Two roads appeared before in my youth,
And, while debating which one should choose,
A still, small voice spoke to my soul and said:
1.-THE way of thorns is thine Thou art not fit
To struggle with the crowd that lives for pef
The way Of thorns is thine. 1t was foredoomed
Then that way co. And, though 1 wept, 1 went
I sat me down beside the weary road
''And what a fool IL moaned, "to leave
The path of flowers to take this stony way,
The path of thorns, where only sorrow comes
To me, and poverty, and wretchedness!
All what fool was Il'' Then spake the voice
In accents scornful: t'Dost repent thy choice9
Well then, thou art a fool, and, more than that,
Thou art a coward Then, in gentler tone:
"And art thou poor? Yet others have not where
To lay their heads and ask for aims and die
And dost thou want? Yet others starve for food'
While others sell their souls to exc out life.
And art thou weary2 Others faint to DEATH
And dost thou grieve? Others have broken hearts.
Look! There is round about the world.
See! There is anguish mid the suffering poor.
Hear! There means of misery in the lands
Men crush their brothers down into the dust.
Power walks with heavy tread upon the necks
OF those who toll that it may-live and rule
All gates to happiness are barred with gold.
They open but to greed and avarice-
The selfshness of the hard hearted few
Makes millions weak. Justice is bought and sold,
And liberty has grown a hollow name.
Foul superstition sits upon throne.
She warps and dwarfs the souls of those she rules
And robs them while they pray. Thieves lord the
world,
This earth might be paradise. IT'S made
By human brutes all that dream of hell
.sThou art thy brothers keeper said the voice.
s'He who is gifted with the mind and heart
To know and feel the misery and wrong
Placed on his fellows, and who will not strive,
With his small might, to lift the CALLING load
And better make the world, does not deserve
To be called man, for he deiles the name.
'0This," said the voice, "shan be thy recompense.
Though sorrow should attend thee all thy days,
Though thou shouldst fall at last in dreamless
dust,
And though not small word of fame should
Upon thee living and none at thy tomb,
Still canst thou hold better gift than these
The final consciousness of duty done,
Which puts a smile upon the face of Death.
Go onward, then. Thy efforts shall not fail
No work for liberty was e'er in vain.
1t will bear fruitage in the aftertime,
When, like a crown of halo, comes the end,
A race delivered and world redeemed

LOVES BURIAL.

mus she to me, with tear in her eye,
"Ah love is dead, for / the boy die!"
To her said, $50, if that be quite clear,
The best thing to do is to bury him, dear"
Than forth we went and sought out place
where yioIets grew in the zephyr's embrace
A grave we dug with the pens we had used
In writing missives dearly perused
Fben gentled him down in a neat coffin made
OF erosian notes that did never upbraid.
But paused We then, ere the earth was returned,
And, weeping, fell Ger the passion inurned
Z soothed her grief, for what else could dor
And kissed her next till she fondled too.
Our pain wine to the boy seeming dead;
Il gave him strength, and he lifted his head.
Then rose we straight, and away did we HE;
We three together-for love cannot die.

The Empty Nest.

The nest is empty on the bough-
The mother bird is sad.
hear her softly calling now
The younglings that she had;
see her sitting all alone
Where once they gave her cheer.
Her precious little ones have flown
And left her mourning here.
And you, my little one, some day
Will cease to need my care
And, with the birds that flew away,
Find joy some otherwhere.
The halls through which your laughter rings
Will all be still, and she
Shall claim the precious love that brings
My present joys to me.
But we shall have our vengeance, too
The mother bird and /
When younglings that are dear to you
Get old enough to fly.
Then you shall come to understand
My love cen as l know
What their love was who toiled and planned
And lost me long ago.

The Living of Life.

That, smiling, it breaks forth in blushing flower,
Thou dost not feel each year Lies deepest

And Loves ecstatic, magic welding power,
Thou hast not lived.

Unfolding Natures laws in beauty shrined,
Thou art not thrilled with FULL profound convlc-
ton
That these are thoughts of Eternal mind,

II Music never spoke to thee so sweetly-
A poets thought, dream of painters
eyes
But thou hast found thy soul in rapture trem-
And taking wing, as 'twere, to paradise.
Thou hast not lived.
II Friendship whispered not to thee so fondly
But that thou vast brother to thy friend,
Uplifting and enshielding him in trouble,
So far thy power and fortune might extend,
Thou hast not lived.
II thou hast never loved a soul deeply
That for its peace thou wouldst not glad have
II thought or memory of that loved ones vision
Hath not e'er since thee blest and purified,
Thou hast not lived.
II Duty ne'er hath called to thee strongly
That thou wouldst not have battled on Its saoe
And, standing bravely all alone If need be,
Defed what fortune might for thee betide,
Thou hast not lived.
Joy grief of man hath left thee coldly-
The pain of beast, the song of bird above
II thou hast not the tender, plying heart throb,
Proclaiming kinship of deep world love,
Thou hast not lived.
n thou hast schooled and trained thy soul 20
nobly,
Exalting it with each refining grace,
That thou mightst yield each thought and each
emotion
In conservation to the human race;
II thou hast grasped the truth Of God so clearly
That thou dost him in each atoms strife;
II thou hast ear for what all Natures speaking
That Life is Love, and Love is quivering Life
Then hast thou lived.

After Many Years.

The grandfather sat in his easy chair,
And the grandson laughed, ''Ho, ho!'
While repeating the very latest joke,
But it filled his heart with woe
When the old man sadly smiled and said:
'sMy boy, that's good joke, know.
I laughed myself when heard it first,
Some fifty odd years ago."
