SOME QUIET PLACE IN LIFE.

Sometimes away from the turmoil
 Of our ceaseless toll, and strife, We are laid at rest by the wayside, In some quiet place In life; Outside of the drift current
 That rushes past us so; A way from wanting and winning,
 Away from hurry and show. Just to lie silent and listless,
 Just to wait, and to grow More into pat1en" and msekness, More of true wisdom to know. Then our enc eavors we ponder,
 Motive and~efort we slit; Wonder that we should so wander From peace and grace so drift. Tn en life stands still, and we viewft With truer. dis criminate ken. With better measure we mete out
 Our estimation of men, Iris we'll in our restless pursuing. In the painful, wearying strife, That God bids us rest by the wayside, In some quiet place in lite. Mary Spaulding Hatch in Springfield Republican.
