Beautiful White River.
rBY wm.H. PERKINS, Barnard, VII

White River, formed OF countless drops,
Pours out its clear sweet fountains
Meath hillside rocks or near the tops
OF our grand Ever Green Mountains.
/ While melting SHOWS and pouring rain
And muddy brooks stain our river,
Then soon its waves their clearness gain
4 From their wise Maker and Oliver.
The suns bright rays, on passing waves,
Flash stars OF golden brightness:
Its waters leap DER rock bound caves
And display their snowy whiteness.
Those laughing brooks, help on the creeks
To Join all their river meetings,
And fondly kiss the rivers cheeks,
Chanting soft musical greetings.
In summers calm rejecting green,
From near shading trees and willows;
Large streams join down to closing scene
With the green seas rolling pillows.
Its fertile meadows, "farmers' PRIDE"
Yield us splendid corn and clover.
Tall vine-clad trees grow by its side;
Some, bowling with homage over.
Nice palace cars run near its side,
By steam (soon by homemade lightning)
While in them many people ride,
Though engines'screams are frig htening.
Bright, graceful hills, bold rocky heights,
Stand like river guards on dntyi
In Autumn's dress, what pleasing sightsl
Rich colors OF brilliant beauty.
Still gliding down its winding way,
Singing on with changeful motion,
It's waters form the pearly spray
And dance on the waving ocean.
AT length, as we may well expect,
On cold, foggy, frosty, mornings,
Brush, near our bright river, is deck'd
With starry Christmas adornings.
Winters chills its songs may hush,
By ice and snow surrounding,
Yet Spring its crystal cakes win crush,
While its joyous waves are bounding.
May praise arise with grateful thanks
To our Lord, the gracious giver
OF happy homes on pleasant banks
OF our Beautiful White River.

ACID PHOSPHATE.
South RoyaIton Notes.

The following poem was written by E,
mund Rice Skinner, who was born in Crol
don, N. H., February "a, 1919.
My seventy-fourth birthday
My Saviour, and NV God,
The praise belongs to Thee,
In notes of sweet accord.
Dear Lord, I'm not my own:
Bought with thy precious blood,
Thy sovereignty I own,
My Saviour and my God.
My friends, so dear. so kind,
A Saviour's love bestow.
Their ministry divine
Exceeds all things below.
For this / praise thee, Lord,
Thou art the moving cause:
Still guide us by Thy word,
Protect us by Thy laws.
My shield in all time past,
My trust for time to come;
PRAY hold me to the past
Till thou shalt call me home.
I've dear ones passed before:
/ hope they're safe with Thee
Safe on that blissful shore,
From sin and sorrow free.
Not mindless of past years,
OF care, and loss, and pain,
NV eyes shed thankful tears
For blessings that remain.
Love watches DER my ways,
Kind voices speak my name;
And where they cannot praise,
are slow at least to blame.
Thy light shines from above;
Thy low voice speaks within:
Thy patience and Thy love,
Forgive all mortal sin.
And il the eye lose sight,
The ear decline to hear.
Oh, make more clear the spirit light,
More quick the inward earl
If brief my granted span,
And soon the hour of rest.
With love to Thee and man,
My last days be my best.
