their perfect harmonies
Their common board, the common hours,
Say, why should man be less than these,
The happy birds, the boarding bees?
The birds? What bird hath envied bird
That he sings on as God hath willed?
Yet man-what song of man is heard
But ha is stoned cursed, or killed?
Thank God, sweet singers of the air,
No sparrow falls without His care
o brown bee in your honey housei
Could we like you but find ii best
To common build, on sweets carouse,
To common toll, to common rest,
TO common share our sweets with men
We surely would be better then.

Bsmboozling Grandma.

There never was a grandma half so good!"
He whispered while beside her chair ne
stood.
And laid his rosy check,
With manner very meek.
Against her dear old face in loving mood
There never was a nicer grandma born;
know some little boys must be forlorn,
Because they've none like you.
| wonder what I'd do
Without a grandmas kisses night and
mOrn?"
There never was a dearer grandma
therer'
He kissed her and he smoothed her snow
white hair,
Then fixed her ruff1ed cap,
And nestled in her lap,
While grandma, smiling, rocked her old
armchair.
when I'm a man what things to you I'll
bring
A horse and carriage and watch and ring,
All grandmas are so nice
(Just here he kissed her twice.,
And grandmas give good boy every
thing
Before his dear old grandsoa could reply
This boy looked up, ana with a roguish
eye
Then whispered in her ear
That nobody might hear;
''Say. grandma, have YOU any more mlnce
pie?"

Give me thy dres MS she said-and I.
With empty hanis and very poor,
Watched my fair dOwery visions die
Upon the temples marble floor
"Give joy" she cried. I let joy go,
saw with cold unclouded eyes
The crimson of the sunset glow
Across the diSencbanted skies.
GIVE me thy youth" she said. I gave;
And, sudden-clouded, died the sun,
And on the green mound Of a grave
Fell the siCw raindrops, one by one.
"Give love- she cried-I gave that too.
Give beauty" Beauty sighed and fled,
For what. on earth, should beauty do
When love, who was her life, was dead?
She took the balm of innocent tears
To hiss upon her altar coal
She took the hopes of all my years,
And at the last she took my soul.
With heart made empty OF delight,
And hands that feld no more fair things
1 questioned her, What shall reQuite
The SAVIOR Of my offerings?'

Give guerdon for thy gifts of cost:

The worth of all that thou hast lost"

Black as the pit from pole to pole

For my uncomfortable soul.

Looms but the horror of the shade;
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid

How charged with punishment the scroll
