only another sign of the deep plying
social problems which confront modern

N4TURE'S LESSON.
Flavei scott Mines.


The pink apple blossom is Just out of reach,
Though you stand oil the tips of your
toes t.t
A lesson has Nature she wishes to teach
You will learn 1t before autumn goes.
Strive not for the blossom, nor weep at
defeat,
But patiently wait for awhile
All things come in time-and the moments
are fleet,
Soon your frown will give place to smile.
The blossoms will die, but the good fruit
will grow,
1t will rpen in sun and in rain,
The weight of the apple will bend the bow
low
And the waiting will be to your gain.
Seek not the bright buds that will fade in a
day.
But await the sweet fruit God will send.
The buds may be high and be out of your
way,
While the boughs at the harvest will
bend.

Blue and white, in soft array,
Over the meadows the violets lay,
Lowly and meek, as if kneeling to pray.
A little brook goeth murmuring by,
Singing Its tenderest lullaby,
While softly the violets stir and sigh.
And to the MOSES gently cling,
And dainty bits of color fling
Over the meadows wavering.
List as they whisper soft and low,
10 the warm earth heart below,
Where all sweet treasures spring and grow
And the sweet bird in yonder tree
Sings to the violets merrily.
Sending his heart out eheerily.
And fleeting shadows come and go
Over the grasses, swift and slow,
Down where tine blossoms bloom below.
Little violets. dainty and fair,
This one brief hour, OH. let me share
The spirit OF your sweetness rare.
