determined and earnest effort at con-

be raised by the surrender of Kaulu-

count of the arbitrary territorial

fullest confidence in the school author

There is a little garden on the earth
Wherein wander gayly day and night;
There could never sad or lonely be-,
For It's o'ergrown with angel beauties bright
There gaze the eyes, undimmed with sorrows
food,
From bowers terrene to cloudless skies and
blue,
While glittering on each fairy finger green
There is distilled crystal drop of dew.
There also flows the brooklet bright and clear,
It's course is unimpeded in these bowers,
And all along its banks, with mods and smiles.
We see our dearest, prettiest morning flowers
There must our grief and signing ever cease,
The heart be glad and lamentations mute;
There hang on twigs of life, forever green,
The bursting buds presaging precious fruit
We seek In vain dark and gloomy mien;
We find no envy, neither hate nor scorn.
There hum the stingless bees with honeyed
wings;
The violet blooms; the rose without thorn.
There smile the suns approving radiant beams;
a brighter twinkle has each merry star;
Joy and delight and bliss are ever near,
While sadness, care and grief groan from afaI
Oh, do not seek that garden on the earthl

When the Oldest colors have vanished, and the

We shall rest land, faith, we shall need it), liz

Till the Master of all good workmen shall sci

And those that are good shall be happy; they
shall sit in golden chair
And splash at a ten league canvas with brushes
of camel's hair;
They shall have real saints to draw from, Silas
and Peter and Paul;
They shall work for year at sitting and
never get tired at all.
And only Rembrandt shall teach us, and only
Van Dyke shall blame.
And no one shall work for money, and no one
shall work for fame,
But all for the sake of working. and each in
his separate star,
Shall paint the Thing as he sees it for the God
of Things as they are.

The Life beyond.

The star is not extinguished when its sets
Upon the dull horizon; it but goes
To shine in other skies, then reappear
In ours as fresh as when it first arose.
The river is not lost when DER the rock
1t pours its flood into the abyss below;
Its scattered force regathering from the shock,
1t hastens onward with yet fuller flow.
The bright sun dies not when the shadowing orL
OF the eclipsing moon ohscules its ray;
1t still is shining on, and soon to us
VIII burst undimmed into the joy of day.
Thus nothing dies, or only dies to live;
Star, stream, sun, flower, the dewdrop and
the gold,
Each goodly thing instinct with buoyant hope,
Hastes to put in its purer, finer mold.
Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust
We bid each parting saint brief farewell;
Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust
To the safe keeping of the silent cell.
-Iioratius Bonar.
