THE coy AND THE BROOK,

There's nothing, nothing, like the brook
To hold the boyish heart,
To him tbs like promise book
OF lifes great treasure mart.
1t rippIes, ripples on its way.
Where goes it?" asks the boy,
AS, idlng some bright summer day,
1t gives his thoughts employ.
"'Tis flowing, flowing to the sea,
Wavelets will pillows make"
The boys heart swells with things to be.
The mans heart is awake.
Its murmur, murmur is a song
BeEuiling to the boy:
why, l must to the world belong"
A winsome thought, but coy.
It spreads and spreads in meadows green,
Its face a mirror fair;
Here an inverted world is seen,
The boy finds it a snare
These depths on depths confound his soul.
Away" is now his cry,
1.-THE ripples go to find a goal,
goal too must have l."
And still and still the brook goes on,
The boy to manhood grown
Mayhap has many harvest won
That boyish thoughts have sown.
And now, ah now, his heart returns,
From city by the sea.
To trace the brook among the ferns,
The boy that used to be.
A boys heart still, though old in years,
He thanks God this is so
And signs: Il find the brook endears
The life of long ago.
There's nothing, nothing like the brook
To lift the human heart
IT'S like leaf of Gods own Book,
OF endless life a part"
