WHERE NATURE is SUBLIME.

YOSEMITE AS 1 SAW IT-By Dr. Cora A.
Morse. Published by "The Outlook" Oakland,
CAL
This description OF CALIFORNIA; wonderful
natural park by an eloquent California writer
is, in Its illustrations as well as in its word
painting beautiful 1t needs an eloquent
pen to befittingly tell of that glorious valley
where natures grandeur compels reverence
for natures God, and this California lady has
shown herself possessed of the appreciation
necessary to catch the inspiration from those
lofty peaks and lovely waters, and the gift of
language to make US understand their sub
Unity.
The author tells US that these descriptions
were written at intervals during Der stay in
Yosemite, to husband and friends, and were
not intended for the public. "They were
written under the inspiration OF natures
revelations, and from a heart too full to con-
tain its joy unexpressed."
Here are some fine pieces of descriptive
writing:
..Once across the river we are in the edge of
Yosemite Park. Soon the trees show taller,
larger growth. the mountains tower still far
Their heavenward, the chasms grow darker and
deeper, the curves more abrupt, the road mar
rover, the ascent sleeper. At the bottom of
these vast chasms the river winds like a SER
pentine thread of light Great projecting

Gettin' ReIigion.


I amt much on religion, nor prayer-meeting
beside;
I've never jined the church as yet, nor amt
been sanctifed;
But tender sort of feeling draws me nearer
to the skies,
Since got peep of heaven through pair of
trusting eyes.
Time was when nothing moved my thoughts
above this sinful world
No preachers words could stir me up, in wrath
an fury hurled;
But lately I've been drifting higher to the bet
ter land
And the force that leads me upward is little,
dImpled hand.
Seems like the bad thoughts sneak away, with
that wee chap hard by,
And cuss words that were handy onct won t
come whenshe is nigh.
Fact is, it sort O. shames me to see those clear
blue eyes
Look at me when I'm gettin' riled) in pity an
surprise.
I don't know much OF heaven or angels an
such things,
But, somehow, when l picture EN-, 1t amt
with harps and wings,
But with yeller curls, all tangled, and tender
eyes that shine,
An lips that's soft ana loving, like that little
chap oil mine.
Then, when he folds his dimpled hands in his
little bed at night
An whispers, "Now I lay me-" why thar's
something ais my sight,
An my throat gifts sort OF husky when he
blesses me, an then
I'm dead sure I've got religion by the time he
says "Amen!"

about birds and flowers by one who evidently
loves them very much and has studied them
closely. Their songs and their architecture
make the birds interesting inhabitants of the
beautiful garden described. The character
sketches wherein the Likeness of the WAYS OF
birds 10 those of human beings are brought
out is an amusing feature of the book. Scat
tered through the pages are some choice quo
tations from authors who have loved to hold
communion with nature, such as this:
heard the rapture nightingale
Tell from yon elmy grove his tale
OF jealousy and love
In thronging notes that seemed to fall
AS faultless and musical
AS angels strains above.

To the End.

AS the wings of an angel might guard, as the
hands Of a mother might cherish,
So have l loved You, mine own, though hope
and though faith should perish:
And my viii is set to hold you yet, close hid
IN my deep hearts center,
In secret shrine tina none may divine, where
no one but may enter.
When the stars shine dimly and wan, when
the leaves on the pane are iretting,
When the mist has biotted the world in dull
and drearer forgetting,
Over the hill where the wind blows chill, over
the wintry hollows,
A wild voice calls, on my sleep it falls, and
my spirit awakes and follows.

The Fountain of Youth.

The fountain of youth-did you know 1 had
found it?
And where do you think?
Did you dream that the palm trees are clus-
tering round it,
That the sea gardens bloom with the life that
it brings,
And the tropical birds, with their whirring
swift wings,
Fly down to its brlnk2
No. Eastward and westward and southwark
and north,
In mountain or vale,
All in vain, all in vain go We YEARLY forth,
In the sand of the desert, the cave of the hill,
Ye may dig. ye may delye, We may die an we
will,
And yet We shall fail.

