The Voice Above.

Lost on the drift,-and where the full clouds
flow
The steep above him looms,
And strong winds out of distant regions
blow
The snow in streaming plumes,
And yawns the gulf of the crevasse below
In sapphire glows and glooms
Along the precipice there is no way
That he may surely tread,
Slight is his foothold on the slippery stay
That trembes to his tread,
And chill and terrible the dying day
Fails fast about his head
Could he but hear some lowing of the herd,
Some mountain bell ring clear,
If some familiar sound one moment stirred
To guide him lost in fear!
He dares not move,-some reckoning, lead
ing word
Alas could be but hear
In those waste places of the earth and dim
No star shines forth at ALL
Through awful loneliness enshrouding him
He gives one shuddering call,
While horror of great darkness seems to
And fold him in its pail
Then like blown breath of music in the
height
cry comes far and low
He thrills, he springs, he gathers all his
might,
He feels new pulses glow!
His Fathers voice-he needs nor sense nor
sight,
He knows the way to go

In the Winter Woods.

What did | find in the winter woods?
Only snow drifts, you say, and trees,
Their dark stems rising like warriors grim,
While their bare boughs wave in the sigh
ing breeze:
A half-starved rabbit, perhaps, in the
gloom,
And sigh for the vanished summer
bloom.
All these, and thing or two besides
A vine cast shadow on the snow,
In rarest scroll-work A tree beyond
By fairy hands had been decked, | know,
For a Christmas frolc. Its green boughs
hung
With crystal lamps that glittered and
swung.
A flock of birds, with soft gray breasts,
Brooded, silent and watchful, above q
mound,
Low and white, like a woodland grave
Where dead hope might lie. found
The track of some beast that had fled in
haste
From human eyes, DER the snowy waste
A peaceful stiffness the arcades filled
OF this vast cathedral, gray and old,
Till a rosy sunset crept under tho trees
And the silent forest a garden stood,
In warmth and color and light arrayed.
These
Are some things l found in the winter
wood.

For the Entire Family.

Although the leading object of Farm and
Home, which our readers may procure in
connection with this paper, is, of course, to
acquant the cutivator of the soil with the
best methods of farming, it realizes that the
success of the farm largely depends upon
the management of the household. Accord
ingly, much valuable space in each issue is
devoted to the wife, mother and daughters,
not forgetting the boys and girls, who are
soon to become-at least we hope they are
farmers and farmers wives. Replete each
