 The dedicatory poem is by Ernest Knaebel. In it he says: Thy gentle office, priceless book, shall
 be
 When soft, faint breathed echoes, lull
 and wane
 TO sweep the stilling chords of memory And voice the sainted melodies again hr ;Y, ho ie+ of
 ing years,
 When whitening locks have been our
 heritage.
 Fhy words may be the spring of heart
 felt tears,
 Or laughter be inspired by thy page. Ah! even then, a glance between thy
 lines
 Shall lead our eager thoughts far
 down the hill,
 Through vistas fair, where loves em-
 bracing vines,
 Deep rooted in the fruitful soil, distil Their perfumes as of yore. Here glides
 the Till
 Of pleasure, glinting fickle in the suh; Fretful its marrow course to oVerrun; Wonder, in the open lands, The 'sheltering tree of friendship
 stands. From unsuspected seed to sprout, From sprout to leaf, from leaf to
 tinged bud,
 And then a sudden. bristling out
 In bloom beneath the smiling sun; IA thousand hues of radiancy,
 A dainty fragrance everywhere, IA fabric built too tenderly,
 A texture more beyond compare,- Thus earthly flowers,
 Fed by cooling showers, Arise take on their resstures gay, And dropping die within the day; But YOU, bright blossoms of the Wind,- Sweet friendshipI-are of other kind; Your petals need neer fall, nor colors
 fade;
 Your roots to multiply two countess
 years are made.'