And this is the truth

powders add beauty to the tall trees as we
look down upon them. Vines and lupines,
together with azalias and dogweed blossoms,
relieve the otherwise somber scene. The sky
above is lost now, excepting patches here and
there, being hid by the lofty pines around u.s."

solid rock, are lighted here by the fire in

night; the echoes of the tearing cataract exert

sample of the advice he gives TO readers:
Sculpture has been defined as the art of
knocking off superfuous marble. Rapid read
ing is the equally difficult art of skipping
needless words and sentences To recognize
them as needless without reading them is
feat that would be thought impossible If
scholars everywhere did not daily perform it.
With the turning OF few leaves to pluck out
the heart of books mystery, this is the high
art of reading-the browning proof that the
reader has attained the mastery of books"

The Old-Time Fire.


Talk erbout yer buildin's
That's all het up by steam;
Give me the old oak fire
Whar the old folks ulster dream.
The rickety dogirons-
One-sided as could be;
The ashes banked with 'taters-
Roastin' thar fur me.
The dog on one side drowsin'
Or barkin' nigh the door;
The kitten cuttin' capers
With the knittin' on the floor.
An me little towhead
By mammy's side at night,
With both my cheeks a-burnin'
From the red flames leapin' bright
These steam het buildin's make me
Just weary fur the blaze
That wuz a heap more omfortable
In childhood night an days.
An I'd give the finest heater
In the buildin's het bv steam
Fer the old-time chimbly corner
Whar the old folks ulster dream.

HUM Before Action.

BY RUDYARD KIPLING.
The earth is full OF anger.
The seas are dark with wrath,
The nations in their harness
60 up agaiDs our path!
Ere yet we loose the legions--
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God Of battle, aid!
High Lust and froward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow,
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek thy mercy now;
The sinner that forswore thee,
The fool that passed thee by,
Our times are known before thee
Lord, grant US strength to die!
For those who kneei beside US
At affairs not thine own.
Who lack the lights that guide US,
Lord. let their ia III atone;
If wrong we did to call them,
BY honor bound they came;
Let not thy wrath befall them,
But deal to us the blame.
From panic, pride and terror,
Revenge that knows no rein,
Light haste and lawiess error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath,
In silence and answering
To taste thy lesser death!
All, Mary, pierced with sorrow,
Remember, reach and save
The soul that comes tom orrow
Before the God that gave!
Since each was born of woman,
For each. at utter need,
True comrade and true foeman,
Madonna, lntercede!
Fen now their vanguard gathers,
Fen now we face the fray,
AS thou didst help our fathers.
Help thou our host to-day!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
In life. in death, made clear,
Jehovah of the Thunder
Lord God Of Battles, hear!

A Song of the English.

BY RUDYAED KIPLING.
We have fed our sea for a thousand years
And she calls u.s. still unfed,
Though there's never wave of all her waves
But marks our English dead.
We have strawed our best % the weeds unrest,
To the shark and the steering gull.
If blood be the price OF admiralty,
Lord God, we ha paid in full
There's never a flood goes shoreward now
But lifts a keel we manned;
There's never an ebo goes seaward now
But rops our dead on the sand
But sinks our dead on the sands forlorn
From the Ducies to the Swim
If blood be the price of admiralty,
If STOOD be the price Of admiralty,
lord God, we ha' paid It in.
We must feed our dead for thousand years,
For that is our doom and pride,
Asst was when they sailed with the Golden Hin
Or he wreck that struck last tide,
Or the wreck that lies on the sp0uting reeS
Where the CHASTITY blue lights flare
If blood be the price Of admiralty,
Ii blood be the price OF admiralty,
II blood be the price of admiralty,
Lord God, we ha' bought it fart

THE POET,

The poet listens to a voice that comes
In dreamlize intonations from afar,
Silent to other men, and when he speaks
His language vibrates with the song he hears.
He treads the House of Anguish, yet his tones
Forever echo heavenly refrains.
