THIS /, the grave prepared. set down the bier.
Mother, a faithful son we bring thee here
In lowing ease to lie beneath thy breast,
Which many year with loving toll be drcst.

That Adam piled ere good was known by i'll.
The thruste's song AT dawn his spirit tuned.

Wccdcl and mDw'd, and with II true sons care
Wrought thee n mantle of embroidery rare.
The zunwdrop and the winter aconite
Came Mt his call ere frosts had ceasd to bite.
He badc the uruCus fame rs with n charm;
The nesting yiolcts hloomd, and tear'd no
harm,
knowing that for ,heir sakes champion
meek
Did b.uodlcss battle with the weather bleak;
But when the Weather months with largess
came,
His blazon'd beds put heraldry to shame,
And on the summer air such perfume cast
As Saba or the Spice isles nc'or surpast.
The birds all lovd him, for he would not shoot
Even the winged thieves that stole his fruit;
And he lov'd item the little fearless wren,
The redbrcast, curious iu the ways of men;
The pilgrim swallow, and the dearer guest
That sets beneath our caves her plastcr'd nest
The merry white throat, bursting with his
song,
Futter'd within his reach and fear'd no wrong
And the mute flycatcher forgot her dread,
And took her prey beside his STOPPING head.
Receive him, Mother Earth; his work is done.
Blameless he lived. and did ofTense to none.
Blamelcss he died, iorhidding US to throw
Flowers in his grave, because lac lOv'd them so
lie would not have them stife underground,
But bloom among the grasses on his mound.
We, that have loved, must leave him. Moth.
er, keep
\ faithful watch about him in his sleep.

~ Life on the Ocean Wavc!'
The man who wrote IL was green--
He never has been at sea,
And storm he never has seen.
He never has seen "A wave
As 1t dashed DER the vessels deck;
He never has seen n fire at sea
Or been floating upon wreck.
He never has been aroused
From his mornings gentle dose
BY the sound of the splashing water
As il fell from the horrid hose.
He never has heard IA man
Scrubbing right over his head
With a noise sufficient to rouse
From the grave the sumbering dead.
Seasick he never has been to his toes
And Crept into bed in his coat,
While every motion increased his throes
And his feelings were all in his throat.
This man may have sailed in a boat
In some puddle or on Il sound,
But il he has been to sea and wrote
Such song he deserves 10 be drowned.

What is the better part in litef
The impulse oi a silent sympathy
That in the worlds harsh song of wrong and
strife
Attunes a chord OF sweet tranquility
To thrill the darkness OF some heart to light
And send it singing larklke on its way
Above the low hung clouds out into day.
What is the better part in life?
That faith. the inner sight, which needs not
fear
The darkling shadows Of approaching night,
Nor yet the somber promise of swift coming
years;
But holds the last still ray Of sunset Light
Till the first evening star illumc- the night.
What is the better part in life?
The royalty which. born OF truth and right,
Brings consciousness of mans nobility;
That sets a dindem of might and light
Upon his brow with every duty done,
With every battle bravcly waEed and won.
What Is the better part in lifc2
That hrOthu rhuud of man, strong, quick to feel
a weaker brothers fail and help him rise,
Or else, If needs, with him to kncel
Beneath the shadow and in silence wait
Until the welcome rays of morning break.
What is the better part in lifef
The love that helps another to the right;
The faith that turns the darkness into noon;
The sympathy that dulls mans murmured
strife,
And whatsoe'er helps make carth's music rife
With heaven, adds to the better part in life.
Amy Seville Wolff.
