THE MOON TRAIL.

The moon trail shineth across the sea
And stretcheth off to Il far countree
IN the realms of the old romantic moon,
Whore evening is morning and midnight noon.
Then lovers, away on the bright moon trail,
Zach happy two with o tiny sail,
In a allver waste with stars above
And nothing to do but love and love.
The great Kind moon, like n sphere of light
Swings down to the rim of the sea each nj ght,
Finding ever some bark with happy crew.
Swinging ali the world, though it brings but
two.
Ihen lovers, away ON the bright moon trail ;
sort breezeS are signing to fill your sail
There are stars beneath and stars above
And nothing to do but love and love.
The moon trail nghteth the sea Of life
For lover and maiden. lover and wife,
And lt Joy to sail down its shimmery way,
just two together, forever and aye.
linen lovers, away on the bright moon trail
Each happy twain with a tiny sail,
For there's naught so sweet IN heaven above
Or tho earth beneath as to love and love-

with numerous questions by the other
scholars as to his name, his parents
profession, the amount Of his pocket
money and various other matters about
which boys are curious.
Who's your family doctor?' asked
big lad.
'Ain't got none" was the prompt if
ungranmatical reply.

When forget old faults behind. &
And search the years with forward nkg65
What would l seer
OF all the days what would get,
Before that low green mound shall set
Earth end for me?
True hope, farseeing, looks, yet sees
No empty time of aillless case,
And naught begun;
No idle space where might lie
And watch the sweating worid toll by,
My part undone.
But when shall rise that last sure morn.
Still may l stand amid the corn
All day to reap,
And when the sheaves are heaped at night
AS fades the streak of lonely light,
SO may l sleep.

All the rapture of thy skies
When the winds laugh overhead,
All the boundless moorland ways,

With the glow of yellow broom.
