1.-THE Lily's lips are pure and white
without touch OF IRE.
The roses heart is warm and red and
sweetencd with desire;
In carth's broad field Of deathloss
bloom, the gladdcst lives are
those
Whose thoughts are as the lily, and
whose love Is like the rose"
The law Of compensation Is most
beautifully illustrated, In the follow
Ing fragment:
THE gifts that to our breasts we fold
Are frightened by our losses.
The sweetest Joys a heart can hold
Grow up between lis crosses,
And on llfes pathway many milo
Is made more glad and CHEEKY
Because for Just little while
The way seemed dark and dreary."
There Is a peculiar characteristic OF
Mr.. Waterman which Cor want OF
better term we might call sunnness,
that would disarm the most aggress-
i've OF mortals, As one might Judge
from his writings he Is one OF the most
appreclatiyo OF friends rnd genial

editor His Is nature that rolls away
the clouds and pours In a stream o,
sunshine upon all with whom he comes
In contract. Life Il pleasant and glad
to him, and the Joy OF his wisdom is
that 1t would make everyone else hap

Mr.. Waterman Is stlll young man,
and II the coming years fulfil theii
promise. for with such nature life
grows broader as II grows older, what
may we not expect?
But whatever the future may bring
the world Is richer and better for what
he has already written, the sweet songs
that will live In the loving memory OF
the people.
His poems have lately been printed
