TO TIE AUTHOR OF WHITE
FLOWERS.

From writing you a letter
1t seems can't refrain,
Your poem in the EAGLE"
Has fill'd my heart with pain;
Sit down and write some stanzas
When to sadness you're inclin'd
Beneath Nile desperandum"
And leave dull care behind.
One so divinely gifted
Should sing a joyful lay.
Remembering It's darkest
Eefore the break of day.
For natures God already
To you has been most kind
In giving you so freely
Nobility of mind.
Believe the Masters promise,
On the mountain top he said:
Blessed are they that mourn,
They shall be comforted.'
Not successful speculation
But self-sacrifice and strife
For right, for truth and justice
Shall win eternal life.
Instead of lotus eating
In this season of the year
Just try well-filled bottle
OF good 'Anheuser beer"
'Tis better than the nectar
That Joe and Juno sips,
Twill turn to am brosia
By the magic Of thy lips.
God is a God of justice,
SO do not be petpieX'd
Wen all find our yocations
In this world or the next
Confidlng in His promise
Let's battle for prize
Above all earth's possessions,
A home in Paradise.
Yours sympathetical'y.

knob, she paused involuntarily. Eugene
Norcross was answering his wife's last
