The Gift of Empty Hands.

There were two princes doomed to DEATH
Each loved his beauty and his breath.
"Leave us our life. and we will bring
Fair gifts unto our lord the king"
They went together. In the dew
A charmed bird before them flew.
Through sun and thorn one followed it.
Upon the others arm it lit.
A rose whose faintest flush was worth
All buds that ever blew on earth,
One climbed the rocks to reach. All, we'll,
Into the others breast it fell
Weird Jewels, such as fairies wear,
When moons go out to light their hair,
One tried to touch on ghostly ground. (
Gems of quick fire the other found.
One with the dragon fought to gain
The enchanted fruit and fought in vain.
The other breathed the garden's air
And gathered precious apples there.
Backward to the imperial gate
One took his fortune, one his fate.
One showed sweet gifts from sweetest
lands,
The other torn and empty hands.
At bird and rose and gem and fruit
The king was sad, the king was mute.
At last he slowly said: "My son,
True treasure is not lightly won.
ssYour brothers. hands. wherein you see
Only those scars, show more to me
Than kingdom s price found
In place of each forgotten wound. "

Changes.

Whom we first love, you know, we seldom wed.
Time rules us all. And life indeed is not
The thing we planned 1T out ere hope was
dead.
And, then, we women cannot choose our lot
Much must be borne which it is hard to bear,
Much given away which it were swept to
keep.
God help us all who need indeed his care,
And yet i know the Shepherd loves his
sheep.
My little boy begins to babble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer.
He has his fathers eager eyes, know,
And, they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And l can feel his light breath come and go,
think of one Heaven help and pity meD
Who loved me and whom loved, long ago;
Who might have been, $50 ah, what dare not
think
We all are changed. God judges for us best.
God help us do our duty and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not if some appear
Too cold at times and some too gay and light.
Some griefs gnaw deep, some woes are hard to
bear.
Who knows the past, and who can judge us
righta
All, were we Judged by what we might have
been
And not by what we are, too apt to fall
My little child-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In heaven we shall
know all.

GEMS IN VERSE.
Tete-a-tete.


I'll tell you how the leaves came down.
The great Tree to his children said:
"You re getting sleepy, Yellow and Brown;
Yes, very sleepy, little Red.
1t is quite time you went to bed"
"Ah," begged each silly, pouting leaf.
ssLet us little longer stayl
Dear Father Tree, behold our grief!
IT'S such a very pleasant day
We do not want to go away"
So just for one more merry day
To the great Tree the leaflets chung,
Frolicked and danced and had their way,
Upon the autumn breezes swung,
Whispering all their sports among.
"Come, children all, to bedl" he cried.
And ere the leaves could urge their prayer
He shook his head, and far and wide,
Fluttering and rustling everywhere,
Down sped the leaflets through the air.
